In an embedded context lua is definitely still useful without those things, although coroutines are nice to have almost all of the lua work I've done hasn't used any of those features. IO and pattern matching seem important if you're using lua for text processing, which isn't the only useful reason to use Lua.

Do you believe Steve Jobs could not have told you the statistics on treatment for the normal treatment for the cancer he had? Or that he was not aware that most reputable literature on homeopathics is less than encouraging? Turning the stables do you feel you have access to all the information necessary on his situation and logic to be able to accurately judge his actions?

Society as a whole is becoming increasingly arrogant. If an individual does not agree with "us" that they must be somehow wrong, misinformed, or illogical. The reason for this is easy to understand. We all hold the beliefs we do because we hold them to be the most logical and justified. So somebody who doesn't hold such beliefs must be wrong, and we need to "fix" them. Yet of course the exact same is true of people who hold differing beliefs.

And this is in no way to suggest that both sides can be right on issues where there is indeed a clear answer. On many issues one side will be wrong, and one side will be right. And this is perfectly fine. It is critical in society that people are at liberty to make decisions that we may not consider logical, or even appropriate. Elon Musk deciding to spend all of his fortune attempting to start up an aerospace company and an electric car company is certainly something that very few would call a logical endeavor. It is missing the gravity of such risk to suggest it's only money. He gets emotional to this day when speaking of his time then - one can only speculate what would have happened had everything collapsed; there was certainly much more than money at risk there. But he succeeded. So we regard him as brilliant instead of a misguided fool, illustrating the absurdity of our labeling.

If you want something other than money, consider the history of penicillin. Now considered one of the most important medical discoveries of all time - the whole concept of injecting mold into one's body to inhibit bacteria is not exactly what most would call logical. And for years his discovery was completely disregarded by the public and by medical science. And that's fine - but it's also fine that people are free to pursue outlandish avenues and ideas without condemnation and judgement other than "Well, that's not what I'd think given the body of evidence available."
Depends on what you say when at Taco Bell.

I don't think it's really a contradiction. In a startup you still have to choose the quickest path that you think will lead to success. It just depends on what your definition of success is. RoR can be a safe choice even for Haskell devs if they just want to build an off-the-shelf webapp with all the trimmings. But if your definition of success is that you want to create a formally-verified smart contract platform and cryptocurrency, you're going to use something like Haskell or OCaml: https://github.com/tezos/tezos
>a socially accepted use of these weapons in the US

No it isn't. Homes in the U.S. are primarily built of wood, rifles can and will produce a tremendous amount of over penetration in such "self defense" scenarios.

The idea of some idiot who cannot comprehend ballistics in an emotional panic lacing up my neighborhood with a 30rd mag fed rifle is terrifying. Take some self defense courses please.
The running joke that I've heard is that Elon operates on Mars years – if you multiply his projections by 1.88x, that's frequently closer to the mark. :)
Roughly that, although it uses a Google-developed internal tool. Source code files can be transferred to one's workstation (which lives in a Google building), but not to one's laptop—all work on a laptop must be done through a remote session, either SSH, VNC, or via a (again Google-internal/proprietary) cloud-based editor.
Also consider that modifications could be make with 3D printers, and those designs could be floating on the dark web.

That's the core reason why back pointers are hard: they result in complicated relationships between things.

That's why they need built-in checking, rather than hacks using "unsafe". Use of back references is going to have to be restricted so you can't get two mutable handles to the same object. The trick is making that work through restrictions which can be checked locally.
>It was eye opening how rampant mental disease is among the homeless

Something I read some time ago that really resonated and I'll (badly) paraphrase:

We think that a person becomes homeless when they spend their last dollar and have none left for housing. But that's not true, and in fact they become homeless when they spend their last social connection and have none left for housing.

Framing it this way, for me, it became easier to understand why, in societies without strong safety nets for those with mental illnesses, homelessness and mental illness is so strongly correlated. Such people run out of doorways they can darken, couches they can surf, and then have no further fallback option short of being out on the street.

This isn't the only situation someone becomes homeless, of course. But it seems a common one.
I want to know more about your 'cloud desktop' setup. I have tried to do it myself but it's quite laggy (like heavy lag in typing code, scrolling content). I wonder how you guys solve that.

I know Ace-like editor works great but it's usually a minimal web editor compared to something like Sublime running on vnc/rdp.
We cling to the "right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" portion of the 2nd amendment, but forget the preceding piece of the same amendment "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State".

What we have now is the absence of domestic security and no evidence of a well regulated militia. We kowtow to the ever expanding security theater encompassing the small activities in our lives, and our day to day freedom decreases with each pat down and purse search.

The people at this show were screened, patted down, searched and then fenced in. They were the proverbial fish in a barrel and they were being shot at.

Where is the well-ordered militia that has lists of citizens who have arms stock piles like Paddock? When are citizens with militia level armaments trained in an ordered and effective fashion so that we may call upon them in times of crisis? When are arms-bearing citizens evaluated for their mental stability to ensure they exercise their rights in a fashion that promotes the security of a free state? We do none of these things because we are a failing state. By failing state, I specifically mean that we are failing to fully implement laws and regulations that enact the full meaning and intent of the 2nd amendment.
There are some things I shop exclusively online. With other things, experience has been a good teacher; I've learned to shop for them in-store.

Like clothes. The experience is invariably better in stores than online. Amazon might offer better selection but I see that as a negative; I don't want to spend 2 hours just trying to find the right pair of jeans from 2,000 variants.
Zoning is the major cause of homelessness. There are almost no cities where you can set up a SRO or tiny houses and actually help people. If Bezos is still looking for a cause I hope he considers setting up a free city, some place probably in the desert where anyone can come to live for free.
Rather than a bottle neck, I'd say the production line wasn't up for the majority of the quarter. At 220 cars in ~120days, that is an 8-12 hour average takt time. Since nobody does that in production, it's more likely that they take the line down, fix things, and bring it up again days later. I'd be more interested in the change in delivery rate over the 3 months. If 218 cars were delivered on the last day, it would be 6k/mo or 70k/yr, great! More likely progress has been slow and hopefully steady (30=>60=>90 per month) for their ramp.
The code analogy is ok, but remember that the natural sciences are not engineering - a problem to be overcome.

There is great value in publishing negative results in the form "I hypothesized X, did Y, and turned out X was wrong". It's my experience these negative results are often well controlled and trustworthy as there are few things that make one trust a method as much as holding onto it for dear life because you have spent so much time building it. Incidentally that's not always as true for positive results where the incentives are tilted towards stopping once you get ahead.
I found it quite easily in a few clicks actually. I too wanted to see the original so I just googled "tesla ir", clicked first link, then at the bottom of the page I saw 'Recent Releases' and clicked 'Tesla Q3 2017 Vehicle Deliveries and Production'
Clojure.spec is very clever, but it can be exactly duplicated in a statically-typed language by unit or property testing. It doesn't bring anything to the table that is totally a superset of static typing.

> In such a case, the line between these two type environments narrows.

Not really. Static types still offer you total proofs of the properties you encode as types, not just experimental results of tests.

Taking your garbage edit of the parent comment and setting it totally aside:

Legal firearms routinely become illegal, most often when they are stolen by people who are already criminals. Unlocked cars are a great source of 'legal' pistols as it turns out.

The problem of small arms proliferation is real and it is one of the reasons U.S. and other modern nations regulate them so much.
Yes Quartus is complete crap! I wrote some of it.
> competitive pressure is what drives progress

Except when it doesn't. It's perfectly possible to have, for example, a bunch of scientists crazy motivated to learn the answers to their questions and all collaborate as cooperatively as possible toward that end. Adding competition could result in duplicated effort, secrecy… or to added pressure and motivation… I mean the one thing we can say is that there's no guarantee that competition is good or bad for progress, it depends on so many factors.

You can reasonably say that competition can drive progress. Your sentence implies that it is the primary (or sole??) driver of progress, and that's nonsense.

Consider Richard Dawkins' tree analogy: competition is what drives trees to become super tall, but that means they spend tons of energy doing that. Being tall in itself has no value to the trees. Yes, evolution inherently creates ecosystems around tall trees, but that doesn't mean that particular ecosystem is somehow better than other possibilities. It's more true that competition is just a fact of life rather than that we know it to be good or bad. There are tons of cases where reduced competition and increased cooperation can provide more progress.

What to Do When Things Get Complicated
I have started companies 15+ years ago that I sold which still use (a lot of) the same code. You think (I thought) that would never happen but I think this idea that every company rewrites everything is not all that common. Banks don't, but the small startups I work with don't either. Frontends get redone, there is refactoring and library updates but most (unless trivial tiny systems) just stays the same. You need to think that they run a business and that business is not software development usually. So if there is not a pressing reason to replace things, why would they allocate money for that?
May I ask what your experience of statically-typed languages has been? I find that most people have had a common experience where they didn't get to work in tandem with a fast compiler and a succinct language which inferred most or all types for them, and so their perceptions are coloured by that.
I thought FPGAs had a limited number of updates, enough to preclude this level of dynamism?
While I stream a lot, I also like to buy vinyl records.

I love the physical act of putting on a record, sitting back, and listening to the whole album. The fact that I can't skip a track makes for much better deep listening.

I like streaming for discovering new music. There's no Spotify in my country, but Google Music is pretty good (and extremely cheap - it's like $1.5/month).

Surprisingly, the best new music I've discovered has been through YouTube recommendations. Never would I have imagined that my favorite new song would be from a Thai-English band

The margins on retail goods are tiny. If your local shop loses 20% of its business to a competitor it closes (or pivots). This isn't about whether or not you shop on Amazon; it's about whether or not you have any choice if enough other people shop there.
Not really. FPGAs tend to be accompanied by a flash memory storing the firmware, which of course has limited erase cycles, but you can also upload the firmware through other means.
Were you open from the start that you didn't look for employment?
Simple as in easy to understand, yes. But probably more expensive. An mp3 player doesn't cost much.
No - openwhisk is a managed service on IBM bluemix. It's one of the few services of theirs I'd recommend over aws

Yes, these weapons are for killing. Using a firearm for home defense is socially accepted. This is exactly what makes it tricky to ban "mass murder" weapons while keeping "justified homicide" weapons legal.
All sorts. As my first lawyer pointed out to me, just because you will probably win a suit eventually doesn't mean that you'll enjoy the long process or be happy about the money you're spending. If you can even afford to spend it.

Listen, the science presented is better than no science. I think you are conflating published peer reviewed articles with the incentives of Academic Institutions, Journals and publishing houses. In my view it's unfair to let the scientists be the antagonist in this debate.
Well - isn't this technically a bug in your lambda? If this were running on a traditional server managed by you, it might still do bad things to your service.

A compressed sensing perspective of hippocampal function (2014): Hippocampus is one of the most important information processing units in the brain. Input from the cortex passes through convergent axon pathways to the downstream hippocampal subregions and, after being appropriately processed, is fanned out back to the cortex. Here, we review evidence of the hypothesis that information flow and processing in the hippocampus complies with the principles of Compressed Sensing (CS). The CS theory comprises a mathematical framework that describes how and under which conditions, restricted sampling of information (data set) can lead to condensed, yet concise, forms of the initial, subsampled information entity (i.e., of the original data set). In this work, hippocampus related regions and their respective circuitry are presented as a CS-based system whose different components collaborate to realize efficient memory encoding and decoding processes. This proposition introduces a unifying mathematical framework for hippocampal function and opens new avenues for exploring coding and decoding strategies in the brain.

I don't think OP's post is as hyperbolic as you characterize it.

The press release makes it clear that there was a major production bottleneck. Will it get fixed? Very likely. But as of today, they've got a serious problem.

Absent more data, I think the OP's guesses are plausible and not malicious.
No, I’m pretty sure there’s a pretty large body of academic and industrial research on proving program correctness that you can’t just hand wave away with sophistic “but what if your type signature is wrong” nonsense. And there’s a huge difference between a test and a proof - a test can only tell you a program doesn’t do what you think it should for a particular case, a proof tells you that your program does exactly what it is supposed to.
It's not a "story" -- it's an investor relations press release.
To be fair, I don't see heaps of albums lately that're composed/curated into specific orders of their songs - which might not be true, it might just reflect that I used to listen to a lot more of "that sort of music".

You don't just listen to a single Pink Floyd song in isolation - or you can, but you'll miss out on it's context which might be fine for Great Gig In The Sky, but many of their songs loose heaps of the "art" in isolation. Same with Yes, old (Peter Gabriel) Genesis, King Crimson, Rush even some less "prog rock" groups like Supertramp and Queen had albums that mostly told stories - Meatloaf as the canonical classic example I guess.

I think the only thing I've listened to recently that had an "obvious order required to "get it" is Petrified Forest by Biosphere. I don't hear or notice artists doing that so much these days.

I kinda feel like "an album" is gonna end up a strange relic of the '70s through maybe the 90s from a future music historian point of view...
Does the report mention how they determined this? Was there monitoring software installed on the laptop, or is this part of standard macOS logs?
For clarity (I know you know what a rune is but your description felt a little misleading imo):

A rune is just an alias for int32. But it's context usually means unicode chars which are indeed multi-byte.

You can still use byte arrays (or "slice" if you're writing idiomatic Go, but that's another tangent again) too though.

Also "byte" in Go is another alias, but for int8. But that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone :)
ticketing companies should investigate block-chain ledgers for effective fraud control.
Isn't that even more damning, if they use it for everything and it's still riddled with issues?

At the very least it implies that they're naively unaware of a lot of their user stories.
