They are truly looking for feedback on these proposals. If you have thoughts on how could change to be potentially more compatible for future additions, consider doing a blog post write up and submitting it to them.
It depends on who you ask. Saying something in public or doing something against some of the hot, left-leaning ideas of this time (feminism, or homosexualism) could very well get you fired. I'm sure you can think of examples...

Problem is that some people want to lump, for example, "abortion is murder" and "burn all niggers" together so nobody can ever make the former point.
I guess sooner or later someone will link to these, so may as well be me :-)

This one I don't agree with. Heat pumps are typically a few multiples as efficient in terms of KW in to heat BTUs out. I'm not sure what useful point you are trying to make with this particular comment.

I often find that it surprised people to realize that a heat pump is effectively >100% efficient.
Due to a toxic reaction I'm advised to avoid rulide class antibiotics. When I mention this to medical people they often frown, once they've gone into the web equivalent of the PDR. They seem to take longer to find something to use.

My take-away from this, is that once you know you can't take a family of antibiotics you've "walked off the reservation" for standard treatment guidelines and made their job harder in ways which can potentially go to equally bad outcomes for you. Do they have a competent alternative? Whats the implications of moving up the drug "defcon" chart to something stronger?

Its not win-win to know you can't take a drug, its possibly lose-lose.

Not that there is an alternative. I'm just saying, that empowerment with knowledge you can't take eg Cipro has a consequence bigger than just "don't take Cipro"
> rarely will you see the same ad repeated everywhere

I rarely ever watch cable but I swear cable ads would repeat the same exact video ad multiple times per show but maybe it has changed nowadays.

> Why is it that way? Is it really more profitable,

Probably depends on the product. For google search where your search query is generally highly relevant to what you are looking for and therefore advertisers, probably not much. For facebook when I am scrolling through the news feed and I'm not looking for any product in particular, probably a lot because that is the difference between showing me a generic ad with low click through rates versus one that is tailored towards things I probably want and therefore much more likely that I will click on it.

I don’t know of any collected data to support the claims in this Quora answer, but I think it does a decent job highlighting the different interpretations of “popularity”: https://www.quora.com/Which-is-the-most-popular-Lisp-dialect...

What’s your definition of popularity when you say that Clojure “is by far and away the most popular lisp”?
As you said, the first level is the language syntax, var, control flow etc.
Second level, data structures, list and list comprehension, dictionaries etc.
Third level, recursion and algorithms, or how to solve problems in python, what you'll often see it referred as "the pythonic way".

Don't be too academic with these that it becomes boring, but just enough that you start feeling comfortable building some small console apps, that can read and write files, crawl some pages from the web, that kind of thing.

Once you're good with that, you can start with frameworks. The danger you want to avoid is to start too soon, and have a hard time separating the complexities of the language with the ones from the framework.

Sadly I've only spent a few days in Shinjuku, and those were the only two ramen joints I hit up. Fūunji is definitely known for their dipping noodles and that broth. If memory serves, Menya Musashi has a rotating menu so that can be fun.

My favorite of that trip was actually the Kio chain in Osaka (cold noodles and beer on a warm summer day were perfect). There are a ton of great resources for sussing out good ramen in Japan, thankfully.

What noticed though was that while all the ramen I tried was better than what I've had stateside, each ramen shop would typically nail one or two things and the rest would be good but not amazing. I never did find an egg as well cooked as I have in the Bay Area.

Also right by Shinjuku, the French bakery was pretty darn good.

This reminds me of Note Taker by Dan Bricklin, the co-creator of VisiCalc, which I used a lot until I got a retina device and it hadn't been updated (it looks like that problem has been fixed). The UI for inserting involved dragging and dropping rectangular selections like in paint. Write sounds like it has a much more powerful editing feature.

Good for them. The structural change needed in our industry is for labor (or, to use a term we're apparently more comfortable with, "talent") to reassert itself, and for tech giants to reconcile themselves to the fact that they're accountable not just to their shareholders but to their employees. I hope this gets nasty, and that these FB employees ultimately find recourse in the NLRA.

We forget that this industry is still young. It's probably not even in its adolescence. When I started working, there was no such thing as an Internet giant. There was Intel and Microsoft and 30 different PC clone vendors and a bunch of small software shops competing to get their boxes on the shelves at Microcenter. A lot of ideas we take as axioms --- for instance, the idea that developers can't organize to coerce changes in their working environment --- haven't earned that status, and deserve to be challenged.
I've done a major rehaul on my house.

- Removal of mould in basement
- Redid basement (plumbing + electrical)
- Full foundation waterproofing + french drain
- Full landscaping (asphalt, stone, sod)
- Full reflooring (tile + wood)
- Redid downstairs bathroom
- Redid garage

My suggestions?

- Keep things as simple as possible. I can't count the times I ended up creating problems by trying to be clever.
- Keep water out of the house. I would forego the basement completely and start from a concrete slab.
- Build on solid ground (i.e. rock) if possible
- Build on elevated ground with a good grade to keep the water away

I've lived here for 20 years and I think you probably just have Stockholm Syndrome. The built environment is still trash and hasn't changed noticeably the entire time. There have been a few tiny marginal improvements, such as a handful of signals for bikes. Bike share I guess. Otherwise total stasis.

The FAA is collaborating with Lincoln Labs to develop a new collision avoidance system using Julia¹.

A big factor in this is how much it cools off at night. It’s easy to cope with heat and design buildings around cool nights, but when the overnight low is over 90, you need air conditioning.
Sure, but I'm not the one who lumped those two together. That quote in the article says the conservative critics are the ones jumping to use Jones' ban as evidence of anti-conservative bias. The "critics" are self-identifying as Jones' allies. That is a red flag in my book since many of Jones' views don't deserve respect.
But ... given that Facebook has around 25,000 employees and the article said "more than 100" I think the word "some" kind of overplays it. A few 10ths of a percent pretty much rounds to 0.

I'm not sure if I agree with this change (there are positives and negatives to the bail system), but I love that in a federal system individual states are free to experiment like this. Maybe it will work, and then other states can adopt it.

Interesting point of view. Presumably, the views you agree with deserve respect, the others not so much. As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Yes, my intent was referring to reinforcement learning algorithms. Writing a handcrafted program to beat an arbitrary Atari game is trivial.

Yet on the other hand, it is apparent that reinforcement learning algorithms have surpassed humans in board games such as Go and Chess.

Chiming in on the questions regarding use cases etc.:

Aside from letting artists and engineers paint/sculpt/model more intuitively in 3D space, I still believe that the killer app for VR on the consumer side would be virtual tourism.

Coming full circle to the View-Master [0], except this time people could practically live in their favorite fantasy or sci-fi locations.

Imagine being part of the crew on the USS Enterprise, or idling the hours away smoking the halflings' leaf in the Shire..

Right now though, VR is just a fancy display tech, but with lower [apparent] resolution than many existing 2D displays and comparatively poor, often fatigue-inducing interactivity in almost all cases, apart from the aforementioned placement of 3D objects.

Why has nobody dared to drop the pretenses yet, and actually take VR to the level it professes to be: supplanting reality?

Make it more than just a display.

Invent some kind of cabin with climate control and aromatic components, that lets your other senses and your entire body feel like you're someplace else. Feel the tropical wind on your face without leaving the concrete jungle of your megacity.

Of course at first such tech would be too expense to have in most people's homes. So you might also usher in a renaissance of public arcades; VRcades? :)

People could start going there as an alternative to expensive vacations.

I've had two bespoke homes built for me in the Tokyo area and bought two cookie cutter homes in southern California.

For custom homes, the amount of details and things to consider for the structure itself is enormous. Each area is a specialized skill, from the paperwork and inspections, the waterworks, electrical, ventilation, lighting, accessibility, and more.

We worked with the architect for over four months, making him earn his pay to fit everything to our requirements. While we were quite demanding, the wife was an architect in California and I run software projects, we were sympathetic and tried to give clear change requests along with reasoning.

During the build, we visited the location regularly and was allowed to make last minute decisions. Again very aware to make sure the changes were trivial and straightforward.

While we settled on wood frame house (with ceramic sidewalls), we also looked at steel and concrete. I think the most compelling concrete build is this "Hebel House" with the use of aerated concrete. This type of concrete provides insulation along with other concrete properties such as resistance to fire.

For homes with modern amenities, there's too many specialized knowledge for one person to do a build in a reasonable time frame. There are firms with a team that can help with the build. And it's important for the most important stakeholder, you the owner, to be fully involved but also work with the experts.
There was never a time when different ideas were tolerated. The things we tolerate have changed. Maybe the time you speak of was the time when all of your ideas were tolerated.

In the past people tolerated the idea that it was OK to own slaves, now we dont. In the past people did not tolerate the idea that it is OK to be gay, now we do.
The idea that a bunch of highly paid conservative software developers would unionize and get the NLRB involved is rich.
I do not respect your view that not all views deserve respect.
This is very helpful!
DuckDuckGo is fantastic on mobile (iPhone). It feels way faster than Google for me — part of that is not getting the "Can I use your location?" pop-ups which then trigger a re-search.

Plus there's no AMP junk in the results!
And links are real links — when you copy them you get the URL, not some huge tracking string.

Occasionally I've felt like I'm not getting good results so have gone to Google to repeat the search. There hasn't yet been a case where that's helped, so I've stopped doing it.

"Free speech" as a general principle isn't about respect. It's a practical cease-fire: we agree to not try to censor your views even while it's within our power, and you agree to not try to censor our views even while it's within your power.

If Facebook has the right to set up their workplace such that mainstream right-of-center views are excluded, then other companies have the right to set up their workplaces such that mainstream left-of-center views get excluded, too. IMO, it's far better to cut as much of the political BS as possible so that the greatest number of folks can get along and work together - this is why a lot of workplaces have a professional norm against talking politics in general.

If you're a social media platform that possesses such a vast, overwhelming monopoly as what Facebook has, then you are capable of censorship. Your status as a monopoly means the normal market rules no longer apply to you. That you comply with the first amendment should properly be a pass-through legal requirement as a condition of your status as a monopolist.

If they resist cooperating with that designation, despite their monopoly, then we must regulate them.

Split off Instagram and WhatsApp from the core Facebook platform as an anti-trust action. At a minimum legally mandate that all monopolist platforms must equally enforce all of their terms of service for all users and must do so in a publicly verifiable manner. If they fail at that task, drown them in fines until they go bankrupt or stop selectively punishing some groups while allowing others to do the exact same things without punishment. Ideally, regulate Facebook and all such monopolist platforms that deal with speech as a form of public square.

I dislike Roy Moore and his politics. That doesn't mean I think it's ok for all the car companies to conspire together as a group monopoly and deny Moore the ability to purchase a new vehicle to punish him. Or that it's ok for the couple of telecom monopolies to get together and deny him access to the phone networks.

Denying voices access to the public square - Facebook's social monopoly - is equally reprehensible. The most important speech we protect, is the speech of the ugly minority, which is what both the far left and far right often represent.

I don't like seeing Antifa clad in black body armor, marching around with Soviet flags urging the adoption of Communism and the overthrow of the US Government. I similarly don't like to see it on Facebook. I fundamentally disagree with them. We should protect their right to that speech and their right to have access to Facebook's monopoly platform.
I feel like data driven journalism is a legitimate niche, and there's a lot of software involved in that, both in terms of analysis and presentation. D3.js was created at the New York Times, for example. If you are interested in exploring that possibility, I would suggest you emphasize learning data manipulation/analysis/visualization tools over front-end development. It's a harder route than trying to just become proficient in a web stack, and front-end work is easier to find, but it will probably be a lot more rewarding in the long run if you stick with it.
It's strongly typed. At the code level, it's dynamic, but you can strictly type your functions. For the types of workloads julia is best at (computational, batch) if you get a type error panic mid-computation, you've done something wrong, and it should be rare.

JIT is better described as "extremely lazy ahead of time compilation" (not my words). Except for globally-scoped commands, e.g. REPL (I think?) code is always going to be compiled before it is run.

Some examples of fantastic things I've done with julia:

1) wrote a drop-in replacement to IEEE floating point and evaluated numerical performance in operations like FFT, linear algebra, machine learning... I only had to write the basic operations + - * /, and a few algebraic functions like one(T). Everything else (matrix mult, linear solving, complex numbers) came for free.

2) wrote a Galois field type and ran experiments on Reed-Solomon erasure coding. Didn't have to rewrite the linear solver \ function. The builtin one worked just fine - well, in version 0.5 I had to patch it, but it worked great in 0.6 and beyond.

3) wrote a DSL that would "write verilog for me". I could pass an integer type and validate easily that the wires had the result I expected, then use the multiple dispatch on a "semantic type" which was a wrapper on String, which literally generated verilog instead of doing operations on numbers. Then I used verilator (an open source verilog -> C transpiler) to dynamically generate the verilog into a .so file, upload it back to julia, and then run full set of unit tests against both. This suite took me a week to write.
Stock market aside, it is yet to be seen if Netflix model is viable on long term. Current content budget growth is larger than revenue growth and lot of the new memberships are coming from International market which will saturate at some point. The basic hypothesis here is that $10/mo per subscriber would be enough to sustain roughly $700 million/mo content budget. This is quite possible if you had 70 million subscribers. HBO on the other hand 130 million subscribers but they do this by sneaking in package deals with cable plans. However there is no magic here with idea or business plan. You can think of whole deal as Netflix turning itself in to Internet version of HBO. It will just work as good or as bad.
