Pretty sure mutating own properties is undefined, but I'm years out of working on any JS VM and only vaguely pay attention (and looked into this a few months ago and was surprised to find iteration order still undefined!). I wonder how many unique behaviours we have with iteration order now… Is Gecko the only odd one out? Is there still any implementation that has different behaviour with dense/sparse arrays (by which I mean properties not the Array object)?

Microsoft's WHPX is closed source: we are stuck with an incomplete instruction emulator, no guest debugging support and other shortcomings. All of this locked to a single host OS. Same thing goes for Apple's HVF. Each vendor seems to care only about their own software and hardware.

I'm afraid that the ecosystem of hypervisor APIs are going the same way as with graphics APIs, e.g. thanks to Direct3D and Metal. I believe we should disregard such APIs in favor of cross-platform open alternatives such as Intel's HAXM: Support for Linux and AMD SVM is planned on my side, as it serves as basis for my PS4 LLE emulator.

Oh my god. Are you serious? This entire debate and your source has been the Oxford dictionary? The Oxford dictionary?

Empiricism is a view of epistemology, that cannot be reduced to a definition in the Oxford dictionary.

If you look at the link below, you'll see just how murky the field of empiricism is.

I'm sorry for assuming you were speaking with any depth when talking about empiricism. If your base entire arguments on dictionary definitions then it's no surprise this conversation is going in circles.
The US is much richer than 80 years ago, so it’s way more likely than billionaires come from comfortable middle-class families, of which there are many more now.

The statement you are defending was "Being able to transfer value between two parties without having to trust anyone has value." Compared to wire transfers, one is required to trust the intermediary in that case.

I think at that point it becomes fair to ask: what is the likelihood that I am going to lose money unexpectedly to my credit union, or my recipient to her bank? And then by comparison, what is the likelihood that I or my recipient are going to lose money to coin theft, exchange failures, fluctuation in valuation, or other things inherent to dealing with blockchain transfers?

Rightly or wrongly, I think many people would rate potential losses higher with blockchain solutions than with USD wire transfers. I know I would.

That's a fair point, but I'd imagine one objective of normalization is to avoid moving the market in a substantial way, whereas the explicit goal of QE was to lower rates.

In contrast, the ICO for SingularityNET has actually done quite well and received 5 times the amount of demand expected for their token sale; they postponed the end of their token sale date to properly handle the overwhelming demand. Feels most ICO sites are giving them 4/5 rating on average, but we'll how that goes. I think the reason this one in particular is doing so well is that the purpose of the sale feels useful, which is "to let anyone create, share, and monetize AI services at scale". According to them, the world’s first "decentralized AI network" has arrived.

Anyone have thoughts as to why this ICO could be different? ICO Drops says it was a whitelisted ICO:

https://icodrops.com/singularitynet/

Interesting note from the website: "While we are aware that the AGI token is currently being traded on some exchanges, we do not encourage or facilitate this exchange trading in any manner. Speculative secondary trading is against the spirit of the AGI token and SingularityNET project. We strongly discourage speculative secondary trading and officially ask AGI token holders to act accordingly."
But when an individual says that they are a "professional", they could easily be using either definition, and still be using the word correctly. The OP said "Software engineers don't understand they're not professionals..." as if only the first definition was correct.

A day hiking makes me feel good for a week. The outdoors is truly outstanding therapy.
high-res maps help localize the vehicle. All of the sensors on the car (cameras, GPS, radar, lidar, sonar) all have some degree of error, and have their own respective strengths and weaknesses.

In order to know where the car is located at any given time, the vehicle uses data from the gps and a combination of any of the other sensors to help localize itself in the world. Relying on just GPS is risky and error prone, so fuzing that position with matching landmarks from the field of view, or lidar is a way to improve positioning.

This is especially important for determining which lane the vehicle is in, where it needs to be in order to take a proper exit or turn, and what potential obstacles or traffic scenarios it might encounter depending on where it is located on a road.
> Being able to transfer value between two parties without having to trust anyone has value.

The value of a currency is based on nothing more than trust. It’s because people trust a (crypto)currency that it has a value; trust is the very thing that makes a dollar bill having more value than a random piece of paper.

> Except Nintendo could do that and be fine.

I believe otherwise. Most of Nintendo's marketing and appeal is based around gameplay and nostalgia; not graphical prowess.

A Nintendo more powerful than one X would cost more since Microsoft amortizes some of the cost over Live services and in-store purchases whereas Nintendo focuses on 1st party games with no recurring revenue. Price elasticity is perhaps most visible in the console arena where consumers are extremely sensitive to upfront costs.

Rome. Even if you aren't a history buff (I am not, myself) it is still a rich story.
There is some merit to that idea but I think you may be missing a few things. Often, parking is placed between a bike lane and the side walk. Bikes need to be able to cross lanes, often in cities, to make left turns. How can they do that when they're up on a curb to start, but additionally, with potential street parking in the way?

I think technically in many jurisdictions, bikes are to be treated as vehicles. Whether or not they're always treated that way is up for debate (and vice versa), but it may explain also partially why things were done that way.
You’ll be more productive at your computer if you take time to get out hiking some days.
I was being a bit facetious here, but there is some truth to it. Though I can't pinpoint exactly why, Vancouver seems to have have developed into a very sanitized and homogeneous place. I don't know whether it's the cost of living or how many identical skyscrapers have been copy/pasted by the same developer, or how many swaths of older buildings and cultural landmarks have been bought up (or attempted to be bought up in the case of the Rio Theatre) and demolished to make way for very similar looking high rises. Many of these things seem to be coming together to subtract from any sense of character that the city might have had. My sense is that a sense of place is much stronger in various subcultures like skateboarding, but I think there is a stronger tendency for people to meet through an activity and then part ways only to schedule a new meeting a month later. It's a city that is simultaneously one of the most ethnically diverse places around, and culturally bland/white/rich/tasteless/pretentious/nofun. I do like this place, but I tend to think that the things I like are despite the city itself, and are often found in close proximity to the city rather than in it.
In German they call such a thing eierlegende Wollmilchsau (legendary egg-laying wool-milk-sow). Ultimate example is the Airbus A400M.
A company that comes to my mind is Kestrel Aviation. They had a great plan up front, founder pedigree, and experience. But they got distracted by hubris and stopped executing.

Launching a new general aviation company is massively capital intensive. They raised a bunch but failed to do anything that resembled shipping. They could have made individual parts, they could have sold kits. Any number of things.

Sometimes you have to start with the small pieces, or do services engagements. These things generate revenue, attract staff, and enable you to build the kind of organization necessary to do something capital intensive.

Do you understand the concept of a stock share?

Well, just remove the company, the product, and the regulation, and that's an ICO.

The issuer of the coins/tokens do not have to buy anything back. The idea is that they will increase in value and function, and others will want to buy them from you.

It goes like this:

1. "RichCoin" is created and the creators begin selling them at 5,000 Richcoins for 1 Bitcoin. Ads are pushed across social media platforms and web communities are seeded with information that encourages people to invest.

2. 50,000 people spend a total of 1000 Bitcoins buying the first 5,000,000 RichCoins.

3. After public launch, 5,000 people sell their RichCoins to late investors, netting ~20% profits.

4. The remaining 45,000 people "HODL", hoping that their $1 RichCoins will one day become $100 RichCoins so that they can move to a private island and never work again.

5. RichCoins fall to 10% or less of their ICO value as all official websites disappear.

6. The creators of RichCoin, who long ago converted their 1000 Bitcoins to $5,000,000 USD, move to a private island and never work again.
I'm mostly an IntelliJ (and variants: RubyMine, Webstorm, Rider, PhpStorm, etc.) user, although I also use Visual Studio. In my experience, Emacs plugins for many languages often have a feel of working more on looking for matching words in the code rather than "understanding" what the code is doing, let alone suggesting good refactors.

I find that I don't need a debugger until I do. People are always asking me what debugger I use for go and I tell them I've gone months without feeling the need for them.

However every once in a while I need to use gdb + remote debugging features to figure out a particularly weird runtime issue and I'm glad it's there.

Then I can often take the odd values I see in the debugger and start putting them into a test or a minimal repro.

These sorts of broad cohort studies wind up being enormously useful. The Scandinavian study keeps returning good results even today.

I would, mildly speculatively, hazard that enormous cost overruns are permissible and acceptable to the tune of 1000% if we could execute a similar cohort study in the entire United States for 30-50 years. The wealth of knowledge they can reveal is absolutely astounding and informs post/ante/neo-natal care to the point of redefining key practices.

I gave up on HBO 15+ years ago after every single new show they made was nothing but a non stop stream of cuss words. Their only way to stand out just seems to be by bringing new levels of raunchiness to the viewer, and that gets old.
I don't buy the logic here, and I'm not sure David Sims does either; this strikes me as one of those headlines that was written by an editor, independently of the article.

For as much as anybody here likes HBO, the diagnosis Stankey (and, I think, Sims) has of it seems apt. HBO has a sterling reputation. But so what? Even today, they're no longer distinctively good; in fact, there are basic cable channels (AMC and FX) that have given HBO a run for its money.

Does anyone really believe that HBO is going to outcompete Netflix on original programming over the long run? Netflix introduces new programs like Google introduces new chat programs. It's not even an event for them. They just randomly drop them in the middle of the week, as if they don't have time even to promote them. Have you ever started an episode of Jessica Jones and had to wait 2 minutes for them to promo the next season of Mindhunter?

And that's just Netflix. Amazon will eventually figure TV out. Disney controls Hulu now. Apple is making a move into online video.

Meanwhile, after Game of Thrones ends, what's HBO got for tentpole series? Westworld? Besides the fact that it won't be airing again for 2-3 years, its renewal was not even a certainty.

I think Stankey is right. If HBO is going to be a factor long-term, a thing people pay substantial amounts of money to retain access to, it is going to have to look more like Netflix and less like a thing you pay your cable company extra for. HBO could afford lulls of a year or two taking flyers on just 1-2 new prestige series (Carnivale; Newsroom; Vinyl). But premium cable is over, everything is going to be disintermediated, and HBO will need to justify demanding $15/mo directly from people. I'm not sure it's worth that today.
The article gleefully ignores the positive side of these investments documented by the authors of the study:

>We find evidence of significant ICO underpricing, with average returns of 179% from the ICO price to the first day’s opening market price, over a holding period that averages just 16 days. Even after imputing returns of -100% to ICOs that don’t list their tokens within 60 days and adjusting for the returns of the asset class, the representative ICO investor earns 82%.

Not saying I want to participate in any ICOs, especially now that a lot of frothiness has gone out of the market, but this article is clickbait garbage if they can't even summarize some of the main points from the abstract.
