If you didn't blacklist a particular string in your webapp, you did let it through, whether you intended to or not. What's your alternative? Do you want some container that you're running in deciding what your intent was, and what strings you should have blacklisted?

So, back to the real issue: The Constitution specifies the process that we have. "They didn't think of this" != "we don't have to follow what it says".
This is one of the most challenging parts of this problem. We’re in the middle of transitioning to a 3D model that will be able to tell the difference really well.

It's not about how "giant tech firms" drive politics, it's about how businesses drive politics. Lots and lots of businesses that are not "giant tech firms" impose themselves on the political process to receive tax credits.
Sounds sensible, but how does one ensure that the "lots of consumer options" part holds? There seem to be quite a few sectors with winner-take-all dynamics (e.g. social networking), and quite a few other sectors that under many conditions tend toward oligopoly or monopoly (e.g. insurance, banking, credit history reporting).

>0. No docs. There's plenty of odd and unexplained behavior that needs documenting - at least until stuff is less broken.

This is definitely an area we need to fix but to your other comment there shouldn't be any unexplained behavior. If there is it's a bug. Please report it here: https://repl.it/bugs

>1. Can't eval single forms from editor. Whole files only.

Meaning you want to highlight code and eval it? That's something we've seen requested before and would love to implement.

> 2. Can't eval anything from files other than main.

Yes so if you start adding files we switch to executing code via `lein exec main.clj`. We should probably drop the REPL in the same namespace as well. Do you know if there is an easy way to connect the REPL to a running program?

> 3. Lots of delays and hangs. Very slow. Every eval takes multiple seconds. Some repl starts take 30 seconds.

should be fixed now.

>4. Weird inconsistent behavior. Sometimes it will render function return values from editor eval to the repl, sometimes not.

This should be consistent. It's the first time we hear about this, can you please report it with some repro steps?

> 5. Once you drop a new file, stuff breaks in strange ways. E.g. main.clj no longer seems connected to the user namespace.

Related to point #2

> 6. Can't load other files, (load "other.clj") doesn't find it.

It works, you shouldn't add the extension in `load`. See working example: https://repl.it/@amasad/Load-example
You're wrong, and even if you were right that wouldn't argue against GP's observation.

V_cm: velocity of center of mass

V_l: velocity at left edge

V_r: velocity at right edge

R: radius of stone

w: angular speed of stone (CCW is +)

V_l = V_cm + R*w
V_r = V_cm - R*w
delta = 2*R*w

Even if it was dependent on linear speed / rotational speed, the only way to change # of turns / run is to change linear speed / rotational speed.

I agree! SQLite is very high quality and goes to greater lengths than any other software I'm aware of to ensure correctness and reliablity... but several people told me that SQLite has ways of improving on fsync and I was interested to find that isn't the case.

Edit: And I don't think testing actual power failures is realistic even for something like SQLite. Maybe if you are using SQLite and have a critically important application you'd do something like that, but it's too labor intensive in almost all cases.
Maybe. I'm not sure I'd call old books an "environmental nightmare." (They're made of paper, so in theory they can just be recycled -- or at least degrade back into natural elements?)

Meanwhile, the electronic parts in old Kindles have a bit of an environmental impact too -- and are probably harder to get recycled.

> As a result, the more relevant comparison (and one NASA did) is Scott's DNA before and after his time in space. That can tell us how many changes were picked up while in space. But as noted above, he would have probably picked up some mutations even if he sat here on Earth. And that's where his twin Mark, who did sit here on Earth, comes in. Mark's before and after gives us a sense of the normal background rate of mutation on Earth. Comparing that rate to Scott's tells us the important number: the degree to which this rate is elevated in the environment of low-Earth orbit.

I think it's okay if users could settle reasonably often, but unless the main chain's capacity is greatly increased, that won't be the case. If 7 billion people used Bitcoin today, the current ~4 TPS capacity would only be enough for each person to perform one transaction every 55 years.

If we adopted a 100mb block size, which is probably pushing the limit of what a normal server machine can handle, that would be just enough for each person to perform two on-chain transactions per year.

Most people would want to settle at least once per month, to collect their paychecks and move the money into a payment channel with a well-connected middleman. That doesn't seem feasible without sharding or some other solution to drastically increase the main chain's capacity.
I quite sure that's physically impossible with an oled display.

With the BSD license, you can fork it all you want, but you have to maintain that fork. For most people/companies the feature is not a competitive advantage. So they donate the code back, and it means they don't have to spend so much time maintaining a fork.

The way I see it is, I'm a working stiff that's used a lot of opensource in the past. I don't mind releasing things as BSD clause to help another working stiff, as long as it doesn't contain my company's "secret sauce."
I work for walmart ecommerce. There are some legitimate reasons for their issues. I could talk about them in depth (turns out when you crush the competition with the world's best logistics technology you end up with a whole bunch of systems from the 70s/80s that are hard to update). Walmart was literally using the internet before most companies even knew it was a thing, and unfortunately their internal network reflects that. Another example is inventory management and sales reporting. When these systems were built there was nothing like them in the world to centrally manage inventory and availability and create feedback loops. But in 2018 going to the back office to get a 100 page printout generated by a mainframe once a day hurts more than it helps. It's like we climbed mount everest and got farther than anyone before us before building a camp, and now we're kind of stuck in it and by the way people have found even better routes since then.

But anyways, customers don't care. It's not their problem. I've had orders cancelled for no real reason so I just give up and buy it on amazon. I've had search so bad I can't even find what I'm looking for so I just give up and buy it on amazon.

This really sums it up. I hope for more low cost, regionally accredited online universities in the near future. I'm particularly fond of University of the People's tuition free model (in which student's pay only for proctoring and assessment), and hope to see more developments similar to this but on a regional level. Or, alternatively, accreditation being awarded by universities if mastery of material is adequately and reasonably proven.

I find it sad that my favorite lecturers have all been online, yet I must pay the premium for services I don't necessarily want (namely physical, real time lectures in a geographically fixed location, and all the overhead associated with it) if I want 'real' accreditation.
> I'm entirely unwilling to credit this to the last year.

I'm in full agreement with that. This is a multi-stage procession of factors stretching back to 2010-2011. Economies, left well enough to their own and barring any extreme events, tend to improve/recover naturally.

I also think we're going to need more time to fully recover from the severe damage that occurred during the great recession. The complex effects and suffering of that kind of hit are well beyond the headline numbers and should be expected to take many years to heal. Economists are puzzled by wage growth not being higher (eg 3.5% vs 2.5% or similar) based on where unemployment is at - I think it's because we've only just got back to something close to a healthy labor market, whereas they think we're in the midst of something a notch or two higher than that already. To recover from economic trauma, it's not enough to just return to former headline numbers, you actually have to recover from the psychology damage (as is well known the great depression, which was of course even worse, left people traumatized for life). People behave differently after that kind of trauma, they make different choices, they fear risk more (which can lead to job stagnation, or fear to pursue better opportunities etc), and so on.

Trump may or may not unleash some so called animal spirits, in his rah rah behavior and policies (and or harm as much, from strategically poor thinking on trade), however the economy was grinding this direction likely regardless of anything the President might do. Very generally speaking, outside of insane policy settings (eg a corporate tax rate at 70%), if you manage to not upset/crash an economy for an extended period of time, and otherwise maintain a reasonable playing field, you'll see amazing economic gains over time leaving your people to their own pursuits. I regard our challenge right now, as being to sustain this tight labor market as long as possible to push beyond mere recovery and into fundamental generational improvement for everyone (everything from the median wage, to the median net wealth figures, to wages for blacks and hispanics, to what are considered minimum wage levels, and on to job benefits). The tight labor market, if sustained long enough, will claw back some of the share of profit toward labor, and I expect the wage & benefits increase over time can be considerable given the vast profit levels in corporate America today. Even if you held wages relatively steady and increased things like vacation time or maternity leave, it'd be quite an improvement.

Of course it’s not set up to handle this kind of thing, which is exactly why they do it. You may be legally in the right but have no real recourse.
The best thing I've ever encountered that encapsulated this was a Cap'N'Proto vulnerability, and the discussion here about it was enlightening as well.[1]

The highly condensed version is that the compiler optimized away an if block that was responsible for throwing an error as impossible to reach in correctly functioning code, when the whole purpose of that if block was to check that condition and error so that the program did not continue in an invalid state.

Specifically:

word* target = segmentStart + farPointer.offset;
if (target < segmentStart || target >= segmentEnd) {
throwBoundsError();
}
doSomething(*target);

(a simplified version of the actual code) was used to detect if target had overflowed (and thus target < segmentStart). The bug report goes on to explain:

However, as it turns out, pointer arithmetic that overflows is undefined behavior under the C standard. As a result, the compiler is allowed to assume that the addition on the first line never overflows. Since farPointer.offset is an unsigned number, the compiler is able to conclude that target < segmentStart always evaluates false. Thus, the compiler removes this part of the check. Unfortunately, in the case of overflow, this is exactly the part of the check that we need.

The post that's from (the sumbmitted article to the HN discussion I linked) is fairly accessible in my view. I highly recommend reading it.

Another discussion that probably has good info is this one.[2]

Did you have another language in mind? Eg Rusts safety means basically nothing if you are comparing it to Python or C#.
I don't buy the increased centralization argument. It usually comes down to the problem of orphan blocks / block propagation, a problem which has been made significantly better over time.

Even Satoshi was convinced that the block limit would be increased (it was only added for ddos protection reasons). He didn't even foresee the "block size debate" as an issue because it was never a debate. Of course the transaction throughput would be increased.

He literally said "Bitcoin never really hits a scaling cap".

Now, I'm not saying we should deify them or assume that they thought of every potential issue. But I think we should be very hesitant to deviate from their vision without an actual justification.

I believe that the community has been poisoned by people who don't even understand the original vision. As soon as Bitcoin Core / Blockstream got involved after Satoshi left the scene, everything went to shit.

Lightning is fundamentally an inferior user experience. You should be able to send money instantly without a third party. THAT was the point of bitcoin. Not to force people through a new type of financial institution (lightning hubs), solely to fix a manufactured fee problem.

According to their evaluation [1]:

"Maidenhead Locator System codes explicitly represent areas, and can be truncated in a similar way to Open Location Codes. The accuracy and length of the codes is similar, but Maidenhead Locator System codes include vowels and so the generated codes include words"

"Maidenhead Locator System codes are based on an interleaving of latitude and longitude, and so are truncatable, and nearby locations have similar codes. It is only formally defined to a length of 8 characters."

This suggests (when compared with their 'desired attributes' [2]) that their innovation over it is increased precision, and a different symbol alphabet to reduce profanity.

It's funny to think of all the people getting into Bitcoin in 2018 thinking they're "getting in early" when the math behind Bitcoin granted those early users nearly the entire supply for pennies and anyone buying in recently or in the future will exchange real capital in exchange for these tokens generated for nearly 0 capital effort.

* It is hard to stop users from destroying the formulas that make it work.

* It becomes slow when the row count starts to go up.

* You cant have user roles where some users is suppose to be able to see one thing and edit another and another user is to edit another thing and see something else.

* Data relationships are also mostly not there.
