This is the exact reason I've commented (and been shouted down for) saying that React is a fad. It's trying to replace fundamental core system with a layer, and do it better. It will never work, it can't.

Eventually everyone will figure out that building "apps" with DOM manipulation will never be as performant as lower level coding (ie, not a script layer), and they will move on. And the DOM will return to light apps and general purpose websites with basic interactivity.

How can it go any other way? Btw, the only reason I am posting this is bit out of frustration that stating something so obvious makes some people really angry. I suspect its because they have invested so much in React, and don't want to consider it a temporary hack until webassembly or shadow dom or some other tech makes it completely obsolete.

I tried out Atom, it's miserably slow. And I recently downloaded VScode, just to give it a whirl, and it's impressively faster. But I use Komodo, and that is based on Scintilla and Firefox, and it works just fine.

The Y-axis on the benchmarks is labelled starting at 1. In short, this is barely 20% quicker than React.

The startup time is significant and VC money doesn't go into BTC mining. Furthermore, the engineers almost certainly have to live in China and have engineering / fabrication experience there. And you can virtually guarantee your first product will be terrible and obsoleted by Bitmain nearly immediately.

Manufacturing costs in the US wouldn't just be high, they would be impossible to actually get done. MOQ on something like this in American factories wouldn't be in the 100-500 range, probably not even 1,000. American factories are extremely non-agile, non-risk taking, and generally do not serve startups very well.

BTC being over $10k is a very new thing, too. The insane mining profits at a 1MB blocksize + $10k+ price may not last and is a new signal. It takes a lot of time, effort, luck, and perseverance - and Jihan is a formidable enemy. Sometimes it's best to just avoid a high-risk area where many, many others failed.
This is the reason why DNT failed. If it can't be forced, the bad players won't follow it.

I wish engineers and computer scientists would pay attention to that gut reaction more often.

Programming really at some level is as much about translating human ideas into physical computations as anything. In this regard, it is a fundamentally psychological process, as much about the programmer as the computer. There's a sort of psychological-cognitive -> math -> physics process, and I often feel as if the emphasis is on the second two steps, and not so much on the first two.

There's good reasons for this, but it's resulted in a sort of blind spot that often comes out as people just preferring languages like python or javascript or whatever, and not wanting to acknowledge that those fuzzy, poorly understood preference processes are driving development as much as the choice of algorithm or hardware constraints.

I think it's poor ergonomics, really, and effects things as much as memory management models, etc.

We're at a stage, though, where languages like Nim, etc. offer some promise of ergonomics and performance, and I hope people will pay attention to it carefully, so we don't end up in the same situation as the one Atom exemplifies. I like Atom, and don't have any particular attachment to Nim, but do think there's something we shouldn't be ignoring anymore. Often when a language is difficult to intuit, the reaction is to shame the programmer, to characterize them as not smart enough to understand the language. Sometimes there's some truth to that, but sometimes I think it reflects deficits in the language, whose sole purpose, really, is to translate human thoughts into computational events.

Lightning solves the fundamental problem that a blockchain can’t scale to support the number of transactions needed. A block size limit increase can only get you so far. The block size will still need to increase with lightning at some point but it’ll be many orders of magnitude less.

Under lightning who is this new group that confirms transactions you’re concerned about? At the moment hashing power is fairly well distributed on the Bitcoin blockchain, not at all well on BCH. For lightning transactions there could be thousands of “people” you can decide to open a channel with. You can set up your own nodes if you wish.
I'm an Instagram user that genuinely enjoys clicking on a lot of ads - to buy dumb cheap stuff. Pins, clothing, general apparel gets sent to me and it's exceedingly obvious when the quality of the ads start to degrade and soon enough my feed is full of new no-name companies. They front like an established brand having only 4 products all with the same design, all with ridiculous markups.

I would love vetted ads with established companies. I really understood the longing for walking through a mall. No tricks, just here's a cool thing of mine (a serious business) please buy it.

I like your optimism. I've heard that in the Netherlands, the solve this problem by having a red turning arrow when people (on foot, on bike or in cars) are allowed to go forward. So in drive-on-the-left terms, vehicle traffic is allowed to go from the south to the north or east or from the east to the south. Since people who are driving cars from the south and want to turn to the west are obliged to stop, there's no possibility they'll unintentionally charge into people walking or riding bikes across the western entrance. The disadvantage is it requires four cycles not two, and therefore reduces the time pedestrians can cross.

On Albert St and Swanston St in (East) Melbourne, the separated lane stops at intersections so that cars can use the bike lane to turn left. People riding bikes are supposed to give way to people driving cars and then filter around the stopped cars into the bike box ahead of the cars. I never really feel safe using the Albert St lane for this and other reasons. Fortunately I have other options.
3rd parties are already so screwed, I don't even know where to start fixing the problems. For example, last I checked in Illinois third-party candidates needed _way_ more petition signatures to even get on a ballot than Republican or Democratic ones (though the legislation is careful to not call out the Republican or Democratic parties by name; it's written in terms of vote share in the previous election). That sort of thing is all over the place.

As a mathematical exercise, trying to extend the game to more than 2 parties is interesting, for sure. Real-world relevance is unclear, unfortunately.

> In this paper, we show that deep learning methods can be leveraged to train a model end-to-end to automatically generate code from a single input image with over 77% of accuracy for three different platforms (i.e. iOS, Android and web-based technologies).

you can get 100% accuracy with a mathematical model

> Currently, the largest barrier to automating front-end development is computing power.

this is misguided and ignores the fact that handing data to a function and getting data back is a mathematical operation that can be studied using the techniques of mathematics

the notion that the pixels in an image are not valid input to a compiler or interpreter that implements a mathematical algorithm is stupid and obviously wrong

handing this data over to an algorithm that changes with every iteration is art, not science

this is a paper that advocates for a specific layout of handheld graphical user interface and has nothing to do with actual mathematical research that is relevant to the problem

instead of showing the mathematical details, the author shows a pretty picture of the interface

this article is highly misleading and is clearly shoehorning particular statistics in to paint a rather manipulative and damning portrait of a greedy jeff bezos and the soulless company he's running. that's okay, i assume anyone here would have the mental wherewithal to discern this sort of trickery and not allow such drivel to influence their opinions too much.

the reality is that the few people in the first world (let's face it, if you're reading hackernews, you're probably in the first world) aren't benefiting directly from amazon in someway, whether it be directly or indirectly.

it's frustrating to see this generalized hatred towards anyone who surpasses a certain level of success, as if what he's doing to make the world a better place isn't quite enough and he should be off in africa spoonfeeding starving children. it's such a cartoonish and unrealistic notion that anyone with that amount of money would be able to solve the most complex issues that we face as a species simply because he has a high net worth.

i'd take facebook, google and amazon as my technocratic overlords over just facebook and google any year of the millenium.

As any pilot knows, the stomach unfriendly words from Tower are: "Caution, Wake Turbulence".

The air, being a sparse fluid, can change fast. Especially so if another aircraft has flown through it recently. It's not that there isn't anyone there, it's the air they left behind is all non-laminar now. Doubly being suddenly downwind of stationary objects like towers, wind farms, and mountains.

Also, quick point of caution: One reason early flyers died a lot because they flew so low. Even after a few meters of height, just about any crash is likely to be deadly. Paradoxically, the higher you fly, the better off you are (in certain cases). In flying, your height can be measured in 'mistake recovery time'. The higher you are, the more time you have before you hit the ground, the more time you have to fix a mistake. If your engine cuts out, you have a longer glide time to look for a lake. You can get a fuel pump restarted or unfrozen. You have more time to grab a parachute and bail. Etc. It took a long time and a lot of lives to realize this. As such, personal drone-choppers will be more dangerous and I fear we will have to re-learn the lesson of height being a friend in aviation.
Drawing a website can be much harder than just coding it up, especially if lots of repetition is involved. This is a nice trick, but, given the fixed vocabulary, isn't really that useful to non coders (who could accomplish faster results with drag and drop under similar restrictions).

You are correct.

AKS (v6, Voloch, or Bernstein) is O(log^6(n)) with large constants. A nice polynomial but both large constants and a larger exponent than we'd like.

APR-CL is O(log^K(n)) where K = C*log(log(log(n))), which means for practical purposes it's in the range 3-5, hence has a lower exponent than AKS. As n goes to infinity it does finally exceed AKS, but at that point n is so large as to not be practically computable.

ECPP is conjectured O(log^5(n)) or O(log^4(n)) depending on algorithm used. Both Primo and ecpp-dj implementations show O(log^4(n)) growth though the latter doesn't scale well past 1000 digits due to a limited polynomial dictionary. Primo scales very well and has generated results for primes over 30k digits -- much larger than the others. I expect Pari/GP's ECPP implementation to eventually compete nicely when it's ready.

Miller-Rabin and BPSW are both O(log^(2+c)(n)), where c is between 0 and 1 depending on the multiplication method, so exponent 2 to 3. But of course these are probabilistic.

To my knowledge this has not changed recently. There haven't been substantial improvements to AKS since Bernstein's 2003 paper, which still results in an exponent of 6, though lowers the constant factors by many orders of magnitude. In 2006, Bernstein published a randomized version of AKS which runs in O(log^4(n)). So the same exponent as ECPP but also having the same "downside" of using randomization, and Bernstein notes that it was still slower than ECPP.

Larry Ellison should be shot for treason.

These traitors who want to make up crimes should be shot for treason.

They are negative members of society who do negative work.

Letting them live is unethical and immoral.

Shooting Larry Ellison to death is the right thing to do.

Pretending that crimes exist when there are terrorists who want to murder Americans harms the war effort, it means you're helping the terrorists.

Larry Ellison is making up crimes and charging Americans with them in order to help terrorists. This is why he must be shot to death.
Anything we can get out of our gravity well will have an orbit around the sun. If it didn’t you wouldn’t bother with a high impulse/low thrust engine like this.

Your momentum is what you’d be pushing against.

Specifically, using a force vector with a substantial component (greater than 50%) in the opposite direction of travel. It would push you out but also slow you down.

This kind of vectoring should be straightforward with a solar sail because it is flat. But if a magnetic field is perfectly spherical then there aren’t any angles. You’d have to make a fairly flat magnetic field to pull that off.
How hard is it to just boot an older kernel and rollback the default? Before I even thought about patching sensitive systems tonight the first thing our IT director asked was if I had a rollback plan. The answer? "Yes, boot old kernel, yum history undo [transaction id], reboot".

Always have a backout plan when doing upgrades, I'm just glad EL and derived distributions have an easy way to do it with yum's transaction history.

Hopefully you are right. You definitely should be right, and in an ideal world you are right, but I hope you also happen to be right in the world we live in.

Our security page is at https://about.sourcegraph.com/security. We have a security assessment that we can share with customers, but not one that we post publicly yet.

We have customers who run Sourcegraph on machines that are completely blocked off from the Internet and only have access to the specific IP ranges of their code hosts on the same network. You can set it up like that if you'd like, which would significantly reduce the risks without needing to trust any third parties (us or the security reviewer).

VS Code was my first not-Sublime, not-vim editor, but...I really, really missed my four-up display with four editors in a square configuration. I went to Atom because of that and because of VS Code's inability to keep a pane open even with no tabs (just because nothing's in it doesn't mean I want it closed).
Thanks. Theoretically it'd be possible for us to ship a static Go binary for everything except for our syntax highlighter and the (very convenient) bundled PostgreSQL and Redis. We'll monitor the feedback we get and see how to prioritize this. It definitely helps to hear that Docker did not work well for you.
To cost-effectively build a rail system in the US, you need to start with an FRA waiver (or avoid needing one with a fully separated system). Without one, you need special FRA-compliant trains that weigh (IIRC) 40% more than those designed to EU/Japanese rules and are of course at least that much more expensive.

Then you need to not take any federal funds, because if you do you'll be forced to buy everything from domestic manufacturers, which treat you exactly as you'd expect a captive audience to be treated. (This is why the US's shipbuilding industry is confined to government contracts and vessels that are below the minimum size to be covered by the Jones Act.) If you take federal money, also expect expensive and lengthy procurement grievances regardless of the merits. California probably has a similar state law, plus all sorts of others (e.g. CEQA), and the BANANAs are very experienced at wielding them.

Add all the union contracts that mandate excessive staffing, constant handing off of work between jurisdictions, etc. and you're paying ten times as much per kilometer vs. a comparable project in a high-wage EU country.

and

Now, somebody told me -- and I have no idea if this is bad for him or not, but perhaps it would be -- that where it says 'religion,' it might have 'Muslim.' And if you're a Muslim, you don't change your religion, by the way.
