The State of Music Mid-Way Through 2017
Technically, this is a strong/weak type distinction. Dynamic but strongly typed languages like Julia and erlang can be quite performant when given strong fences around the types their functions are passed.
One of the key benefits of Intel's solution is that the CPU and FPGA share the same RAM, avoiding the O(N) cost of moving data to/from the devices. This type of a zero-copy transaction can enable very high performance applications compared with dedicated discrete cards.

A list zipper? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipper_(data_structure)
Promises (representing the result of a single asynchronous operation) and Observables (representing an ongoing stream of emitted values) aren't really equivalent. I know you can create an Observable from a Promise, which will emit a single value when that promise is fulfilled and then be marked as completed or closed - but this is more for integration - such as being able to combine inputs from single-shot async calls into broader observable operations. If your Promises are discrete async calls, I'm curious why you would want to convert them?

>Dynamo gets expensive and it gets expensive quick,

DynamoDB's pricing scales sublinearly with volume; if it starts getting expensive it was an initial misuse of DynamoDB that got obvious with scale. There are a lot of factors that go into whether you should use DynamoDB and how you implement it. I recommend anyone who is considering using it very carefully understand this page first: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developergu...
I think there is a challenge in applying current anti-trust laws to a company like Amazon because Amazon's reach is more wide than it is deep. AT&T owned almost the entire telecom network in the United States, Amazon doesn't have anywhere near that kind of influence in any of it's businesses. What Amazon does have is a significant presence in many different (competitive) businesses. I can't think of an example of antitrust being applied in a similar situation in the past but I could be missing something obvious.
> Also, "monitored" doesn't happen for free. In my state, Department of Corrections officers are paid very well and have far better pensions + benefits + work rules. Monitoring by prison officials is really expensive, especially with the ~2million prisoners we have/had.

And? That’s why we pay for prisons in the first place. With the same argument we could deny them the right to clothing. Not necessary, too expensive.

But prisons are (at least here in Europe) designed as facilities to rehabilitate the people, and that requires that they can have social contact directly or via telephone, for free; it requires that they can towards the end of their term slowly get more freedoms, and be integrated back into society over months.

Treating them as something where we have to save money at all costs is, IMO, the wrong approach.
> Why 5 years? Why not 4 or 6?

Maybe it can be 6 instead of 5. That's an unnecessary detail for you to obsess about at this point. Instead focus on the larger issue, which is that governments should force companies to give a much longer warranty period than the typical 1 year. That will make companies design for longevity, reducing costs for customers and environmental damage.
For statehood or even complete sovereignty and independence:

- People are US citizens, but can't vote in any national US election, except when they literally happen to be in any other state, then they can vote for President and that state's congressional representatives, and that state's local officials.

- The rationale for setting Puerto Rico's as a territory is prettttty racist by today's standards.

Against statehood:

- Federal money going yet somewhere else.

- Diluting representation in Congress.

- 51 though? yuck.
Some conservatives are concerned about liberal viewpoints on Facebook and consider it a conspiracy. Some liberals are concerned about conservative viewpoints on Facebook and consider it a conspiracy. Almost everyone is concerned about "trash" when it takes a viewpoint they oppose, less concerned about trash when it promotes a viewpoint they agree with.

Everyone thinks they know what "Fake News" is and most people who are vested think Google's algorithms should rank them higher and less deserving sites lower.

As with most human opinion it's a matter of self interest and so is the parent article. Stripped of the holier than thou mantel it's whining about page ranking. Common whine. Lots of us have it. But most of us aren't nasty enough to seize on tragedy in order to make the point. Which is just another piece of evidence about the nature of old media and why it shouldn't have a monopoly on information.

Personally I'm ok with semi-dumb pipes. I think in the aggregate it's better for all of us regardless of persuasion.
>When it comes to purveyors of physical goods, Amazon has the power to reshape the fabric of our streets and neighborhoods in ways few people can fathom.

They'll put a lot of people out of work, which is what proponents of basic income and automation have been warning us about for a while now.

In fact, we should want this, because an Amazon that can automate a large amount of its workforce will paint the clearest picture possible because of the perception and (frankly) importance of Amazon to the US economy.

> One way you could make this clearer is replacing the phrase "can be much more productive" with a more specific goal that's more obviously good.

I think that specifying a metric would dilute the message; replace it with whatever your goal is. Working at a startup may help you be more productive in achieving it simply because there are fewer people/processes to hinder you. Not everyone has the same goal, but being able to point to something useful and say "I did that" is meaningful to me.

There is no point in talking about the data if it doesn't tell you useful things about the population or type of thing you are studying, if it's not for building a predictive model of the subjects. This is the entire reason for research.

> The reason why those of us on this forum can tell the difference between good and bad information is because we received a good education and learned critical analysis skills.

We really need to stop congratulating ourselves on how smart we are and we would never fall for such blatant lies, because we are such highly-educated critical thinkers. There are a bunch of silly beliefs that we witness even amongst us like Steve Jobs wanting to cure cancer with unorthodox dietary changes, that having no gender parity in tech is both good and natural, or this medical doctor with a respected career who believes the earth is flat:

https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2017/03/the-men-who-believe-the-e...

We're all vulnerable to believe and defend the silliest things and then call ourselves critical thinkers while we do so. We can all be tricked. There are well-documented, effective methods to make us perceive and believe any number of things. Illusionists and magicians make a living out of doing this overtly; journalists and politicians do so less transparently.

Quite frankly, half the time I'm walking around slightly horrified that perhaps I'm believing and defending the stupidest lies and I think everyone else should feel the same way at least part of the time.

Evolution doesn't optimize for benefits to the individual. If it did, we'd all regenerate like salamanders.

That any sort of cell therapy or signaling change works at all to improve health is indicative that the standard issue biochemistry in mammals is suboptimal.

The risk from this sort of thing, like all efforts to change cell behavior towards greater tissue maintenance, is cancer. One of the most interesting aspects of the whole field of regenerative medicine is the degree to which cancer hasn't emerged, however. There seems to be considerable leeway for crude methods to improve regeneration to work without large increases in cancer risk.
> What is best from an ergonomics standpoint?

That's hard to say. I use Workman, because the focus on digraphs really meshed with me, and I like the feel of it.

It definitely took a solid effort to learn another layout, especially since I spent the time choosing a favorite. I feel like it's absolutely worth it, though.

I'm honestly not sure what to say to that, considering you will be very slow at the beginning. You may be able to keep using QWERTY at work, and practice a new layout in your free time, though.

Maybe part of the problem is I can't picture what you're actually talking about with soft typing. I can tell you C#/.NET has the DLR which allows you to do dynamic types whenever you want. Outside of a few gimmicks, you rarely see these used. I've rarely even seen them for quick prototyping, because generally you mess around with using them for prototying, then the first time they go bad, it's really obnoxious, and you realize you're compiling the code and writing function signatures anyway, might as well save the time later and do it right the first time.

Then there's the whole tooling aspect of trying to mix type systems. It's different lifestyles. Dynamic programmers aren't going to start compiling their code to run it, static programmers aren't going to switch to a language with weaker tooling around the IDE-ish features, which are mostly built on the type system.

My conclusion is this: New languages should all be statically typed, because we shouldn't need new languages at all. We should be fine. The reason we need new languages at all, is because the trifecta of C++/Java/C# basically encompassed the entire statically typed world, but they're all infected with this fully overblown OOP obsession, and the null pointer bug--which newer languages have fixed, through more static typing. Basically we need to replace those languages with similar ones and then just stop making languages for a few decades, until whatever we're doing now looks as dumb as OOP and null pointers. In the long run, Go/Swift/Kotlin/Rust will take over the statically typed world and it's going to be great.
The Alabama Court didn't say it was the end of the line, just thst, whether or not sovereign immunity applied, Alabama courts had no jurisdiction to address the case, because Alabama law would deny the plaintiff any basis for recovery since gambling is illegal.
I don't know why macro-based containers aren't more popular. You can have a quite usable interface, and even the implementation isn't that ugly. Example:

http://attractivechaos.github.io/klib/#Khash%3A%20generic%20...

This approach isn't just more strongly typed than using void * for everything, it's also typically more efficient. For an array, you can put larger structs directly in the array rather than being forced to use a pointer. For a hash table, the same applies, plus you can avoid expensive indirect calls to compute hashes. (There are alternative non-macro approaches that trade off that overhead for other types of overhead, but you can't do as well as with a specialized container.)

I guess you could ask, at that point why not just use C++? And a lot of people do, and the people left writing new C programs are often traditionalists who don't want to switch to new approaches. And to be fair, there are disadvantages to macro-based containers, like increasing build time. But I still think there's room for them to see more adoption.
Well, that’s an interesting question. If you’ve made a reasonable effort to pay, but have not found an option, some countries even allow you to copy without approval of the copyright owner, legally.

So this is a question that very much depends on ideology and jurisdiction. (I, personally, think that if I pay for Netflix and Amazon Prime, I have a moral right to any older content, and if I pay for a movie ticket for newer content that’s twice as expensive as a DVD of which the cinema gets less than 10%, I have a moral right to rewatch it)

Generally speaking, an unacceptable practice for a large chunk of professional industry beholden to requirements spec traceable to IPC standards.
No. Not at all. It has more to do with implementations.

Python is strongly typed, but dynamic. But slow. JavaScript and PHP are weakly typed and dynamic as they will coerce types in strange ways during operations and comparisons.

Lua is dynamically and strongly typed like Python, but LuaJIT can sometimes produce code on par with or even slightly faster than native code - because it's really JIT compiling the hot path to native code with some guards and offramps to interpreted code for special/unexpected cases.

But there are limits to those techniques and it's doubtful that dynamic languages will ever perform at the same level as static languages because the compiler simply has more information and doesn't have to be as pessimistic or insert as many runtime guards.

I see nothing disingenuous about it. I think it does a good job of capturing the idea that if they get too bureaucratic and set in their ways, that is what they will model and teach and it will undermine their goals by undermining new batches.

I homeschooled my sons. I talk to them a lot about such ideas. For example, we talk about how the subtext of a lot of games winds up being stereotypical corporate things like "I hate my boss" and "Life is a completely pointless pursuit of money." That tends to show through, no matter how hard they try to dress it up in wild fantasy settings.

You teach what you are. You can't really get away from that.
