Not sure what you're trying to say. The market needs a small number of investors who, based on perceived value, engage in price discovery. Once prices are discovered, as per the Efficient Market Hypothesis (which isn't 100% efficient!), one's marginal ability to pick stocks and beat the market is slim to none. For passive index investing to work though, it's necessary to have some people attempt to beat indexed investments. In the end, indexers can be lazy and free-ride on that price discovery. ;)
FSMs are amazing, and are the one thing I learned from a programming book. I could not resist teaching it to an interviewer during a coding challenge... don't they cover FSMs in code camps?
That's not an accurate summary of the reasoning. It's not just the complexity it adds to the compiler, but to the type system in general, and to the complexity it may bring to user code.

The Go team is not against adding generics, and there have been proposals for them. They have simply not landed on a proposal that they feel is a strong fit for the language.

Carpenter appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court, contending that the Constitution required that police first obtain a warrant before getting this location information from a service provider.

This paragraph makes it seem like the govt must get a warrant before it can ask the service provider for that information.

As I read the parent, they're using "do [the] trick" in the idiomatic sense of "get the job done" (more commonly heard in phrases like "X did the trick"), not saying that there's a specific "trick with runtime validation" that they want to do.

>, Android Studio actually has the CLion C/C++ module intergrated for NDK.

Right, but I was responding to gp's question about "focus" of the IDE and not just about the extended capabilities (plugins) for NDK.

The "focus" of Android Studio is Java and example of that is when you click "New Project", you will get "MainActivity.java" as the starting file. You don't get "MainActivity.cpp".

In the full Clion IDE (not the CLion plugin), the focus is C++ because the "New Project" auto-generated file is "main.cpp".

>I think the author of the post is complaining about lack of JavaScript

The gp used the phrase "neither of which" that seems to refer back to "two ways" and therefore it includes question about native C/C++ being a possible "focus" for Android Studio.

I'm saying that whether Android Studio evolves to write "MainActivity.js" (Javascript React/Cordova) or "MainActivity.cpp" (C++ native) -- it is a philosophical decision outside of Android Studio. In other words, the Dalvik/Java VM as the foundation seems to dictate the programming tools' "focus". Maybe if Google makes a drastic change to Android and make the V8 engine the underlying runtime instead of Dalvik, the "focus" of Android Studio would then switch to "Javascript".
MRuby[1] is another option in this space. From what I can tell the work for MRuby began around the same time as micropython, though micropython has seen more adoption.

The semantics and capabilities of Gravity mirror those of Lua almost exactly. Class systems, there are literally hundreds to choose from, basic Object/Method support is built into the language. As for globals detection, http://lua-users.org/wiki/DetectingUndefinedVariables and non-existent attribute lookup https://www.lua.org/pil/13.4.4.html

Anyone programing in Lua should be well versed in http://www.luafaq.org/gotchas.html

Gravity's class system is inflexible compared to Lua where it has Multiple Inheritance https://github.com/limadm/lua-oo Prototypical OO https://github.com/nusov/lua-object or anything else you desire.

As for extending syntax and semantics, http://lua-users.org/wiki/MetatableEvents provide a clean mechanism to do so.

Lua coroutines are more powerful than Gravity's fibers.

I was hoping that Gravity had pattern matching support, but it looks like it does not.

Given that Lua has more capabilities than Gravity could you substantiate

On the recurrent laryngeal nerve in mammals: A direct route to the larynx already exists through the superior laryngeal nerve. A second path provides redundancy if one is damaged (e.g. by disease or developmental defect)

The nerve innervates the deep cardiac plexus at the bottom, and the esophagus and trachea on its way to the larynx. So the path needs to be run anyway, leaving little advantage to another route.

Gray's Anatomy (the book, not the tv show) says during development the recurrent laryngeal nerve provides "a means of support that would permit the ductus to develop as a muscular artery" which it can do because it "has a greater proportion of connective tissue than other nerves, making it more resistant to stretch." Having a single cell build itself into a giraffe (or human) requires scaffolding along the way, and having the scaffolding that is also reused as a functionally redundant component of its own is better design than if it were not.

The inverted vertebrate retina is needed to allow additional cooling through blood flow. This article goes into additional tradeoffs in the design: http://www.quarkphysics.ca/scripsi/vision-of-octopi-and-the-...
> It is interesting that this science has so many people trying to argue it away. Can they predict a moon eclipse accurately themselves? They still do not doubt the prediction. Can they predict the existence of the Higgs Boson, the effects of general relativity on the signal of GPS satellites, the exact path a solar system probe will take? There are so many things science predicts, but not a lot of people try to argue.

Oh, there is SO much that could say about this stuff, but I won't because I've already spent too much time around here. I will leave you with this little nugget, though, because I found it quite hilarious at the time.

Some years back I attended a computer conference where one of the folks there was receiving an award for using "actual science" in the production of computer animation. What he'd done was try and take orbital models and other data from NASA and use that to produce animation which correctly showed the path of a spacecraft traveling from Earth to Mars (I think it was), instead of just winging it like most animators would do. Except when he tried to actually use this stuff to generate the animation it didn't work, and in his simulations he ended up missing Mars by a wide margin. After some back and forth with NASA and taking some additional stabs at it, the situation was a bit better but in the end he still ended up having to draw a lot of that orbital path by hand - maybe 1/3 of it. He told some of us that he felt like an imposter because he was receiving an award for something that he felt like he didn't actually do.

And I thought this was kind of funny because it seemed to accurately sum up the state of "science" these days. Here you have an authoritative source sending out models and data and such which doesn't appear to actually work, in large part. But, you know, if you just go ahead and fudge it enough to try and cover up the flaws with it then you can still win accolades for that!
He did not assert that "his field" was "business". This is a misrepresentation of what was actually said.
Thanks, I really liked the comment on chores with kids. I thought about that a lot this morning. Some people grow up doing nothing for themselves and seem to be successful in their specialization. Personally, I think the people that came from nothing are more of an anachronism than the curated upbringings (biased of course). Curated upbringings seem to have more reliable outcomes. Computers also ended up being my career and passion, but philosophy, architecture...

On money, it feels like a double edged sword. It makes life convenient, but it also disconnects us. As you point out, it only holds value in a situation, and it doesn't buy health, relationships, or time. I ride public transit to work for perspective.

TLDR; But the soviets lost.

I'm not an expert in soviet history but I feel like their efforts around science and technology were economically unsustainable and almost all of them were directly or tangentially related to the military. I don't remember the soviets exporting consumer goods to the west.

Academic freedom isn't the only freedom that scientists and engineers care about.

I don't doubt that china can spend a ton of money, trap its engineers/scientists and use its media machine to try to keep its population focused on nationalism. I just think that if that didn't work for the Soviets it wont work for China.
That said china's current system will probably work great right until it doesn't. Idk I'm just some person on a computer though....

>Thanks for the quote! However I think it's more about Coke being a consumable and arguably a commodity... and not entertainment.

America commoditised entertainment through technology. The radio and the gramophone allowed a farmer in rural Maine to listen to the Metropolitan Opera in their own home. Movie theaters brought the greatest actors in America to every small town. The egalitarian nature of popular culture stands as one of the greatest defences of consumer capitalism. A reversal of that trend points to a fundamental and worrying change in society.
> Interesting idea, that the mirror test for dogs is unfair because their vision sucks compared to their nose, but this reasoning seems to take quite a leap.

This has been a decades old complaint about the mirror test. It is a human biased test which favors the visual over other senses. Different animals use different senses. It would be like giving the mirror test to a blind person and then claiming the guy wasn't self aware.

Then there is the entire about what "self-aware" means, especially in the current environment where the "self" has taken quite a philosophical and scientific beating where the "self" like the "soul" appears to be a man-made illusion/fantasy.

> I love dogs, and don’t doubt for a moment they have some level of self-awareness similar to our own, but to me, this test stinks.

This is an age old philosophical problem. Should we expect a dog or any animal to have "self-awareness similar to our own"? If so, is it even possible to verify it either way? Considering our brains are different, is it even physically possibly for two species to be "self-aware" in the same sense of the word?
To be honest, this reads less like an attempt to integrate anti-harassment measures and more like an attempt to completely destroy a business trying to offer them. It further solidifies Twitter management as complicit in aiding and abetting the harassers by using its capital to eliminate a threat from the market. After the speed with which Twitter went after the ICE employees list, the evidence is clear that Twitter only has a problem tackling harassment when it's against marginalized populations.

Well, what actually happened was we agreed to transfer our options to the new company, but the vesting period started over again. Since the old options were worthless anyway, it sounded like a good deal (and it was the only option we were given). So then when we were all fired three months later, nothing was vested.
Hmm. The collegeboard numbers are significantly different than that:

E.g. Collegeboard has the average debt per graduate being $12,300 in 2000-01, whereas your source has it as being $22,500ish the same year. Maybe your numbers are including for-profit colleges? (Which isn't really appropriate, since they were very uncommon in 1990.)
>it can't be used on iOS

LuaJIT interpreter which is _faster_ can be used on iOS. So you would use an immature language everywhere because you can't use the fastest implementation on one platform (iOS), when infact, the LuaJIT interpreter is the fastest interpreter of any dynamic language on all platforms.

Wonkiness is not a substantive claim. How do class systems break because of it?
Don’t “make things up” (omit important information) the other way either. People give up (lose hope) seeking a job and can end up not “unemployed” but jobless. They’re at least caught in the labor force participation rate, but grouped in with retirees and children and other people who don’t conceivably need jobs.

I think this is an important point. If the board is trying to sell the company (assets), the acquirer will want an engineer to at least do a handoff. Having zero engineers left will be a disadvantageous state for the board, so you could potentially negotiate a carve out from the board for sticking around.

Exactly right.

It's worse. While they will say that's what they want (and they do want that), what they really want is to look at anyone at any time for any reason. Say, if you tweet something disparaging about police they'd love to be able to look at your info without asking anyone, to see if they can find something on you.

You have a pistol pointed at someone who you perceive to be a threat. The person charges you from 30 feet away. Do you shoot them? Does that change if they have a knife? What if it's dark and they're holding something that seems like a knife but you're not sure?

Holding a gun doesn't make you immune to being injured or killed. Pointing a gun at someone doesn't always make them comply. A gun is a deadly weapon, but it's not a token of immunity and compliance. Shooting someone doesn't magically stop them or cause them to become a statue or a corpse.

> cops shoot people into the back

You're a police officer. You're called to investigate a violent rape by a suspect armed by a knife. The suspect runs and is quickly getting away. Do you:

1. Shoot them in the back

2. Let them escape and possibly rape someone else, hoping you catch them in the future

Neither of those is a good outcome and, just to make things more confusing, different states and departments have different rules in those situations.

> still victims are smeared

You can't know who the victim is until after the chips have landed. If someone gets shot by a police officer, they might have been an innocent person doing nothing wrong, or they might have been a violent predator who sexually assaults and murders kids for fun. When we're trying to assess that situation, you need all the evidence to come out - whether that hurts the cop (How many times have they used their weapons before? Do they have previous misconduct charges? Have they made racially charged statements previously?) or the person on the other side (Do they have a history of violence and crime? Are they a known felon? Were they on drugs?)

There are a few YouTube videos of use-of-force activists undergoing police training (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfi3Ndh3n-g) and one of the things that stands out to me is that they are very, very fast to pull the trigger compared to most police officers. That isn't to say their points are invalid, but it's easy to criticize from a sofa and it's a different thing to be in that fight-or-flight life-or-death moment of decision making.
I don’t see how that’s relevant to the point I made. Regardless of any self imposed “responsibilities” at the end of the day if it was ever necessary the entire US military would be available to protect the United States and the people living here.

There’s no way to recontexualize the numbers such that we are in imminent danger if some software engineers decide they will not work on military contracts. We are absurdly far away from such a scenario.
