I'm kind of fascinated by any type of accelerator chip for some reason - I think it has something to do with the design of the computers I had when I was a kid i.e. Spectrum, Amiga etc which had dedicated chips for particular facets of the functioning that became iconic. I would love to do something with FPGAs and am certain their potential is massive, but struggle to come up with a use case that seems in any way novel, and I don't really want to just build my own VGA controller, get bored, and stop there!
Still; assuming you can get good, real-time estimates of mass, rough shape, position and velocity vector of each of the ships around you, making a system to compute probable collisions sounds like a small undergrad-level project at best. What are the obvious things I'm missing here?
Soft typing could be characterised by having the compiler do static type analysis where it can, but leave the type analysis to the runtime when it can't.

A simple example of this is a list. Now in statically typed languages, list are homogeneous (this is includes type unions). In dynamically typed languages, list can be heterogeneous, essentially anything can be added at runtime.

In soft typing, we can indicate that a list is homogeneous and the compiler will ensure that this is true or we can specify no type checking (as such) and this will be done at runtime.

Contrived yes, but I regularly use other aggregates (tables and sets) into which I do not want them to homogeneous.

One of the aspects that I like about functional languages is the polymorphism available, but in all that I have come across, there is no way to make a tree or list heterogeneous without declaring union types before hand.

My problem with C#, C++, Java, and their ilk, is that code is multiplied with their generics.

How the IDE and compiler and type systems interact is a design function and is not inherent to any type system.

One of the reasons I don't use specific main stream languages such as C#, C++ or JAVA is that they don't provide the specific programming features that I desire.

I have looked at Go, Swift and Rust and I am not at all impressed by the "relative stupidities" within those languages. For other programmers, what they consider to "relative stupidities" is entirely up to their experience and outlook.

That's not quite true. With DynamoDB, you provision capacity, so by default, it will simply get slow (throttled) if you use more than you expect.

The only way you could be "surprised" with a $10k bill is if you set up autoscaling for it with your upper limits (which it requires you to choose) high enough to reach $10k. And then you'd have to forget that you did that.
Terraform is a great name, though, because it describes, through metaphor, what it actually does.
I don't know. In principle, as has been said many times, having Facebook or another established social network provider decide what can and cannot be published online is of course not a solution, and non-constitutional. At least Facebook should be required to list, in detail, which accounts and posts were removed, so that there's a chance to appeal Fb's ban.

In Germany in particular (but I guess it's no different elsewhere) you get very different opinions on the results of the elections. The AfD party is portrayed by mainstream media as a right-wing and national-populist party; AfD voters will say it's an anti-establishment party, and a necessity when the big parties have almost indistinguishable views on eg. EU.
Is it though? Upward mobility is a long-term trajectory. Sustaining a profitable career for 10, 20, 30+ years even as an independent software contractor is extremely difficult (especially as the market floods with competition). I think most devs who jump into the freelance world only see the short term hourly wage and miss the risks/opportunity costs involved with running a business. Those risks and opportunity costs will manifest themselves in the future.
Maybe my example was contrived, but my main argument was that p-values represent P(D|H), or probability seeing your data conditioned on assuming that the hypothesis is correct, and that approach seems inherently flawed to me. If you're doing an experiment, p-values don't say anything about if the hypothesis is true or false, in fact the approach can't theoretically give that information. If you're doing a basic t-test, it goes something like this:

1. You have a null hypothesis you assume to be true

2. Based on this null hypothesis and the central limit theorem, if you theoretically conduct many experiments you expect some summary statistic to have a specific distribution around the 'true' population summary statistic and 'true' population variance, which you don't have so you assume it to be the null hypothesis

3. You compare your experiment's summary statistic to the hypothesized distribution. If the probability of seeing your summary statistic is below some threshold, you say it's unlikely to see this summary statistic again.

But the probability of seeing that summary statistic again actually depends on P(H), which NHST doesn't provide any information on. My examples were meant to highlight the nature of conditional probabilities, rather than how real life experiments are conducted.
it's time we admitted bad code isn't because of the tools we use but a function of how we write code. You can write bad code even in "safe" languages. Leak memory with languages that come with a GC, etc etc.

They can communicate physically though.

The conscious part of the brain could be completely oblivious to these subtle physical channels.

Jobs had leverage in the form a long-running lawsuit that he agreed to drop in exchange for the investment:

"In a remarkable feat of negotiating legerdemain, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs got needed cash — in return for non-voting shares — and an assurance that Microsoft would support Office for the Mac for five years. Apple agreed to drop a long-running lawsuit in which they alleged Microsoft copied the look and feel of the Mac OS for Windows and to make Internet Explorer the default browser on its computers — but not the only choice."

No, Rust is not safe.
From the 3 fundamental safeties: memory, concurrency and types, Rust only provides type safety.
Ahem. Liberal here working on such a system (in concept anyway).

I don't understand your comment about "greed."

Some people decide to buy, at say $54 in 2004. Others avoided the temptation for "greed," and decided not to buy.

This is exactly how it is done on iOS too from iOS 7/8. You don't need a Developer Account anymore to put your own apps on your own phone. You need a Dev. Account only if you want to push the app on App Store.
I've been thinking of something similar recently - to extend your idea slightly, why couldn't the flashing of the FPGA happen per tick? Thus at every tick your FPGA could become entirely different hardware, tailored to whatever task is required at that tick.
I've done contracting in Australia, UK and The Netherlands.

Australia and EU are great for contracting.

There are some really well paid London software engineering contracts (often paying higher than EU ones) but most are for big finance firms and they often want people to have a finance background so it's harder to get in.
Also from my experience, UK contract recruiters tend to be more picky about having an exact technical skill match.

Australian contracts are the easiest to get. Some pay ridiculously well.
I did an indefinite rolling contract that paid the AUD equivalent of USD $650 per day, $13K per month.
It wasn't particularly challenging either.

I later travelled to other countries where software engineers were treated like factory workers so the country definitely matters.

It's companies fighting other companies for the mindshare of the public and profits. Your modern day "journalist" has no convictions anymore, they weave whatever tale their editors want to tell, whether it's true or not. This is our dire future, and I don't see a way out of it.
Rust is the ugliest, least palatable, alternative to C for me.
Seems like they said "Let's chain function calls together like java(script) as the preferred expression and throw in lispy looking declarations and logic constructs. When people get frustrated with our safety paradigm there will always be unsafe..for experts."
Thank you for the clarification. Your explanation will be helpful to people. I wasn't planning on going into that technical detail, I was focused more on typical usage.
Original poster here.

As someone else suggested in this thread, we do get a pretty incredible volume of applicants. If it's clear from the resume that it's not a match, we generally don't contact the applicant. In an ideal world we would prefer to get back to each person who submits a resume - but the volume is such that we have decided not to do that.

However, we do carefully read every application. And once we engage with an applicant, we always respond and we respond promptly.

Give them a break. It's a pop science article. Such articles can describe 1.5 concepts at most, so having used that budget on p-values, it's not available for Bayes, so explaining the concept from a frequentist perspective is reasonable.

Also Bayesian analysis (as a mainstream stats technique) is relatively new as it has only become mainstream with the advent of cheap computing power.

Aren't you basically foursquare but for health? Just taking a bunch of data, repackaging and reselling it to the health industry. I went to your site and I don't see anything besides "we take a bunch of data and apply machine learning" and other fluffy writing. It reads like snake oil.

I think that's an egregiously one-sided view of 'the church', and I'm saying that as an ex-religious person with both a friend and family that have suffered severely from sexual abuse (church in the former case).

There's a lot to criticize about churches, but having lived and breathed church life until my mid-twenties, there's also a lot to admire. A lot that I would argue we have not found a good replacement for in our secular environments, which sort of pains me to admit because I'd rather not find some vaguely liberal church environment one day.

That said, I don't mourn the fact that the power of the church has waned significantly. I think church, or at least Christianity, works best in an underdog position.

As a contract worker it's unlikely you move up thru the organization you've been placed with. You may move up the org of the company who you contract with but your best bet is to opt for the trigger strategy and hop from one job to another with the accrued expertise, of there is expertise you can leverage. If it's repetitive stuff, then, there is little leverage and the best bet might be in moving to the management track.

It seems that for some reasons secession, sedicion and treason are close concepts in the common law of many countries. On the other hand, let's not pretend to assert that nobody was ever wounded, raped or murdered in an independence war, please.

The question is that in our democracy some themes are deemed illegal, and any web promoting them can be closed anytime and everytime, because this is how our laws work.

Spain has the fortune of being a melting pot of races and cultures in Europe. By our situation and history we have strong natural bonds with America, Europe and Africa. We have also suffered civil wars and dictatures and hate speech is seen as an specially disgusting thing by most spaniards. We know how this always end.

So, could be seen as "unjustifiable censorship" to close a web hypothetically hosting declarations like that?

The Andalusian has been hungry for hundreds of years and lives in a state of ignorance and cultural, spiritual and mental misery. (Jordi Pujol, ex-president of Catalonia and founder of the party currently in power, under a new name)

I have an clear opinion about that (this disgusting thing would be better closed for good ASAP), but let the judges clear if those webs were promoting hate speech and harassment towards more than half of the Catalonian people (not to mention the rest of spaniards), or not.
You most certainly can if you are looking at them from a pure investment prospective.
C was the first language I learned in the mid-90s and I still go back to it once and a while when I want raw speed and direct memory access. I know other languages, sure, but I have yet to find a suitable replacement that lets me do what I want to do on a machine level without getting in the way.

Lately I've been doing some of the stuff I would normally do in C in GoLang instead. But it still can't match C in performance. (beats the hell out of Node.js though which is where I do most of my middle-tier / front-end code)

It also makes an excellent foot gun for the same reason.
Actually ReLU(x) = max(x,0) can be thought after a change of parameters as the firing rate response of a leaky integrate and fire neuron at least for a certain range of parameters. So it is not completely far fetched, but of course nature does not use rate coding exclusively.
I've tried (and failed) to delete my Facebook a couple times in the past, so this most recent go, when I quit using Facebook, I just quit using Facebook -- I uninstalled the apps from my phone, and mapped 'facebook.com' to localhost in my /etc/hosts files.

The result was... amusing. Facebook kept emailing me the "Hey, did you see what so and so posted?" emails, knowing full well that I didn't see them. But then, after that, I started getting weekly reminders that "You haven't updated your timeline in a week". Facebook, ever the clingy ex-girlfriend it is, seemed to start amping up the frequency of the emails the more I neglected them, so I started just marking them as spam.

Two blissful days went by in which Facebook wasn't a distraction, but then they shifted from email to SMS which, as an Android/Hangouts user, was even more annoying, since now I have to engage in multiple steps to delete.

They really, really want me to use their service.
Integration Works – Of course it does
I'm also excited for Spanner and Cockroach, but even at a high level, DynamoDB is essentially requiring you to design how you're storing your data based on how you will access it, how it will be sharded, and how it will be pruned. That makes a lot of use cases tricky, but the end result is that if you design right, it will scale linearly quite well.

It feels like using a relational model (with SQL) is fundamentally different in that you're designing how you're storing your data based on how it relates to other data. It's certainly a whole lot easier to design for, but it makes me wonder if it is possible to close that gap in terms of "easy to design / SQL / vertically scalable" and "serverless / cheap / horizontally scalable".
