Whoever this 15 year old is, it looks like he's wandered into the neckbeard section of Youtube.
Looks like there’s a recent proposal for them:

I think it speaks to the complication people add to distributed applications when something like CORBA is on the table without an actual evaluation if it is really needed. It is most definitely not the only solution.
Ordering implies nothing about distribution.

You could have a system where winner-takes-all, and the second best on down starves. You could also have a system where the upper half is rewarded with 10% more than the lower half. Both of these could be described as meritocratic.

Beware of those who use the label of meritocracy to advocate for winner-take-all, as well as those who denounce the concept by equating it to winner-takes-all.
Well, for what it's worth, I thought your point was valid and well made. I think it represents a strong critique of the oft-stereotyped "Silicon Valley tech culture" - it's the same tendency that leads people to try and "optimize" their social relationships, not realizing the optimization is the wrong instinct to have when it comes to dealings with other people.

You don't really gain anything by switching between those perspectives, or by dismissing one of them, by your premise.

I don't care if you call yourself a buddhist or a "happy nihilist" so long as you live with yourself and interact with others as if you had a basis for hope. As for your assertion that "You don't really gain anything" -- hope is something truly valuable to gain or to lose.

In other words, "Don't be an asshole, selfish or otherwise."

I understand your averse reaction to the root comment in this context (and posted a moderation reply above), but the site guidelines do ask "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize," and this surely isn't the strongest plausible interpretation.

Thanks! Can we help move that proposal forward?
Agreed, and that's why Distributed Erlang works the way it does.

However, it's unfair to criticize CORBA for one of it's design tenets. It was designed for interop, hence the name.

Many solutions for transparent distribution were around the same time as Smalltalk. Look at systems like Eden, Emerald, etc.
>>For one thing, the notion of a "beginning" might not actually have a concrete meaning. There may simply be no time before "time zero."

Is not relevant to the end (or not) of the everything.

>>The universe may well unfold in a series of such incomprehensible remixings in a way analogous to Roger Penrose's 5-way symmetrical tiling, where an infinity may be "covered" by a predetermined non-cyclic pattern which never repeats.

Is usefully distinct from an un-ending universe for philosophic purposes... how?
I concur on the MIT edX Probability course. I spent at least 15 hours a week on the exercises but it was well worth it.
The initial 2018 target was 500,000 cars (forecast made mid 2017).

Today, they are on track to make 120,000.

When this particular company says that their 2020 target is 1M cars, it's a totally meaningless statement.
this is interesting to ponder on, it is clearly over my head because I am not sure why this would cause an issue, even if they reused some of the same nodes. in theory if anything could be gained with tor over tor why would that same information not be attainable in a single tor instance? why is information considered exposed if any node is reused?

>It is not clear if this is safe. It has never been discussed.

why not discuss it now?
What can I say? We’re a team of hackers. It’s not our goal to solve every problem immediately, just the ones facing us and our developers today. We wanted an abstraction simple enough to ship to our community and customers but robust enough, conceptually, to be built out into a fully expressive language. (Hence FaaSlang.)

ESDoc is JavaScript specific, but the concept of relying on comments to infer types is not, nor is the JSON format we store function execution information in. :)

(Well, I mean, we rely on JavaScript-translatable types — but can create parallels to other runtimes and languages.)
Ah the old "Peterson is a con artist/fraud", aka "I automatically disagree with what he says because he's not a left-wing atheist" or some slight variation of that.

The more people are told to stay away from his work for such intellectually lazy reasons (such that he's inflammatory, offensive, etc, primarily pushed by journalistic hit pieces), the greater the odds of the uninitiated taking a look at his work and finding some value in it. Ironically, the dynamic somewhat resembles your overly religious parents on that damn devil's music.

Note: "finding value in his ideas" does not correspond to agreeing with everything he says. There are many valid critiques of Peterson. It also does not mean that you discard everything he says because you disagree. These strike me as symptoms of lazy ideologically driven thinking, most often political, and particularly speaks volumes of the left vs right divide in America.
Most people just don't care about the voice assistant on their phones, despite the efforts of Google, Apple and Samsung to make them care. Using a voice assistant in a public place still marks you out as some kind of weirdo. Siri is great for setting timers, that's all that matters really.
That's a bizarre question. Why are you asking?
That was the first MOOC I took as well. It turned out to be an excellent entry point for databases. Perhaps because it was one of the first Stanford MOOCs, the quality of it was high.
Interesting. It looks like it took a very long time for them to get to v1.0. I used SailsJS a few years ago when it was a relatively new-kid-on-the-block framework.

But if I remember correctly, the creators of SailsJS went through YCombinator program with a product called Treeline

https://treeline.io/

Not sure what happened to that product, but I do remember when it was released, there was a concern about what would happen to SailsJS.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe in terms of framework on NodeJS, Express is... the most widely used and sufficient enough for Rails-like MVC?
PDO on NeXTSTEP was also quite good. I haven't really looked, but I'm pretty sure it survives in mac os.
Sorry, your > 3yo Mac Pro has a critical security flaw in our Apple CPU... sucks to be you, buy a new one.
>universal background checks

This would be worth doing.

>stricter controls on what can disqualify some people from owning a gun

Possible but it would depend on what you wanted to disqualify people for.

>mandatory training and licensing

I don't think this is reasonable or politically feasible.

>restrictions on ammo purchases

Not sure what good this would do in reducing gun deaths. You would be hitting target shooter pretty hard for not much gain.

>restrictions on ... magazine size

I don't see how this would be very helpful and always strikes me as something advocated for by people who don't understand guns very much. It's part of why you see such opposition to it.
I used rails about 3 years with multiple versions, and recently started to work on Node.js. Typically pure express-based websites tend to become quite messy, at least the projects I worked on. Started a new site with Sails.js 1.0 (beta) recently. It's definitely not as solid as rails. But overall I am pleased so far, except some shortcoming, ex. the lack of out-of-the-box migration system.
This works both ways. I am an American, was married to a Russian girl 1994 through 2005, she started stepping out on me in 2003, although I never cheated on her, wrecked out family, tried to have me thrown in prison, I was barely able to keep my relationship solid with my only son.
During the marriage I made a lot of travels throughout the former USSR and I noticed lot's of infidelity - - in fact, it was like a National Sport among Russians !

DRAM controllers used to be on the motherboard, not the CPU. That changed for AMD in 2003 and Intel in 2008, but it is not at all interwoven with the CPU core itself. Processors within the same product line with varying core counts use the exact same DRAM controller blocks. This is really obvious on the Intel server chips where the CPU cores are linked by a ring or mesh bus and the DRAM controllers are just another stop at the far edges of those interconnects.

Intel can update their DRAM controller independently of the CPU core microarchitecture, just like they can update the integrated GPU microarchitecture independently of the CPU core microarchitecture. The only reason why they might not be releasing a CPU with LPDDR4 yet is if they never expected to need an LPDDR4 controller before their 10nm process was ready, and never started designing a 14nm LPDDR4-capable controller. If so, that's a clear miscalculation on their part and a sign that the processor architects are probably insufficiently skeptical of what the fab guys are telling them.

No, Simpson's Paradox involves incorrect conclusions of statistical data/trend due to a mistake in viewpoint or assumption. I'm saying that even if you have the correct conclusion that it's not a valid replacement for the user's explicit intent or choice because a) the probability on which a prediction, even a ludicrously accurate one, depends makes no guarantee about the results of a single event... and b) that usurping the user's choice because your model, or you, think you know better is a stunningly bad idea in itself.

The entropic heat death of the universe comes more from the notion that R=1 is implied by the conservation of energy

{facepalm}

Physicists already know that on the scales of the universe, there is no conservation of energy.

I hate to break it to you folks, but most of you are dead wrong about conservation laws. Conservation laws are a fundamental part of your education, but they are not a fundamental part of the universe. They are dependent on symmetry, as German mathematician Emmy Noether figured out. What this means is that energy is not conserved on universal scales, though it is still a very powerful analysis tool on smaller scales. We already have good reasons to believe that there is no time symmetry in deep time. The part relevant to the above specifically is at 10:15, but the whole video is worth watching.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUn2izowBkw

We know that the universe is expanding, and that this expansion is accelerating. So, do you know what happens when the expansion of space itself starts pulling quarks apart? Can you describe the physics? Do we even know that is going to happen?

There are so many guns, police have to assume everyone is armed in dangerous. So accidental shootings by police of innocent civilians is significant and, unfortunately in our society, seen as mostly unavoidable.

This is completely unrelated to the Stanford experiment.
I think its totally fair to criticize something, especially if it is part of its design tenets. Just because they designed it for interop doesn't mean I cannot evaluate it for the situation I am in. I've never been one for programming dogma. If I was using NeXTSTEP only at the time, CORBA would never have come up because of PDO.
No, I specifically mean that within the premise you lay out, you don't present any advantage in predicting the future grand scheme meaning, compared to the nihilists.

If I understand your post correctly, the problem is the narcissistic thought that one can declare now about what future things will and won't matter, and things can change in the interim. That doesn't seem linked to nihilism at all (ie, positive personal philosophies of meaning have the same problem of picking the right target), nor does there seem to be a counterpoint presented which would allow you to predict the future more correctly.

Exactly. One doesn't have to agree with every single thing he says to find something of value in his ideas. Similarly, it's idiotic to discard his entire set of ideas because you have found some disagreements.
What does that mean exactly?
Most people listen to top 40 music and artists, and not much else.

Most people on Spotify don't make their own playlists at all, and just rely on the ones that Spotify supplies in the Browse tab, or listen to albums.

From a quick scan of the friend activity pane, if Spotify only had music from the past 5 years, 80% of my friends would still be able to listen to their music.

People complaining about gaps in their library are a definite minority.
We already allow anyone over 18 to buy guns, without the psych evals.

> There is no way police checking storage at any time would pass at the federal level and I am doubtful it would have a noticeable effect on gun deaths but I could be convinced otherwise.

German statistics say otherwise. I love how pro-gun arguments are always "Ya it worked in country X, but it wouldn't work in the USA because we are third world" or something like that.

Seriously just admit that you never used a contactless system and stop here. It is becoming quite ridiculous and surreal if you are saying that using cash is as fast as tapping with a contactless to enter the underground.
I would really be curious how could Waterloo handle over 100 million passengers per year with cash.
Nice article. I think its important to combine both qualitative and quantitative data when analyzing the reaction of your readers. Google Analytics is a great tool for interpreting user data into insights, but often times its better to talk to your audience directly to find out what they really think.
Even if they did I doubt Facebook has enough of a handle on their data to avoid the fines for GDPR. They're infrastructure must be massive, and they have a big target on them. I can't say I feel bad for them.
> With super fast SSDs, does anyone really need 32GB of RAM?

I've used a machine with 8GB of RAM and a swap partition and hard drive cache on the fastest SSD (Intel Optane SSD DC P4800X). Responsiveness still takes a huge hit when processes are actively using more data than fits in RAM.

Fast SSDs can help when you have more RAM than you need but not as much as you'd like, but they don't help when you don't have as much RAM as you need.

> top 3 node js frameworks

What HTTP server frameworks are there?

I've seen very little Rails/Spring/Django-level JS projects.

(And maybe that's because heavy frameworks are a bad idea...fair enough, but the point still stands that there doesn't seem to be a Sails competitor.)
Lectures are great. Material is at a solid undergrad level (should be suitable for someone with 1-2yrs of CS background). No programming assignments, so I would go look at Phil Levis's website to find the "regular" course website and do the programming assignments from there.
This might not be the answer you're looking for, but if you ever want to learn to play the guitar, Justin Sandercoe will take you from novice to expert for free at justinguitar.com.

no one you can conceive of caring about will be alive and nothing you do now will have any noticeable effect on them.

But also yes we have worked out the math for a hyperbolic universe and it is still not effected by 21st century morality.
> You need to have build rules for RPMs and DEBs.

Yes, but as you said just after that, those in a Dockerfile are much more popular with a wide range of programmers. That might be because the dockerfile abstractions/API is better and simpler, or because the programmers like writing shell scripts but not RPM build rules, or for some other reason.

> you should actually know the OS you're dealing with, so it's a dumb idea on its own ... it was easy, it just required to actually know how the OS works, which is not a common knowledge among web programmers.

I'm really tired of this attitude. Of course you should know the OS you're dealing with. What you need to know about it depends on what you're doing with it. If I want to do kernel work, I don't need to know the best design principles for an ES7 web framework. If I want to make a website, I don't need to know how to write Apache 2 from first principles, and nor do I need to know how to manually chroot/install quotas/set up namespaces and capabilities to build a container system from scratch.

> This mental model, it is what exactly? Because there's virtually no mental model with the packages. A tarball with necessary files, that's all.

If it was just a tarball, it would be less powerful--it's the whole bunch of technically-unrelated things (resource management, networking, capabilities, namespaces, tarball-ish features, layering, dockerfile API, nice CLI with pluggable backends, standardized container interface) all unified under the abstraction of "this is a single unit, just like an RPM package". That concept is powerful exactly because it hides the fundamentals of the specific component technologies from people who don't need to know them--at least not at first.

Saying Docker is just "package maintenance for stupid people who only play with Duplo legos", you're being ignorant of the real needs of people at best, and deliberately elitist at worst. It's like saying "Dropbox is just for people who don't want to learn how file syncing over the network works--real programmers will just use curlftps and SVN".
You’re not wrong, but you’re not a good teacher either. Rudeness and mockery don’t add anything, and in fact take away from your ability to inform people. You’re also only half right, insofar as nobody knows is a very accurate statement. You’re wrong however, that conservation laws definitely don’t apply. We just don’t know if they do, and there are reasons to believe (you reference Noether’s theorem) why they might not. The truth is, “Nobody knows” with a period and a full stop.

It’s also worth pointing out that universal expansion has an effect only on distance scales larger than galaxies. There is no reason to believe it will pull apart smaller structures, never mind subatomic ones. It’s a popular misconception that the expanding force is great on small distance scales. On the scale of a galaxy, that force is overcome by gravity, so needless to say the Strong force won’t even notice it.

Tl;DR Metric expansion is a powerful cumulative force on giant distance scales, weak on small (below galaxies) scales. Galaxies, stellar systems, stars, and Hadrons will be just fine, thanks.

If you’re going to scold people, you could at least be right. It is also a good idea not to rely on just YouTube videos for your arguments.
