In the opposite direction, the main thing I miss in kotlin is Java's package-private. Kotlin's internal is not really a replacement since it operates at the module level which makes it more useful for library developers. Kotlin's strict rules about not allowing tighter scope in the constructor of a looser scoped class breaks my Dependency Injection pattern of injecting package-private classes into the one public class in a package. Basically everything in kotlin ends up being public.
"Where will the next great programming language come from?"

Interestingly Scala has come from Academia, Industry, and Hobbyists. And for me it's already the next great programming language. Yeah, it has some warts and is hard to learn but that's true of all great things. :)
Not that questioning this premise should expect to surface an answer to any of these questions but...

Would such a joke's lineage be perceptible or readily recognizable?

Would anyone notice or remember who made the last/next iteration of the joke, to continue the tradition?

Who defines the canonical serial sequence for this chain of jokes?

How many generations is a joke like this worth?

Would the continuation of such a joke actually be funny in the first place?

Was it ever truly funny at all?

It's funny, this article starts with my least favorite features of Kotlin - ones that save a few keystrokes, but at the expense of readability.

And then it fails to mention so much of the very best stuff in Kotlin: Extension methods (No, Java 8's default methods are not a substitute.), unifying the type system, covariance and contravariance instead of those wacky wildcards, kicking checked exceptions to the curb. . .
But I don't know where you'd get that source code from at runtime though? I'm sure there are languages that contain enough runtime information, but, as an pertinent example, there isn't a way to tell that you have an object with certain fields in OCaml at runtime. It's just a block at runtime. All of the names are gone, as they were only used at compile time.

A lot of the stuff early Superman did also wouldn't fly today. In many of those 30's and 40's comics, he has a habit of simplistic "might makes right" behaviors like clobbering low-level villains or simply threatening to kill or endanger them(e.g. "I'll drop you out this window -- now TALK!") in order to extract a confession in the next panel and move along the plot, and the narrative does nothing to critique his application of violence or suggest it's anything less than heroic and justified.

Here's a thread with some examples:

I think, the main effect of sexual reproduction is that, much like GANs and competitive self-play, it creates species-internal competition: Both sexes need to impress, which makes cheating an obvious strategy (makeup, steroids, Shakespeare quotes, LISP etc., but many such examples can be found in the animal world), and hence both sexes also need to be able to detect cheating. Some species are rather asymmetric in that regard. For example, in humans it is mainly women who attract (they masquerade as fruits [make up is likely a cross-cultural phenomenon; and, well, breasts] tapping into male food gathering circuitry); men compete in hierarchies trying to impress and women select men from the top of the hierarchy. Complex dynamics emerging from this likely lead to the immense growth of the human cortex.

Sexual reproduction basically outsources some of the selection effort to the cognitive apparatus of the species itself, thereby introducing a massive amount of additional selection signals (mainly by the much increased necessity to model other minds, namely minds of the opposite sex). Many of these signals promote traits that are useful for survival (mainly intelligence and health).

This is a great paper.. the perturbation map is very reminiscent of psychedelic imagery

Psychedelics come up a lot with nn created images, but this is interesting that under the influence of a perturbation suddenly the classifier starts presenting illogical assumptions

Also similar to how people recollect their own classifiers unfolding or showing bias when considered under the influence of psychedelics

Perhaps there is some deeper analogue with a substance influenced brain's neuronal activity
Ah!, I think I understand what you are saying. I'm not sure if you used a NN before but you will notice that there is an exponential relationship with the number of inputs and the size of the training set required. Because I don't have millions of perfect training data I need to break down the problem and make ML models to deal with specific problems. For example predicting if a drum beat is compatible with a bassline etc.

> But maybe lemmatization would be better than stemming

You're right, I'm using "stemming" and "lemmatization" interchangeably where I shouldn't. What I mean is lemmatization.

> It is also possible that it is an unnecessary step for clustered word vectors for your use case

I don't focus on a specific use case, I'm just trying to find a way to enable full-text search for Hebrew. Searching based on concept similarity is a very cool addition, though, and I do have some use cases in mind for it specifically. But I'm just thinking what a typical cluster would look like, and I imagine 99.9% of it will be different forms of the same handful of base forms. Furthermore, telling Lucene to match based on all these forms will inevitably create a large number of false positives due to the aforementioned abundance of homonyms. So I can see a clear problem here even now. That's why I keep reiterating my original question of whether this system can first be used for lemmatizing and then everything else.
Personally I find the "using" syntax ugly especially with many variables and as you mention it relies on the caller to do the right thing. It would be better if the author of the class could control the behavior better.

It cannot. The syntax bloat forces structural cleanliness.
A lower level problem is addressed with a higher level fix. It would be better of course to not have bloated syntax, but not at the cost of better program logic.

As for tedium: Java programmers rely heavily on IDEs to "write" most of the boilerplate for them. The IDE fills in tokens automatically, and hides them visually with +/- boxes to the side.

> evolution of evolvability and then a seemingly unrelated subject: the evolution of robustness.

Isn't evolvability only about robustness? What other criteria would improve evolution? Mutations just happen, so the question is how well the phenotype can deal with these mutations. If it can incorporate mutations well, it can tunnel to different useful phenotypes and therefore is robust.
For such simple application all you need is LISP implementation.

1. Package manager is not required.
2. Framework is not required, that is simple application, you can have running as CGI under any server.
3. Storage database? Just use the LISP date stored in files, and you can even keep username/password there.
Cryptocurrencies are different because they allow the average investor to get involved in early stage high growth potential asset, which was traditionally limited only to VC's and other accredited investors. This is why they are much likely to move in bursts as opposed to late stage stocks. Each burst can be seen as an equivalent as achieving a new series of financing in VC
Also the language was named after a fungus :-D
Take a look at the markets, many cryptocurrencies have corrected hard in the past couple of months. Many trade 50% below their peak price (ratio to BTC not USD) right now. Cryptocurrency markets are ruthlessly efficient
You make a very good point. However, in this case there is very strong evidence that Facebook is also listening to the microphone.

Coincidentally, I recently had a friend convey a story where the Facebook app suddenly recommended a new connection immediately after certain information was spoken in a verbal conversation. This instance was particularly damning because, due to the sensitivity of the information that was spoken, it had been very carefully kept out of the digital footprint.
First job out of college and I hate it
So I just graduated college in May with a degree in accounting. About a month ago I got a job at a local accounting firm. So far, I hate it. Ive realized that accounting is just not for me. As a former college athlete at a D1 school, I was never really fully invested in accounting because of my workload with my sport. Because of this, I am not nearly qualified as well as dont have the knowledge that everyone else there has. One of the partners is really strict and expects me to know everything (considering the fact this is my first job ever let alone in accounting). I often times feel like a complete idiot and am honestly the dumbest one there even though I am doing work that everyone else is doing despite them being there for a couple years. I honestly hate it and dont how what to do about it. I try my best by it just isn't enough. What should I do? Anything helps
TLDR
The future of programming languages should involve not naming your language "Coq". I know I am going through the lowest common denominator, but how do you explain to your boss that you're proficient with using Coq. Ugh. Or professor, since apparently it's a proofing language for academia.
To your second point, giving this information leaks too much about the user trying to create a password.

I go to a site and try to register an account. The app says, “sorry, you can’t use that password because it’s been used with this username before and has been compromised.” Your attacker now knows that the user is in a compromised list.

You can’t do this without leaking information about the user.

If you compare to a global list instead of the user, then you’ve leaked the opposite information. That at least one user is on some list of compromised passwords.

You can’t do that without leaking information about at least one user.

And, as discussed, exponential fall-off doesn’t work in the world of distributed attacks.

That’s my response to point two in a nutshell. But I’ll add that the application layer should have no knowledge of the plain-text password to begin with. The password should be hashed on the client side before being sent to the application layer. Then salted and hashed and stored in the database.

The double hashing doesn’t get you anything in crypto terms as far as I know, but it means that if your application leaks or the network between the front and back end is MITMd, then you are leaking hashes and not plain text.

Of course, if the network between your front and back ends is compromised, you fucked up pretty bad anyway. But it adds at least a little effort for the attacker instead of allowing them to just grab username and password pairs in plain text.

I also salt + hash usernames in transit, so it’s not immediately obvious who is associated with what.

That gets me to your first point.

You are correct that doing all of this doesn’t protect any individual user from illicit access, and I should have been more clear about my concerns. If an individual user chooses to reuse passwords, their account can be compromised. You are 100% correct about that.

But in the case of a data breach, which is what I was thinking of in terms of “preotection”, it’s going to be really hard to compromise a collection of salted, hashed username/password combos.

In my opinion—again, I’m not a security expert, and I welcome criticisms such as yours—I don’t think we’re going to get people to stop reusing passwords. And I don’t think we’re going to get people to use multi-auth any time soon.

I think this is the best we can do until someone comes up with a way to get per-device key pairs to work in a friendly way.

Thanks for your thoughts and criticisms and questions.

you can go to the samples... but you will quickly notice a lot of the samples are canvas orineted things, because Fable gets to be in control to do things F# like. There's a vue and react example, but the code doesn't show any real advantage. Very little examples of typical web pages.... just a link to fable-elmish..... so... you may as well use elm. This is a common problem for F# in general, it hasn't really carved a slice of a world where it dominates. It's a nice language, but hard to make it a first choice.

Though one area I think it's quite nice is parsing, I like FParsec

It's actually quite easy to generate polyphonic (classical style) music with an RNN: just predict the entire note frequency range of one time step as a binary encoded vector. But yes, I can see how for multiple instruments, the sparsity of inputs might require more training samples.

I'm wondering if the "layered" approach has some advantages, perhaps more control over some aspects of the music?
There's a huge advantage to having language level support for null safety. Annotations are just metadata, and managing semantics of that metadata is pushed to the programmer: to configure a static analyzer to act on them, to figure out the differences between different backends, make sure it's enabled in the build, write/install IDE plugins, etc. Language level support for this stuff means programmers don't have to worry about any of that.

Pragmatics of course necessitate that we sometimes need to tack these static analyzers on after the fact. But over time, the amount of tack ons and bandaids and unnecessary backwards-compatibility-necessitated complexity becomes so high that you're better off using a better language, if you and your team can handle it. For many people, this has already happened with Java. I kind of wish Java the language would just die already and stop adding just enough features to keep people from moving on to the next generation of languages. Science progresses one death at a time.
However, it is still a new programming language. As well as golang. This has its pros and cons.

However, in cases where people say that some language is bad, it means that it simply does not fit their tasks.
