My first major development project was an intranet I wrote in Cold Fusion 4.

I was an on-site support tech for a software company who wrote software for tracking market data for trading companies around Wall Street. The company used a huge MS Access "app" to track our knowledge base and customer support requests. The app obviously took a ton of time to develop but was slow and difficult to use and required a weekly upload / merge to the main office in Colorado.

So one day while strolling around downtown after lunch, I randomly happened upon some guy selling business and programming books on a table on the sidewalk (on Broad Street for those familiar). I bought a book on Cold Fusion 4 for $20 and over the next two months put together a prototype in my spare time that was a slick interface on top of the Access Database.

It was a hit with the NY office, and after about a year of working on it in my spare time, the whole company started using it. They replaced the Access app with my intranet and hired a SQL server guy to manage the database behind it. They didn't want me to leave my on-site support position because I was doing really well with it, so I ended up splitting my job - half time as a tech, half as a programmer.

That company, which was incredibly successful at the end of the 90s, has since shrunk from 150 or so employees around the world to less than 10. From what I understand they're still using that old Cold-Fusion based intranet I wrote all those years ago.

After I got laid off I moved on to PHP because I couldn't afford CF on my own.

AS3 remains, to this day, one of my favorite programming languages. I had really hoped JavaScript would start to resemble it eventually.

Occam's Razor doesn't make the simplest explanation automatically correct. Occam's Razor means you test the simplest hypothesis first.

While I doubt it's psychics, if I were to assert that as fact I'd have to disprove that hypothesis.
Eclipse OpenJ9 builds on top of Eclipse OMR. Eclipse OMR has OS X builds ... What a great thing it would be to have OpenJ9 building and running on OS X :) !

Disclaimer: I am a project lead for both Eclipse OpenJ9 and Eclipse OMR.

OS X has been talked about, but we have a lot of plumbing to connect up at the project right now and that has high priority for us. If someone wants to kick that work off, I would happily encourage it :) .
research is pointing towards this being this case though: https://news.utexas.edu/2017/06/26/the-mere-presence-of-your...
Congrats! This is really cool!
Wind speed at any given point. Situational awareness.

I think his point was less about the tool as is, but the simplicity and ease of access to information.
One can both vendor and use the package manager to fetch updates. Just add the node-modules directory to your VCS.

The thing with node is that AFAIK it requires you to have libraries for what in most languages would be in the standard library. Maybe someone should start a "stdnode" project where the most popular / successful libraries for generic tasks are integrated into a dependable, maintained de-facto standard library, with an eye on quality and sanity, and community / Joyent funding.
A fold is usually restricted to a combining function of 2 arguments - accumulated-so-far and current item.

A for-loop's body has no such restrictions, it can access any number of neighbor elements if the algorithm so requires.

a[i] = a[i-1] * a[i+1]
I remember reading about Puerto Rican mafia bosses doing this to show an explanation for how they could afford their lifestyles. It was either known in the community that winners could be sold for cash or they'd have a deal with the stores selling the tickets. Some tickets win big right away and others are brought back to the store for confirmation.

It's not impossible. HotSpot/OpenJDK already has one. It's a native method/compiler intrinsic rather than a keyword but amounts to the same thing:

I don't have any specific reason to try it personally but I do know that the mind is a very powerful thing.

In hindsight, I don't think I presented my question as accurately as I could. I wasn't skeptical of you, and your story, so much as I am skeptical of the results being broad, repeatable, and not due to something unknown. In other words, I am still a bit skeptical of this being viable for most folks,or even many folks.

You mention that you were receptive to the idea, and that makes some more sense. If I understand correctly, you did this by identifying and reducing your stress?

I don't want to ask medical questions, as I have no right to the answers nor do I wish to pressure you into disclosing things you may wish to keep private. The brain is a very powerful thing (though I remind myself of which specific organ it is that tells me that) and it is great that you found a solution.

I guess, I'm curious if there was more to it than being receptive at a specific time and having access to the book. I'm reminded of similar claims about religion and religious texts? That's not meant as a slight, it's just that I wonder if the mechanism is the same, if it's using the same parts of the brain, and things of that nature.

Alas, I am entirely unqualified to speculate, it's just curiosity on my part. It also makes me curious about myself. I'm in remarkably good health, more so if one considers my age and history. I sometimes attribute that to living a life that is virtually free of stress.

So, I wonder if there is more to it. I know low-stress is linked to certain health benefits, though I'm not sure of the rapidity or physiological mechanisms. I believe I read a study that correlated the placebo effect with a reduction in stress. I'm unable to find it, at the moment.

Either way, thank you for your answer and sorry for the novella reply. If you're curious, my low-stress life is due, in part, to being mindful. It works for me.

Again, thank you. I have some free time later today, I am going to do some reading to satisfy my curiosity. I am a doctor, but not that kind of doctor. It's just intellectual curiosity, though it may answer some of my questions for myself.

Do you have any online resources that you might recommend? I'm going to hit up Google Scholar.
and the effect is stronger than filter cigarettes because it's unfiltered and presumably because cannabis would, just like menthol, open up the lungs.
Is the underlying data updated in realtime?
YouTube red isn't even available in my country for some reason. According to advertisements I'd get it with my Google music subscription. Nope. Not available for some reason so enjoy the ads of course no access to their specific content. Back to Spotify and ublock I went.
I've slowed down a lot lately in my posts to FB and IG. I think the turning point for me was when I saw a friend at a party (someone I don't see often and don't have much of a one-on-one relationship with), and she told me something to the effect of "I decide where to eat based on the photos you post on IG". I'm sure she was exaggerating, and certainly didn't mean to imply any sort of obligation on my part, but it hit me... why am I posting all this stuff?

I've never had any burning desire to be some sort of "online influencer", so what was I really doing? Either I'm bragging about all the cool places I've been to (which I think would be pretty lame of me), or I'm in effect advertising for the restaurants I visit (which isn't too objectionable, but certainly isn't my job). If I were posting things for artistic or comedic value that I wanted to share, or posting actual photos that illustrated what's going on in my life, I'd feel better about it.

So I post less.

And as for FB, my feed is overloaded with politics and social justice posts. Both of which are important, but it gets to be too much, very quickly. And it's not what I want to use FB for -- I have news aggregators for those sorts of things. I used to have pinned tabs in Firefox open for FB and Twitter, but upon closing them a couple months ago I find I'm much happier. I can still manually navigate to FB when I need to, and I still have the mobile app, but I think I'm starting to find the right level of engagement with FB that makes me happiest and gives me the most utility.
Did you read my other comment about why Fibonacci promoted the decimal number system? Because, at least he thought in his qualitative assessment that the Decimal number system was better and he brought in its adoption in the roman world (Feel free to look it up).

All I was trying to say was the article is very superficial and does not capture the "real value" zero eventually provided.

Wow, now you got me curious about that case... Dare elaborate?
I once had a Miniscribe 40MB drive that would actually cause the desk to visibly shake when you were reading & writing to it.
I believe you meant to say the "SR-71".

A SR71 would not have "War Emergency Power". I'm not even sure I've seen reference to "War Emergency Power" on any turbine engine. It's simply not a combat aircraft. As a matter of its regular operation, it must be capable of outflying any aircraft or missile in pursuit. In other words, flying at the absolute maximum airspeed was a normal event that is a possibility in every mission. Not a last ditch effort to disengage.

You really have nothing to back up the claims you are making. Not only is the SR71 no longer in operation, the aircraft don't even really exist anymore. The static displays out there largely had their wings cut off for transport. They were just reattached on site afterwards. They aren't airworthy any longer. Even if the top speed was a bit higher than published, there would be no reason to keep it classified now.

Plenty of pilots have published memoirs about how regular flight was Mach 3, with excursions to Mach 3.2. The absolute speed is just like any other aircraft. It's limited by design factors. Of course some crews wound up flying faster than Mach 3.2. But it's not like the blackbird was running around secretly at mach 10 or something.
It's one of those uncomfortable truths. It's hard to deny that the lawnmower is good at what it does, because it is, and has been doing it for a long time.

Also probably responsible for many decades of lost progress, though.

For those that don't get the lawnmower reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5170246
That article took a very long time to say that computer chips are becoming more specialized (like brains! because brains aren't homogenous).

Just a bunch of fluff.
trouble is, its not the tobacco doing the killing, its the radioactive high phosphate fertiliser used to grow it.

in total responsible for 3/5s of american deaths. the 1/5 from smoking, and 2/5s from food.

So by your rational, american food should be illegal.

Which is i guess why so many other countries banned imports of it.

The point is that your idea of "ordinal rank with ties" isn't specified.

Your ordinal rank is essentially a question of "how many teams are ranked above this one". ie US and China are both 0, Russia is 1 because there is no 1 otherwise, GBR is 2, AUS/GER are tied for 3, Korea and France are 4, and Italy and Japan are 5. But there's no way to claim that Italy and Japan should be below France.
I was thinking a electromagnetic rail controlled by precise sensors combined with very powerful gyroscope would also work. Probably still need to evacuate some of the air.
Its interesting to see new prices go up while used electric car prices are falling so incredibly rapidly, that its caused me to seriously consider one.

A barely used (20k miles) 2014 BMW i3 can be bought for ~16k, and an equally used Nissan Leaf can be bought for half of that!

My Honda only has 75K miles on it, so I really don't need to upgrade just yet, but I'd jump on these deals in a heartbeat if I was in the market.
Love how these parasites appropriate words like "fairness" and define the scope of all possible ethical options within the bounds of whatever business model is profitable for them...

Have you considered switching to an e-cigrarette without the intention of quitting (which is where I think most people trip up)? I have a friend who uses a balance of nicotine in his e-cigarette that is way way more nicotine than he would ever get from a normal cigarette, he is extremely happy (and claims that the real trick is you need to not use a cheap e-cigarette but get one that nails the temperature consistently), and as far as we can all tell he is avoiding the horrible health effects. I mean: you are addicted to nicotine, not tar, right?
Herein lies a dangerous assumption prominent in neoliberal thinking: that "building something for people" is only possible by making something that is inherently "profitable." Kay has spoken endlessly on the fact that PARC was -- in spirit, structure, and personnel -- largely the last gasp of the ARPA/IPTO funding culture. That we don't have this kind of basic research funding anymore is one of the reasons we don't have inventions on par with the Internet and personal computing. This is one of the points he harps on about.

Few companies today will create anything that is a truly shattering invention, for the simple fact that companies are not structured to invest the time and money in ways that such inventions demand: decade long cycles, where failure and "wasting" money is the norm. The quarterly earnings cycle prevents this. What's worse, that cycle has been absorbed into the way politicians and governments now think. Today the NSF wants you to demonstrate how your research will produce the desired results when applying for grants. That's not how exploratory basic research works. You'll only ever get more arcane iterations on current systems and technologies.

Kay has spent his life doing this kind of exploratory research. PARC, Squeak, STEPS -- I'd call all of that "execution." But perhaps others who see businesses and profits as the sole reason to get up in the morning would disagree.
I opened an issue where discussion on OS X support can happen: https://github.com/eclipse/openj9/issues/36
Exactly. Academic publishers especially have slashed all the editorial work they traditionally did and now contribute nothing. Unless you want a shitty $150 printing of a book. They are utterly parasitic on other people's money: grants, libraries, university salaries (and the weight of a book publication in promotions)...

When I was in grad school I got a thousand dollars or so to copyedit and typeset a prof's book. He had to pay for it out of his grant. The publisher (Springer) literally did nothing.

This situation was neither inevitable or accidental. I forget a source, but a few decades ago some business types realized academic publishing was a captive market, so bought up a bunch of presses and started exploiting it more and more.
Why iPhone X Face Recognition Is Cool and Creepy
As someone who has worked at a tech company in support, this is article is misguided. It assumes that all companies are being thoughtless and asking any employee to answer customer support tickets without any training or guidance. We had engineers and product manager answer a few tickets with customer support agents providing guidance. These folks had training and they volunteered to answer tickets for 1 hour/week for a few weeks (with supervision). The engineers and product managers who participated enjoyed the experience because they could see first had the user problems and the language they used. It helped them understand our product not just from the business/product perspective, but from the user perspective. In addition, it allowed them to gain insight into what customer service agents have to deal with on a day to day basis. This led to products being built and launched with customer service in mind. This was a cultural shift and still exists today. Customer service is looped in as product is being built to get help articles and CS agents familiar with how to support new features.
High-quality vacuum is fairly readily available at the ISS.
Lack of awareness, tolerance and acceptance. Many people are just too hypocritical and I could point many such issues, so the problem is a more general one in society.
The RTSJ solution is to simply pre-allocate everything you could ever want and reuse that.

That’s horrible to use for game development.
I'm one of the many people who have designed yet another little language; mine is Best Calculator BASIC and a manual for it is at https://bestcalculator.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/bestcalcu...

BC BASIC is designed to write "little programs" by relatively inexperienced programmers. As such
- The IDE is small (Visual Studio is 10 Gig; mine entire thing is about 50 meg)
- The IDE includes tons of examples (similar to how the Arduino IDE has tons of examples) and there are fully explained examples in the manual
- There is direct support for writing CSV and JSON output. It will convert an array of data, for example, directly to a correctly formatted CSV line. You can read in CSV files, too.
- A number of common Bluetooth devices have built-in support. Using a TI SensorTag or a Puck.Js device is simple instead of being a maze of Bluetooth services and characteristics.

What I've found to be real winners for design:

Lots of examples is a real win

Being able to copy-and-paste is very nice. For example, when you paste most code into a modern email client, the quotes get changed to smart quotes. My language allows for smart-quotes, and so the language doesn't get mangled. More subtly, a minus sign will get changed to an em-dash or similar, and my language handles those, too

Direct support for CSV/JSON and common Bluetooth devices is a big win.

Not worrying about where files and projects go is a win. In my system, when you write a program, the IDE simply keeps track of it. It also uses Windows data roaming, so you write on one device and it's automatically sent to you other devices.

What isn't important is program speed. Yes, a company like GM might spend a couple hundred thousand making a language more efficient so they can buy a $0.24 device instead of a $0.25 device. At their scale, it makes a difference. For everyone else, the cost of programmer time vastly outweighs pretty much every other consideration.

Also not important are most of the language details. People who aren't full-time programmers will pretty much find all syntax to be weird and won't appreciate clever or subtle features.
MNIST error rates are noise these days, but otherwise agree. These guys have been around for the entire deep learning boom of the last decade, and have never produced results to match their handwaving predictions. They're the Moller Skycar of the field.
Likewise, first HDD I ever had was 40Mb. Prior to that storage had always been tape/floppies for us.

An auto-parking drive was such a revelation after that one.
"Word boundaries not being represented in orthography means that there is more ambiguity about whether something should be regarded a compound word, a fixed phrase, or a single word."

DeFrancis' counterexample for the myth that each Chinese character is a word is "coral", 珊瑚 (I hope). According to the dictionary he quoted, the two characters, individually, mean "coral" but they're never used separately.
I think you've missed the point that willun is making. It's in general impossible to assign a numeric "rank" to a partially ordered set such that the rank(A) > rank(B) iff A > B and rank(A) = rank(B) iff A is incomparable to B. I'm pointing out a concrete example where you cannot assign a rank to France that is consistent with the rank of Italy and the rank of Korea. Since France is incomparable to both Italy and Korea, it must have the same rank as both, but Korea is better ranked than Italy. Contradiction.
I've got six WD Reds and can't hear them at all.

It's a home NAS but I figure I can shut it down to replace a drive. No need for drive bays, neat as they are.
It's always nice to see project members in threads like this. Thanks!
It's still unsigned. It's 2017. You are trying to run a software repository. It's plain lazyness on their part.
If it's that bad, it should be easy to discover what is fastest.

But the way too common situation is that you look at a program under development and tell people "no way, that list will be too large to keep searching, you should design it around a hash set", and people reply something about premature optimization and keep going, then it gets released and is too slow to use so you get to rewrite all their code under pressure.
I am far from an expert in Deconstruction, but I am an expert in mathematics and have read a fair amount on the foundations of mathematics. I find your description technically correct, but highly misleading.

The vast majority of mathematicians will agree with "no one true foundation". However, unlike the bulk of postmodern/deconstructive work, they are then perfectly happy to say "this particular foundation is good enough to explore some interesting ideas", as opposed to wallowing in the fact that they had to take a generative step to create the mooring of their meaning.

In my non-expert opinion, I think many people instinctively rebel against Deconstruction, not because they can't accept that there has to be a faith-act to pragmatically root meaning... but because Deconstructionists, having discovered that such faith acts are necessary, then refuse to engage with any particular choice made by people who want to discuss pragmatic meaning.

Mathematicians have long ago internalized the important, but ultimately quite limited, idea behind Deconstruction (which, by the way, they didn't need Deconstructionists to tell them, since the idea of having to subjectively choose an axiom system goes back at least to the Greeks). Having understood this, they have since moved on with their lives to continue to do important and valuable things, just as they were doing before. What have the Deconstructionists done?
Me too, years of issues with 'Carpal Tunnel', 'RSI', my own research into psychoneuroendocrinology and encountering the Sarno approach changed the way I looked at my situation, sensations from my nerves means I am alive, they are not to be relied on as reliable indicators of 'pain', 'pain' should be reserved for things we can do something about. Unwrapping the psychological foundations as to why I chose to start interpreting these signals as 'pain' is a complex and interesting task that is not 'over', but the progress is meaningful and long lasting. I believe advances in continuous arrays and high resolution fMRI together with a raft of new devices that are looking at change over time will bring a scientific lense to Sarno's work and start to close the loop on the mind body experience we call life :)
Yes, that's kind of a strange metric.

The discouraging thing in the article is "Although the global EV market set a record for number of sales in 2016, market growth actually slowed to 60 percent in 2016 from 77 percent in 2015."

Deep Learning's Many Body Problem
The only problem I see is that there is not much experience how long these cars will last and what kind repair they will need.
I also suffer from migraines, although not nearly as severe as yours. I strongly recommend you look into kratom for pain management. I generally take a small dose of two grams alongside 200mg ibuprofen and a 10 hour headache will usually disappear within 30-60 minutes. I won't promise that you'll get the same results, but if you're desperate, kratom is relatively benign, cheap, and helps for all kinds of pain.
