> We are also a culture obsessed by image and impression. Look at the image at the top of this article. Images of futurist cities like this drive me nuts, am I looking at a pimped up motherboard or a city where people actually live? What if a sustainable and livable city doesn't look very exciting on picture?

Jane Jacobs addresses this topic at length in Chapter 19 of The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Here are the first few paragraphs (the whole book is a worthwhile read if you have the chance):

-

When we deal with cities we are dealing with life at its most complex and intense. Because this is so, there is a basic esthetic limitation on what can be done with cities. A city cannot be a work of art.

We need art, in the arrangements of cities as well as in the other realms of life, to help explain life to us, to show us meaning, to illuminate the relationship between the life that each of us embodies and the life outside us. We need art most, perhaps, to reassure us of our own humanity. However, although art and life are interwoven, they are not the same things. Confusion between them is, in part, why efforts at city design are so disappointing. It is important, in arriving at better design strategies and tactics, to clear up this confusion.

Art has its own peculiar forms of order, and they are rigorous. Artists, whatever their medium, make selections from the abounding materials of life, and organize these selections into works that are under the control of the artist. To be sure, the artist has a sense that the demands of the work (i.e., of the selections of material he has made) control him. The rather miraculous result of this process—if the selectivity, the organization and the control are consistent within themselves—can be art. But the essence of this process is disciplined, highly discriminatory selectivity from life. In relation to the inclusiveness and the literally endless intricacy of life, art is arbitrary, symbolic and abstracted. That is its value and the source of its own kind of order and coherence.

To approach a city, or even a city neighborhood, as if it were a larger architectural problem, capable of being given order by converting it into a disciplined work of art, is to make the mistake of attempting to substitute art for life.

The results of such profound confusion between art and life are neither life nor art. They are taxidermy. In its place, taxidermy can be a useful and decent craft. However, it goes too far when the specimens put on display are exhibitions of dead, stuffed cities.

It was super interesting to hear how React was moving from team to team internally before it was finally open sourced.
Eventually it will be, if they stop updating it. Atom and visual studio code are overtaking it.
However, with some modification and performance enhancement it may well be
possible to adjust the frequencies available to wireless routers and laptops
so the wider frequencies can be accessed. In fact with some expert programming
and enhancements the ‘X’ band is not out of reach.

In much the same way that "with some expert engineering and enhancements" the speed of sound is reachable with a standard car.

Not to say that it's impossible to use X band - packet radio enthusiasts have been using 10GHz links for decades. But expecting that "performance enhancement" is going to magically turn a highly-specialized 2.4/5GHz radio stack into one that works at 10GHz is some movie-style "ENHANCE" nonsense.
I read that book as well, it is great for motivation, but mathematically a little sloppy (otherwise you wouldn't come away from it thinking you don't need linear algebra...). It doesn't say so, but it first introduces the linear algebra you need to know: vector spaces, inner products, etc., but without rigorous proofs for basics.
Android is not open source in the same way that gcc is. Sure it uses an open source license, but it is fully controlled by google.
It wasn't that sacred when Obama turned off country of origin checks for donations, making it trivial for foreign agents to help fund his election.

I'm trying to narrow it down, but I'm pretty sure only about 5-15% of politics is principled, and the rest is mere rooting for one's own team regardless of their sins.

You could try gerrit + e.g. Jenkins. When pushing to review the CI can pick up the commit, build it and optionally run tests and give +1/-1 verified.

The commit is merged only after a developer will give +2 for the review.
But smile doesn't cost anything to the user. You pay the same checkout price for something you were already buying.
While I agree with the spirit of your post, starting with abstract algebra is probably too formal and abstract. The best way to learn something is by learning the concepts first and progressively formalizing, always with some link in the chain connecting back to tangible experience.

I would possibly throw this out as an interesting way to learn a bit (not really a whole lot, but a fun start) about abstract algebra: https://www.crypto101.io/
This strikes me as an attempt by the broadcasting industry to get into that cool internet stuff the kids are all talking about. I doubt it really means anything. Most of this stuff will be ignored.

The ultimate problem for advertising supported broadcast media is and has been for some time the DVR/PVR. There is nothing preventing people from recording ATSC 3 to a hard disk so this ultimately changes nothing important for the industry.
It's probably more active than some Linux kernel developers (those who don't work on the kernel exclusively), but the majority of Linux kernel developers are employed to do kernel work and so I don't see why there would be a difference in amount of code output by either sets of developers.
In related news, Germany's government, just like the U.S. government, seems to be pro-coal - so its image can't be that much better?

There is no software without bugs.

People seem to know that. Developers sometimes do not.
The costs don't hurt, because everyone's pay is good. (Example: Cleaning personnel and waiters make more after taxes than engineers in Germany...) and taxes are so much better than anywhere really. And you meet smart people mostly.
Parent is talking about different processes that produce photons: classical acceleration of charged particles vs particle-antiparticle annihilation.

You brought in a fact from general relativity which has no bearing on which processes are more common in the universe.

Of course you can always be pedantic and analyze problems at the wrong level. For example, you can say it's all the same QED vertex in the end.
You should read the whole text then.

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding out there what LA is. For example, LA certainly does not have to include the cross product. Just do introduce the basics of LA like vector spaces, linear mappings, bases, eigenvalues, singular value decomposition, etc. can easily take a semester to grasp properly (if you haven't had any exposure to that sort of thing before).
Why would you think that? Rationalization is one of the pillars of human behavior overall. The only difference I would readily admit is that smarter people are probably more mindful of their own rationalizing.
All software has bugs.

There is no such thing as finished software.

The size of a bug is in the eye of the beholder.

I taught English as a foreign language in Brazil for several years, and at the intermediate level students would begin writing essays.

At the advanced level, I would teach about run-on sentences and how they're bad, and the class would always become tremendously confused. Finally I talked to one of the Brazilian teachers, asking why run-on sentences were such a difficult concept for my students to get.

He explained that in Brazil, long, complex, strung-together sentences are considered good writing -- that the more work they are to put together, the smarter they show the writer is, and the fact that they take more work to read is the reader's problem, not the writer's! Simple, easily digestible sentences are the mark of an uneducated writer.

So if I ever turned in a paper with sentence structure like the introduction to the Declaration, I'd probably have points taken off here in the US, yet it would be fine writing in Brazil...
>But we are not living in 2000 BC anymore.

That's not really relevant. The idea of public space remains important.

>Public matters can be solved in distributed ways since the 1990s via public websites.

Seeing the other in a physical space is a whole different culture (and leads to whole other discussions and interactions) than merely exchanging messages in some forum.
>"We are a culture obsessed by the how, not the why. A picture of people walking or biking to work does not fit our idea of the "future" as well as one where we ride around in slick glass pods. We have grown custom to doing even the simplest things orders of magnitude less efficient than they need to be."

I disagree with this. Cities have been adding designated bike lanes for years now. And the growth in bike ridership in cities seems to have moved lock-step with this. Using NYC as an example:

https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2015/04/the-steady-ri...

So clearly a picture of people walking or biking has fit some city planner's idea of "future." The fact that bike lanes continue to be added seems to point to a recognition of their success and place in the future.

I think it would be more accurate to say that "A picture of people walking or biking to work" might not fit Google's or SV's idea of "the future" because it doesn't involve collecting data and selling advertising. For example NYC's DOT put is putting in the biking lanes. Google(via Sidewalk Labs) converted payphone kiosks ostensibly to provide free internet access. Google provides this in exchange for collecting data and displaying advertising.
I think I mentioned that before, Lucid as a company has never done anything with Lisp Machines. Their target market was Unix and various UNIX platforms. What they were famous for was Lucid CL as a very high quality implementation/compiler/runtime of Common Lisp for UNIX. They sold licenses to various companies (like IBM, DEC, SUN, ...), which sold it under their brand with their enhancements. Lucid CL was used for application delivery by commercial customers, because the compiler and runtime were fairly good.

The Lucid CL IDE wasn't THAT advanced. Fairly standard CL stuff.

Example: SUN sold Lucid CL as Sun Common Lisp and the IDE was called Symbolic Programming Environment:

http://3e8.org/pub/scheme/doc/lisp-pointers/v2i2/p5-endelman...

That's nice, but not too advanced and with a basic look&feel.

Lucid as a company failed, because the C++/Energize product failed in the market and it consumed all the money they had earned from milking their Lisp business, which itself was in a shrinking market.

And these overtly corrupt and overly powerful people exist within old democracies. You might have a nice and naive imagination of what democracy could be, but you shouldn't deny what it is RIGHT NOW.

>Maybe it works like that in Singapore. Personally, I think it's a pity. Ancient Greece was far from an utopia - even "enlighted" Athens used slave labor in nearby silver mines

Considering that the US didn't allow poor people to vote until the mid 19th century (which ancient Athens allowed), didn't allow blacks to vote until much later, and women to vote until 1920s, and it still had slavery until 1860s -- that is, 2 and a half millennia after those ancient Athenians, I'd say they were quite ahead of the time in their democracy.
I'm sorry, but do you think that a government's image depends only on its views on coal? How about respect for other countries and cultures, their values or their stability? There are many factors, and coal is only one of them.
I think the JVM itself will be Java's saving grace - languages like Scala and even Clojure now are gaining huge popularity that not only leverage the JVM and existing ecosystem but have the ability to rapidly advance and abandon Java's warts. So it's not like COBOL in that regard. Because of the power of the JVM ecosystem I think even Java's glacial pace of adopting new features will be enough to keep up for many years or even decades to come.
Thank you so much for this encouragement.

The whole music investigation was a side-project, compared to my main efforts on Pingtype (a Chinese learning site). https://pingtype.github.io

I got interested because my friends at the KHOP prayer room gave me the song sheets in PDF format. They have the chords written, and the key on the top right. I thought it would be interesting to figure out which songs go well together so I could make some playlists. Even though I can't play music, I listen a LOT - all day in the office, and while I bike to work.

The fact this side project got more upvotes than my language-learning interests, and your encouragement that the data might be useful, is a sign to me that I should keep on with this and maybe learn to play. There's a piano in the house I rent, but I don't know what to do with it. It seems like now might be a good time to start learning.

Ah, the Guardian article is missing a pretty important bit of information.

Germany is getting out of nuclear, under pressure by its populations that is heavily environmental. The irony being that to meet the electricity demand, they need all other sources - one of them being coal.

Germany CAN’T get out of certain energy sources quickly as the Greens have killed nuclear. Damned if you, damned if you don’t.

haha, often I think Germany isn't that good and I should move, but then I look at other countries and have the feeling it only could get worse...

Warmer weather, but the economy is worse or the other way around.
They also moved this timetable up a year due to high demand, meaning more CapEx required. A few months won't scare people in the know, and thinking this would work without a hitch would have been naive anyway.
This is a really long transcript but I found it very interesting. If you are just coming to the comments I encourage to read the whole thing to gain more insight as to why it's not just a great idea but also the people behind it that is necessary to make something become as popular as React.

Germany makes greats products. I really enjoy using my Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher (egg opener, or more literally, "egg shell pre-determined breaking point causer"), very precise.
Interesting. As the most die-hard German USA-fanboy one could have imagined, I can only say: since Trump, even I reconsidered my plan to move to Texas and currently plan to just stay here in my hometown Frankfurt, as there are currently no comparable options anywhere in the western world (maybe Canada, but then again I prefer to stay in multi-national EU if the diversity and sunny weather of the USA is currently not an option).

In those unstable times, we all feel the influx of money, ideas, people here. Some don‘t like change, but to me it all feels quite good.

Anyway, still hope to spend some years in the USA when the time is right.
So many of the questions in this thread are "but how??" Folks, this is a Reuters article. It's not technical. If you want to know how it works read the standards:

Perhaps the standards themselves are worthy of a HN post, so folks can ask deeper questions on that thread.

Germany is at 31+% renewable right now. They get a lower percentage of energy from Fossil fuels than the US but don't have massive natural gas deposits thus high coal usage.

There are a few. I've used a modified LMDB source in the past with success, employing similar tricks to kdb for performance (i.e. store daily data as contiguous arrays so that reads are quick etc). Either way, implementing a memory mapped store of arrays and operating on it is not too challenging a problem for any good C++ dev.
We get our students to sign up to Reclaim Hosting and via the control panel get them to install and play with private Omeka instances with either archival material of their own or with material we provide.

Am also a fan of Omeka (and the OCLC's Dublin Core), basically anything that comes out of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University (GMU) is world class.

There's also ArchivesSpace which seems very professional (which appears to be an amalgamation of Archon and Archivists' Toolkit but I haven't used any of them.

There are probably lots of others. And I'm sure as well there are expensive tools with dedicated support.
Sam Walton's employees would not be able to generate that fortune on their own. You seem to underestimate the role of leadership, vision and other business skills in creating a company. Not to mention that many of those employees probably also made their own small fortunes along the way.

Also, you make it sound like Sam Walton somehow has a debt of gratitude to a society for it allowing him to get rich. I think that no such debt ever exists: in exchange for those billions of dollars Walton made society has already gotten something equally valuable in return, i.e. Wal-Mart mall in every city, providing cheap and easy access to all kinds of consumer goods. That's how business works: making money by providing services that society finds valuable.
They are betting the barn on increasing renewable though.
In some parts of Europe, a product made in Germany is automatically a good product.

In fact, when looking for household appliances, you'll notice local shops using "originated from Germany" to promote some brands over the other. Especially Telefunken products.

Same thing applies to cars, where the public separates them into two categories: "German" and "shit".

With such a huge spectrum of kind of software, what applies in one kind won't necessarily be so for another.

The heartbeat argument is an obvious case. It's the same reason people look at the UI "chrome" in the screenshots in Android Play Store - if the battery indicator is from Eclair it doesn't built confidence it'll work in Nougat!

But that may apply less to a more minimalist utility (eg a command line tool)

Merely to update it so that you formally confirm that this version was tested on newer systems may be valid in some cases (although one could merely update documentation in many cases for that).

And then there is the dependency argument. Where a tool directly contains underlying packages, it builds confidence the developer won't get stuck too far behind current(ish) versions (with the greater risk of it becoming abandonware). Where the dependencies are external (ie up to the user to have installed) you do not want to be stuck on some old version, as other tools may move on, even if this super-stable software doesn't feel the need.
To elaborate: Symbolic equivalence checking for two expressions f1 and f2 can be done by seeing if sympy.simplify(sympy.Eq(f1, f2)) is sympy.true.

import sympy
from sympy.abc import x, y, alpha, s
quad = s ** 2 - alpha * s - 2
# Let s1 and s2 be the two solutions to the quadratic equation 'quad == 0'
s1, s2 = sympy.solve(quad, s)
u = (x - s2) / (x - s1) * (y - s1) / (y - s2)
f1 = (s2 - s1 * u) / (1 - u)
f2 = (x * y - alpha * x - 2) / (y - x)
# Claim: f1 is equal to f2
print(sympy.simplify(sympy.Eq(f1, f2)))
# Prints "True"
