If you're interested have a look at FromSoftware's actual Dark Souls (spiritual) predecessors. In particular King's Field. The setting is very similar; although the gameplay is very primitive, it has the same feeling of exploration and similar difficulty. Also it's 1st person (quite innovative for the time).

I originally criticized the notion of a short seller sabotaging Tesla to make money. The moment you reach the scale where it makes sense, it also becomes easily discoverable.

If you are talking about free Java compilers that is correct.

Most commercial compilers, specially those for embedded markets always had AOT native code as deployment option.

But now the bad Oracle is finally making the AOT compiler research they got from Sun Labs available for free.

You claimed that Elon is a huckster monorail salesman, a direct reference to an episode of the Simpsons involving a con job to sell a non functional and dangerous product to a gawping crowd.

That’s pretty much claiming that Elon is selling dodgy products that aren’t fit for purpose, and running off to Tahiti with the money. Yet we have Teslas that are widely loved by their owners, with many owners buying a second one because the other car is perceived as a punishment after driving the Tesla.

Perhaps you would be met with less derision if you weren’t out to portray Elon as a real life Lyle Lanley. I know, it’s a pretty far fetched idea to suggest that you can look at Elon’s promises as coming from an enthusiastic leader inexperienced in a particular field: he’s confident that the goals will be achieved but is extremely optimistic about time. He promised the Model 3, it is here. He promised feature parity for AP2 and it’s pretty much there. He promised ramping production and that is coming.

No other manufacturer is producing electric vehicles in the same volume as Tesla, and no other manufacturer has ensured that the infrastructure is available to support common use cases for personal vehicles.

And here you are accusing Elon of being a con artist intent on siphoning money from gullible investors, then crying victim when you don’t receive the adoring praise you were expecting.

What have you accomplished with your life while Elon has been shooting rockets to Mars, solving South Australia’s electricity problems, and weaning the transport industry off oil?

IMO in a perfect world, there would be no tax and no debt but a moral government that distributes money as needed to private persons and not to banks by the central bank and by bailout programs.

>Is it, though? Other than the special case of Netflix, it strains credibility that any cloud provider would be willing to give enough of a discount to match, let alone beat, ones own hardware. How would they make money?

Right now, as I understand it, Uber is losing money driving me to work every day, and I'm not really sure how they will ever make a profit off of that. if they double their prices? I'm gonna buy a car, drive my own self to work, and use uber once a week when I go to the bar. I don't really see how buying fake market share (rather,market share that only exists when you are dumping) helps them when it comes time to not dump anymore.

Point being, there are plenty of people who are willing to sell two dollar bills for a dollar when the economy is hot. (I'm not suggesting amazon does this... but they certainly could. It's possible. )

Even in more rational markets, loss leaders are a big thing, and in leasing situations, where it's hard to move once you are in? loss leaders are a really common sales tactic. How often have you gotten "first month free" rent deals on one year leases, that work out to below market for the first year (because of the free first month) but above market after that, even if they don't actually raise the rent?

Datacenter leases often have a similar 'ramp up' period, where you pay less at the beginning of a contract than towards the end, even not counting the fact that they jack up your bill by however much they think it will cost you to leave.

I mean, these all can be really good deals if you know that it's easy for you to move later,and it's certainly possible (though maybe not easy) to setup your infrastructure so you can switch cloud providers with little cost.

>Fortunately, there's an upper bound, which is the public price

This is true...but that's a pretty high upper bound, when you compare to owning hardware/leasing pipe and power at all but the smallest scale.

>which has, at least historically, been coming down.

Historically, the cost of compute has come down, though slower than the cost of hardware (at least until lately) the cost of bandwidth has come down... much more slowly.

>Also, AWS has the spot instance market, which can provide downward price pressure from even that ceiling.

I think spot instances are a difference in kind (and actually a really great deal, if you have a workload that can be interrupted like that) - but most workloads I have worked with, especially in corp, don't really work that way.
> That answer with the long unnecessary dump completely misses what I asked for.

Yeah, I guess you are right. Sorry for the noise.

Sure, that's a fine judgment for most applications. That's exactly why high-performance languages (of any kind) necessarily must remain somewhat niche.

Although I will point out that the point of this post is exactly to try to minimise the build system complication and cognitive load as much as possible, so Futhark will be useful to just slightly more projects.

In my opinion it's the author who should have been seeking a fork then. Getting the approval of all the contributors to do so, knowing that those people won't be able to help anymore.

Also, that kind of thing is usually handled by a Pro version or advanced support for paid subscribers.
Sure. I think my (perhaps badly made) point was - There are two existing technologies already in use at borders, each of which have similar or better accuracy than facial recognition, so the additional benefits of deploying it there is likely to be small.

Unless, as pointed out by bdhess in another response to my comment, the aim is to detect people for whom border control do not have any passport/fingerprint/retinal information for, but some reason still consider to be a "person of interest" at a border. Which has it's own set of scary implications...
Being “statically-compiled” isn't some magic property that automatically makes program run faster. It can even be the opposite in some situations, since you can't benefit from JIT optimizations.

What makes Rust, like C or C++, efficient is not just that they are statically compiled, it's that they have massively-tuned optimizing compiler spending a lot of time in compile-time optimizations.

If you take Go, another statically-compiled language, its compiler is way less aggressive with optimization because the Go compiler developers wants to keep the compile-time low (which is probably a good idea in their niche) and because it has been much less of a focus than for LLVM or Gcc. As a result, Go is slower than C/C++/Rust by almost an order of magnitude, despite being statically compiled.

Another example: if you compile C code with `-O0` optimization level, it will still be statically compiled, but it will be way slower than most JIT-ed languages.

Buying, or investing in, existing companies and then using his marketing skills to convince other investors (and governments) to pour billions of dollars into them is hardly the same thing as "building rockets that land themselves" - you can thank the engineers and visionaries at SpaceX for that. And his cars absolutely do not drive themselves despite his constant reassurances that they'll be able to do so Real Soon Now™.

In fact, as an aside, I would argue that Tesla's marketing is disgustingly misleading - their website loudly proclaims that all Teslas are equipped with every piece of hardware necessary for fully autonomous self-driving, and in a much smaller, much quieter voice they subtly admit that none of their cars are capable of actually doing that yet.

You may handwave that away as marketing fluff, but if you asked the average person in the street whether Teslas can drive themselves, 90% of them would say yes, of course they can, when in reality they're merely on par with other makes and models that have had the exact same driver assist features for years.

It's misleading at best, and lethal at worst - lives have been lost because drivers blindly placed their faith in autonomous driving features that simply do not work as implied. Go ahead and chalk that up to the drivers not being attentive enough, of course they share the bulk of the blame for not being in control of the vehicle they're driving, but it's hardly a surprise that many Tesla drivers have been lulled into a false sense of security by Tesla's marketing.

But again, nobody is arguing that Musk is running a straight up scam or that the products don't exist, the criticism is that he is constantly making promises and predictions he can't fulfil, constantly making claims that sound impressive until you look beneath the veneer, and whenever he is challenged to back up his assertions he either messily dodges the question or launches into yet another Twitter rant, and all the while his fans eagerly accept whatever he says without any care for objective reality.

That's probably why they focussed on making the compiler as simple and straightforward to use as possible, so it does not significantly increase the complexity of your build process.

My experience is that concentration directed meditation is more like a tool. You can use concentrative skills to advance towards direction you want in the life. You are in control.

If you do awareness oriented practice long enough, it starts to work on you. You are on the ride 'to the unknown'. Motivations change and unless you make nessesary changes in your life, you lose motivation and have life chrisis. Usual solution is to quit meditation or do so little that you don't change. Many people have romantic notion of transcendence and enlightement, but when meditation starts to really work they realize that's not what they actually want. Change is scary.

If you think people are full of shit, you've been listening to the wrong ones.

Personally I never claimed that I will quit Facebook, because I know I ain't going to do it, as all my family is on it.

That said, I only visit Facebook about once per week or even less, because frankly it's not that interesting. I was also checking out my ads profile. Turns out, I never clicked on any ads. And when posting content, I'm always careful to post for my friends only, which isn't a big list of people. Meaning that in the large scheme of things, Facebook isn't getting much from me. My social network of choice has been Twitter.

I also own two cars. But I ride my bike to and from work every day, in all seasons but winter.

I ate a lot of meat, but I'm trying to cut down on it due to health benefits. Considering that I gave up smoking, sodas and alcoholic beverages completely, it's a little hard for me to further restrict what I put in my mouth.

And yes, I am only human. FYI the actions of any one particular individual to cut down on usage based on moral or social factors are zilch. If you want meaningful change, there are only 3 ways to do it:

1. invent technology that makes the status quo irrelevant, but this isn't actually something that most of us can do

2. keep the competition alive by voting with your wallet, because every dollar counts

3. get involved in politics, or at least talk more often with your representatives, go vote and convince the people around you to do the same

Because cutting down on meat due to environmental reasons, quitting Facebook and so on, that's the bullshit we do to feel good, but doesn't actually matter.
I’d argue: the problem with progressive taxes is ... ok, the problem with taxes as a means of wealth transfer is it puts the money in the hands of politicians, who are themselves already wealthy, to spend on behalf of their drinking buddies.

I don’t believe these problems are solvable in the strict sense, but they are fun to critique.

the GOP, which controlled both Houses for 6 of his 8 years

False. They only controlled the House for that time. This is a very basic fact to get so wrong.

What is true is that he was the only President in a generation who controlled both houses and had cloture majority (60+ in the caucus) in the Senate all at the same time.

He never "veered right" in any way.
Generally, you exchange wealth for goods made from natural resources.

If half the wealth is tied up in 8 people who could not possibly spend it, what do you think would happen to the earth's natural resources if it were suddenly dumped on the bottom 3 billion? It would be a huge boon to the economy at first, until we burnt through every resource.

To be clear: quickhull is not "easy" compared to other things you might program, it's an involved algorithm. But honestly, all Voronoi/Delaunay algorithms are difficult to implement in performant fashion, there's no free lunch.

The hardest part of quickhull in 3D is the "horizon" calculation: basically, every time you add a point to the hull, you have to find all the faces that the point can "see", and the horizon of all those faces, and replace them with new faces. This page describes the horizon part well: http://algolist.manual.ru/maths/geom/convhull/qhull3d.php

And consider that the response to that is likely to be different for people who learned computing on environments like Windows (where global menu bars would be really weird), Mac OS (where they're normal) or various earlier UNIX GUIs (where who knows, anything goes and each application probably does it differently anyway), or on smartphones or tablets, which is where a lot of younger people are getting their first experiences of computers.

> This looks like a one-sided law.

Yet the law says:

Ignoring fair use is neither appropriate nor proportionate. Also, taking someone's works down falsely would be a violation of this same article, since the content provider is obligated to

> take measures to ensure the functioning of agreements concluded with rightholders for the use of their works

which obviously precludes YouTube from just deleting your content on a false positive and not providing you with any recourse. Furthermore, article 13 only applies to

> providers that store and provide to the public access to large amounts of works

and not smaller companies. The whole article basically sums up the idea: work together.
From looking at the traces, the performance difference between the two is minimal (on a per op basis). This mainly because both the Java and Rust services don't do much beyond interfacing with Redis/Tile38.
