Well, one reason could be that Saudi-Arabia is planning so-called "smart" cities and Google wants to be in the center of it all (a UN driven program - IMO a potential tyranny sprayed in rose perfume).

D.

It really is a great successor to C++, with lots of new ideas taken from other languages too, and some very insightful language designers. I wish people would give it more of a chance and not stop at "it has a GC" and decide that this makes the whole language worthless.

It's been around for a while but hasn't gotten popular yet. I don't know if the weird license for the reference compiler is what slowed down adoption. At least for me, that's why I was hesitant to commit to D. After the license change, I've had so much fun with it.
Just for clarity, neither drug is FDA approved in the conventional sense (i.e. not approved to be sold). However, both SD-101 and also various anti-OX40 MAbs are in clinical trials.

Also for clarity (and responding to the concerns of the original questioner) it's highly unlikely that this combination will be patented by anyone - this isn't how patents are used in drug development. Anyone with access to the necessary drugs would --in theory-- be free to open a clinical trial to test this approach.

Sounds a bit like a chicken and egg problem.
I'm sure this quote gets spread around a lot at the lower floors of ponzi/MLM schemes.
The Raspberry Pi 3 model B uses the Broadcom BCM2837 64-bit A53 ARM processor and has been supported since Fedora 25.

Here's the link to the AArch64 server distribution:

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/2...

Having said that I agree the Pi is overdue for a refresh; it needs gigabit ethernet and usb 3 at a minimum but faster interfaces would be great. I think people execute these projects because the Pi is a great reference architecture that can be bought at scale and that has been proven by the large user community.
Why do you use this service? My dream for the site would be that the most value would come from the comments section where people could ask questions, discuss ideas, expand on the background of papers, or debate whether the results justify the conclusions. I'm also hopeful that much like HN, the site wouldn't track the newest and shiniest thing but also would highlight older work that is worth revisiting.
> the fact that you chat history exists in plain text on Telegram servers.

Source? https://telegram.org/blog/sessions-and-2-step-verification says:

"It allows you to set up a password that will be required every time you log into your account from a new device – in addition to the code you get in the SMS.

Be careful though: if you forget this password, you won't be able to access your messages from other devices."

This sounds to me that the chat history is encrypted with the password which doesn't leave my devices and therefore I'm not able to recover the history if I lose it. Since all clients are open-source, it should be possible to verify this.

edit: Okay the option for a recovery email could mean that they still have the password (or a key derived of it) on their servers - so basically plain-text.
I think it's Crystal lang, it have a very nice syntax and performance compared to go / rust / c++
Well C#? (and Android through Xamarin but I didnt use it so...)
Yes there is. The FDA calls it "breakthrough therapy".

For breakthroughs, 10 years before widespread availability would be a maximum. In late stage cancer, especially where options for treatment are few, rollout could be very fast, like 2-5 years.
Also:

- using umatrix to block requests to googleapis, google analytics, etc.

- dont use alphabets other products (youtube, hangouts, chrome, blogger, google earth, etc.)

- dont use frameworks from google or google associated companies (angular, gwt, tensorflow)

- dont use gogoles dns service if you happen to live in a opressive regime, that utilizes dns blocking

Doing this is perfectly possible, but you will isolate yourself very quickly. I use DDG since a while, and its an adequate search engine. But everything else... way too much hassle...

Spying and filtering are just an example. I think what really needs to be know is what laws must Google honor.

Certain behaviors we consider normal can get you imprisoned or worse. Will Google be bound to report such activities from either data it collects or just reporting on its own employees? Troubling is that the answer to such I can not fully expect would necessarily be disclosed.
I agree with your sentiment but come on. It's not like there are instances where GS would say "this seems slightly unethical, but so are we".

You're implying they ever admit wrongdoing.
That or they're jealous.

b. Java has introduced streams, lambdas etc.. has any other language shown this type of adaptation to times ?

"Adaption to times"? Lambdas are older than Java itself. It was outdated in v1.
Because someone who understood the available resources and the actual user needs performed an analysis and determined that this would be sufficient. Commodity hardware eliminates the need to spend a year or two engineering a custom board, dealing with vendor BSPs, etc. It also eliminates the FTE that would be required to support all this.

They could also have chosen to use a reference design from another manufacturer but it's basically like using RPi but 100x more expensive. There's a good case to be made that this is the most cost-effective design for what they're trying to accomplish.
It looks, on the surface, to be a sort of massive fraud on the issuance of tether, which also propped up the price of Bitcoin and a lot of other coins, as a couple of billion in fake liquidity was pumped into the market.

It's too early to tell what the exact story is, but it's certainly the case that the tether company's promises that they get frequent, professional audits are an out-and-out lie. I, personally, don't believe they have billions of dollars in the bank to back up their tokens, either.

Various authorities are starting to take interest, as are more mainstream media sources (like the NY Times).

I think if Tether and Bitfinex are above board, now is the time to release a statement and some pretty compelling evidence.

Can this really be put in the same league as what a free solo climber is doing? Most man-made structures are designed to be climbable, with safety gear, for people to maintenance. Rock climbing, on the other hand, forces one to sort out a way to make the climb.

As far as having a "head" for heights, I would agree that free solo climbing and climbing buildings is similar. I wonder how well this guy would do on real rock?

On a personal note, heights above which I will die from the fall are all the same. 100 feet or 1000 feet are all the same. Now between 20 and about 50 feet, that is where it is scary. That is if I don't have a reasonable backup such as deep water or a rope.
I think you may he missing the parent's point, which is he's using the printer to speed up his design loop. This has heen one of the biggest driving forces I've seen in the commercial use of 3d printers. Sure you can outsource your 3d printing to get much better and higher volume printing, but when you're designing you don't need volume, and often don't need quality either. Quick turn around often is key in design work, and having an in house printer can really reduce total turnaround time.

Smalltalk is definitely underrated. It can be an extremely productive language, and has built-in capabilities you won't find in any "mainstream" language that make coding in it very pleasant. :)
I tried it out and it wasn't very usable. You can never have two options reconvene at the same node. And there's no built-in option for adding chance or variables to decisions. I decided to start building my own framework for these options.

My understanding from the article is that the problem isn't that the price was propped but that they created fake tether to do so.

By fake, I don't mean the tether wasn't real, but that it was not tied to dollars.

So they claimed tether was tied to dollars but they produced a lot of it to buy up Bitcoin and the fear is that they didn't wait for dollars to come in but just made the tether out of... well, ether ... and used that to prop up bitcoin which they converted into actual wealth.
I would say that the use of Premier is easily double of Final Cut Pro (Probably around 50%) with people that make money from video editing. I would say that consumer use I would be surprised if Final Cut Pro would even reach 15%.
I think its easier to say that because of the past history of moving targets with JS. The "aha" moment you get with React is it abstracts things in a very easy to understand way with JSX at its heart. You then find it quite easy to move from React Web to React Native to React VR or whatever other thing they cook up because its just simple to look at abstraction without the hairy object boilerplate that you are normally subjected to.

Maybe React itself is just another flavor but the JSX paradigm is really the goodness I think more frameworks could use which cough cough was done by Microsoft a long time ago.
I'll say PHP because it's so underrated that I'm somewhat afraid to mention it here.

It's far from the most sane language I've ever used, and as much as I love it, I'll admit there are parts of the syntax that straight up hurt my soul. Yet, despite all the drawbacks, if I need to write something fast, PHP and a micro-framework (I like Slim) is always my first choice.
2017 California Autonomous Vehicle Disengagement Reports
If SV has a true moral compass, that was so outraged by Travis Kalanick sitting on Trump's tech advisory board [1] they should be truly angry and outraged by Alphabet and its leadership for this move.

Saudi Arabia, a country that has barbaric set of laws against women, and domestic workers [2] [3] which essentially the type of slavery we have not seen broadly in centuries.

A country with very negative human rights records [4] that should be sanctioned by UN [5]

It's so unthinkable that Alphabet, the "Don't be Evil" company would even consider that.

It does not even make business sense, as the country is in the midsts of internal clashes [6] and not very stable nor it has any human capital that can help google [7]

So, I'm lead to believe it's trading Saudi money for Google's brand to help create PR. So basically Google is used to promote evil!

I would say Erlang and OCaml are compared to Go despite being in a similar space and having particular advantages. It seems like Go gained traction over them largely due to Google's backing and having a Python-like philosophy of aesthetics - namely simplicity and readability over sophisticated features - and it seems like many Go developers came mostly from Python.

You can take my perception with a giant grain of salt though: I mostly write Scala these days, which has to be Go's polar opposite of popular languages in terms of design philosophy.
Perhaps alt-right views are expressed less frequently in the Netherlands because people aren't afraid to call someone who expresses those views a fucking moron unlike Britain where they are.
The nose is electrically connected to the rest of the car. If the car has a potential difference to ground the driver will already be at the potential of the car. The point is you make sure you're not touching the ground and the car at the same time as that would make you a convenient current path.
I think you're simplifying too much the role of a recruiter.

I've had some very good coffees with recruiters that gave me a lot of insight in the tech industry, some roles that were a match, weren't. They asked a lot of questions about myself and from there could find roles that would match where I wanted to be.

Recently I sent a CV to a company for an open role I saw because I wanted to work in that company. The internal recruiters of this company saw that my CV was a better match for a role that I hadn't seen announced. They sent it to another department / followed through.

Recruiters that only match buzzwords provide very low value but good recruiters can be career changing.
Maybe the most important question: did you end up making (good) money, i.e. was it worth it going there looking back?

Yes- just like you are saying, the intention with the Mechancial Laser Show was not to maintain a constant laser speed, but accelerate and decelerate the laser gently. You can see the mechanism by which that is done by pausing the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dtBUiaAqRE

Since the time taken to travel to each next point is constant, closer points together mean slower speed and spread out points mean high speed. You can see that the laser will slow down for taking the corners and speed up for the straights. There was no math behind this- I just eyeballed it but you could write software/math to help you determine the perfect spacing/acceleration.
Respectfully, it's a comment in jest not deserving of such logical scrutiny.
This is perfect for listening to articles while running or commuting!

While this does happen, and sometimes things obvious to a practitioner get patented, obfuscated patents are contrary to the purpose of patenting.
My understanding of full stack is frontend + backend web development. Sysadmin/devops is it's own discipline.
Genuinely curious - does the need for logic programming often arise in general software development? Or do I have a narrow view of what Prolog is good for? (I've worked a few toy problems with Prolog back in uni, but don't actually know the language very well.)

i think there's a big difference between football and wingsuit BASE jumping.

Football is "accepted" as safe to do by children and parents are expected to purchase expensive gear and are left in the dark about potential for long term injury.

nobody is sending their kids out to BASE jumping school before they are 18 and can make their own decisions.
Is it though? I work in the Danish public sector which is mostly windows based enterprise and 80-90% of our infrastructure runs on JAVA with no change in sight. Hell, most influential people will straight out laugh at the notion of JAVA losing steam. It did dip for a while some years back, but these days it’s frankly the strongest I’ve ever seen it.

Of course it’s not popular for hobby projects, startups, academia or data science, but those fields are frankly dwarfed by enterprise on the job market.

C# has a stronger hold in the private sector, but scince most of the public software is produced by the private sector even there JAVA runs strong.
What mechanisms in Ethereum protect it from this sort of market manipulation?
I've been banging this drum lately on HN too. Spring Boot makes Java fast, easy, and simple. Yes, you still have to install a JVM on your image, but there are plenty of management script out there to get a container or VPS running.

For people out there that look at all those getters and setters with contempt: you don't need them for your JSON objects. Just use public. The frameworks will still serialize and deserialize without issue. Use JSON annotations to define what a valid message is. Yes, you'll need a mapping layer between your JSON/inbound messages and your domain, but you need that anyway, otherwise your API is brittle.

JPA + Spring can lead to fast DB code and development time that rivals NoSQL with Postgres. You can have it autogenerate the DB during dev time with each boot, then create Liquibase migration documents for true devops stability.

After working with Go for a month, I really think Java just does things right. Servlet API is simple. Spring makes it easier. Transactional management + AOP is wonderful. So many cross-cutting concerns allow you to properly encapsulate and apply the logic in a few AOP. You just can't do that with GO without a lot of compiler work.
Lessons Learned from My Time Running a Web Agency
I really enjoy Ruby, Lua, and Lisp.

I find it interesting none of them are really used a ton in industry, but I've written my own Civ V and Civ VI mods (and helped other people with theirs). Lua is pretty much a pleasure to work with everytime.

Lisp is one of those odd balls, that is both prelevant, but also rarely seen in industry. My primary interaction has been with Scheme, Racket, and elisp. Wiring modes for Emacs is always fun (in elisp) and amazingly short, consise, and powerful.

Ruby is a dream, mostly I use it for Rails, but the whole ecosystem is well thought out and worth the time (what little you need) to put in. I've setup websites at scale in Ruby on Rails, with components written in Ruby inline C to make it much faster, an NLP library and much more (https://projectpiglet.com/). Better yet, I've seen non-programmers pick it up in a few weeks. Honestly, when I hear someone is developing an app in Springboot (Java) or some other webframework, I'll often show them they can complete their whole app in a couple days with Rails.
being a majority-male company (70:30 so not exactly "male-exclusive") means that Google is like Saudi Arabia how exactly?
NewtonScript was certainly underrated. Its use of frames with persistence (Soup) with queries was eye opening. I also loved the ease of UI development due to a proper prototype-based framework.

A further development of F-Script should have been the successor to Objective-C instead of Swift. It was fun and its APL influences really complemented the Objectice-C / Smalltalk collections. It also respected Objective-C conventions.
Stack (haskellstack.org) has pretty much solved the problems associated with building directly from Hackage though. The biggest pain when developing Haskell code continues to be the lack of good debugging facilities.
I agree with the answer of Java, but saying "object oriented [...] is the best way", "has any other language shown this type of adaptation to times", "etc.. don't have equivalent performance", etc is going to get you some flak. I don't agree with any of those statements.

As someone who has done a lot of Scala and Kotlin, I appreciate Java because I can anticipate the bytecode that will be generated. This is important to me on low-level JVM projects (profilers, fuzzers, etc).
what is in your opinion the reason why bitcoin is failing? For the way I see it, it's because it lacks real world applications and value. I know Ethereum has it's own contracts etc... but I don't see how it really solves the base problem. Who's going to use this currency and why? Are the contracts enough to keep it afloat forever? From what i've heard they are not without issues.

Yes, but it's hard to say yet how much different the therapy process might be in humans. The treatment regimen could differ from mice significantly. (Human tumors may be buried a lot farther away from the surface than in a mouse, and thus, harder to dose accurately with a long needle.)

It's also not clear what toxicities were incurred with this therapy (in mice), which is a significant concern for the approval of any drug in humans.

If you were leaning towards an open space, I'd suggest including private rooms somewhere in the plan as well (and not dinging people for wanting to ensconce themselves therein).
This is totally unfounded...stop spreading FUD without legitimate sources.

Yeah. Haskell is so imba people don't believe you when you tell them :)

It's understandable to show skepticism about "the new shiny thing" (although Haskell is > 30 years old) because most new shiny things turn out to be not that great after all. I've been struggling to communicate the "no, but really" distinction without much success to other people and it's frustrating.

(...for purely egoistical reasons though, I don't really care what people are using as long as I get to use a sane language in my day job, which is currently not the case.)
Does Ethereum has any immunity from pump-and-dump and other market manipulation schemes compared to Bitcoin or your comment has nothing to do with the subject?
1) These drugs are already being tested in humans

2) The pathway from first-in-man to approval can be a lot shorter than 10 years for promising drugs or combinations. Pembrolizumab, for example, took roughly four years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pembrolizumab#History
