Statement's like Microsoft's are horrible; "the cloud should be about paying for what you consume" well, Kubernetes consumes at least one master node in order to orchestrate a cluster.

But, Google/GKE does charge for management of the cluster. A constant fee of $109/mo for 6+ nodes. Its not technically the charge for the master node, but that cost to Google + other things is likely where that $109/mo comes from.

The first issue is how to make sure that people aren’t creating 100 profiles each (something that’s a real problem on sites today). This is where I expect data breaches to “help”; as it becomes more and more ridiculous that our current identity schemes aren’t working, something better can be developed and act as a basis for a unique-by-birth profile that is as anonymous as you need it to be.

Part of the problem of expertise would be solved by the natural upper limit on how much expertise is reasonable for one person to have. No one should be able to claim strong experience in more areas than they could have conceivably spent time learning/practicing. Therefore, if you’re going to make your profile claim expertise in something you know nothing about, you’d definitely be wasting your limited opportunity to comment and you wouldn’t be able to do that for everything. Also, if comments/votes/etc. on something are only permitted for people in related fields, an uninformed person’s ramblings might still be drowned out by the only other people commenting.

Determining how to limit a profile is tricky. Some restrictions would be easy, e.g. a 14-year-old can’t claim 30 years experience in an industry. Some would be harder, perhaps enabled by webs of trust (e.g. as a side effect of employment, your employer adds credibility to your profile somehow in a particular area of expertise).

Nowadays I'm back in university, studying psychology (I just started).

As far as I know, the problem with anger management is not the anger itself, it's how you deal with it so it doesn't overwhelm you, and so you can have less of it. What I mean is that it's a symptom, not the issue itself. It's normal to be angry when someone is a jerk to you, it's healthy even, and so it's not* inherently "bad" (as we so often portray anger and sadness). The problem is when you let it get away from you.

I hope I understand correctly that your last paragraph is agreeing with my comment. If not, then I should have extended the notion of "necessary" to "useful", in the sense that you are describing. However the problem with evo psych is that it's largely non-falsifiable. The part you are describing is somewhat an obligatory aspect of evolution, but evo psychologists and anthropologists tend to draw conclusions that aren't rigorous (in my opinion). This is coming from someone who has 30 credits in Anthropology from a few years back :)

Generally there is no harm in theorizing, but I consider psychology and psychotherapy to be too important to allow ourselves to consider untested information. I do agree that other people may find Dr Eckman interesting... I don't but others might ;)
Fyi, it's "Republic of Macedonia".
Writing your own Lisp-ette is a brilliant evening or weekend project, regardless of the language. It's some of the simplest non-toy parsing you can attempt, a bit of light data structure work, and understanding eval/apply is 80% of the work in implementing it. I would highly recommend anyone to have a go, and try not to follow existing code too closely: figure out the problems in your language of choice.

The post identifies some of it's own weaknesses (memory handling, errors), which are quite C specific. Or at least easier to handle in other languages, where you can punt those issues to the host language runtime. But it will be a fun extension to fix them (a job for the second evening / weekend of coding ;) )

But, imho, the beauty of writing a Lisp is that there are a bunch of things you can do from there, some more difficult, but several are achievable step-by-step in a day or a few days each. I'd first add a few special forms more than the OP (quote, if, progn, math operations), then my suggestions:

1. Defining names (if you haven't already), both let and define special forms.

2. Lambdas.

3. Tail call optimisation (I suggest this not because it's an optimisation, this Lisp doesn't need optimising, but because TCO is a bite-sized extension.)

4. Lexical scoping of lambdas.

5. Continuations. call/cc

6. And if you're really brave (or skilled, or just masochistic), macros.

I was encouraged to do this as a new grad student, and it was one of the most fun and educational experiences I remember. I didn't get as far as macros back then, but implementing call/cc was a definite pivot point in my programming competence.
This probably doesn't have to do 100% about money. When the govt wants some data, there aren't as many doors to knock on now.

This is a good thing; Microsoft will increase competition in this space by applying its expertise in dev tools to Kubernetes.

I just hope that MS doesn't add in too many platform-specific pieces that would encourage vendor lock-in.

For example k8s ingress right now is based on controllers and GCE controllers support/don't support a wide variety of things compared to nginx ingress... these areas of Kubernetes make me worried about potential future switching costs.

Your first experience illustrates neatly my thoughts about the article.

The 'cacophony of noises, specific images' (which you refer to) were generated by the 'fast, efficient, non-conscious systems in [your] brain' (which the article refers to).

But when you woke up fully the cacophony was joined up into the 'coherent whole'. That's what consciousness is, I think: the joining of things or processes together so that they interact and new things (new patterns) can emerge. These things can now be adopted and utilized by 'the narrative' and as a result the narrative itself changes.

So, though it works indirectly, consciousness is really immensely powerful. It's misleading to think of it as 'passive'. The mind may be driven by desires and fears, but without consciousness there'd be no material to work with.
Heavyweight formal methods, such as Coq and Isabelle, take quite a bit of time to get into. You generally have to build up semantics of your domain and go up from there. Coq is trying to fix this by building up their tactics libraries and other things, but it can still be a slog.
or you just use that domain for your site, as it (supposedly) already has built Domain Authority and Trust Flow. Redirects pass on some linkjuice to the redirected domain. But not as much as using the domain that HAS it built up already.

A grey/black hat SEO tactic is to use that domain as part of a PBN (private blog network). Basically manufacturing backlinks to boost your money site.
This is pretty cool; Boyd had mentioned to me something about there being a good method for solving QPs that was nicer than the usual SOCP reduction (that's horrible and pretty slow in the general case). I think this was the case he was referring to.

Anyways, the results here are quite impressive; I wonder what would happen if Anderson acceleration[0] was used to speed this up further? IIRC, someone from the lab was doing some work on that, but for general splitting-cone methods rather than just QP solving.

I see your point, but respectfully disagree that an incomplete implementation should stop a submitter from sharing his or her discoveries. This is an aesthetic position - I think interesting ideas are more important than clean implementations (It is left as an exercise to the reader... is an ok position, IMO).
I am pretty sure you can change a lot of SVG properties trough CSS (use "currentColor" to change the color, for example).

There was a discussion about http://slides.com/sdrasner/svg-can-do-that/ some time ago, which gives some nice SVG styling examples.
If you go with (hygenic) fexprs instead of macros, they're both easier to implement and more expressive, at the expense of performance.

> or slightly related 'how could we talk about it?'

All of this is at least intuitively easy to explain with added language and complexity in the brain. So like the chain would become:

Touch hot flame -> brain processes event (and then does complicated language processing, and complicated memory and emotion processing) and THEN sends signals to move hand or not move hand -> You experience all of this but it had no relevancy to the chain of events.

Where I would ponder the relevancy of consciousness is when it comes to attention and remembering things. Just from personal experience, I can read a book, watch a movie or listen to music and I will not remember a thing if I wasn't aware of it. Is awareness and consciousness the same thing? I don't know, but at least we are conscious of everything we are aware of, by definition, and not necessarily vice versa.
If Lisp is so easy so implement, is it also easy to learn? (I am familiar with Haskell)
Listen to what you said... the highest order observation, "when ovserved by the person" is an illusion.

This implies that there is someone ("the person") observing the highest order observation -- making it not the highest order.

And to be an illusion there needs to be someone to fool in the first place.

Try to get that language out of your stataments and then see if you can say ANYTHING AT ALL about consciousness! :-)
The backing of fiat is illusory.

I always posit this question, to which I have never received a satisfactory answer: What, exactly, would the US do if the world suddenly decided that the dollar was worth nothing?

This is exactly what Verizon did to parts of the NE after Hurricane Sandy. They provided CDMA/LTE based pots services in areas in which they didn't feel it was economical to rewire with fiber.

Darn, no benchmark against Ipopt, which in my experience still gives the best black-box performance on large, sparse quadratic problems. In my experience the commercial solvers (Gurobi, Mosek) are actually quite slow.
While this is very cool, it has at least one buffer overflow vulnerability. There is no bounds checking in gettoken().

Also, the talk about pointers being aligned to "8 bit boundaries" I think means 8 byte boundaries. Memory is not bit-addressable (at least, not in C, on anything popular).

But I don't mean to detract from the project! It is very cool nonetheless :)

It seems agreeing on what a "unit" is is elusive.

If a function calls another function, for example, testing the caller without mocking the callee, I'm told often, is not truly a unit test.
> Part of the trouble is that there's no way to talk about uninitialized memory in Rust.

You mentioned Vec right after that. Which is interesting, because Vec deals with uninitialized memory just fine. https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec/struct.Vec.html#method.res... allocates more space, but doesn't allow you to read it unless you explicitly add elements.

> It only takes one wrong piece of unsafe code to enable a buffer overflow attack.

Isn't that the case for every language? Here, you can limit the unsafe bit to the underlying datastructure if any unsafe actions are required. Maybe Vec uses some unsafe bits, maybe not - but the usage of it is all safe code.

I should do more research on the subject of social attitudes toward death throughout History. I think you may be right that it helps explain a lot of our less healthy (or more controversial*) habits. It's possible though that life itself feels much more oppressive; though it most likely isn't, our subjective experiences are often extremely alienating and their purpose very abstract (compared to say, plowing fields).
Do people really announce new releases just over email and things like mail-archive or? Those mail archives always looked strange to me for some unknown reason.

The experiments about people with their brain hemispheres separated indicate that conciousness is an effort of many mental areas to create an integrated and coherent mental state. For example, consider subjects whose verbal area is separated from their visual area, when the subject tries to explain what he saw he tell us an imaginary story. This strongly suggests that our brain is working hard to integrate all the information that it receives. At this moment, I can't recall any concrete experiments, but they are something like this: one of your eyes see a message telling that you kid is crying, then you begin to try to phone home, when asked what are you doing, you gives some explanation like my kid was acting a little strange this morning, I need to call to see what is happening at home.

The lack of true arrays or vectors haven’t been an issue for me across a couple of domains. Of course maps can always be used as indexed based lookups for mid-sized problems (similar to lua’s combined array/map type).

What problems have you been facing where it’s an issue? It’d be nice to know to avoid said problems upfront.

Full name is very important because google gives heavy weight to exact matches on domain names for search terms and names tend to be pretty unique.

Why would the rest of the world decide this? It’d hurt them more than it’d hurt the US or else they’d have done it already.

I grew up in Missouri; my dad was amember of the Missouri Speleological Society, and we spent a lot of weekends wandering into unlit holes in the earth.

Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee are built on limestone and have a lot of subterranean water moving around - meaning there are a lot of caves. Like, a kind of stupid number of caves. When I was a kid, Missouri had more caves than any other state, but it lost the title to Tennessee at some point, as more and more caves were found to be connected to one another. And a few of these caves have been commercialized for a very long time, like the one in the posting. The caves are a pretty magical feature of an otherwise (IMO) pretty bland part of the country.
Does it really ? I don't believe in free will, to a large extent, and this doesn't stop me from trying to do good. And doesn't the idea of "free will" also do harm ? Such as when people just discard mental health issues as "just matter of will" ?
I remember buying a couple dozen BTC for $0.10, and thinking I was amazing when I sold all of the coins for a total of $20.

Still don’t regret it though because I know the next few years of my early 20s would have been spent tracking BTC like a bloodhound rather than spending that time on things I enjoy.

Then again I’m probably telling myself that so I don’t feel bad for missing out on 100s of thousands of dollars.
I've thought about creating something similar to this before however using a slightly different set of tools (Web/Python/MySQL). The accounting system is of interest to me because I personally know a small business that could benefit from this.
They have a prototype, I'm not sure why calling that the current implementation is problematic (I think it implies that change is quite possible...).

Exactly and this is the purpose of a static site generator. The content is not related to the actual site representation.

I'm in an apartment building in NYC. While a new service elevator was being installed, the elevator guys cut my phone line 3 times, and 3 times Verizon came out to fix it, at no cost to me. However after the third time, the building management refused to allow copper wire service to continue in the building. It turns out I was 1 of only 2 apartments which hadn't already moved to a cable/internet/phone package from one of three available providers.

It annoyed me to have to switch, but ultimately it turned out to be cheaper, even after the initial contract expired.
I've been working in a CPS Joy variant, deriving recursive functions on trees and such. I've noticed that the code always works the first time. So far my "data" on this phenomenon is still too anecdotal to get excited, but I wanted to mention it (here where people might be interested.) It surprised me at first, but then I realized that this is part of the promise of Backus' Functional Programming: being able to do algebra to derive programs gives you error-free code that doesn't require tests.

It leads me to speculate... what if I don't need types to write correct software? I assumed I would implement typing and type inference (like Factor language already has) at some point. But if the code has no bugs without it... YAGNI?

My reasoning goes like this: Let's postulate that we have a library of functions, each of which has the quality Q of being error-free. If we derive new functions from the existing ones by a process that preserves Q, so that new functions are all also error-free, then we cannot have errors in our code, just user error. I.e. the user can present bad inputs, but no other source of error exists (other than mechanical faults.) This would be a desirable state of affairs. Now if the Q-preserving new-function-deriving process doesn't require types to work, then we don't need them. Whether or not typing helps prevent user error is another question. Personally, I lean toward defining user error as UI error, but I am ranging far from my original point now.

Air Quality Monitor Test Results
WebSQL does seem a little nutty to me. You’d perennially be in a state of wondering which SQL features it supported and which it didn’t. It would just introduce a whole other layer of browser incompatibilities as the browser vendors prioritized different features and performance optimizations.

Or, if you committed to keeping it simple and not chasing Postgres and MySQL, then there’s kinda no point. Just write a little SQL wrapper around LocalStorage.

In the end, that’s why we have LocalStorage—it’s simple. Like a file system. It means that you can have a clear sense of what browsers do and do not support.

I guess here’s a direct question: why do you prefer WebSQL over a tiny JS library that does the same thing?
