> Even in optimised code, there were temporary objects and copies all over the place, and they were very hard to eliminate without resorting to using global arrays everywhere.

Could you elaborate a bit with some examples, because this goes against everything I understand about the strengths of the language: (without having used it beyond a few first examples myself)

- you can define types and operations on them down to the bits themselves, giving you a lot of control over the memory (and definitely a lot more than Python)

- it has a lot of support for in-place mutation out of the box

- globals are almost always bad news for performance

Sure, adding two arrays with

C = A + B

.. produces an intermediate array, yes, but if you know A and B are not reused, wouldn't using:

A += B
C = A

.. instead be enough?
Do you have any source for this affirmation that people are moving from Python to Julia/Go/etc ?

Those language are definitely growing, but so is Python and while there is movement between the languages I am not sure is a massive unilateral migration as you seem to imply.

Not totally related to the post, but IMHO the following happen too often:

I'm looking for a camera. So I opened a market place in my country that sells those cameras. Then I decided to buy one.

Then, for a few days, I open facebook and I only see ads about cameras, from the same marketplace. That's useless as I'm sure (and they should know with some confidence) I'm not buying another camera. They should/could target me ads about SD cards, lens. But certainly not cameras.

In this case the way the author shows it isn't the best one: he modifies Python code to be more realistic - that's ok, but doesn't he do the same thing for Julia? Obviously, writing a recursive fibonacci functions isn't the best way to implement it. Obviously, using caching can improve performance. But why not to apply these changes to both implementations?

I read your question as being about how facebook found out from amazon what you bought. I don't know much about web technology but it seems to me they don't need to know, since the ads you mentioned came from Amazon, even if they're served inside facebook. So it's enough if facebook gives enough info to amazon so that the latter can infer who you are, then they know that you bought that bike.

It's somewhat encouraging that the algorithms are still so stupid as to advertise precisely the things you are least likely, a large infrequent purchase that you just made!

The advantage of television channels and networks is they provide "curation". Someone needs to wade thru the crap and find the "quality programming" you desire.

Take the average Nova or Frontline episode. It's not cheap to produce. Do you think people could afford to put the work into making shows like that if all they could count on was the crumbs that Google threw at them from page views on Youtube?

And even if the funding could be solved, how would you discover this programming? There are very few HN submissions that ever get much notice. And the HN crowd is not nearly big enough to provide enough Youtube eyeballs to actually fund "real" programming.
nope, no one on HN has any technical knowledge whatsover.... all the smart tech peeps have gone over to this thing called "myspace", you might want to give it a go :)
The language isn't changing along your suggested dimension of change.

People have been misspelling homonyms since the beginning of the written word. Variance in homonym spelling decreases over time, though. "I'd of" is no more likely to supplant "I'd've" than "their" is "they're" - i.e. it's just a weak signal that someone is ignorant.
I'll lay this down as timestamp'd predictions for future reference.

1. The McCain collision was the result of the merchant ship not seeing (visually or on radar) the McCain and turning directly into the path of the Navy ship. In that location, there would have been little warning for McCain, and with the combined speeds of the ships easily over 40 knots the damage would be devastating. McCain will still shoulder some of the blame, the CO and OOD will be reprimanded, but ultimately this will be seen as a "normal" collision that unfortunately happens every so often.

2. The Fitzgerald collision, however, will be found to be caused by gross negligence on the part of the Navy ship, and at least two officers (the Officer of the Deck and the Tactical Action Officer) will be court-martialed. There's no excuse for that collision, with that geometry, in that part of the world, and with such little warning (not waking the CO, for example).

On a related note, I had a weird experience where I was talking about a trip to Vietnam with my friends. A few hours later, I saw an ad for air travel to Vietnam on my FB page.

Now I'm 100% sure I hadn't googled or searched for Vietnam previously. At first, the conspiracy theorist inside said "they're listening!" through my phone microphone or whatever. But then, I thought, could they have been forming a pattern of my behaviour over the past several days, cross-referenced across several platforms (maybe I had searched for "Travel destinations" and also a friend had given a travel recommendation of Vietnam on chat)? Have the algorithms gotten that advanced?

Mainstream porn is about objectification. At the birth of modern video pornography, pornography was a vehicle for a story. The story was the theme, and the sex took up a small portion of the total run time, because who wants to watch people fucking for two hours?

Objectification is a very specific thing as regards sex. To objectify is to render less than human, to make something inanimate, lifeless. To have a single task, to be used as a tool. As a thing to be achieved or gained or possessed, bought and sold; a commodity.

Mainstream heteronormative porn mainly espouses a chauvinistic male point of view. In that view, women are usually objects. And since the women are the main subject of such porn, there's no focus on the guy, either - so both often seem like objects.

Porn in itself is an object, similar to a painting or piece of music. And also like art, the point is not to objectify the subject - it's to identify with the subject. What one does after that is particular to the person. Maybe you fall in love with the person on the screen? Hate them? Imagine a past lover who looks similar? Not everyone sees porn subjects as objects. Sometimes people want beautiful art, or escape. They don't necessarily want to see two machines banging into one another for an hour.

Jolla has been releasing Sailfish OS updates every few months for the last three and a half years. I imagine that they would keep doing that as long as they stay alive. But my imagination is no guarantee. Especially since I can also imagine their hardware vendor partners not wanting to have to work on regularly updating their modifications to changing versions of the base system.
