Has anyone read his sister’s book? It’s the most awful piece of nonfiction I’ve ever read. Reading that book was the first time I realized the game is rigged in favor of the rich, there is no way you can be that dumb and still get ahead... also she went to Harvard too.
It looks strange to me, too. It looks like they using typescript in their examples, probably to be more descriptive.
A teenager would have hidden those lapses.
Yet it didn't take 1000 of them to fix it on other OSes. Why are we even debating 1000 devs anyway? That is hardly the point and throwing more and more bodies at a programming problem is hardly ever a solution, nor one I proposed in my original comment.

It's ultimately a matter of talent, resources, and proper management. Which is hardly an insurmountable problem for a major tech company which decades of experience solving world-is-ending bugs.
Thanks for clarifying. Fun fact, in the years since "person-centered language" ("person with X") has now also fallen to the euphemism treadmill, as modern advocates say it stigmatizes the disability X by separating from the person as a modification, instead of accepting it as part of a respected whole person.
> something from google not working on firefox.

Call me paranoid all you want, but that is their plan. just like it was microsoft's plan for nothing on IE4/6 to work on netscape. Heck, a third of my corporate sites have DHTML popups saying "Use chrome" when i reach them with firefox already.
Three in the UK do the same thing and operate in 71 countries so far, however I get 13 GB of data instead of the unlimited. EE and O2 apparently offer similar deals.
For autocomplete you can find plenty of evidence. For Google TGIF, that’s what I heard from googlers over some beers, so that claim will have to remain, as you put it, “loose”. It would be kind of strange if there was an official Google PR confirmation for something like that.

"Today, we’re introducing GVFS (Git Virtual File System), which virtualizes the file system beneath your repo and makes it appear as though all the files in your repo are present, but in reality only downloads a file the first time it is opened."

No, git works fine - that looks like an Engineer's bodge to account for an inadequacy elsewhere.
FYI, the examples are partially written in Typescript not ES6... so they should look foreign.

Interesting that so many of the top sites are "individual". I always thought that self promotion was shunned on places like HN, but I guess if you do it in the "right" way, it can be a successful tactic.

Argh, enough. Cambridge Analytica and friends didn't have secret knowledge. People need to stop lifting up these big data woo casters and weigh their impact on the election beyond their actual ability.

Machine learning/machine vision just killed a person on a well lit street. You people need to calm down on the thinking that Silicon Valley data scientists have figured out everything others haven't other than how to boost ad dollars (and even that is in dispute as recent articles on Hacker News have pointed out.)
In that case each origin is not really getting an isolated cookie jar.
The articles for those sites aren’t necessarily being submitted by the people who run them. In most it’s likely others who found the content useful. I suppose if you squint anything you post on your own site is self-promotion, but that’s not the impression I get from your comment. Am I mistaken?

Systematically does not mean universally. It means, at a minimum, that their interests diverge non randomly.

Saying that rich and nonrich have different interests is not controversial, except to those intent on denying what is obviously true.

Either you are ill equipped to engage in a discussion on this topic or you are being utterly disingenuous; certainly you have misrepresented what I have said in ways that push a rather tired narrative, one trotted out every time someone pushes back on the status quo of enormous wealth disparity by noting that it has serious negative consequences.
It's partially true the US pays them to keep the warheads separated and hopes that it pays the Generals more than the Taliban does and with what has been happening to the Pakistani army in the past 10 years there isn't much difference between many of them and the Taliban anymore.

But those warheads are not what we in the west would define as warheads they are much closer to the cartoon version of a nuke you would imagine.

All their missiles are based on N. Korean or Chinese designs with the Shaheen 1 being the only one who's actually in somewhat operational ready condition.

The Shaheen has a range of only about 900KM and with a nuclear warhead that range is estimated to be closer to 700-750KM which means to use their Nukes the pakistanis would have to drive them to the border pretty much.

Beyond that they have the Shaheen 2 has about 2000 KM and is a 2 stage missile It's basically 2 Shaheen 1's Chinese M9's but it's not clear what it's operational status is or how much trust Pakistan has in the system.

My take on this is a little bit dumb, but, once upon a time, many moons ago, I thought I understood the CPU I acted upon, I could peek and poke and look up what was where. I mostly wanted faster, but what i got was more complex.

Is there a way to just get faster without the complexity. What would a new cpu architecture and OS look like if we started again? is there room for open hardware to save us all?
Can you give me an example of redditors looking for dating advice being politically motivated to vote for politicians who are in favor of violence and oppressing women and minorities? Where are you getting this information and what exactly are the facts to back this conjecture?

You're drawing a very tenuous thread between all of these different concepts. It is FUD until there's evidence of this actually happening.
They also realized non-CS researchers don't have the time, expertise, budget, or interest in writing optimized ML libraries.

> It wouldn't be victim blaming to criticize a company that is breached because they didn't take compsec seriously.

If you then turned around and argued that the hacker somehow wasn't in the wrong because of the victim's attitude, yes it would be.

Victim blaming has nothing to do with someone's responsibility to others, and everything to do with taking a conversation about whether an attack is justified, and shifting that conversation to instead suggest "well, dumb people like that deserve to be taken advantage of."

Oracle contested that Google infringed their IP. "They should have known we were gonna sue them as soon as we smelled the money" is not compelling evidence for that claim.

Much in the same way, saying "Johny should have turned off his attitude and just given us the money" is not compelling justification for a mob hit.
Sure! And that's a legitimate service to offer to some people. But that's part of the giant gap between true autonomous taxis and what Waymo has even claimed they're doing.

I think the difference is important because people here frequently assume that true autonomous taxis will be here in short order. In contrast to experts who believe it is likely to be a decade or two away. E.g.: http://rodneybrooks.com/my-dated-predictions/
The computer science sense of "trivial" comes from the mathematical sense, "Related to or being the mathematically most simple case. More generally, the word "trivial" is used to describe any result which requires little or no effort to derive or prove." [0]

And of course "trivial" is related to "obvious" when used in a math lecture.

>If the absurdity lies in the lack of history

Well of course it does, because China's claims to Taiwan are fundamentally historical. The US claim to the mainland US is not based on history but on de facto control, so history is not an injuction. But the PRC's propaganda line is "Taiwan is part of China" which is both presently and historically false. China captured Taiwan from the Dutch in 1662 and held it for two centuries before losing it to the Japanese. It is not quite as mad as Argentina's claim to the Falklands, but that's a low bar. With Macau or Gibraltar, a case can be made that they're owed back. With Taiwan it's dumb.

>that is not at all what they wrote

I responded to this:

>For enemy it should have also actually done something

I demonstrated "something".
I'm not saying it's healthy, I'm just saying it's how it is. I also didn't mean to threaten your safety, but I think it's reasonable to caution anyone against being associated with "alt-right" stuff, because it is a safety concern.

For example, if you're teaching your kids that sitting in class instead of walking out over gun control is the right thing to do, you might think that makes sense. Why protest for something that you don't believe in? But you're probably hurting their chances at being socially accepted, and there's a good chance the other kids will think your kid is likely to be the next school shooter simply by their lack of protesting. Sitting out is now more dramatic than joining the protesting already in progress.

If you teach them that questioning the sentiment of the day is healthy, they're going to end up being identified as sexist, or racist, or a likely shooter, or whatever acceptable slur would describe the most perverse interpretation of their belief. I'm pretty sure Damore's intentions were good, but do you think his questioning of diversity initiatives was helpful to his career or his social life?

The way these movements are shaping up, you can't be neutral. If you're not part of the perceived solution, you're part of the perceived problem, and you're going to be treated as a problem. But if you fall in line with the mob, you'll have more opportunities for advancement, networking, and community support.

edit: Btw, I upvoted all of your comments. But you'll notice my suggestions for censorship are being upvoted while your cautionary tale about freedom is not... HN is illustrating my point for me.
>An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

What does that quote have to do with MAD, the doctrine specifically designed to prevent tit for tat behavior from escalating into a full blown war?
I'm... intimately familiar with generics in Swift. :) Like all systems it has trade-offs, but the decision it makes line up with the decisions you said Go wanted to also make.

In any case, that specific concern doesn't apply to Go, since it doesn't have overloading.

> Repeating that Go ignores "already researched and widely-implemented solutions" is getting old, really

Sure, but that still isn't the point of this discussion: it's not what people should be doing, or the underlying truth, it's what people are doing in practice and they are complaining about the Go team seemingly ignoring the past 40 years of programming language development, not complaining that they're not inventive enough.
That sounds human, albeit confusing. Very cool!
If you're saying it's an arms race, sure, nobody's denying that. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't work, it just means that in general and over time particular markets are mostly at equilibrium.
Can't reply to your other comment about WONTFIX for MDI, because the thread went too deep.

I get your point about having to wait for 7 years, but let's just scroll down to the bottom:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7379#c118

"...we should finally close this report as WONTFIX. This has been discussed to dead and there are plans for a user interface that will solve the problems that the MDI approach is supposed to solve."

and then:

"We are currently working on changes to the user interface that will solve the problems that the MDI approach is supposed to address. Window-in-window is definitely not part of this plan. It's not going to happen."

So it wasn't just closed as WONTFIX, it was closed as WONTFIX, because users requested MDI, and instead tabbed interface was introduced.
For the first two examples, there's some unfamiliar syntax because they added Flow[1] typings to the examples (not TypeScript as other comments are suggesting).

What about the syntax do you find confusing? The rest is all just ES6 + class properties.

So that others can play with the data, here's a reverse engineering of the BigQuery OP used to create the leaderboard:

Not really a fair assessment. The 4 larger mobile providers are spilt between GSM and CDMA in the past CDMA phones wouldn’t work abroad, except maybe China. You would even have to buy a CDMA version of the iPhone. The big 4 just buy up all competitors and usually one tries to buy one of the others.

Geographically the US is much more expansive than the EU and more robust.

I would not compare infrastructure I would compare the regulations. The telcos created the tech and most likely the laws.

which Enzo Ferrari called the most beautiful car in the world - it was also tough competition for a Ferrari at 1/5th the price.

So they had a sporting history which like other car companies they're now resting on.

They also had a history as being the car for the self made man. The MkII was the car for bank and train robberies at the time. You'd meet a lot of Jag owners in jail...
Gearing. 99.9% of driving happens below 100kph, so you optimize for that. You start reaching the mechanical and electrical limits if you spin up the motors that fast. You could certainly get a lot faster, but you'd lose out on low-end torque. Either that or you put a gearbox in, but that adds complexity + weight.
If it's for power generation, absolutely.

>But the new reactor can also make plutonium

and

>It has the potential to make 25 to 30 megawatts of electricity, enough to power a small town. The plant could also potentially produce about 20 kilograms of weapons-grade plutonium each year, according to the Institute for Science and International Security

I'm not convinced it's for power generation to be honest.

The last set is specifically interesting for your wish.
Right, I mentioned the rational actor bit, although fortunately people have been rational enough so far and in aggregate. I think some leaders with nukes aren't very stable/bright too but I don't think even they are irrational enough to start a nuclear war. If you're alluding to Trump/Un, Trump knows that a first strike against NK would result in a huge and terrible war with China, and Un knows that a first strike would result in his and his country's destruction.

The perfect information point is important too. However, historically we've still been extremely lucky. When false alarms or faulty data have indicated that another country had used nukes against the other, the defender has never fought back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Aerospace_Defen...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Arkhipov

Really I think MAD is the best option for us, given that nuclear technology exists and can't be unlearned from the world. How does one enforce a denuclearized world without military might? The only solution I can think of is something like a mutual carte-blanche to investigate other countries' facilities for evidence of nuclear proliferation. Given that this represents a considerable risk for things like military bases or facilities producing new military technology, I have a hard time believing countries like China, Russia, and the US would be ok with this.
Well, let's take a breath and be grateful that even MS can mess something like this up.

One dev or 1000, who cares, whatever they chose did not work particularly well. Are "they" to blame? Yes. Are the engineers to blame? Probably not. Is management the culprit? We don't know.

What's left? Next time your customers bug you about some random downtime caused by an overworked datacenter intern, don't feel stressed. Take the time to remember that even if you would've had billions of dollars, years of experience and thousands of employees, you could've messed up, just like MS did :)
It is Flow. We were trying to be descriptive for folks who already use it (like we do at FB) so they know the intended type signatures, but the same changes apply if you skip the types. Sorry it came across as confusing.

5 myths and truths about coding bootcamps
most serious US math programs have honors sequences that are aimed at students who intend to go for a PhD and who are often starting with post-calc-I/II/III courses from the very beginning. tao says right in the introduction that this text is for such an honors sequence at UCLA. so, yeah, this book is explicitly written for undergrads who are being groomed to enter elite graduate programs because they did the work (before college) to fit that profile.

in the US, i believe the real analysis course for non-honors courses at R1s is often based on something like ross, abbott, or bartle & sherbert, whereas for non-R1s (where most math majors will be teachers) it may be based on something like lay or wade instead. these books are more accessible to students with less mathematical maturity.

i think what the reviewer is saying is that it would be a mistake to use this book in one of those non-honors courses with a poor faculty-student ratio. even if you do have some students who have the interest and ambition, you'd be doing a disservice to the rest. you'd be exceeding the level of interest for most and unable to support anybody adequately.
FWIW they totally duked it out in the Northern/Mongolian region. But they kept it quiet so we all forget. China also pushed heavily into India during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
