I’m going to echo the Haskell recommendations. Just get started.

I was also overwhelmed by how convoluted the language seemed but eventually used it for a project, and my opinion completely changed. Haskell is a simple, beautiful language that enjoys great tooling.

Start out by learning just enough IO and monad stuff so that you can read input and pass it to your functions. This will not take long. Then you can gradually build up your knowledge of the language by creating modules that will become more and more idiomatic with time. You will discover parametrized types, laziness, and user-defined operators. At times you will struggle with how to use the type system to achieve your goal, but through practice, you will learn how it limits you, so you will know what approach to take.

Eventually you might notice that your code could be easier to read and write, and that’s where monads come in.

Somebody in this thread also recommended Clojure, which is a fine language that I would have also recommended a few months ago—it was my go-to language for spinning up servers or doing some computation. Now that I have tried Haskell though, I feel like I might not need to use Clojure again because Haskell is much more fun. So I’d hate for someone else to miss out on the fun like I did for years because they think they have to read a 600-page treatise just to get started! It’s very far from the truth.
Similarly, Cling, from CERN [0], not the easiest thing to set up, but interactive C++ programming using a JIT interpreter.

And I can't mention Cling without what they're trying to replace CINT [1], which gives you C and C++ programming, but with a rather slow interpreter.

You can even make do with plain old client side JavaScript object arrays. After looking at your site, I can see your company has very good presentation skills. It very effectively appears to sell a simple algorithm that nearly anybody on earth with a little bit of experience, could do themselves. What the investor wants, is can you sell AI/ML as successfully as some text coloured blue, white and red. If this HN post is anything to go by, it certainly generated a lot of interest and maybe I could hire your company to polish my A href link algorithm with some AI/ML gloss
How can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you outright say you didn't read large portions of the article and then try to make a point on how those very points are flawed?

For what it's worth, I live in a city with a serious housing shortage and zero political will to improve transit and cycling.

I've been eyeing a smaller city 2 hours to the south, _solely_ because it has the finest cycling/walking greenway in the country. It also has the highest unemployment rate among cities in this country. Of course, that could make hiring cheaper. The dream is that it's a place where there's already low-traffic and an opennness to trying something new that could result in putting in proper, Dutch-style infrastructure.

I do wonder if there are others out there with the same idea. Maybe there's an opportunity here.

I keep thinking I should be more interested in Jupyter than I am.

Maybe someone who knows things can tell me this: Can I use it to develop and debug larger existing programs? That is, can I take 10k lines (say) of Python, that are spread across some modules, load them into Jupyter, not get a horrifying mess, and work on my program?
For those who don't know, the Bay Bridge has a relatively thoughtful design where rate-limiting is done at the approaches so that traffic on the bridge itself moves just fine. Then there are dedicated lanes so that buses can jump the queue.

Right now the bottleneck for bus throughput is loading bays at Temporary Transbay Terminal. When the new Transbay Terminal comes online, AC Transit will be able to substantially increase bus throughput over the Bay Bridge.

The Transbay bus system has many distinct routes that go express all the way to SF after making a few local stops in a couple of adjacent neighborhoods. Consequently, it's often faster than BART, especially if you don't live particularly close to your BART stop. Transbay Terminal moving the SF terminus closer to the Market St subway will also make the transfer more pleasant if Embarcadero isn't your stop.

North America's attitude towards people of colour, absolutely disgusts me. I simply do not understand why that a country that was founded on on the principles of freedom continues to act this way. The fourth amendment clearly states that all citizens should be treated equally if suspected of a crime, yet this simply does not happen.

Yeah, the UK (my homeland) has it's problems, but in the main, racial in-equality is not one of it's major ones. Every country does have 'ghetto' type areas, where things aren't as black and white as they should be (no pun intended) but, come on America, you need to do better than this.

On the article itself:- A well written piece, and an real joy to read despite it's content. Things I had to look up, though:

Can you think an infinite amount of thoughts?

Are thoughts information?

Interestingly, if the answer is "no" to the first question, that implies we should be able to quantify the maximum number of thoughts we can think in a single hour. I wonder if there's any research along these lines...
Well, I guess there is something to be said for getting to the point. The counterfactuals posed here are not a fun read, I must say. (Who thinks southern people talk like that?!?)
The information will still be mainly stored on servers... That tiny little chip just needs some connectivity to reach it when it's needed.
I do ML/NLP, and recently have been doing color related things.

I think you are underestimating how useful NLP could be in your application.

I tried out one of your test cases, and I did find it useful. However, I think that blending colors based on entity recognition along with your line based system could focus attention on important parts.

Have a look at [1] (sorry for the long URL) and imagine the colors blending with yours, so entities were slightly brighter than the rest of the text.

Making an encoding tailored to JavaScript documents that is a binary format is easy. And I don't think strong typing has anything to do with it. Making it handle Python and Ruby objects at the same time is harder, because they have different opinions about what a string is, what a number can be.
What all professionals do, and what all potential home buyers should do, is run the actual numbers of expenses that is purely property taxes, interest, fees, expected maintenance, bills such as heating and electricity, and other related expenses not specifically reducing the amount of debt. That is the price of living in the house - compare that to renting a place.

The difference between owning and renting expenses, is what you should compare to the risk/reward analysis of the property value.
Ya, sometimes there is more things to consider than just the money, depending on your priorities.
Wow, how embarrassing. Thanks for pointing this out. I have no idea how we didn't catch it sooner.
They invest in future potential. What you can do now is nearly irrelevant besides showing vision and competency. The next big thing isn't going to come from a couple of clever sql scripts.
You don't need AI to find values for free parameters. Unless you consider all of statistics to be a subfield of AI.

However, if both sides refer to that name as a defector, and the other side denounces their actions, it adds considerable weight to the argument.
We now live in the information age. Blockchains and AI will transform everyday life as well as specific sectors such as health care and trade.

Imagine walking in to a Starbucks café, order a cup of coffee, digitally signing a payment transaction on your mobile or laptop and then wait for it to be confirmed by the Blockchain while enjoying the hot cup of coffee you have ordered.

What is more, think about AI, you will not need to talk to the staff to place an order for your coffee. The staff can relax and watch you make gestures to a camera. They will be able to read on a screen if you’d like it white or black.

I think the article is too negative and does not see the big picture of transformation that is going on (as exemplified above).
Yes, but it’s not officially “condoned”, so it feels “out of place”. This is very individual, of course, but I don’t like bending the system to get patterns that are not “natively” supported.

In Swift, you cannot currently create classes in code, enhance and swizzle, implement proper proxies. You couldn’t even load a nib without the ObjC runtime. Not even reflection. It’s telling what their priorities were with that language. What good is the language when you cannot implement most of the system frameworks (Cocoa, Core Data, etc.) without nasty hacks?

I never used Go in any meaningful way so I just had to look at the documentation. I lean towards classifying it as references instead of pointers despite the name. References to references are perfectly valid even though they are not available in all languages with references.

On the other hand Go exposes an implementation detail, the fact that references are implemented as addresses. This is probably true for most languages with references but they usually keep this an implementation detail so that it would be perfectly valid to implement references with something other then addresses.

But because you can not really take advantage of the fact that references are implemented using addresses, you can not manipulate them and it seems you can not even calculate the difference between two pointers unless you go through unsafe, I would call it references [with slightly but inconsequentially exposed implementation].

As said, this is based on a ten minute read through the first couple of search results and I probably have not even hit any official documentation, so this might very well miss something important and be wrong.
Perhaps due to my imagination being feeble, I can't see how that could be about anything but some sort of con job.

What are you looking for exactly? A category system? The argument seems kind of weird. A bit similar to how a .zip file might contain just a few things, but also a lot of things. I think it's kind of a good thing that the same delivery mechanism can be used for various things, but I'm guessing you have a problem with discoverability?

I'm not sure what point you're communicating or who you're quoting. Initially, you were alleging that my statements were false and not based on facts, but now, you're trying to say that it is commonly stated every 5 minutes? Please try to be clear. I get that these facts are uncomfortable for those of us who have benefited from these things, but the sooner we face them and try to make the world a fairer playing field the better off we will all be.
Hyper is the only proper terminal emulator on Windows. Time to upgrade.
I personally consider all of modern AI (i.e. statistical pattern matching) to be a subfield of statistics. Mind you, I'm probably just a grumpy old man.
It used to be the case that Maps wouldn't search places that you starred on that device when you turned off Location History. They fixed that some time in the past year.

With rendering moved to canvas, does it still make sense to use Electron? A lightweight drawing surface + js bindings could do the same in a much lighter package.
Great product idea! I'm glad people find it useful.

Hypotheses:

> corporate VC that wanted to make a strategic investment

They want to put money in your company to make sure they don't have to compete with you or compete with someone else who might buy you down the line.

> They kept prodding around on the ML stuff, and how we might be able to use ML to accomplish roughly the same thing.

They're looking for secret sauce, barriers, friction. Something patentable. Something to keep others out and keep them ahead. Perhaps something that they don't think they can do themselves or maybe rip off when they realize it's useful. Remember Flux?[0]

They're investment thesis makes sense from this perspective: they're thinking like classic, amoral businesses.

Also note that if your product is simple and popular enough, people will likely make free clones. You'll need to be a good steward to keep your value.

Best of luck!

It likely was formerly true. Maps was very limited 2 years ago when I turned off Location History; it's gotten a lot better since.
LiIon refers to a whole range of different chemistries; Tesla uses Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide which offers a longer lifespan while typically laptops and phones use Lithium Cobalt Oxide.

I was also under the impression that Lithium batteries suffer from calendar degradation, but I wonder how much of a thing that is with modern batteries if they have good thermal management (like Teslas do), or if we even notice it when actually using a device (laptops and phones run the battery hard and hot, so end up having a 2-3 year lifespan from normal use.
It's mostly about convenience. Hubble uses a radiation hardened 486 instead of those.

Sure, but that's a "the government is giving home owners a tax discount to encourage home ownership" argument, not a "leverage can turn inflation-tracking assets into inflation-beating assets" argument.
These are all very excellent points. I would go even further: “The only viable application of blockchain is cryptocurrencies” (and cryprocurrencies have a whole different set of problems).

By arguing that there is only a “narrow set of use cases” you open the door for the counter argument “yes, but MY blockchain startup is not bullshit”.

I isually use the argument “show me the increase of profit margin specifically by using blockchain technology”.

I so far have not gotten a satisfying answer.
Senior level people at Eventbrite would have had to have known about this clause. The fact that they allowed it in the first place communicated quite a bit about their priorities.
1) Usually users own the copyright of their comments. They do have the moral right at-least to disallow continued propagation of comments.

2) It should still be possible to delete accounts, without removing comments -- but reassigning those comments to a temporary/anonymous account id. This solves for account deletion, but not content deletion.
Security Testing Experts – Software Security Testing Specailist
While I see the author’s point, I fail to understand what any if this has to do with SQL. The problem ML solves isn’t querying databases, it’s making decisions. If a human came up with the idea “let’s lookup people X and send them email Y” and it works, great. But a human made that decision, and SQL is just a tool for making it happen. If you want to take the human out of the loop, SQL won’t save you.

Weren’t some steps taken to start working on preliminary support, or at least building blocks? I might be mistaken.
While it was thinkable all the time, it renders me speechless, that finally somebody has put that stack under a terminal. The next big thing will be electron-based smooth-scroll, mouse-animation and finally: a 70mb beep.
I don't disagree that NLP could be powerful, and I have thought about ways to make it syntactically aware.

But honestly the biggest barrier we face in adoption among licensees (platforms that would integrate our tech) is that they are simply uncomfortable with text that has colors in it. It's not about how much it helps any metrics (the things that NLP could improve) — it's just that most folks don't want to be early-adopters of crazy-looking tech.

Though I should note we do have some great licensees, especially in the education, impact, and accessibility markets.

Regardless, I'd love to chat with you further — please shoot me an email (contact@[domain]) if you're up for chatting about how we could deploy NLP as we develop.
I'm the exact opposite. I start with the highest level integration tests to test the API out. I iterate on this process quite a bit until the API is more or less settled down, and then I start implementing the API with appropriate unit tests.

As much as I'd love a very cleanly implemented API, in the end many more devs will be using the API, so the use of it has priority over an API that is easier to implement.

The "modern" JS ecosystem:

1. Over-reliance on tooling. JS was made as a scripting language, if you can't use it as such, its purpose is lost. And that tooling works against betterment of the ecosystem - lib authors rely on tooling to fix issues of the platform, rather than seeking a definite solution.

2. Any serious JS project is a long term maintenance burden. The prevalence of "single line libraries" makes future-proofing of the code impossible. You don't only have to version-freeze your immediate dependencies, but dependencies of your dependencies. You will have to manage their version manually, it all becomes your own problem.

3. Authors of JS VMs swear on their firstborns that JS performance has been greatly improved, yet, it sucks. For practical purposes, JS code is barely as quick as perl or python.

4. Too much evals in 3rd party code everywhere. The only way you can secure your front-end is to ensure no third party code policy on your page. When it comes to the back-end, things become more grave. On the back-end, you can say that there is no universal solution.

5. Zoo of standards on the front-end, browser APIs changing on a whim.

6. Zoo of sublanguages: Coffeescript, LiveScript ClojureScript, MoonScript, AtScript, TypeScript. Having to mix anymuch of them in a single project is, you can guess, a supernightmare.

Yet, I don't completely hate people who want to move JS forward. TC39 may well be too heavy on being staffed by theoreticians, but they have right priorities: standardization, having whatever going into the standard being highly dry before even approaching the pre-standard status, enforcing a semblance of synchronicity to the ecosystem.

What JS needs in my opinion:

1. HARD VERSIONING

2. Compliance certification through testing with a hard version

3. An even harder enforced decoupling of the paper standard and implementation. While the majority of modern JS implementations are VM based, this should not make the standard to accommodate design decisions dictated by a VM implementation.

4. Readiness to do breaking changes in between major hard versions, and no reservations for backward compatibility.

5. Many browser APIs are de-facto parts of the standard library as such. They need to be managed as a part of the standard.

The presentation of information is absolutely excellent too. And you can instantly see what they mean about a calendar view as a default view, with the screenshot, it's really nice.

I am using Hyper 2 since the beta and I really like it. It has replaced iTerm for me. Performance may still be an issue for some people. For example, printing to stdout seems slower on Hyper than on, let's say iTerm. To me it is noticeable but still feels nearly instant.
This makes me wonder how the information is stored in nature? Like how the characteristics of the particles and fields and all the interaction rules are are stored or embedded?

If we know how much bits nature is taking to store some data and how it is storing, can we use this knowledge of structure to somehow compress the data and store it more optimally? Or is nature have most optimal storage ever?

- Easier to make a multiplatform application, compared to alternatives.

- Makes it possible for people who don't know (and/or don't want to know) anything beyond the web stack to build "desktop" applications.

- Easy to make it look nice by default, because you can reuse all the work that went into building the browser as a runtime, + you have a ton of eyecandy JS libraries to choose from.
Maybe I'm missing something... is there a benefit to this over a normal terminal/terminal emulator? (eg xterm, mac terminal etc)?

As far as I can tell, putting it in electron would mean that you could embed arbitrary HTML structures inside the terminal (like web page previews or something), but from what I've read, it doesn't look like that's the goal.
Thanks so much for sharing! Will have a listen!
But it's still just a pointer underneath? It's more or less just syntactical sugar which makes it dereferenced it for you, and I'd argue that it only makes sense to use the phrase in certain contexts.

The only real difference between the last two is that the last one shouldn't be sent in as null, isn't it? The test in OPs artictle doesn't really make sense either, because you can switch the values using pointers as well.
