Don't have 1st hand OpenBSD/arm64 experience but I'd definitely expect the page https://www.openbsd.org/arm64.html to be accurate as concerns device support, although I'd expect more drivers to be written. Not a committer but I think supported in this case is talking about system featureset on working hardware & project support (e.g. solid committers, build machines, etc), not meaning all hardware being supported.

I'd probably read the last year-or-so of openbsd-arm list and check the recent commit messges for that part of the tree if that page isn't clear..
This made me chuckle. If anybody remembers the dim and distant past of various singularitarian mailing lists on the internet, you might remember Eliezer Yudkowsky's theoretical 'annotative' language Flare[1]. It was one of the early steps on the (what was then quite straight in some people's minds) line to AGI.

As for this, possibly worthwhile for the authors to look into Dragan Djuric's work, he's done some really fast matrix stuff on Clojure[2].

Introduction to Graal, GraalVM and Truffle
Both iOS and Android phones a pretty much GREAT.

I don't get articles trying to convince people to change their preference.

I am fairly much of a Google fan (worked there as a contractor, I pay for Playstore books, movies, TV shows, sometimes pay for GCP). But, my reason for using iOS is to get away, at least somewhat, from all of my data being reused to pay for services. Not to go on a political rant because this is just a matter of personal opinion and choice, but I prefer to pay for services of value: Google Play, Audible, Netflix, Apple's paid for services, Fastmail. I wish there were a way to get a duckduckgo premium for no ads for a yearly charge, but I trues them to not track. I also believe in taking the trouble to remove all tracking cookies after using Facebook or Twitter.
I hope Tim Cook watches this, because my respect for apple is tanking.
> Widespread Bitcoin adoption would require more energy for mining coins than the entire world can currently produce.

No. Bitcoin could work exactly the same even without any more hash power, or energy consumption, ever being added.

This is because mining is only a competition to produce a block and defines the security of Bitcoin. But it has no bearing on how many transactions the network can process.

Any scaling that happens is completely orthogonal.

And I read the article and see Neantherthal's being used (stupidly thought it wasn't given a comment downthread).
A data structure cannot be functional. I understand what he's trying to say, and agree with most of it, but the word "functional" is purely wrong. What he wants to say is "good". But not all "functional programming" is good, nor is all good programming functional by necessity, despite what your local Lambda The Ultimate nerd tries to tell you.

The Best, when it comes to data structures is a Directed, Acyclic Graph. For instance your typical linux filesystem is a DAG. But there's one problem with DAGs: When they reach a certain complexity human brains are not fit enough to parse them anymore. (programs still can though)

So in many circumstances at least a human programmer needs to take a look at the state of your program and make assumptions about its correctness, which is called debugging. And that's why in Good programs we often use Good data structures instead of The Best.

Good data structures are key->value stores (which you may know as "hash tables" or "dictionaries"), trees, and trees in a simplified special form: lists, each of them being somewhat able to represent the other two, if one can accept a performance hit and/or increased complexity in source code. Dictionaries, trees, lists. That's it. And you do that in every programming language that is at least a little bit interested in being Good.

So there's nothing special or functional about git's data structures, it's just normal Good programming, and a few programmers who are so good at programming that they don't even need to mention it anymore, they breath good programms.

Then of course to the normal bread-earning coder good programs are a rare sight. But the reason is not that they are really rare, the reason is that successful business doesn't really require Good programs to succeed. Mediocre programs are good enough to earn their rent, and most of us spend most of our coding hours to earn our rent.

All that being said, if you don't just want to make money, go and spend some time studying git internals. It will teach you a lot more than most of your teachers/professors taught you combined. Sadly the source code is written by Linux gurus, who like to encrypt their source code with a very special key that only people from their tribe can understand. But the Git Book is actually good enough that you can study quite a lot of the internals from that book. I also suggest writing your own git in your favorite programming language once, to really understand it.
Did you try create_react_app? I find it way easier to setup my frontend using it than to use webpacker, even being used to both rails and react. You type "yarn build", and you have properly fingerprinted js and css files ready to use, with an `index.html` file that includes them. It's great to only focus on backend in rails, and it brings all the cool thing from js dev for free: babel, webpack, yarn, live reload, import of css files, etc.

SSR is indeed still a problem (I've build a cache system that will render pages with chrome headless, for that), but gladly, it's about to be solved (at least for the SEO part): https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2017/12/rendering-ajax-cra...

This is so true. One of the benefits I found most surprising about volunteering is how much easier it is to make quality connections with people while working on a volunteer project. I suppose the simple act of signing up to volunteer probably biases the population towards extroverts but it seems like people feel more comfortable opening up while being altruistic. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with people in this way.

I'm writing this from the Philippines. The problem here is that this country has a very weak commitment to rule of law, even though the Constitution of 1987 is based on the US Constitution. The big difference though, especially with regard to the large number of extra-judicial killings that have been carried out under Duterte's administration and with his approval, is that the victims were killed without a trial at all. Say what you want about the US death penalty and the fairness of it, but you cannot be put to death in the US by the government without a trial and legal representation. The Philippines glorifies vigilantism and "banana leaf justice" (because the murdered victims are often covered with a banana leaf or a piece of cardboard with "pusher" scrawled on it) Whataboutism doesn't change that.
If Git were purely functional, you would expect rebase not to modify the existing data in any way, and indeed that is exactly what happens. You can create, delete, or modify only the top-level pointers: branch names, reflog, etc. Instead, rebase creates a completely new set of commits, and points the current branch at a new one. This is exactly how functional data structures work in e.g. Haskell, where "inserting" an element into a dictionary means that you get a new copy of the dictionary, and all existing references to the original are unmodified.
The Key to Unlocking U.S. GDP Growth: Women
It is probably a reference to nuance and the fact that the real world is complicated, with multiple competing interests and perspectives. Children learn history in lessons that often have an implicit good-guys/bad-guys story hidden beneath it, while educated adults tend to be able to handle stories that have fewer good guys and bad guys and mostly just a bunch of guys pursuing their own self-interest within a particular environment that provides a specific set of available options. The problem is that the latter sort of lessons involve more cognitive effort and do not lead you to easy answers that make you feel like you are a part of 'the good guys.' John Oliver, much like Rush Limbaugh, tells simple stories of the former variety; stripped of nuance and complications that are intended to lead the recipient to a specific and obvious solution or outcome.
I think the book "the rise of the warrior cop" explains that how the police does their job in the US has changed and why. It gave pretty satisfying answers as to why it's become what it is now.

I once downloaded a python script, ran it with some input, and got a result. Curious, I opened the script in Emacs, which then opened it into python mode. As is my habit, I indented the whole file, which did basic white space changes to it according to python mode. I didn't realize I did this at first, and I saved and exited the script, then played around with it some more. Still got results, everything seemed the same. But when I tried it with the same input as originally, it was a different return result. This took a while to figure out, until I realized that emacs changed the indentation of just one line, because the author had apparently not followed the typical idioms or conventions of indenting python in some way. That merely opening, beautifying, and saving a file could change program output with no errors has turned me off of white space sensitive syntax ever since.

Which is partly why OCaml gets some bias from me over Haskell.

Exactly. Those familiar with functional data structures would thus point you at git and say: heres a structure from the Okasaki book that you use every day.

One more step is to point that futures / promises, and even lists, are monads that a e.g. JS programmer uses every day, too. It reminds me of the old literary character who did not know that he's been speaking prose all his life.
Using which exploit? Quoting the article:
"
The vulnerability identified in CVE-2017-5712 is exploitable remotely over the network in conjunction with a valid administrative Intel® Management Engine credential. The vulnerability is not exploitable if a valid administrative credential is unavailable."

So where is the Ethernet level remote vulnerability? The rest require physical access.

I'm sure it is possible to have an artistic layer of software management that reduce everything to "write me a function that passes this test", which you could outsource to wherever. But having reduced all of the code to that level you have done all of the hard work in writing it anyway, haven't you? By involving the all of the junior devs in that reduction process, you are also teaching them how to do it, so they can be he next 'architect'.

An interesting and sort of related aside: I do some work with a company that makes old fashioned 'Enterprise software'. Their process seems to be that the back end dev gods write functionality that is convenient for the database, and then the front end people make that accessible to humans in the most convenient way for them. So instead of working the way humans do, the humans have to work the way the database does! When you talk to their back end devs, they talk down to you like you are an idiot for not following the way they work! Their db implementation is actually pretty good, the application is only really usable to people that can write SQL, however! If their API didn't also suck it would be tempting to re-skin the whole app.
Yes, a "currency" should be treated as an asset, not cash.

Not really, the way Lisp abstracts the hardware is what made projects like Thinking Machines in 1985, with StarLisp possible.

The point wasn’t there aren’t any other sources of reporting available. (though, the traditional media do have a harder time keeping in businees due to the dominance of social media). The point was that an important part of the media, the social one, is being aggressively monopolized by Facebook, so there are less news sources in the social space, so the truth suffers.

> Those are far better sources of 'truth' than you'll ever get through social media.

It depends. I think it’s fair to say social media has an important role in reporting, but that like with newspapers - if you have just one for the entire country, the quality of news will suffer, as will your susceptibility to biased abuse.

Apple could provide a way for the app creator to add alternative app-install links which also provide a configuration setting.

I think the author has a point in saying that learning Git by trying to map it to Subversion is not the best way to do it, but I don't think analyzing it as a functional data structure adds much insight. To me, it is easier to understand when you look at its purpose, and how it solves the problems of that domain - and the biggest difficulties of version control are on account of the problem being essentially one of distributed, lockless concurrency, something not mentioned in this article.

I'm sure they want to take control of the social media, since Duterte has pretty much been spreading fake news [0] along with his facebook army of trolls [1 & 2] to discredit the opposition. And sometimes even members of the Duterte cabinet [3] are doing it as well to link the opposition to a terrorist conspiracy. He even has some control in twitter, having been discovered by a social media analytics firm that 20% of those who mention Duterte are actually bots [4].

Ask yourself which is more lucrative and you’ll have your(depressing) answer.
I'm disappointed that spec didn't get beyond alpha for this release. This worries me a little just because in the past a lot of stuff in Clojure releases has felt abandoned after a while - transducers were new in 1.8, but couldn't use the parallelism of 1.7's reducers (do we use them still?!) because of the way stateful transducers worked. I don't see this having been worked upon for this release.

As it is, spec is pretty slow, and the implementation is a massive black box, with a ton of `(case op...)` on the inside making it almost impossible to extend in any sensible way for the moment. Beyond that I'm still really not clear on what the workflow with spec is supposed to be. I just don't verify code in the repl and then move on with my life, and there's no clear guidance on what a productive developer workflow for this stuff is. It doesn't help when every example of generative testing I see online omits the bit where you actually check a function does what it's supposed to.

Anyway, love Clojure still, but in a way it feels like an ongoing dialogue that's over my head, rather than a programming language.
> It only has value because people believe it does,...

Have you ever asked yourself why they believe that? It's because they can pay their taxes with it, but also, as it says right on the front, "this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private." As long as the US government is still a thing, this phrase means what it says. I haven't seen anything so far to convince me that BTC has more stability or longevity than the US or EU (or Britain...).
Well, as I said above, I'm in the Philippines, and I'm here to tell you that it's rather troubling what's going on here from a civil rights perspective.

Don't mean to be negative but is there any evidence of causation? I might be missing a link or study but this simply seems to be wild speculation that it's related to gender.

I would definitely believe the idea that including more women in the work force will help us be richer but i don't see much data in the article suggesting this. I see data showing how woman are under represented, and how in Norway they're not and norway has a strong GDP. But that is one data point. But the title says the US WOULD be $1.6 trillion richer.

Good point, but since there's no obvious reason Lightning Network couldn't work over Tor hidden services, I expect that to happen in time.
The metodologies and all of the aforementioned tools are fine.
But instead of using them to stay in the schedules with less, we used them to make more in the same amount of time. We pursued efficiency ("more with less") and profit instead of keeping the profits constant and give more free time to people.
In other words, economic growth demand eroded the margin that we gained through these efficiencies.
Absolutely! This was my experience too. I’d like to add that it helps you to get out more and focus less on yourself, as often we over-analyse and self-doubt too much.

And no real commitment. No performance trackers, no material gains, just your best shot. Children are really awesome too - it’s amazing how they’re so small and naive, yet super curious and active. Really inspiring. If you’re interested, I recommend checking with your local school, it’s very likely that they’re short of hand. A few hours a week is enough!
