I guess you know a lot more about this than I do. But maybe you are overestimating the Forth-like part?

> There is no "real parser" : the parser is like any Forth parser ie one word at a time separated by blanks.

> In fact, it is an Forth-like interpreter with immediate words and parsing words that use the stack structure a lot.

Looking at an example like

: catalan(n) n ifZero: [ 1 ] else: [ catalan(n 1-) 2 n * 1- * 2 * n 1+ / ] ;

(from http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Catalan_numbers#Oforth) it seems like, if what you say is true, then : must be a parsing word that not only reads "catalan(n)" but also somehow decomposes it in a way and sets things up such that the later call "catalan(n 1-)" is understood correctly even though "catalan", "(", and "n" are not separated by whitespace. It very much looks like there is some tokenization going on.

Also, is "ifZero:" really a separate message from "else:", i.e., or is "ifZero:" also a parsing word that looks if what follows is a well-formed expression followed by "else:"?

If you have parsing words everywhere, you have a parser. It may not be a classical parser where everything is written in one place, but it's a parser nonetheless.

I don't think there's anything wrong with implementing a Smalltalk dialect in Forth, with lots and lots of parsing words, and compiling the Smalltalk surface syntax to stack-based Forth code on the fly. That's lovely. It's just a shame to expose the underlying Forth in the surface syntax...
Same thing that happens anytime insurers go bust, policy holders eat some or all of the losses. It would then get political on if they're getting bailed out or not, but at least the taxpayers in general aren't on the hook, and if they are, then at least it's explicit.

But the thing is insurers are actually subject to reserving and reporting requirements such that they would more accurately price annuities, and quite frankly, no insurer is stupid enough to offer such lavish defined benefit pensions because they know it's not affordable...unless you have a lien on future taxpayer funds.
It seems a given that any search that does not include explicit "pornographic terms" should never return pornographic results.
Recently I have switched all my browsers to DDG and found myself almost never having to fallback to Google. It became pretty good, sometimes even better due to Google trying too hard to interpret what I meant.

Most notably, Nullpomino is the only non web Mac app that offers an interpretation of the Tetris the Grand Master ruleset, which is in my opinion the most interesting variation of Tetris worthy of attention in single player.
I remember being introduced to Solomon in Dec 2008 (a friend of a friend) and he came to my apartment in Los Angeles a few months later to demo his "dotCloud" project. He told me how he was using Mercurial to have a version-controlled repository of an entire root filesystem (including char and block device special files under /dev; he had to extend Mercurial to add support for them). I found this pretty cool and I could see the potential. He could check out multiple copies, make different changes, merge them, etc. It was basically a revision-controlled VM/container/system image. I was working on somewhat related technology at the time, http://qemudo.sourceforge.net/?, a web-interface to QEMU virtual machines where whole VMs could be created in <1 second by using copy-on-write disk images (QCOW.) Everyone I showed this to back in 2006-2008 was dumbfounded. The idea that VM creation could be a lightweight operation was brand new back then. Normally it involved copying a multi-gigabyte disk image. All the pieces of the tech stack were available to do this, but no well-polished product that combined them together existed.

Of course dotCloud ended up being a precursor of Docker itself, and took the idea of "lightweight easy-to-create container" to an even higher level. shykes if you are reading this, hi!

Great, the world is full of hypocrites.
Probably half of that are fake profiles, profiles made by people for commercial purposes or bots. If you make fake account and you will start wandering in the endless facebook steppes, you will notice that many of them are one post account that advertise or play games. The best ones are those with pictures of known or lesser known models to collect friends and sell such an account for dollars later. I have reported several hundred of such profiles, of which maybe 1/20 have been blocked rest is fine because moderators can't see difference between real life person and photo from google images in 20 accounts in a row...

your evaluation is different than the GP’s. your DDG results are usually “good enough” so you don’t check google until they aren’t.

since i’ve gone back to using google as primary i’ve found the results are better.

anyway you are both speaking anecdotally but arguing as if you speak for the general case. at the risk of making the same mistake, i bet that in the general case google is better.

I don't think so, provided it has the necessary resources to run everything in a single node. There are a few more moving parts which you won't really be using to any great extent.
Kubernetes does resource management; all cluster scheduler systems do. The difference between Kubernetes and Mesos for resource management is that resource requests and limits are optional in Kubernetes and mandatory in Mesos. It is best practice to specify resources in Kubernetes.

There were quite a few on the Tim Ferriss podcast that I enjoyed, but I did not have a great way to bookmark them.

I did share them with friends.

The Startup Chat with Steli and Hiten also had some great short episodes.

If you like Seth Godin, he has a new podcast called Akimbo that I have really enjoyed.

I think it is only apt and deserving that this post got flagged (despite having a positive amount of upvotes).

Perhaps I should write an article to demand that Hackernews changes its biased scoring system, so that underrepresented and repressed views like mine can also get the exposure they so much need.

I try not to get involved in these kinds of dangerous discussions but i just wanted to highlight your comparison to SafeSearch. Political correctness really does feel like having to walk around with SafeSearch on all my inputs and outputs, programmed to filter out an ever-changing and inscrutable list of wrongthink and wrongspeak from the real world. It’s so true—great comment.
The word "prove" has largely changed its meaning, it doesn't mean "test" anymore, although a few usages from previous centuries survive, such as military "proving grounds." So yes, it's very interesting that an old phrase that once meant 'a circumstance that challenges or makes one doubt a rule', gave birth to the modern phrase that means pretty much the opposite: "makes one more confident of the rule, in the end, after all." But the latter phrase exists, the former is part of history.

Language changes constantly, and meanings often flip from one century to another. The previous meaning of "prove" doesn't obviate the modern usage inside or outside of the phrase in question or turn the clock back. That particular horse escaped the barn, long, long ago along with tens of thousands of other changes in the last few centuries. "Probable" existed before probability theory did, and it didn't refer to odds or math; it just meant "respectable."

I could follow your own suit, I suppose, and compliment you by calling your comment "smart", since that word used to mean "painful" in olde english and you prefer the old ways. But I won't. (I'll just say your comment was interesting, and not quite the full story.) I roll with the common currency: language as it is. Print greatly slowed these sorts of changes, and the internet will slow them even more, of course, as the decades and centuries roll on.
Yes, I read the article. If anything, those paragraphs support what I just wrote.

Randall Munroe's done an edition of "What If" on a similar question:

"Which has a greater gravitational pull on me: the Sun, or spiders?"

The main conclusion is sadly not that exciting, but the digressions are fun as always.
2.2 billion isn't the total number of accounts, it's the number of "monthly active users"--and Facebook would probably be in much hotter water than they are now if they cooked the books on that number.
I love the general design. But as others noted, the scrolling behavior is WAY terrible.

Do "normal people" enjoy this type of scrolling behavior?
That does seem fairly convincing, though it also highlights the lack of precise theories about dark matter: what is it, and how did it get there? Hopefully these are answerable questions some day.

Too bad the website is so poorly designed. It's actually a nice read through the design decisions. My first glance at the IBM serif made me think it was more of a slab serif like Stymie Bold but the discussion of its use in smaller sizes foes a nice job of explaining the differences.
> What you just observed and described is that technology _is_ unbiased and robotic.

Just to get calibrated: what is an example-- real or imagined-- of technology that is biased?
The entire universe is having measurable("infinite" but countable) gravitational effect. You need to prove that "cumulative" effect is negligible.
Thanks very much for the feedback. Keys and values are separated by equals. Pairs and array items are separated by a semi-colon. I wasn't totally clear whether your examples were pairs or array contents sorry, but I've assumed they were pairs.

Hexadecimals work like JSON (4 digits)

key=\uXXXX

Semi colons are used for structure so need to be escaped or quoted:

## quoted example

a=";"

## escaped value

a=\;

## escaped value using escape tilde (better in DNS)

a=~;

The interpreter uses type inference, so this example will always be a number:

a=1

To force it as a string, you can quote it:

a="1"

I wasn't clear on your final question but unquoted 000 always represents null. So:

## this is null

x=000

## this is string 000

x="000"

Hope that answers the questions and thanks again for the feedback. If I've misunderstood or you’re not clear on anything let me know.

> The amount of time these tech leads spend coding necessarily expands

FWIW this is the exact opposite of what I've seen at a Fortune 500 software company. Literally the job requirement is to spend less time coding and more time mentoring.
I've found I needed to adjust how I search slightly, after switching to DDG. Mostly for local results, because they don't know where I am! Which is a feature as far as I'm concerned.
Doesn't "carcinogen" mean something a little stronger than "may increase risk of cancer"? Like I wouldn't call walking on the street a deadly activity just because it may increase your chance of death.

That's because the World Cup because it ended, not because we all decided that we didn't want to watch soccer any longer. That analogy would work if we all quit Facebook because Facebook shut off its servers. It doesn't work for people voluntarily quitting Facebook.
It does not cost me anything if someone else runs my software. I can still charge for it. The research and development is already paid for. The business plan goes something like this: 1) Buy software 2) Sell copies of it ... But it will not work good if other people start to make copies of it, so you make it a SaaS instead, having the software run in "the cloud" where only you can copy it.
From what I know there is push for more male nurses and some issues with doscriminatory attitudes towards male nurses.
True enough. But they also aren't participating in the net. They're using other people and companies' resources to do things rather than participating yourself.

And that's bad because it leads to centralization. And centralization leads to perverse incentives to spy and censor.

I'm actually using this font globally on my system (the sans-serif, monospace, and serif version), in Firefox, i3, terminal emulator, etc. They're great fonts, my favorite my far. They're just interesting enough to be a cool font, but not so interesting that things are difficult to read or look odd.

I Found This Flaw in DuckDuckGo
There certainly is an obvious reason for that; this is a quite peculiar search term - the use cases where someone would google "black girls" for a non-porn intent are comparably rare compared to cases where the likelihood of user clicking on a link is strictly correlated with nudity.

Would you have ever tried to search for "black girls" if you hadn't looked at this article? On the other hand, someone who prefers black girls in a sexual way would actually search for them many times. I can imagine someone in advertising searching for random pictures of black girls, but that's a niche case far outnumbered by people searching with sexual intent.

It would be reasonable to assume that any fair, objective algorithm in Google's (or anyone else's) possession that actually optimizes for expected user intent (assuming that they don't have enough privacy-violating information to assume that the user belongs to a smaller and thus less likely minority of black girls) would still bring up a bunch of porn when searching for "black girls", since most people querying for that (except when the searcher has read this article in the last 5 minutes) actually do want to find porn; but they have configured an override purely for PR reasons.

The objective algorithm would show reality as it is, but the current override masks it and tries to show an imagined vision of "reality-as-it-should-be". And that's why the problem is not solvable algorithmically - any algorithm learning from real data and actual user behavior would show the ugly, "undesirable" reality in all kinds of edge cases, and it can only be solved in a non-scalable manner by involving some manual political correctness / good taste / etc censorship.

How is that 'important'? Usually one writes sources. And that's what is maintained by the Smalltalk development environment. Since Smalltalk usually comes with the system sources there is also no need to decompile the bytecode.

OTOH some Lisps keep the s-expressions in the image and can run them directly via a Lisp interpreter.

I think what killed AIM, MSN, etc. was SMS. You had to meet your friends in person at school or be home in front of a computer to talk to your friends. With SMS you can talk to them anytime, anywhere. Then smartphones came out and apps like WhatsApp, FB Messenger and LINE took over.
This is comically bad.
It must be heaven.
This is what we get when we encourage rather than actively discourage new innovative ways to explain things. There are so many academic fields that could reduce their learning curve if they only embraced this idea rather than close off any and all attempts to deviate from the path of established rhetoric (which could cause huge cascades of innovation throughout all industries, making many fields look a lot more similar in their pace of growth to the front end world).
However, an interesting aspect of floating habitats in the Venusian stratosphere is that a terrestrial breathable gas mix (80% N2 / 18% O2 / 2% trace others) is a lifting gas that's about as effective as Helium here on Earth. (Venus's atmosphere is > 90% carbon dioxide, which has a significantly higher molecular weight than air.) And it's protected from solar UV and radiation to a considerable extent by the layers of atmosphere above it. So your entire balloon -- or, more likely, dirigible airship -- can be inhabited volume, rather than just a cramped gondola slung underneath.

Photovoltaic power might sound problematic at first in view of the long Venusian night (a single day lasts up to 116 Earth days), but at altitude there are strong jet streams and winds circulate around the equator roughly every hundred hours. So you're not stuck running on battery power for months on end, but you may need some maneuvering capability.

This is not to minimize the problems associated with activity in the Venusian atmosphere -- but it's not quite the impossible hell-hole it's been portrayed as.
Intent is how we judge the veracity of the information and whether it's slanted or not. I could tell you that Argentina sank a Chinese fishing vessel. Or I could tell you that Argentina sank a Chinese fishing vessel that was fishing in Argentine territorial waters. Both are true statements. One of them is incomplete and can lead you to judging the event differently. And unfortunately you, like most of us, aren't in a position to have personally witnessed the event. Thus you cannot objectively validate the veracity of what I have stated. So we have to rely on various heuristics, things like reputation of the speaker and what we understand about that speaker's biases and intention as well as historical context of the information presented.

Why would anyone use AIM when our primary device is a cellphone these days? iMessage, What’s App, and other apps provide more functionality that is right at my finger tips at all times.

AIM and AOL were popular when we didn’t have texts or even cellphones. It wasn’t so common to give kids cellphones early in those days.
Right. The title ought to be something like "English-Speaking Cultures Have a Striking History of Bias Against Black Girls". Or "... Women of Color" if that's your preferred language. Google Search is arguably just a mirror.

And ideally, that's what it should be. Otherwise, how do researchers know what's really there, and what Google makes up? But in fact, Google is far from that ideal. Maybe it was initially unbiased. But successive waves of fighting SEO, and responding to social pressure, have taken their toll. Not to mention the increasing focus on what's happening right now, forgetting the past, and showing searchers what they likely want to find.
Being relevant? Their architectures and systems are quickly rising in popularity, their compiler is making great strides, and overall they're actively breaking into the HPC market, which they haven't been dominating in a very long time. I'd say they're extremely relevant, just perhaps not to your specific skillset.
Google has and does change our society, it always has. It has always been implicitly premised on the idea that there are new and better ways to do things. Remember life before google maps? Before youtube?

If they are willing to rethink how people navigate (both the real world and the internet), etc - if they want to dramatically change how easily people are able to access information - why should they be bashful about nudging culture as it relates to how different subpopulations are represented?
