Another way to see this is that a computer with limited memory can be modeled as a finite state machine. For every possible arrangement of memory and other internal state, you have a node. Include the finite input as part of the state too. If your computer is deterministic, every state leads inevitably to one next state.

If your computation runs infinitely and there are finite states it can hit, it must hit the same state twice. Since there's only one thing it can do from that state, it will just repeat the same thing it did on its first visit to the state and eventually come back. So the machine is in an infinite loop.

This is true even if you remove the output storage from your model. You could have external storage and label each state transition with what it writes to the output. This tells us that either the output is finite or it's periodic. The digits in an irrational number are not periodic, so a finite machine can only output all the digits in a rational number.
Dart and NaCL (at least) are open source. People at Google do often try to change (they would say improve) web standards. This isn't inconsistent with supporting standardization, since the idea is that other browsers should implement the new features too.

Support for web standards doesn't mean always being a follower.

I spend most of my time actually programming in the language, not compiling it. So, I'm going to optimize for that, but to each his own I suppose.
Just the PS/2.

The PS/1 arrived several years later and was an attempt by IBM to reclaim some of the ground lost to the emerging "PC clone" architecture. It was an ISA bus machine with IDE drives -- the opposite of the proprietary MCA stuff going on in the PS/2's of the era (which by this point was largely regarded as a business failure).

> That's just not true. Functional programming does not eliminate state.

And yet it says so in the first sentence in the Wikipedia page for functional programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming

>a style of building the structure and elements of computer programs—that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data.

But I'll take it that you don't have much functional programming experience.

Of course one can still go with a big global array and keep updating it in-place. A good programmer can write Fortran (or C in that case) in any language.

Note that my original point was not that podcasts are centralized. I merely took issue with somebody else claiming that podcasts are decentralized. They’re decentralized for distribution. But distribution is the easy part on the internet. It’s aggregating attention that is the hard part. And that part of the podcast market is entirely centralized.

I will be surprised to see how this makes it to production. As most motorcyclists know, shaft drive is a maintenance dream — having it on a bike will be a thing of beauty.

As a YT clip pointed out, there are side loads induced due to how the shaft output end mates with the unified 'cogset' that will require stiffening in the rear triangles of the frame. It also would tend to jump teeth under high power. So, even when production costs scale down, it may be never be a drop in replacement for the classic chain-and-sprocket.

"Everything is a file" is a nice idea not taken far enough. The execution is full of frustrating omissions and holes at the edges, e.g.:

- unless you are using Plan 9 or gpm, reading mouse events is almost certainly going to be a lot more involved than opening /dev/mouse

- you can't portably use select() to wait on pthread conditions

- lots of useful things (like POSIX shared memory objects) are file descriptors, but aren't filesystem namespaced

Sometimes I wonder what the world would look like if Plan 9 had won.
I used to work in politics. It's hard enough getting 40 people to show up at an event with free food in beautiful weather. You'll never get enough volunteers that look normal enough or are skilled enough to look normal enough to pull this off in dozens (hundreds?) of places without getting caught even once. There are easier and more reliable ways of hacking the vote (voter suppression, which you may have heard about).
Or perhaps "abolitionist"? As in someone who wants to completely abolish the practice of forcing people to pay if they want to know what is legal.
Would a full UI redesign proposal be appreciated too?

I'd like to give it a shot if I found some spare time.
Any UNIX old timer knows that actually:

In UNIX everything is a file, except when it is not.
If you look closely, you'll see that "fix" is in scare quotes, indicating that dnomad doesn't believe war to be an actual fix, but nonetheless an inevitable consequence of extreme inequality.

I think that's wrong, though. Poor people do not have the resources to wage war. Wars are led by people with resources against other people with resources, with poor people only serving as cannon fodder. That also holds for revolutionary wars, e.g. pretty much any Communist revolution was led by middle-class intellectuals. So I think that inequality might increase criminality and strengthen violent gangs, but it's unlikely to lead to actual war.
OTOH, I have lived for two decades within a few blocks of a library (in two locations) and have rarely used it. That changed once I had a son, but I have found limited personal use. It would be better for the community if the libraries' locations were more densely concentrated in neighborhoods with greater social and economic needs. I greatly support the mission of our libraries despite my personal limited use; they are an important component in any progressive agenda.
Typically Clojure apps are structured to be reloadable meaning that you don't have any global state, and you can easily flush the current REPL state http://thinkrelevance.com/blog/2013/06/04/clojure-workflow-r...

There are also tools like lein-test-refresh https://github.com/jakemcc/lein-test-refresh that figure out what needs to be reloaded automatically. You start it up, it watches your namespaces for changes, and reruns tests as needed. As a bonus it can even hook into your OS notification system and let you know if any tests fail.
Latin American countries aren't producing terrorist sleeper cells. You don't hear about suicide bombings in Venezuela or Cuba or the many other countries the US has meddled in. There are many former French colonies and you don't hear about these colonies producing homegrown terrorists to attack France. We shouldn't confuse correlation with causation.
Consider trying rsync instead of scp - I've found it to be faster for multiple small files.
Or maybe it was always sick and is getting better? There’s no war in Europe. No war in the Western Hemisphere. Violent crime in the US is at a multi-decade low. There has been a human in space for the entirety of the 21st century. Most of the world carries a supercomputer with instant access to the sum total of human knowledge in their pocket.

We live in an age of marvels.

If society is indeed sick then the cure probably isn’t worth it.

That depends on the file system (and, possibly, the OS, but I think the OS should just forward the call to the relevant driver and return its result)

FreeBSD’s man page says (https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?sektion=2&query=read):

[EISDIR] The file descriptor is associated with a directory
residing on a file system that does not allow
regular read operations on directories (e.g. NFS)

NetBSD says something similar, adding ”The readdir() function should be used instead.”

I also am not convinced that, for example, the Linux man page (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/read.2.html) guarantees you get EISDIR when reading from a directory. It says that if you get EISDIR, fd refers to a directory, but isn’t explicit about the converse.

I never had such appreciation for Plan 9, as I consider Inferno the best design of what they were trying to achieve.

The only caveat was that they never came around to add an ahead of time compilation support to DisVM.

Science Fiction Is Not Social Reality
it also would be very believable to learn that lobbyists from some of the larger standards orgs [...]are encouraging politicians to actually reference "the standard

This is true

thought by the lobbyist of "this will drive more sales for us".

This is not. The money just isn't all that much, the industries want standards incorporated into laws to that organizations have one well-tested set of rules to follow across the country, rather than having to follow dozens/hundreds/thousands of variations across various jurisdictions.
strange article, not fully accurate either.

> no one individual gets to choose precisely what changes it produces. As one friend who had started T said to me, “Let me know if you find a way to get the big muscles and keep the head hair!

Actually, we know. DHT causes the male pattern baldness. The conversion from T to DHT by 5 alpha reductase can be blocked by drugs.

We don't have good topicals or selective drugs yet, so people complain about the side effects of current drugs like finasteride. But it's not like we are talking of a huge scientific unknown, or if it is impossible to do that is described.
It's easy to decide where you stand (at least for me it is) on the question of whether access should be free. It's less obvious what is the correct way to implement that.

It would be perfectly reasonable for the state to just pay the standards body a fee for, essentially, help in writing the law. Legislatures already pay lawyers to formulate the legalese of regular laws, so paying for such a service would hardly be weird or out of place.

Shared memory is faster than sockets
Two thoughts.

1. I can't get over how primitive the Windows UI was compared to Mac years after Mac shipped. Apple began the Macintosh project in late '79 and by Jan '84 shipped both the Mac and the OS. Microsoft began Windows development in '81 and didn't really catch up UI-wise till Windows 3 in 1990. Meanwhile, Apple would squander its head start, not shipping an OS as technically sound as NT (1993) till OS X in 2000.

2. I have yet to read a flattering portrait of Ballmer and here he almost kills Microsoft going all in on OS/2. Was Microsoft successful in spite of him?

On the backend my API is using node+koa and postgres+postgis. Front end is vue. Koa is amazing, and there's a postgis package for knex (a SQL query builder) that lets me do geospatial stuff right in node, which is a game changer. Backend is deployed in containers, Google container registry builds the images for free on every git push and custom bash scripts deploy on the digitalocean instance. Front end is deployed with Netlify, also on the free tier, and also amazing. It's incredible how cheap (and mostly free) it is to deploy side projects these days!

Nail Your Software Development Workflow Early
Frankly, I have mixed opinions about this blog post. Good for discussing types of papers, and that for the toy you can write convolutions by hand (which, IMHO, is by not means any argument against CoordConv!). I adore toy problem they (author of the paper) picked, and if anything, it is an argument for their choice of the toy problem (unsolvable by typical conv, trivial when added x and y channels).

In science it is crucial to make many failed approaches, not only approaches of things that we are sure they work. So yes, it's good that they burnt 100 GPUs on a problem that didn't work. And in fact it is much better standard than most deep learning papers I read, when they focus mostly or only on problems in which architecture is better.

Plus, it works for object detection, so it's not a "MNIST-only trick".

After reading it, I realized I was actually hoping for information at a lower level than VM for memory pressure. Actually finding live, actionable information about DRAM bandwidth usage, delays caused by the hardware system of caches including TLBs, L1/2/3 caches and main memory contention, etc. I have not found that existing tools are insufficient in monitoring/dealing with VM swapping - OTOH I usually seek to keep that at zero and leave a little swap just to allow for some chance of alerting and recovery before OOM killer kicks in.

Again, you can't do computation without state. The only question is how honest you want to be about it. And whether you put things in global tables or not is completely orthogonal to whether you mutate data or make new data.

And please, no beaten up buzz words and selling pitches needed.
This seems like a thought out list of recommendations. I have enjoyed going through some of those books myself. However, the persuasive argument seems rather biased and somewhat toxic. There are many software developers out there, without a strong CS background, who write useful tools used by other developers. Does anybody here use Homebrew? The author admits that Homebrew is not the perfect software, but I think we can all agree that it's highly successful and helps many developers every day.

The field of computer science can be rather punishing if you don't grow up with a STEM mentality. I don't think there's a need to put any more pressure on developers and tell them they are not on a path to make enough money, that they will not work on interesting problems and that they have to spend another 900 to 1800 hours before they are worthy.

We should instead foster a mentality of inclusion and promote learning by getting people excited about spending 100 hours on a particular subject and not persuade people to learn based on the fear of missing out. And we're not addressing the really big elephant in the room. So many bright people spend 900 to 1800 hours developing their CS skills and end up working on trivial things that could just as easily be tackled by somebody with a bootcamp background.

That’s a looooot or claims without anything like citations and support in that blog. It all sounds alright until you realize it’s a house of cards shown to you at a very particular angle under the best possible light. I was sort of curious if it was a one-off from someone who didn’t know how to source their claims, but reading some more on that site it seems to be more like very genteel propaganda. The theme seems to be a retread of old ideas on sex, race, and genetics arrived at by cherry picking results which agree with the premise. Well written prose, but devoid of intellectual rigour.
You could probably find this info in the trade press like InfoWorld, but yes, Microsoft was essentially giving-away Windows to get it catch on. 3rd party ISVs also used "runtime Windows", and you could get a full copy free with a MS mouse, or Visual Basic, or etcetera. You could also give copies to all your friends and coworkers, there was no copy-protection, and the software police didn't mind. Didn't really catch on until Windows 3 however.

Yes, it's true that Chrome has closed-source components. Meanwhile, Chromium is still available. Node and Electron wouldn't exist without having Google's work to start off with, as a base for the work of many others. (Though of course Google was building on the early work at Netscape, and some features of web standards were invented at Microsoft, despite IE not being open source at all).

This way of building on the work of other people (hopefully giving due credit) is how open source is supposed to work. It doesn't mean Google can or should do everything for the community; if we don't like the direction Google is going we need to do some of the work ourselves.

This is good analysis. Not to say that the "correct result" is the best result - we'd find a way (laws) to force profits to prevent fairly likely disasterous events from happening in the first place. In a competitive marketplace with enforcement of the spirit of those laws that would mean companies try to innovate and drive down the costs of implementing those changes. It would also mean that competition woult keep a lid on profits from becoming too great, creating motivation for companies to simply pursue the most profitable thing. As a natural market (essentially infrastructure) monopoly, things are different.

If infrastructure/natural monopolies are run by the state, that is a decent solution so long as people are elected into power that understand they're making decisions to maximize the benefit of the citizens.

What is needed is tighter enforcement or a framework which incentivizes entities for innovating ways to improve services to their customers and minimize societial impact. While bankruptcy and the bond market is a decent check on that behavior, those who enacted those policies and made more profit with them enriched themselves and simply had the clock run out on their corner cutting not causing external damage (externalities on society). It doesn't prevent that behavior but it does prevent it from continuing.. for some time until the new board looks for ways to further their return on investment. Which eventually leads to the similar damaging behavior.
Hehe, well we could have unions & oneions. For some reason as I'm reading about octonions, I keep picturing 8-cloved garlic.
Even if that were true, what’s your point? My point is that if you attack other nations, they will fight back. And they have every right to do so. We can discuss about the methods of resistance. I do not think it’s OK to target civilians under any excuse. By that measure, the US government is the biggest terrorist of them all. You want to fight terrorism? Start with your own government.
