Perl6 in its spec has auto-parallelization of at least the hyperoperators. It has hyperoperators themselves. It has full LL and LR grammars as part of the language. It has optional strong typing for support of incrementally typing your source. It has junctions. It has a native MOP. It has active metadata on all data types (values, variables, subroutines, and types themselves).

Beyond what might be purely PL research, there are some other neat ideas being explored. It does function currying, lazy evaluation, grapheme-level Unicode support, and custom operators from any Unicode grapheme.

It's definitely a language I'd be watching if I was writing about near-future languages.
An Unusually Candid VC Explains Why VCs Are a Bad Idea
I think AWS is probably the place to be Amazon. The whole idea of the cloud is that everything gets automated so good and clean engineering will be rewarded. I think working on the Amazon e-commerce is much less fun because it's much messier to deal with issues like customer support, taxes and other stuff.

Right, but I find these demos interesting nonetheless - in that they reveal capabilities of HTML + CSS that, as a casual frontend developer, you wouldn't normally think of them as having.
When joining an opensource project, there is a license and you - as contributor - are transferring the IP ownership from you to the project through the license agreement.
Following that, you can kick off anyone at any time from a project. However, that someone can fork the project and continue on his own. Even in for-profit projects, this happen: see the Arduino's drama as an example.

If you and I have started a project together, and I haven't signed an IP ownership transfer (to you, the project, the company) - I am entitled to the full ownership of the intellectual rights of my work. Regardless if I get paid or not (even when I get paid, every company will ask you to sign a separate agreement where you transfer ownership of produced IP). So if I get "fired" - and I haven't signed any agreement - you are in trouble. Because from now on, /your/ project IP will always have the legal liability that at some point I can come back and claim it's mine. See Facebook and many other cases, where they worked on a project without clear initial paperwork - it's a very expensive mistake.
Sure, but there's no reliable way to determine of someone is a real and qualified voter in the precinct they voted. That's the whole problem.

Nobody is engaged in a conspiracy to vote hundreds of times, but are a lot of people voting in various technically illegal ways? Sure.

When you use a VPN service that supports openvpn, you:

a) Install OpenVPN yourself (open source)

b) Download an OpenVPN profile from the VPN company

c) Configure OpenVPN with the profile

Specifically, you don't have to install any binary software from the company itself.

I'm not buying it. IP is not limited to code.

"the team decides". That is not what happened. You decided.

The booth presence and the tickets are as much his as they are yours. If you decide to take them (and use them, give them away, or anything else) you are taking part of something that he has a right to.

Again, I do not justify his response (as he is not here for me to address), but what should he have done in light of someone denying him access to something that is rightfully his?

Just because you did not do your due diligence (because you didn't know that you should, or were inexperienced in hackathons, or whatever...) and you turned out to not like working with the other person, does not negate the work or award that the team accomplished together. Regret does not change anything.
Although simulations will predict good profits, you will probably lose your money doing this due to counterparty risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that, between the time you click the 'sell' button and the time you actually get the money deposited in your bank account a few days later, the exchange goes insolvent.

When a given coin trades at different prices on two exchanges (which is what these arbitrage algorithms look for), it will try to buy that currency on the cheap one and sell on the expensive one.

The main reason coins have different prices (more than a few cents) on different exchanges is that people are worried about the exchange being insolvent.

For instance, during MtGox's slide into doom, Bitcoin was cheap there. So this algorithm would have been busily buying Bitcoin with USD on MtGox, then transferring the Bitcoin to another exchange to sell, so it could pump the USD back into MtGox. Since withdrawals from MtGox were throttled, you would have built up a large balance there. When they shut down, you would have lost bigly.

People do make money doing arbitrage between exchanges, but you need a sophisticated model that considers counterparty risk, which isn't something you can read from a price sheet.

I put a 2nd router behind my regular router and switch the gateway, on devices I want to use the VPN, to this 2nd router.
Benefits:
1. allow devices to use non-vpn friendly sites
2. Keeps everyone on the same subnet so the VPN is not in the way for local file transfers.
3. main router not overburdened by VPN software

It may be expected but large numbers of people don't do it. The 20 min. thing is a bit odd but I can see how it could be a net positive.
Part that mirrors my own experience:

>Exposing someone with high anxiety sensitivity to the physiological symptoms they fear, such as rapid heartbeat, in the context of physical exercise increases their tolerance for such symptoms (McWilliams and Asmundson, 2001). This exposure reveals that the feared physiological sensations may be uncomfortable, but do not pose a serious threat (Ströhle et al., 2009). Repeated exposures through regular aerobic exercise may also facilitate habituation to the feared sensations (Beck and Shipherd, 1997).

When you feel a panic or anxiety attack coming on, your body is going to start feeling "off", and often this will be accompanied with a massive dump of adrenaline. At that point, your brain is looking for a way to justify why it is feeling super alert and anxious, and will do all kinds of shit to justify what is, at heart, a primarily physiological mechanism. If you only ever experience {sweat, heavy breathing, light-headedness, high heart-rate, energy dump, shakes} in the context of anxiety, any single one of those symptoms starts to pattern-match as "oh god here we go again".

By exercising, you show yourself those symptoms in a context that you have control over and you can (if this reasoning is sound) desensitize yourself to them. Additionally, if you find yourself having a state like this, hopping on a bicycle/going for a run/whatever can help both burn the energy/agitation and also satisfy the flight urge you might experience.

I am not a doctor, this was a way of dealing with a temporary spike in anxiety due to severe burnout, your mileage may vary, etc.
Yeah, I remember the outrage when the original Diebold hacking announcement was made in the Bush Jr era. The concerns in that were never addressed and doubtless things have simply since got worse.

Having done Amazon on-call for five years, I can give some background on that.

First, the front-line pager duty is usually hit by an ops eng team first. Each of those teams has an India group and an North America group. If they can't resolve the issue, they page in the developers. Having good Ops Eng guys supporting you is a blessing.

There's also a very strong incentive for teams to write good software and test before deploying when you know damn well that if you're deploying something that doesn't work, you're the guy who will have to deal with it at 3am. Having strong integration and system tests suddenly becomes incredibly important.

Edit: and as dsfyu404ed said, the Ops Eng guys will be smart enough to narrow down where the problem is usually. If you're being paged, it's usually your team's fault.

Just like in traditional markets there are all kinds of applications. Some devs might be building tools to assist human traders, some might be working on market making / liquidity providing, some might be working on execution algos for the various funds that have popped up. My ideal product is very different from someone else's, it just depends on what your business model is.

For the follow up question, I would suggest looking at the rise of automated trading in traditional markets. It is an overwhelmingly large % of trades and market activity these days, and I would call the largest financial markets in the world anything but stagnant.

The more players and liquidity in a market, the more efficient the price discovery can be, which I think would be a very good thing for the long term viability of crypto markets.

I guess to summarize, the crypto markets are not much different from traditional markets and getting more similar every day.

Yes.

Slack switching to something like Qt would (maybe) fix Slack, but then we would still have many slow Electron apps.
Well, that's where the second thing to look at comes in; how many sales the individual listing has. If more than a half-dozen people have bought it and it's still up, it's costly for the vendor to take the listing down and replace it when a 1-star rating is left.

Sometimes you gotta roll the dice, but yeah that is very risky with things like integrated circuits, or really anything more complex than discrete components.
Wasn't this how they caught the Silk Road guy? Ross Ulbricht? They played a loud noise from his computer in a public area, as I recall.

Amazon's policies mean nothing if they are not being enforced with sufficient rigor to deal with the problems the policy is meant to address.

They haven't been, aren't now, and it doesn't look like they will be.

Policies are just words without enough action to make them stick.
> the typical "retail" product results get mixed into the sketchy sellers

And sometimes in the same listing! Like some colors will be the regular retail version and other colors are from a different seller and either a no-name copy or a totally different year or model and price, and then the reviews are all but useless because you don't know which version they're referring to. Or what used to be a high quality product stops being for sale or stops being prime, and a different product gets merged with it and gets to start with 4 stars and hundreds of reviews.

There's definitely value in having access to cheap products, I guess I'm just surprised that Amazon has basically turned into Ebay rather than the other way around.
Citation? I cannot imagine that my years old Nexus 6 has a more recent display than the new iPhone X.
The poor follow the rich, buying what they buy, wanting what they want. The rich look to the richer similarly. At the top however there is no one to look to except for the gods.

Just as flowers demonstrate more value than a toaster precisely because it shows a willingness to convert all value into prostration, so does a golden tower.

Gold is valuable because it is rare and pretty and most importantly useless. (industrial applications are minor and also only a modern application) flowers to toasters are gold to oil. Gold is pure concentrated and destroyed value. It is giving up of true value in the survival sense for spiritual or emotional value. Super expensive clothes or bags are similar and even take it to the next level in that they decay via fashion trend. It is even more destruction of value.

Diamonds similarly are more concentrated representations of value despite their market price being a sham. They serve an important purpose in signalling to find a person or thing that can give a person affirmations of value.

Bitcoin and other digital currencies can concentrate to an infinite degree but lack aesthetic qualities. It doesn't impress women and doesn't impress our current gods because it isn't visible and can't be used as a status symbol to strangers. ("Traditionally" the "strangers" that can affirm value are women and gods. )

Bitcoin is accessed via knowledge of a key and it traditionally hasn't been a status symbol. (Unless it was knowledge of culture) However there is currently a paradigm shift from "traditional" values that are human/social/god based to newer values that revolve around knowledge, technology and non-human specific interestingness.

Bitcoins growth initially was due to the futurist/cypherpunk movement. Other phases of growth include "early adopters" or "technologists". A recent large push has come from financial types who don't want to miss out and have traditionally used market signals to follow value without needing to understand underlying reasons.

The biggest push will need to come from all the value locked up in traditional storage but to do that a paradigm shift needs to happen where gold becomes valueless. I don't know if Bitcoin can do this yet. Perhaps when smart contracts start taking over the world and blurs the line between digital and non-digital. Forks however seem to muddy the signalling potential though. The mass of people who understand what a "vintage" Bitcoin needs to be big and btc doesn't have the uniqeness of collectibles like art or antiques.

In the end it's important to distinguish between symbols of value which often require destruction of value in their creation and actual value which serves some secular need. Symbols are built entirely on faith. Strangely, this can last much longer than "real" value. Salt and grain used to be real value but aren't anymore due to technology but gold has lasted thousands of years.

To require something to need "real" value is to ignore the importance of humans.

It's made very clear in the article. That's the point of SW. It is voluntary. It's understood that you are sharing everything. Both ways.

I'm constantly surprised by the poor contextual quality of speech recognition. I think the basic audio recognition does well, but when there is ambiguity, it seems like systems that are popularly considered high-performing degrade drastically. For instance, I'm using Dragon NaturallySpeaking to dictate this right now, but if I say a certain punctuation mark at the end of a sentence, half the time it's going to say excavation mark!

Ditto with Google's Google Now assistant, or whatever the heck it's called these days. I have a Pixel 2 phone (Dragon heard "pixel to phone" -- it doesn't have up-to-date context on proper nouns in the news), but when I tried to create a calendar event using "Create calendar event... meet Bruno for pizza", it heard "MIT pronoun for pizza". It has hundreds of samples of my voice, and it already knew I was creating an event! "Meet" has to be one of the most common first words used in events.

It seems to me like there is pretty low hanging fruit, and that we need more focus on flexibility and resourcefulness rather than acting as though we're moving from 99.5% accuracy to 99.6%.
This is the result of years of study and experimentation and I really enjoy discussing its features so feel free to ask :)
I go into work every day. I wish I could work remotely. But I don't, because I find I hate every time I'm forced to interact with the people who do.

Your link says nothing that supports your claim. Drop shipping from China is a violation of the TOS. There's nothing more to add to that.

It's a lot of work to get these listing removed. The process is have the offending product sent to you, take photos, send the photos to Amazon. You can also hire and attorney to send a cease-and-desist notice, and you can also sue (if the company is based in the US).

If you are a large seller, then you have to do this for each and every product that is piggybacking on your listing.

Recently, Amazon added two things:

1- To list a product, you need a UPC.

2- You can restrict others from selling your brand.
Again, prove that you could do this on a scale large enough to actually affect an election without drawing any attention.
> I think it is sad that people, looking at these aging and unaudited C codebases, are thinking about rewriting them in Rust, when rewriting them in e.g. Python might make better sense.

I agree... apart from the Python bit. :) When deving software that is very big (LOC) or very widely distributed (FLOSS packages), then I prefer "well typed" languages that do not need a VM/interpreter.

Vega has half-precision floats as well though, which (with a seemingly negligible loss in precision) in combination with their HBCC (transparent main memory DMA) should more than make up for the lack of memory on the Vega 64, and in the case of Frontier Edition, all the more so.
Yes, people do. Here is one example.

Amazon on-call engineer here! I'm on-call for three rotations. Two are "Call leader" rotations where a call leader like me is engaged if there's any kind of large event (e.g. Amazon.com orders aren't working, or an AWS service is having issues). I volunteer for those because it's super rewarding to be able to help materially make a tangible difference now and then, wouldn't trade them away for anything. For those rotations, I am paged in the middle of the night, and there's nothing I can really do about that.

The other rotation is for one of my dev-team's software, and I'm hardly ever paged - like once or twice a year max. That's how it's supposed to be: by having skin in the game and being directly on the hook for the reliability of what we produce, I'm sure that we automate to a much greater degree than we might otherwise. We have a culture of strong ownership: it's not uncommon to see senior engineers elect to be engaged on all of their team's live issues, even if they aren't on-call themselves.

Some other teams make different trade-offs, and have follow-the-sun rotations or engagements that are more reliant on humans following run-books than automations. There can be a place for that, but it gets old quickly and is not scalable. Good teams will prioritize the work to get out of that above almost anything.
Again, proof. Show it, or stop disrespecting us by parroting the tired and debunked talking point.

> there's no reliable way to determine of someone is a real and qualified voter in the precinct they voted

Have you registered to vote in the United States? Records are corroborated.

Remember, voter rolls are public. My New York City record lists my name, address, party affiliation and voter district information. Anyone can challenge this based on public information, e.g. social media posts, court records, employment records, et cetera, or absolutely nothing.

In New York, you literally write a letter and the Board of Elections opens an investigation. Lots of people do this every year, and the problem isn't them finding anything useful. The problem is them (a) burning tax dollars and (b) knocking off the rolls those who forgot to report minor address changes, e.g. moving within the same building.

> a lot of people voting in various technically illegal ways

Many have looked for evidence of this. Zero has been found. It's a high-cost, low pay-off gamble. Will some people be idiots? Sure--there's a small handful every election. Is this even remotely of concern? Absolutely not.
