Server response, do you mean in the context of a server that does server side rendering? I was thinking in the context of a normal app: api backend and (possibly multiple) front end rendering apps
I wonder about that myself. Those are some elaborate outfits. Manufacturing the full outfit with first world labour by hand using natural fibres would cost 1000s of dollars in today's market.

One guy had a beaver pelt top hat. I read somewhere that at one time they cost as much as a Porsche in today's dollars, though you can only make a crude analogy between our money and theirs.
Perhaps you're right, there may not be one. However, I think the point the OP is trying to make is that JavaScript is a shitty language and it would be better to invest some effort in replacing it with something better than to continuously try to "fix" all its inherent shitty-ness over and over again to little avail. Sure, JavaScript isn't as shitty today as it was 10 years ago, but it still isn't a well-thought-out, well-designed, or consistent language.

For examples of JavaScript's shitty-ness, I'd point to its various function declaration styles and their disparate effects on the code you write, its wishy-washy scoping, namespacing, the number type's precision problem, NaN being a number type, the ambiguity of this, just to name a few.

Would be nice if authors compared to some of the existing linear algebra packages with SIMD support like Eigen[1] which I've found to be very useful and easy to use. Header only includes, additional functionality and cache sensitive algorithms in addition to SIMD.

I am willing to concede your pedigree as a developer as necessary but I've been writing all manner of languages and environments since 99 and I'm sorry to say there's no revolution here, no battlefield to die on. It's a poor model that has been tried and abandoned any number of times in my career. The ubiquity of platforms that suit these ideas and developers who think Web development began with node and spas isn't confirmation that every idea is the future.

Moreover, the notion that because FB or whoever went "hmm nothing solves our domain problem, we have the resources to solve it ourselves" that suddenly they solved every domain problem is equally naive. It's likely that people quoting react stacks are solving issues that never existed for them with libraries they don't need.
Surprised it took so long. The original thesis for PayPal was as a digital currency not controlled by a single entity but as we know, the final implementation was short of that. In that original pursuit Bitcoin ticks a lot of the libertarian boxes.

It's not about 'inflation' it's about hyperinflation. Nobody is treating crypto-currencies as currencies, they're treating them as investment vehicles so the current trend is to create a hyper-deflationary 'currency' so you can tell your original investors that they're 'in on the ground floor' and they have a reason to believe it. You get those guys in, they're incentivized to spread the word, they do so and boom we get what we keep seeing, the fear of missing out and greater fools driving speculation bubbles.

This is like saying that Netscape can re-write Navigator because they can copy Internet Explorer. It ignores that Netscape and Microsoft had totally different reasons for the choices they made, and that changing those choices in a re-write was very non-trivial for Netscape, to the point where it ceased to be a company.

You will likely find similar problems with this in attempting to replicate other health care systems. Indeed, you could complain that the mess we are in now is the result of doing a poor job replicating Switzerland's health insurance laws.
That's just nuts. Can't they hide behind their cars or something and watch? Why shoot from such a distance just based on movement?

Imagine your dog or child ran out in this situation. How are you supposed to behave? Stand still and watch them get shot?
Coinbase – Paid for LTC 1 month ago, still waiting on delivery...
It's been a full month now since I tried to buy some LTC on Coinbase. My purchase is still pending however, nearly a month after Coinbase took my funds via ACH. Their support isn't answering, reddit is full of angry people (some in the exact same boat as me) and occasionally a support Rep helps someone there, but I've had no such luck. What can and/or should I do here? Curious if anyone else is in the same boat.

I think you sort of misunderstood my point. My point was that you'd have an easier time of selling me on it if Obamacare had actually simplified things. Which was one of the promises it made, after all. Explaining why it failed to do so does not contradict my point, it reinforces it.

In terms of Obamacare not simplifying things, my engineering answer is "Then why did we implement it?" If a goal is impossible for some reason, then the correct solution is not to try to obtain it, not to just cruft up the system harder anyhow. How many people can tell the same story of failure in their engineering jobs? Since this is the same set of people who want to bring us nationalized healthcare and want to write all the regulations for it, it does not encourage me to think well of their judgment in doing so.

I am abundantly confident that our current ruling class would find some way to muck it up. Even if we handed them The Pristine National Healthcare System Act of 2018, they'd have regulated it to death in just a handful of years. Our current ruling class doesn't seem to be able to sneeze in anything less than 50 pages of legislation and several hundred pages of accompanying regulations.
It talks about "if current employer is not the GC sponsoring employer". I am saying that job changes are easy IF the new company is willing to sponsor the GC in which case the process restarts (taking about 2 years) but the priority date is retained.
All template engines do. JSX doesn't get compiled but transpiled which makes all the difference. Therefore it works with the language, uses latest es-drafts without problems, is 100% typesafe as it can work with other supersets like TS or flow, it also doesn't rely on dependency injection and all the other annoyances.

The biggest reason for me to prefer it: JSX is a simple but elegant solution to a decades old problem. A function signature was all it took to allow it to become cross platform and independent of the browser. A template engine comes at the expense of simplicity and flexibility. It needs so many abstraction and circumventions to function, injecting scope, evals, parsers, foreign syntax ... and for what, it most certainly doesn't make things easier.
So I had to look up SJW and found out it is used to mean "Social Justice Warrior", as a pejorative. You're going to need better pejoratives, punk!

Dwelo | Software Engineers | Full Time | San Francisco Bay Area and Salt Lake City | Full Time

Dwelo is the operating system for apartment communities. Our software, hardware, and service platform enables the owners and managers of multifamily properties (think, apartment buildings) to offer smart homes as an amenity to their residents while also improving the efficiency of their operations. In the last few months we've invested heavily in the metering and data analysis side of our business. And we have been integrating with devices outside of apartment units to bring entire buildings online.

The engineering work we do has hardware (IoT, cellular, zwave and other forms of connectivity) and cloud (AWS, Twilio Sync) components. We are especially interested in talking to engineers who build with Python, Rust, and Scala. However, anyone who loves to see their software manifest real life effects on the corporeal world, or do predictive analytics on millions of sensor readings from networked devices, or create a magical and eminently accessible experience in the homes and communities of our residents and the operations teams that support them should talk to us.

> What we need is a binary format with a thin (not overly abstracted) pseudocode that closely models the processor. OSes could lazily compile these binaries and cache them, eliminating JIT program launch overhead except on first launch or code change. If the pseudocode contained rich vectorization instructions, etc., then there would not be much if any performance cost. In fact performance might be better since the lazy AOT compiler could apply CPU model specific optimizations and always use the latest CPU features for all programs.

This sounds halfway like ART[0].

Second, we can bring what is known as differentiated education — based on the idea that students master skills in different ways and at different speeds — to every student in the country. A 2013 study by the National Institutes of Health found that nearly 40 percent of medical students held a strong preference for one mode of learning: Some were listeners; others were visual learners; still others learned best by doing.

This study was a 100 person survey with no experimental evidence to back up people's beliefs. I've been working with educators for a while, and they've said that "learning styles" are just a myth with no solid evidence. All this survey says is that people think they learn best via one method, but people are notoriously bad at knowing what is an effective way of learning. In surveys people overvalue the "intensity" of a learning experience [1], which makes them think things like a 3-week bootcamp are more effective, when really spaced repetition is a better use of time.

At least in the US, there are many easier ways we could improve our education methods before resorting to ML-driven customization.

I want an app/website to show me a simple view of my portfolio to tell me how much i am up/down on each coin, cost, value, etc...

I use blockfolio on the iphone but it is pretty crappy.

Ideally, the app would integrate automatically to the exchanges and pull down my data so I don't have to type in every transaction.

It is named bitcoin. The first line of the paper you cite: "A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online

financial institution."

I'm not sure how you can say it was only meant to be a store of value with a straight face. I don't know whether to question your sanity, your reading skills, or your integrity.
I've seen that a lot in applied computer science. For example, papers describing algorithms to compute measurements in 3d geometry with equations. Equations are almost completely useless when it is numerical stability and precision issues you need. 32 bit floating points have very little in common with the real numbers.

My grandfather was a tailor, and ended up employing a 100 people or so. Tailor made clothing was the norm, rather than the exception for anybody of moderate means and just about everybody that could afford it had a sewing machine or knew how to use one. Sewing machines were common wedding gifts, and were the equivalent in money of a small car today. Fabrics were of far better quality than the ones we have today and repairing stuff rather than throwing it away was normal. Fashion was as much a thing back then as it is now.
The swatter is a malicious or crazy individual. The police failures are systematic. We can (and should) punish or treat the former, but it's overwhelmingly more important to fix the latter. Castigating the swatter carries the risk of overlooking the systemic failure; I have no doubt that there are PR people across the country who are working to shape the public discourse in that direction.
Do you really feel BTC's feature is still going to be related payements?
I lived through all of that. It was not continuous like it is now. It was intermittent. If the media had not been ginning them up for the temporal equivalent of "page views" they wouldn't have happened at all. Now "the people" can generate them on their own. (The media still runs along behind fanning the flames, but they're working to keep up rather than leading it now.) There has been a fundamental change in how they work now.
We already have commercial systems which do this. See PhaseFocus for example (http://www.phasefocus.com/technology-virtual-lens/). This uses proprietary deconvolution algorithms to reconstruct a 3D volume from diffraction patterns in unfocussed (or partially focussed) 2D planes. See also X-ray crystallography, which samples in Fourier space and uses a computed transform to reconstruct the 3D image.

This new microlens technology is very neat, but the processing problem has been solved for several different applications for several years now. Reconstructing a 3D volume is absolutely possible, and while this new development will undoubtedly require new algorithms to work, it's already got a sound basis in existing technology in use today.
