That is not what is meant by "idioms and stylistic aspects". Take, e.g. `o.map(v => ...).getOrElse(v2)` vs `o match case Some(v) => ... case None => v2`. The former is idiomatic and preferred over the latter (but of course some jackass somewhere will disagree and argue incessantly about it).
This is sort of like the venture capital market. Entrepreneurs will sort rank their investor list based on perceived value of that investor and will work their way down. Most VCs simply never see the great companies, which is why top firms consistently outperform while the overall asset class has fared poorly. In short, deal flow is everything.

> x is a variable that can assume a myriad of values.

No it can’t. x in this case is a bound variable. It’s not that it just so happens to take on -2, but that it is already bounded to -2 to make the statement true.

It really says: There exists some x in Z such that x + 3 = 1. What is that x, or what is a proof of the statement? The answer is in the form of a logical implication.

On functional terms, we have a couple of thousand reviewers that have signed up to review. Our tooling helps them work faster; long term, we'll also provide this tooling to internal terms.

So far, we have about a dozen of the Fortune 500 signed up; larger teams, for a variety of reasons, are more open in some cases (one of the many learnings of this startup).

Edit: signed not signing.
I would venture that the market that needs more CPU performance than an APU, only needs an integrated GPU, but does not need ECC memory is pretty small. In other words, a significant fraction of people looking at the 2700X would be buying a discrete GPU even if they picked up the Intel equivalent.

I mean, in addition to the possible miscommunication over the context of the word, it is an American news source discussing issues from an American perspective. I'd expect the same of any other country's news, really.

With that perspective in mind, it's definitely threatening given the rivalry between the U.S. and China. There's both the economic threat towards America's future prosperity as a country for technology, and the cultural threat that a country modeled like China will surpass a country modeled like the United States. The second one is what I find most concerning.

Piling on with a bit more pedantry, my experience is a bit different.

In my current ring theory course, we have indeed written things like 3 * 3 = 1 when working in |F_5 (not sure that notation is going to work as well as I hope, looks alright in the app I use), but it's not the equality symbol is overloaded, but the numbers themselves. Rather than using = to mean numeric equality and equality w.r.t. equivalence classes, we just use the numbers themselves as shorthand for their equivalence classes.

just not in enterprise code
The W3C's HTML standard is a buggy, outdated copy of the upstream WHATWG standard.

In the copy-and-paste process the W3C regularly introduces errors which prevent the W3C copy from being used as an implementation reference, even as an outdated standard. Example: https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/257

So the W3C copy is not authoritative, nor can it be in its current state, regardless of what the EU or anyone else says.

The WHATWG standards are the authoritative implementation references. The W3C specs are buggy, outdated, incomplete copies and that looks unlikely to change for HTML, DOM or any other specs the W3C takes from WHATWG and republishes with the W3C logo.

Verified sources, citations, quotes on the record.

Otherwise it's gossip, heresay, agitprop
That's a strange interpretation, and I say it doesn't seem like you're trying too hard to assume good faith.

The EU is worried about publishers both big and small. Currently, investing half a year's worth of a journalist's work into investigations is a rather bad business decision, because everyone can freely reuse the facts you uncovered: spend a year finding corruption, write it up in a day, 10 minutes later it's on AP.

Ther 'inalienable' is to ensure you're not pressured into giving those rights away by a stronger actor such as Google. The principle is the same that makes it impossible for you to agree to buy something new without warranty.

Your idea also doesn't make much sense because the current crisis of journalism has hit smaller publishers hardest. The New York Times will survive. The Bodunken Tribune is probably long dead already. And the major players for centralization are obviously Google and Facebook, the two largest targets of this legislation.

All this DOES NOT mean I believe this proposal to be a good idea! I think it's too much beaurocracy for too little effect, plus probably unintended consequences.

But it's hard to completely disregard the true motivation and ascribe malice.

As I read the comments on this post, the top reply contains multiple mathematical symbols which aren't rendering on my recent Android phone. You can't pretend that HN has a huge proactive team working on these issues.

I'm loathe to infer that you think that the problem is "me" because I think the underlying question is whether the comments should be a friendly place for people who do not have time or inclination to read the article. You may see that as an appalling, lazy, degeneration in discourse; the reality is that reading the comments without wading through a blog post is a valid tactic. If clearer methods of quoting were available the two or three of us involved here would have wasted less time.

The "engineer-forward" alternative in which everyone strives to speak from a totalizing position of authority is just, frankly (as a technical person myself) unattainable.

The machinations behind this have being going on for years, and go much deeper.

Two chairs of the W3C's Web Platform Working Group, who both also happen to be members of the W3C Advisory Board which oversees the W3C Process, appear to have decided it's fine for them to routinely ignore the W3C Process.

Both these individuals seem to be using their positions in the W3C to pursue some kind of personal vendetta. Of course, in theory the W3C Process exists to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

One of these individuals also happens to be a W3C ex-staffer. You can read a somewhat unfavourable summary of this ongoing farcical situation (by a current W3C staff member) here: https://freenode.logbot.info/whatwg/20160614#c998179

For a moment, imagine the situation:

You show up to work each day. You've been working a lot lately, but you're really excited about the thing you're working on. You're looking forward to when it's ready and ships. But it's not time yet. It's not ready. You want the world to see it when you're ready to really show them something. Not just the idea of a thing, but the actual thing. When they can see it, touch it, understand it and breathe it. When they can really appreciate what you've been doing.

You've been working on this thing for awhile. You know there's still a long slog ahead. But you think—hey, one day soon, we'll get to talk about this thing.

Then one morning, you get into the office and you see some blog is talking about your project. They have a bunch of the details wrong, but it's definitely the project you're working on. And they're saying it's coming out in the next update.

Your work never has the chance to speak for itself. Someone decided to speak for your work instead. Just so they could feel important. It wasn't even their work to speak for. It was yours, and you and others had already been making decisions on how you wanted to talk about it, what things you wanted to show and where and how you wanted the work to speak for itself.

Wouldn't you be annoyed about it?

Wouldn't you be disappointed that someone leaked your work when later when you do finally announce it people don't let your work speak for itself, but just compare your work to whatever their minds imagined, made up and idealized about what you might be working on, doing or building?

>but past performed is not a guarantee of future gains

Yes, but to your question regarding A/V standards, that works both ways. While past performance often isn't a great predictor, human biological specs are a decent predictor for the near future. If we take 8k as the current bleeding edge (given actual beyond-the-lab 8k screens exist, albeit at horrendous bleeding edge pricing), we're somewhere around one more doubling (quadrupling of pixels) away from the point where the number of image elements will literally exceed the number of retina in a human eye. Now yeah, the human eye jitters around a fair amount, and maybe there'd be some value in peripheral vision coverage too in theory, but even taking all of that into consideration to be very conservative we're still rapidly approaching the point where our display tech can exceed the limits of human visual acuity, at which point it's reasonable to predict that we will in fact be "done" when it comes to A/V standards (post-human seems farther away then 2030). And even that is getting into heavily diminishing returns territory.

It really does make for something interesting to think about, similar to that of audio where we've already been "done" for a long time now. We've lived in an era where a significant amount of innovation and money flowing around and such came out of a lot of work to ever more closely match our synthetic light outputs to the input capabilities of our vision systems. But that's not a forever thing, our vision system is such a powerful part of our senses that it's been a very hard target, but there is in fact a hard physical limit there. When it's reached, and there will be no more video format changes ever again, and no more screen changes ever again, no more chances to sell "remastered" and "updated" versions of older visual products, etc., it may make for some real changes in the industry.

And to GP's point, the theoretical limits of information storage in matter do seem to be a lot farther beyond the theoretical end of information requirements necessary to match a human's AV. Optimistically for all parties though, the music scene seems to have done alright through that transition so far, on both the production/industry and consumer side (where we enjoy near universal DRM free high quality competition). Granted, that was after a lot of very ugly thrashing...
Germany is becoming more open and diverse
In Ursula Le Guin's Hainish Cycle, the confederation of planets is called the Ekumen.

It's a good ol' Greek word with no inherent religious meaning, so it's nice to see it getting reclaimed in a secular context. I think the fact that it tends to have a religious connotation imparts a sense of solemnity to it that is quite appropriate in the current context.

"Ecumenical" also avoids the grandiosity and detechedness of "universal" or "global". Perhaps because its meaning derives from "home", it feels a lot more down to Earth and closer to heart than either of those common alternatives.
> Humans, in so far as they are more than a completion of functions able to react, whose lowest and therefore most central are the purely animal like reactions, are simply superfluous for totalitarian systems. Their goal is not to erect a despotic regime over humans, but a system by which humans are made superfluous. Total power can only be achieved and guaranteed when nothing else matters except the absolutely controllable willingness to react, marionettes robbed of all spontaneity. Humans, precisely because they are so powerful, can only be completely controlled when they have become examples of the animal like species human.

Food ties are strong. I'm lucky ebough to live in a region with great local fare....donut shops, burger joints, fast food mexican / chinese, mexican bakeries, sushi, boba...

That shows that it is better for some businesses, which no one disputes. For other businesses, the compulsion for others to share their work results in a better product, and tbeir profit motives are more aligned with a better product in an absolute sense than being better than competitors, and so being compelled to release source is a worthwhile tradeoff for everyone else doing so too.

It's super sad. It's the fat that makes it yoghurt, but since Americans in general don't have yoghurt culture (pun intended), they don't know the difference between real yoghurt and milk with gelatin.

I have pretty much resigned and I'm buying Yoplait 2%. It's ok. But the real crazy thing is that if you buy Yoplait fruit yoghurt in France, it tastes so much better than their American version. Same company, but they have also resigned to creating something that fits the American palate and are selling that instead of the real deal. :-(
Will the binaries be compiled for size optimization, or will they be the same size as usual golang bins?

Go binaries, being static and embedding the whole go runtime, tend to be quite big. Now, I don't care about it because 5 or 10MO on my server filesystem is nothing. If I ask every visitor to download 10MO before running my webpage, that will be a problem, though.

Is this something we will have to deal with? Or will this be a lesser featured go implementation?

Lively (YC W17) Is Hiring Two Sales Development Executives Focused on SMBs
I think there's a really key point with nontraditional developers.

But have not gotten around to it.

Again: the metrics being measured in typical tech interview processes are not the same metrics those same companies would use to measure success on the job. They are not useful predictors of success or failure on the job.

If the interview metrics are that disconnected, there is no meaning to the interview metrics.

So long as mobile data plans continue to suck in most places, I don't see the desire for mobile apps over websites going away.

They're (W3C) actually citing the EME precedent as an example of when the W3C went forward without consensus to justify their position on this. If this is the direction the W3C is going then it has ceased to serve the interests of the web and I'm guessing it is on a short path to irrelevance.
Are there any plans to bring HAMMER2 in to Linux?
