Unfortunately, probably not. 70mm on a Vic8 already can be prone to tearing if not handled correctly, I wouldn't trust tape splices any faster than 24fps. IMAX already has zig-zag shaped splices to survive the faster film speed of 8 perf 70mm.
Wow.. it’s a shame that this article is tied to the beautiful subject of logic.

I’m pretty sure you can come up with such an article for any phrase you’d ever encounter.
Ya, actually, I often use this style in other languages to be clear about the intermediate steps.

My understanding though is that the problem is mixed with Erlangs pattern matching it can cause issues, because it won't necessarily fail to repeat the variable name, it'll just behave wrong. At least that's what I heard.

Having been to Esalen a few times over the years, it has changed much in the last 15 or so years. It feels like it is catering to less the one looking for a retreat and one wanting more pampering. The grounds, tubs, and food are still special.

Tassajara is a place I plan on returning too. My first trip, I was doing a retreat and engaged in some of the chanting and meditation -- it took awhile to get used to it. I also explored the tubs, the grounds, and used the complete disconnect from communication to let myself just relax, calm down, and renew a bit. The food was very good. Being based in a valley between a set of hills, the heat can be quite intense during the day.

Getting away to day, for me, are the mountains and deserts and more remote areas of California. I have lakes I can be on in 20-30 minutes, lose myself at a mining claim exploring for hours and days, or hot springs in the eastern sierras mere hours away.

Most of the grounds mentioned, I've been to a number of them. They are quite amazing. There are places you can go on your own and find unique experiences and relaxation.
And they also make sure people who do actually want to exercise are discouraged to go (lunk alarm, free food, etc)
I am not an Erlang programmer, but that style of programming bothered me, too. This variable per function application is a code smell in my point of view and should be handled with function composition or partial application (not sure how Erlang handles these, though).

> And how have these sort of opinions become popular

The parent wasn't sharing opinions but facts.
Like with 'learning styles', it's easy to assume that lectures help others even though I personally found them stupid and pointless but the research is fairly consistent that they're worse than other options. And now we have cheap video recording, I'd imagine that live lectures are even worse. They're just "the way it's always been done" not an attempt to meet the learning needs of the majority of students.

I'd guess that applies to most other stuff that could be tweaked based on svience to benefit all students, rather than pit "gifted" against everyone else.

C#’s a weird one: it’s widely used, but still unpopular. It’s got genuinely large problems (like the anemic OS ecosystem) but when considered as a language on its own, it’s been ahead of the game in its class.
Because A.I. has been sold as revolutionizing peoples lives. The second sentence of the article says Sundar Pichai, claimed in an interview that A.I. “is more profound than, I dunno, electricity or fire.”.

But if people don't see any impact in their lives, from a technology that they are told will change everything, then it's not surprising that they'd think little progress has been made.
I had the same at Cineworld in Ireland a few years ago. I think at the time I was paying ~€15/mo and a single ticket was €8.

At the time there were a few restrictions, you needed to pay more for 3D or IMAX, and you had to collect tickets from the counter. This last part meant going at peak times was discouraged (as you needed to queue and weren’t guaranteed a ticket), so I usually went at off peak times when the cinema was usually empty.
> Very common for Apple to reach out to the popular apps

You have to be really popular for this to happen, or be the only adopter of a technology they're trying to push. Basically, the question you have to ask yourself is "could Apple showcase us at a keynote?" Of course, such arrangements have massive NDAs around them.

> if you aren't popular you can just goto WWDC where hundreds of engineers will quite happily talk through issues and give guidance on prerelease software

Yes, but they aren't going to tell you what's wrong with your software…you'll need to go up to them at tell them "so and so doesn't work" and then they'll help you. I think it's unlikely that they'd just outright tell you that they made a special case for your software and you should get around to fixing it.

> It certainly doesn't appear to be a false dichotomy to me.

That's the problem. What you seem to be espousing is exactly "my way or the highway" (where "my way" is the GDPR) or "you're either for it or against it", the very epitome of false dichotomy.

Why not actually address the middle ground that has now been clearly explained multiple times? In what way does that non-compliance equate to nefarious conduct?

Given peer review is unpaid and so is authorship, I am curious as to why you think this is a provocative question?

I would imagine that reviewing papers for free is usually considered part of 'service' to the field and the imagined tradeoff here has far more to do with whether the journal is influential or not, and almost nothing to do with pay or access policies.

I believe working from home is possible with the right set up and social network. He said that he lived with his grandmother who needed help when working from home. That implies that he probably wasn't able to fully focus on work for 8 horus at a time. Working from home is only efficient (IMO) if you have a room that you solely use for work. You need to have a clear boundary between work and free time, separate physical spaces help.

As for the people, that is true but can be achieved while working from home. It certainly takes more effort but by meeting people for lunch several times a week and meeting others in the evening you can be as social.

One aspect he doesn't mention is the commute. For many of us, that's easily 1 hour a day that you get back to use it otherwise (e.g. to meet friends).

Nope, gym memberships work the way they do, because people feel like they should have a gym membership and cancelling one is considered a failure, plus actually going to a gym is not fun. I've had a membership for over a year and I haven't been once, but I would feel bad about cancelling. There is no expectation on anyone to own a cinema pass, and there is no reason not to use it if you have it. Right now the cinema is so expensive that I only go to see the biggest blockbusters - I might be interested in the smaller films but I can't justify paying to see a film I might not like. But with a movie pass? I'd go all the time.

The simultaneous arguments (that get repeated often) of "journals provide little to no value and therefore publications should be free" and "researchers value the curation of top journals because (seemingly) only high quality papers get accepted" are quite at odds with each other I think.

I'm jumping in the middle here, but mind if I make a meta-comment?

Phrases like "you've misunderstood my words" can sound quite confrontational and, in my experience, tend to provoke defensive responses rather than Cooperative Idea Sharing TM.

I find ideas flow more freely and coopertively by taking the miscommunication blame on myself, "Oh, I must have been unclear. We're on the same page about X, but what I was really trying to say is..."

Anyway, that's just my feel on the meta-interaction above. Carry on.

>> unrelated, but REPO MAN (1984) is an excellent film

> Repo Men (2010) is even better

That's not a very widely shared assessment.

Repo Man (1984): 98% on RT, average rating 8/10. Ebert 3/4. IMDB 6.9/10. 75% Metacritic.

Repo Men (2010): 22% RT, average rating 4.2/10. Ebert 2/4. IMDB 6.3/10. 32% Metacritic.

1984 had a lot of science fiction movies: The Terminator, Dune, The Last Starfighter, The Adventurers of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, Starman, Repo Man, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock; Night of the Comet, The Philadelphia Experiment, 1984, The Ice Pirates, Supergirl, The Brother from Another Planet, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Dreamscape, Firestarter, Electric Dreams, C.H.U.D, The Return of Godzilla, The Toxic Avenger, and more.

I don't think they failed. They had served well in a time window from early 70s to the end 80s or even 90. In the US much of the stuff was research and development, and a lot was paid by DARPA (the defense research agency). For example something like a LISP Machine was originally not developed as a fast Lisp system. It was in the mid 70s the dream of a computer for software development in Artificial Intelligence. The bottleneck was not so much processor speed, but memory and that computers were shared with people on time-sharing systems. 1 MB RAM and 50 users. The system speed was the problem - not the processor speed. The Lisp Machine was designed as a single-user workstation with GUI - in mid 70s. Since the researchers wanted them for Lisp and they mostly knew Lisp, they also wrote the OS and the design software (for example chip design) in Lisp.

A commercialized GUI computer like Mac from 1984 was a tiny machine without development tools: floppy drives, 128k memory and a tiny screen.

That stock hardware was eventually faster was no surprise, since a) Lisp processors were not particular fast and b) people did run simpler Lisp software on those - mostly applications, but not a Lisp OS, which was no longer needed.
The Lisp processor made it faster to develop code.

One of the main purposes was to be technology accelerators in the cold war of the 70s/80s - up to the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).

It's about to. Texas is going to build a bunch of high speed rail over the next 15-20 years, likely linking every major city in the state and then connecting into a few neighbor states. The first line, between Dallas and Houston, will begin construction within the next year. Unlike California, Texas will actually get this done quickly at a sane cost, and it will act as a model for the rest of the US.

The total of 21 trillion includes "adjustments" made by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in addition to branches of the Pentagon.
My personal recommendation is that your domain registrar, web host, and email service should all be different parties. Segregate your risk of losing control of all of these at once, it makes recovery drastically easier.

Bear in mind, if someone's all in with Google, they might have their domain controlled by Google Domains.

I read that and got genuinely preoccupied.

I immediately started reviewing the recovery options of my corporate account and de-linked all my personal information (personal email address, personal phone number for two-factor authentication, etc). I prefer to have my corporate account hacked for not having 2FA enabled than to risk my personal Google account to be locked. I went ahead and created a non-personal account with another email provider for the recovery options and tomorrow morning I will request my employer for a corporate phone number to set-up 2FA.
Here's a couple:
a) Gatekeeping publishers keep research from being available to less-elite schools that can't afford the subscriptions, creating a rich-get-richer dynamic in science. Leveling the playing field will lead to more-better output.

b) High subscription fees increase university fees, which translate directly into student loans.

As many have pointed out before, publicly funded research should be open access. There's no reason the university should be both paying researchers (from tax dollars + student fees) and then paying a bunch of rent-seeking rent seekers for access to the published research (using tax dollars and student fees).
It shows why Excel is so popular. You can assume that basically every company has this installed throughout the organisation. Programming it in Excel is painful but will work on any machine throughout the org. Setting this up with a web front-end may be nicer, but probably not much faster to code initially and good luck making this accessible for other departments in less than a few months.

Also, a lot of non-developers are familiar with Excel formulas and could quickly adapt the code, something impossible for most if it's written in JS or Python.

I've worked from home for years and from an office for many more years (been working as a programmer for about 16 years now).

IMO the main disadvantages of working from an office can be alleviated by just working fewer hours - unfortunately companies are not very fond of that (it's almost impossible to find a job as a programmer for less than 40h/week).

My optimal work situation would be a commute of up to half an hour (15 minutes in each direction) and working 9am to 4pm.
???? This is obviously equal to 54,000 datasets of 1 gigabytes each, which I would say is a pretty large dataset to publish along with a paper, so it's hard for me to even imagine 54 thousand such 1-gigabyte datasets. A one gigabyte PDF is astronomical in size, PDF's are usually far far shorter.

So why is this so large? Aren't they just PDF's, basically? And usually just a few pages? Excuse my ignorance. I'm very surprised at the size that you quote (54 TiB).

You are applying propositional logic rigor to a comment made in a casual setting that you fail to apply to your own position. Let me show you how..

>Not everyone lives in a jurisdiction where copyright law exists.

How many? How did you gather this data?

> Among those who do, not everyone lives in a jurisdiction where this action is a violation of that law.

How did you survey the jurisdictions of people accessing this information? What legal standard did you apply to come to your conclusion of people not breaking laws?

> Of those who do, not everyone recognizes copyright law as legitimate or binding on their conduct.

Who has communicated to you that they don't recognize copyright law as legitimate or binding? Why is the number statistically relevant?

You see? Anyone can apply rigor to any comment. It took me 5 seconds just like it would take you five seconds to apply rigor to any other comment.

>I thought I gave a reasonably solid explanation

I didn't see any explanation, only a logical argument. A logical argument is not means to establishing truth. Cats have four legs and a tail, but a dog is not a cat.
