G1 does a lot better here in my (somewhat limited) experience. There's some overhead, and you have to give it some extra space, but the mixed collections are decent at making their way through medium-aged objects that survived to the old generation. Still nowhere close to 5-10ms though, and with a fair bit of memory bandwidth burned copying it through the survivor spaces.
It's cynicism, but that's hard not to contract these days. If you've been around the Internet long enough and know something about anything even remotely scientific or technical, you quickly learn that:

- You can't trust scientific press releases at face value.

- You definitely can't trust science reporting in media, or any kind of reporting for that fact (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gell-Mann_amnesia_effect).

- You can't trust companies not to oversell themselves, in particular startups like this, you never take them at face value.

People are much less cynical when a company is open about what it's going to do and how, talking science and engineering instead of marketing & PR bullshit.
Inventing new things is really, really hard. Just think about how you would invent bow and arrow. You would first have to come across the concept of hurling pointy objects. You'd need strings. You'd have to notice that a taut string can be used to shoot pointy objects. And then you'd have to refine the concept until it works better than just throwing a spear yourself. Especially the last step is really difficult. Spears are very effective weapons, especially if you use a spear-thrower.

And if you haven't invented writing yet, more likely than not anything you invent will be lost when you or perhaps your clan die. Even if you have writing, without the printing press and general education, more likely than not the person who could use your invention to build something better will never have heard about your work. Communication and trade was extremely slow until the invention of the telegraph basically, and regional disasters like drought could wipe out a lot of knowledge. Think how much progress was lost when the library in Alexandria burnt down.

I'm unsure how this works, because this technique wont teach you what the English equiv is when 2 (or more) words are next to each other are.

For example, COW + MEAT = BEEF.

牛肉

牛 = Cow

肉 = Meat

This is a very simple example but there are more complicated words such as Divorce.

In Chinese this is 離婚 which is 離 (from or without) and 婚 (marriage) but it's hard to learn that this is actually Divorce in English.

Edit: Wife is Taiwanese and I'm trying to learn Chinese.

If you didn't trust the closed source disassembler you use, for whatever reason, you would verify the assembly output, not the actual software. In practice this is often done unintentionally anyway: it's common to run a debugger (ex: gdb, windbg) alongside an annotating disassembler (like IDA). objdump (from GNU binutils) also supports many non-Unix executable formats, including PE (Windows) and Mach-O (OSX/iOS).

For fun I just compared objdump's entry point function assembly of a downloaded Pokemon Go IPA to the Hopper representation, and, no surprise, they are identical.

It isn't picking out just the Hanzi - it is picking out words! If you look at the second picture used it detects the top 3500 words from a .YAML file (and expects you to add words that are not detected in the top 3500 words).

For example, 離婚 is in the file.

- trad: 離婚
simp: 离婚
pinyin: lí hūn
defs:
- to divorce
- divorced from (one's spouse)
example_sentences:
- trad: 我想她會和他離婚。
simp: 我想她会和他离婚。
pinyin: wǒ xiǎng tā huì hé tā líhūn 。
eng: I think she will divorce him.

牛肉 is not in the file but is such a simple example. 牛奶 made the list though! So I guess milk is more common than beef.
It's also a confusing situation given the cyclical nature of headlines and government concern with Australia's brain drain (all the smart ones leave for better opportunities overseas), and the recent-ish pronouncements of Innovation! through having a specific Department and Minister for Innovation (which has now been decommissioned by the new Prime Minister).

... and the NBN debacle is another nail in Australia's "ability to compete on the world stage" coffin.

... and any lead Australia had in regards to renewable energy projects, investment, and research has been very effectively and efficiently squandered.

Rails was about the first time a functional language (probably other types too) had a programmatic proponent, it leveraged ruby to create an easy way to build web apps and people/companies wanted web apps. Just about every other language was full of smug proponents who just wanted to show how little code you needed to generate Fibonacci numbers, as if that was at all relevant to most developers. They spent so much time telling everyone why $lang was great and very little time showing them how it could be used for great things. Just looking at the pharo homepage this jumps out:

>Live, immersive environment: Immediate feedback at any moment of your development: Developing, testing, debugging. Even in production environments, you will never be stuck in compiling and deploying steps again!

That doesn't appeal to me at all. I don't want to be debugging in live environment, I don't want users or testers having that power and I don't get stuck in compiling/deploying steps.
It was copied. Php, Ruby, Powershell...
> They are not independent of it, under no definition of any of those words

Sure. But the words actually used were: "operating independently from", which is different.
I think it's even simpler than this: most people learn their primary skillsets when they are young, and start businesses when they see large opportunities for themselves.

Because most people learn their skills when they are young (and most don't pick up new technological skillsets after ~30), the logical consequence is that the young tend to be more tech-savvy.

As industries mature, the barriers to entry (and domination) increase. Again, as a logical consequence, the youngest industries (which have the youngest practitioners due to the above) has provides best opportunities for entrepreneurs.

As a result, would-be entrepreneurs of Google/Facebook/Amazon stature are going to skew young. And seeing as starting a Google/Facebook/Amazon requires as much (if not more) luck as it does entrepreneurial talent, it only makes sense that the group who holds the most lottery tickets is going to hold the most winning lottery tickets.

Notice that the above logic requires zero assumptions about the relative skill of older or younger entrepreneurs. It's mostly just a numbers game.

My suspicion is that, "per capita", older entrepreneurs who have kept up with the most recent technological advances are more likely to be successful than their younger counterparts... but I'll be the first to admit I'm just idly speculating.

Well, it looks like you did try hard then. You definitly get my respect for that. Your company and leadership sounds simply too stubborn.

In that case, I think there's only three options.

1) Resolute yourself that you won't be working in your preferred language. And try instead to find satisfaction in other aspects, such as your designs, maybe bring in some functional influences, adopt more data driven patterns, etc.

2) Look for a more open minded place to work. Honestly, that might be a good career move. If all they can hire are new grads or mediocre coders who can't pickup a new language, what's in it for you? Who will you learn from? Remember, 10 years from now, do you want to have 10 times the same experience, or 10 years of experience? If the latter, it means every year you have to be given an opportunity to take on something you don't know, that's at the next level of your capacity. Which allow you to grow, learn new skills and master existing ones.

3) Work to gain trust and leadership yourself, until you are in a position with the right authority to make the decision your own.

I think all three are fine choice by the way. With different trade offs of risk/reward/effort. It's a personal choice. I'm just listing them, because sometime we don't realize there are options.
As a pathologist working on a diagnostics project, I feel the tiniest bit bad for the Theranos team, only because I've seen first hand how the system ignores anyone trying to start up in this space, and only really responds to money. The frustration of trying to work in this space could easily crank up the gain on a subset of any given person's tendencies in such a way as to create a fatal flaw. To some extent I'm grateful I got to watch them blow up. For shame, but there for the grace of God go I.

Code + data + live instances of the code/objects. Like I said, I haven't been tracking how they do it, but I'm guessing that they only track code. If you want to be able to deploy an image directly, you either have to write scripts (and check those in too, either standalone "scripts" or class-side initialisation) or save the entire image and deploy that.

Saving the development image and deploying it directly is also not done that often because the development image contains things that can stripped off, e.g. development tools or object instances you use during development. Squeak and Pharo is usually distributed in various flavours, loosely — full and minimal images (I might not get the names right). So you take the former and install packages for development and the latter + packages for deployment, or you can build your own from the minimal image.

But through this you can see how different it is and while it's great in many ways, some of the differences make it harder for newcomers to start and harder for everyone to use it in production.

I forgot to mention Dolphin Smalltalk http://www.object-arts.com. It used to be a paid product, running on Windows. It has been open source for a few years now. I think product sales wasn't sustainable for the owners. But for several years, it is was the best Windows thick client development tool. It's a great example of Smalltalk well-done. You have the same image-based approach, but the windows are all native and familiar looking, so basically a multi-window development IDE. There's a deployment tool that helps you to strip down your image and build it into an exe (which was basically the Dolphin Smalltalk image + the shrunk image). It might still run, maybe it looks a bit outdated, it was actively developed until 2004 or so. If it still works, it's a wonderful way to experience Smalltalk.
I don't think an investment company counts as finance, though I agree the line is a bit blurred when it comes to private equity. Otherwise, you might need to throw in Abby Johnson, since she owns Fidelity and Fidelity is a major investor in Uber and many other pre-IPO (and post-IPO for that matter) companies.

The ROI of learning Chinese is very low, be careful.
Looks like it segments the dictionary and then looks it up. It could still be a problem if it oversegments, but if you look at the screenshots, most "words" are two characters.
NER might help here.
My favorite is how Skype did things like making calls using SYSENTER and reading the BIOS using NTVDM before MS bought them. Of course, you won't see MS employees talk much about it.
> The image-based paradigm [1] holds it back. Using Smalltalk, there's quite a change in development style, the existing development tools (text editors, version etc) mostly don't work [2], and deployment is at least slightly different.

It holds it back because it's a bad idea, otherwise Access/VBA apps would rule the world by now. It's a great environment for single developer RAD tools but it's horrible when you're trying to scale the team up because tools like git don't work well and you often don't want data to be shared between instances.
We've escaped the reign of biological evolution millennia ago. Ever since humans figured out how to learn and later write, we've been evolving society and technology orders of magnitude faster than biological evolution could ever hope to work. We are no longer bound by it. And given what's been done over the past couple decades, we're about to take control of our own genetic future as well. We will be able to repair, "update" and adapt our species' genetic makeup as we see fit, and this might actually be a prerequisite knowledge to achieving life extension.

So no, I don't think this argument for species holds either.
The Fiat 500e had two recalls while I owned it. Both were for a possible propulsion system fault that could result in the vehicle stalling while driving

I suppose it would be in poor taste to make jokes at the expense of Fiat reliability in this case. But holy cow, so much for the simplicity and reliability of electrics. :-P Thanks for sharing your experience. I will say as a counter example that our Leaf is the most low-attention vehicle we’ve owned. By eliminating gas stops, we literally just get in and drive between yearly check-ups (which amount to “check battery, change cabin air filter”).
It sure helps though. And being able to compare source code to binary is good for checking blobs.

No one knows what nasties are hidden in these blobs that run on EVERY phone out there. I’d actually go as far as saying cell phone processing modules are completely insecure. Unlikely to receive updates. Poorly documented. Security standards are likely to be weakly implemented with gaping holes.

As for proof, I’d point at the lack of source code as a starting point. Open source doesn’t guarantee security but it at least lets interested parties try to the degree they want or need to.
Perhaps so, if someone can figure out how to integrate a high quality AR display into something that looks like a regular pair of eyeglasses / sunglasses. But the technical challenges are huge and I expect that will take decades.

Both your examples seem to be a problem for someone learning english (i.e. there's a specific word for cow meat), but not a problem for someone learning Chinese. Perhaps I'm missing your point, but if I come across a word that translates to "cow meat", I also know that as "beef" in english, but it's perfectly understandable to me as "cow meat".

But going the other way, for someone learning english though, this is a problem. They may very well understand and know "cow meat", but have no idea about the word "beef" if they have not encountered it before.

Well, I think we can generalize that to many Tech Companies in general, if you examine their "value add" Google, FB, Linked-In, etc. There is something unappealing in quite a few. Not that each one is _all_ bad, but many have at least _some_ bad. in them. G and FB obviously trade in user data. On the other hand AMZ leverages many lowly-paid warehouse workers. Netflix is unapologetic about getting people to "binge", they don't even apologize for the word binge (which is typically associated with unhealthy alcoholic intake).

Yet, they all add some good value to many people as well, despite those flaws.

Wow. Impressive. But still, it was in 1983. Victoria police managed to arrest some of them, with no casualties. And ASIS head John Ryan was eventually forced to resign.
I completely agree with what you wrote here. I too fear this bad vision is quite likely to happen, and I strongly feel we're socially too immature for the technologies we already have. But I still feel it's better to risk it and fail, and hopefully get to try again, than to enter an "equilibrium" state, a stagnation phase right now (not that it's possible).
I’m German and I am sure I’ve never used this word. Few do. Some decades ago this might have been different.
Can you infer uninstalls from heuristics? If you're collecting activity metrics for app interactions and you get a complete dropoff for a given user, could you assume they have uninstalled? Even if they havent, checking in on decreased engagement might be an opportunity to get them before they uninstall.

Not sure what the timeframe is between a user trying it out and subsequently uninstalling, but if there is a bit of a time gap, the decreased interaction analytics could be a used as a leading indicator of pending uninstallation and used to trigger a win-back attempt?
It is a word, definitely more something you would hear a teacher say than say as normal person.
The use of unsorted vectors for sets was covered and benchmarked in a Scott Meyers [0] post from 2015. Facebook's folly library supports linear containers and maps for these small sets (~100 elements, as a rule of thumb, but measure), and I've rolled my own for specific applications.

Having the binary is enough if you know the architecture. But therein lies the problem with modern systems - you don’t always know the architecture or have enough access to explore. Intel ME is a great example.
FETs weren't desirable at the time though - which is why they didn't attain widespread use. Its very difficult to get linear behavior from a FET and at that time the primary use of the devices was analogue in linear mode. The BJT was more than just a patent workaround.

These days we can make linear FETs although they are still rare. Most are intended to be used in saturation as part of digital circuitry.
It wasn't pretty. But the argument was made that people were happier and healthier then.

Also, child mortality (and general mortality) was probably much lower - a lot of diseases, and especially pandemics, are tied directly to agriculture making people live with animals, and urbanization making a lot of people live together with a lot of animals on a small piece of land.
There are other reasons than simple return on investment for learning a language.

Several ways. They're actively looking into health sensor integration, with third party (and their own) devices, medical records, and with the Apple Watch as a continuous sensor. That's a huge market, even more lucrative than smartphones.

Second, they're better poised than anybody in this IoT thing, with their home automation platform.

Third, they are entering the living room, starting with the speakers, tv, etc. When they get serious with this (especially since they also combine it with their home automation) they'll have another nice market to tap.

Fourth, they've long since licensed Car Play, and they also have their own autonomous car project under continuous development. Whether in partnership with a car company or on their own, they can do quite well with e.g. their own electric city car.

Fifth, they also work heavily (and have made acquisitions etc) in AR / VR technology. If they put out some device, it wont be a prototype for enthusiasts like the one's we've seen, it will sell like crazy.
