Correct: Perdue "makes" chicken.
This is not true at all. WebAssembly does not exist solely for performance. It exists because javascript is the sole ecosystem for web application development. By making WebAssembly a compile target we expand the universe of web development into something similar to Desktop development. Hopefully we can introduce the newer generation of developers into realizing how bad javascript really is as a programming language.
This guy is a WebComponents evangelist of some sort.

I don't understand why so many people sweat over libraries, frameworks, and which one is going to "win". Once you learn to program properly, choosing a framework becomes a non-issue.

The bigger problem right now is the tooling ecosystem (webpack, babel etc). It's too difficult to set up and customize, especially for beginners. The packages change too often and you run into bugs all the time. Sometimes I wish we had a dumb-ass GUI to set up all this stuff. Customizability comes with complexity I guess.

>"There is no convincing evidence that prior prescription opioid use caused subsequent heroin use. ... This is much like the argument, popular among drug warriors, that marijuana is a gateway drug because most users of hard drugs start with marijuana."

Except there are actually studies and data that do show a link between prior prescription opioid use amongst heroin users, along with a demographic shift:

And the second part of that comment "This is much like the argument, popular among drug warriors, that marijuana is a gateway drug ..." is a total strawman.

Yes it does seem like that, doesn't it? But Romans were particularly concerned about people shitting on their graves. If you start reading Roman epitaphs, they all universally seem to follow one particular format:

To the spirits of the departed, here is the grave of Publius Maximus, served in the Legions, who drank heartily every day of his life. Passersby, consider a moment this grave, but go on before too long, lest you shit here. This monument was put up by his dear brother Julius Maximus and measures ten feet at the front and twenty into the field.

They are literally all like that.
Sometimes buildings are named after folks just because they were awesome. Too bad it's not easy to distinguish between awesome people who had buildings named after them from the much less awesome people who essentially bought the naming rights to a building.

Correct, but it is more verbose and ugly to not use JSX. I guess the argument is you shouldn't be compiling things on the clients browser.
“It is every citizen’s final duty to go into the tanks and become one with all the people.”

Let's go into the Bundy case here. His family has had grazing rights over this land in Nevada for generations. Then in 1993 the federal government restricted access to much of that land to protect an endangered species. They seized the land but he refused to sell, continued grazing, and stopped paying his grazing fees. He could have challenged the seizure in court, but he did not. He could have kept paying his grazing fees, but instead he went to court and tried to argue he should be allowed to graze for free. When he lost, he continued grazing his cattle there and refused to pay for it, at which point the government took his grazing rights for lack of payment.

Whether or not grazing fees count as private property is actually irrelevant. He lost his grazing rights by refusing to pay for them. If he had kept paying, and actually challenged the seizure and sued, that would be an interesting case, but he did not.

There are interesting argument here, but Bundy is not the one making them. He doesn't even acknowledge the authority of the federal government, and instead fell into the crazy Sovereign citizen crowd.

(Also, even if grazing land is considered private property, the federal government could seize the land: https://www.fws.gov/refuges/realty/faq.html )

The best software can’t fix broken hardware.

Any phone above 4.5, maybe 5" device diagonal (not screen diagonal) is basically unusable single-handed.

And this means that on such devices, people interact entirely different with UI. Which results in different UI paradigms.

I’d have to either compromise my UI for users of smaller devices, or for users of larger devices. But in either case, users of larger devices will never get a truly awesome UI, as that’s simply not possible. (Either you waste space, or parts of the UI are just not reachable).
I agree, and I feel the same way about other public figures. Anytime I see a famous actor/actress that live a mostly private life, I immediately start thinking of them in a positive light.

Hm. How about ‘sudo’ <> ? i.e. quote the command?
6 to 8 week analysis goes through many steps on many machines. "How many cores" isn't directly comparable. All of our sold products target 6 to 8 weeks.

Think of it like an assembly line. How many robot arms does the assembly line need to produce something in 6 to 8 weeks? It depends on the type of object being produced; more intricate details, sizes, or etc might need to go through more robots, more arms. An assembly line for a complex item, such as a vehicle, doesn't put all of the materials in front of a single robot and give the robot more arms. It instead goes through many different robots with specialized purposes.

So if your factory produces many different things, but some of those specialized robots could be generalized again for multiple products so that you share those robots among things being produced, you might have one robot that spends 20% of its time producing a thousand of product A and 75% of its time producing a hundred of product B, and another 5% of its time in maintenance.

It's the same for DNA analysis; it goes through many different software steps, each with varying requirements of I/O throughput, CPU speeds, memory size, etc. Each individual step could be (and generally is) run on different machines with different resources suited to a particular step. Sometimes those steps can be shared among different products. But different products will take different amounts of time to work through the analysis.

The machines running our largest analysis steps have 88 cores and 512GiB of RAM. But number of cores is not indicative of why it takes 6 to 8 weeks to process.

I'd love to hear your feedback!
I can't agree more with you, I recently started a huge open source project and the choice of front-end framework was changed about halfway through. The issue was never learning and working with the front-end framework even with a change, it was always just getting webpack/gulp/vueify/sass/babel/whatever amalgamation of tools we were using to pre-compile and compress everything. Once that was all setup everything was smooth sailing even with no experience on the framework.

To this day we are still having some minor issues with our tooling/builds and some odd configuration that we don't know if it's our fault or just something everyone deals with. The framework itself works as intended and is a joy to work with.

Well that and don't get me started on Selenium testing...

I was onboarded in February for my first job. Here are my opinions.

It takes a long time to learn the architecture and patterns, but it's absolutely necessary. I suggest starting with an overview, then get them to add a new feature, whose complexity should depend on their skill. Then use code reviews to further educate. Then have them go from reading documentation to killing bugs to writing new features for a while until they have a good understanding of the entire app.

This may take several months. But everything you listed is important and will contribute to the new developer's knowledge. As long as they are guided well in what bugs and features to attack, it should be a great experience for them.

> Fiber has 0 calories, which implies people in the US in general barely eat fruit and vegetables

This is true. The vast majority of Americans do not eat sufficient fruit and vegetables. This 2015 CDC study [1] concluded that only 13.1% of the population consumes enough fruit, and only 8.9% eat enough veggies.

> It's quite silly to claim that 2000kcal of legume carbohydrate (more than 300 grams of carbs) will alter my hormones or metabolism in a negative way, so demonizing a macronutrient is bad science.

Nobody claims that. You obviously haven't read the article.

The excess of carbohydrates in today's diets doesn't come from fruit and vegetables (as [1] clearly shows), but from added sugar and refined grains. The article explains the critical role a chronically high level of insulin in the bloodstream plays in throwing the body's metabolic processes out of balance, leading to both obesity and type-2 diabetes.

I am the author and I do agree with what you are saying. Our story was different. I mentioned that one of the original sins of our company was how we budgeted solely into product development. The other original sin was that the idea for the company was ill conceived. We had been working on tech at another company why not release as stand alone product. The idea frankly wasn't that differentiated enough from other products out there. When you don't have a truly differentiated idea like the companies you brought up, then marketing becomes more and more important to get peoples attention. Part of what made the examples you brought up special is that what they were working was so unique. That differentiation/uniqueness makes it a lot easier to market (the virality piece is more likely). In our case because we didn't have that. The way to survive was that we had to fight it out bidding for ads on Google. I would not recommend that path for anyone. It was just the environment we were in. I would say even for those companies to focus on marketing will not be a disservice, but focus on the initial conception of the idea even more. It makes a world of difference in determining what kind of head winds you'll face.

I've been prescribed opiates twice in my life, once after wisdom teeth removal and once after breaking my ankle. I'm sure I counted in the 85 million figure for that year despite never actually taking the drugs, as the pain was not bad enough to merit them.

I wish doctors were less liberal about prescribing these serious drugs. It should be messaged as "If the pain is really unbearable, even with standard over-the-counter pain relievers, then consider a stronger alternative." Instead, it was more like "Oh you broke your ankle? Here's a prescription for strong drugs."

Breaking my ankle doesn't even crack my top five most painful moments of my life -- those are all related to the flu/norovirus/food poisoning.

People interested in mixing image processing, Python, and C code for high performance might also enjoy tinkering with a combination of Numpy and PyOpenCL. It gives you some powerful mechanisms to manipulate n-dimensional arrays and then offload some brute-force work to your GPU or multi-core CPU.

OpenCL is comparable to CUDA. It's essentially a C dialect with a lot of overlap to the OpenGL GLSL (shader language), with intrinsics for certain SIMD operations.

You write your outer data wrangling code in Python, and put your little OpenCL kernels into the program as multi-line strings, which get compiled at runtime into appropriate parallel processing routines which are dispatched by whichever OpenCL drivers you install. I've used my NVIDIA GPUs and Intel multi-core/SIMD CPUs to good effect.

This kind of parallel processing leads to turning your mind inside-out a little and using signal-processing techniques. You want think in terms of cooperative algorithms you can perform out of a large number of independent, localized operations rather than a single point of focus which sequentially wanders around a buffer.
Strictly, that is different. He was against parser directives. And offered a solution for the case I gave.

Very good idea, but the execution is horrible.

If you can’t usefully spend arbitrarily large amounts of money, it’s a creativity problem. Sure, if your only interests are eating and watching TV then a billion dollars isn’t going to do much for you.

The easy way to productively spend $X billion is to invest it in space/physics/medical research or development. If you need to blow a few hundred billion, you could launch an asteroid mining venture with a reasonable chance of turning that money into a few trillion and making space development vastly more affordable for the rest of humanity.
So, this is why humans hate AI!

It's weird to me that you're choosing Google Photos as your example, as that's one of my very favorite apps of all time. Possibly #1. It does its job amazingly well, it solves an important and hard problem that has bedeviled me for over a decade (photo storage/indexing/retrieval/querying across multiple devices), and it's slick.

Picasa and Flickr were more about photo sharing, and required way more involvement to use. Google Photos is about managing your collection of photos across all devices and the web, and it's amazing at it.

In order to replicate, a probe needs material from the star system it's visiting, stuff like iron and silicon. That process is likely to break down after so many journeys, so no more replicants. The probes would put their own AI into the child probes, including their own random defects. It would take a lot of trial and error, each trial being thousands of years, for the likely success of a single journey's replication to exceed the combined half lives of breakdowns and AI degeneration.

How did you create this account?

If you do it through the web interface (https://signup.live.com/) you used to get a vanilla MS account.

However if you create one through Windows 10 I guess you will also automatically be signed up for all included services, which includes Skype.

Also, one time it was possible to "unlink" Skype from your Microsoft account (which basically consists out of removing your information from the Skype Global Address Book) by contacting someone from the Skype support team. However since a few months they made this removal process a self-service feature which unfortunately includes closing the entire Microsoft account linked to Skype.

So your best bet is contacting a support rep from the Skype support team and ask for your details to be removed from the address book. If they can't do this anymore you are probably SOL.

Good luck!
