If it's anything like Clojure/ClojureScript, the port would require work but be straightforward in most cases. Many people already use ClojureScript on Node instead of JVM Clojure. If you rely on JVM-only libraries for your core domain functionality, things become harder of course.
In the UK, problems in libraries are usually not homeless people.
Julia holds a lot of promise: the next 5 years will determine whether it can deliver on its quest to solve the two language problem.

Over the past few weeks I've been evaluating Julia as a potential R replacement. IMO, it's definitely not there yet. I've run into bugs, crashes, hangs, sluggish performance, packages that won't load in 1.0, a clunky REPL, and a lot of code that I can't trust has been as well peer reviewed as what's in Base R. It'll take me a couple months but I plan to write a blog post on my experience, and I'm no Dan Luu ;)

That said I like the design of Julia, and the mission or promise as I call it could eventually make Julia an R replacement (as well as a replacement for lots of other languages). I started using R in 2001-ish, and at the time I remember thinking no way would I switch to R from SAS. Today I laugh at that, but that's the difference that 15 years will make. Julia is still very young. It's advantage is the modern design. R is entrenched and robust, but let's face it, it's design is ancient, rooted in the Fortran-and-card-punch era, and there are things (eg. multithreaded) it will never do.

Julia is at a crossroads: the core developers are eager to listen to the community. Whether the devs can maintain grasp of their vision while still delivering what the community wants is yet to be seen. They're being pulled in a thousand different directions, based on everyone's desire for what they want out of Julia. This could end up a disaster if the devs don't stick to their vision. Even though it's not good enough to replace R for my daily work right now, I plan to keep using Julia and contributing, because in 5, 10, 15 years, perhaps I will feel about R the way I feel about SAS today.
I’ll piggy back on this and point out H Beam Piper wrote some really great action adventure sci, that although dated is a hell of a lot of fun.

I’d also note how remarkable the cover art on those old publications is. I’m constantly amazed, even the covers in the present article are extraordinary.
Why are newspapers so horrible?

My family used to get a paper newspaper when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's. It had all the regular stuff - news, local news, editorial, sports, etc. But mostly it was ads. On Sunday it was a monstrosity, being nearly unmanageable due to the number of ad inserts. Most of it you threw away without looking at. Most of the stories had no value. One day later I couldn't remember what I'd read, and years later it didn't matter. I've never gained any lasting knowledge from the news.

Very little has changed. News has been, and is, nearly worthless.
Hi,

I’d like to express my interest in the Developer Engineer (2-5 years) role at Carbon Five. I have done a lot of projects and many of them are there on my GitHub and Portfolio. Here is a link to my GitHub and Portfolio.

GitHub: https://github.com/addherbs

Portfolio: http://adipandey.com

Since the time I am in Computer Science Stream, I have been developing. Be it Algorithm, DB Structure, Websites, Android Application or Machine Learning projects. Hence, I would like to work as a Developer at Carbon Five. I have all the requirements that are there on the Job Description.

It if you could have a look at my Application it would be great. I can be reached at (313) 775-9172 and adi.pandeycs@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and I await a positive response.

Sincerely,
Aditya Pandey
each app having its own notification provider cones at the cost of extra cpu cycles, network calls, and interrupts. Worsening battery life.

It's likely in the users benefit to only have 1 notification provider
PyCharm also has these features. It's very solid
I work at a educational publishing company developing interactive digital books. Everyone involved in the publishing/editorial dept. is quite frankly completely clueless about technology. Not only they don't know it works, but most importantly they couldn't care less about it.

It would not surprise me the people at the helm in large newspapers don't really care about "the experience" and still think in terms of content + ads. Heck, even Wired's website is horribly bloated and slow.

I've got the former. I'd personally still also do the latter. Consider me paranoid, but if diagnosed, I'm sold on the side effects of a lifetime of valacyclovir being far less inconvenient than a descent into oblivion.
That's a reasonable stance, but I thought you were comparing it to OpenJDK. I don't think Graal is any less community than OpenJDK. Similar people (RedHat, AMD, Intel, many universities) contribute to Graal in the same way they contribute to OpenJDK. I suppose there isn't a formal community process for Graal?
How about a comparison with PyCharm?
AFAIK, signal doesn't work without GCM.
Right. It's historically been very assymetric - the content sites are risking their user's safety by working with shady as providers, but not their own.

Under a server-side include, the content company is just as at risk from malicious adscript as the client.
I have really no clue why a post from 2014, discussing the language at 0.4, is being posted again and also upvoted.
I gave PyCharm a go just about a year ago. Honestly, i think the UI in just about all of the JetBrains products are super sluggish and laggy and very long start up times, even on the top end Macbook Pros, especially compared to the experience that VS Code manages to provide. And on top of that i feel like there's already more useful extensions in VS Code.

No. You can give your email and it enables some additional functionality such as iCloud if you want to opt in to that but it’s not required.

When it asks if you have an Apple ID (which can be any email address) there is a skip button in very plain language on a very uncluttered screen where it is very easy to read.

And no, it never asks for a phone number. You are free to add one later though if you choose. But the OS doesn’t want it or use it...

The only place I can think of where you can put in your phone number is the Messages app, which is not even part of the OS.

You would do this on your own initiative by the way, not requested by the app or by the OS. Putting your number into that allows SMS messages to appear on your computer.
Clojure is actually a bunch slower than Java with idiomatic code, i the Python ballpark. But you can speed it up and make it mostly emit Java-equivalent JVM bytecode with a bunch of optional annotations.
I don't think there's anything stated in the article that I can't get with other IDEs. It reads more like an advert than a real blog article. So sorry, but no, I'm not going to switch to your favourite IDE.
Clearly you haven't encountered the Police in the UK. Unless it's a life or death emergency situation the default response is often one of disinterest.
I don’t get this article. China exceeded their economic growth target for 2018 in April when their economy hit 6.8% growth. Their wages are steadily increasing. Their internal market is the healthiest of any g20 economy. Investments both internally and internationally are up and their population has little dept.

On top of that they haven’t touched retirement age, so they have a lot of leverage there.
But if it can be shown that a number of people were hired in spite of not having a degree, does that defense then become worthless?
yup, I've seen it yesterday too... at least something good to come out from all this tracking
What's wrong with giving away phone number?
Controversies about this blog post and about Julia's 1-based arrays on HN often replace serious discussion about the programming language. Stefan Karpinski is one of the inventors of Julia, Dijkstra wrote a classic note in favour of 0-based indexing.
As a non-expert, it seems likely that of the 3 options, wealth transfer will be the main solution to China's debt problems. (It's worth noting, China's high corporate debt levels are, like Japan's, owed to mainly to domestic creditors, and I believe also denominated in the local currency.)

In a totalitarian dictatorship, "political opposition from so-called vested interests" is not that strong a barrier when political and economic stability is at stake.

I think while some unsustainable debt will continue to be allowed to default, a lot of debt will eventually be painfully bailed out by taxpayers (both households and corporations) over time.

This mean lower health, education, and social welfare spending affecting people who didn't cause the debt problem in the first place. That's just the unfortunate price of accumulating large amounts of non-productive debt.
Which is why I say we need a modern voting system. One vote for one person to one candidate creates this pro/anti party system. There are other options to consider, but of course the incumbents would fight it tooth and nail.

What about copyright? I believe the Java API issue was about copyright.
Yes. Which is why, in more recent times, businesses have started to transition to "Bachelors degree or related experience", as it can be claimed that those who work there had the required experience where the person bringing the case forward did not.

I really like VS Code feature wise, but always come back to Sublime or Vim because I feel there is a lag when typing. In comparison to Sublime, there is no lag when typing (or less lag).
I think we four are in the same Google Bubble. I have watched it just yesterday. The same exact video.
My local newspaper site works just fine with javascript disabled and with 20 or so tracking urls blocked in my hosts file.
The light grey text with the white background, seems to be a popular design choice. But I have trouble reading this page do to the lack of contrast.
Thanks but no thanks, I'll stick to PyCharm/IntelliJ.

At least the latter is using RAM & battery life to do useful things, instead of just running a browser and a glorified web app.

Also, it feels like an insult to say Sublime feels "old and hacky". If using 500+MB of RAM for something Sublime gets away with 100 (or less) is considered hacky nowadays, then I'm not sure what to say. VSCode doesn't seem to do anything groundbreaking either - I had all of those features thanks to Sublime plugins since 2014.
Honestly, I’m surprised that social media is a thing. It appears to make its users miserable, especially twitter and Instagram, and some of them barely break even.

That's true. There's a blood test you can do, though.

I agree with you on the startup time but after that it's honestly not that bad IMO. I'm using it on a tiny 12-inch MacBook with a dual-core processor and it works fine; and doesn't noticeably impact battery life (as opposed to Electron-based apps like VSCode).
Startpage and the like don’t get everything you find on Google. E.g. you can find today’s articles from even the most obscure blogs on Google. Searching for the same article won’t return that result on Startpage until at least a few weeks from now. I’m not sure if this is Google holding back on the good stuff, or if it’s Startpage not being willing to pay a higher fee.

Nothing is out the window- Alzheimers is still extremely mysterious. There are fungal, infectious, prion, plaque, vascular, diabetes etc. etc. etc. Theories that are all remarkably reasonable. The only thing thats really changed recently is that the most recent frontrunning treatment, an amyloid-related drug, didnt help.
The joke is that criticism of Julia is always the same: (1) Dan Luu's bad experiences in 2014, (2) some "giving up on Julia" blog post from 2016, or (3) bikeshedding about 1-based indexing. And when the discussion revolves around 1-based indexing, Dijkstra is almost always cited to prove objective superiority of 0-based indexing.
India for example
Yup. And Yandex is one of the only free email services left that doesn't require a phone number to register yet they stuck me with a lockout on the account weeks later (still haven't bothered to re-activate the account yet).

Not to mention that I created both a custom question and answer with randomly generated strings that couldn't possibly have been known by anyone else, which they confirmed as correct during the lockout and still are demanding a phone number to 'verify'. I mean, really now, how on earth would giving any random phone number further verify I'm the account holder when I already know the correct randomly generated password, secret question and secret answer.

Gmail has similarly locked out various accounts with this despite no actual suspicious activity and having a completely unique password. It's a transparent effort by all these companies to gather more user details.
Remitano Review: A P2P Crypto Exchange Marketplace
You should use Pycharm. Ive used sublime and vs code as Well but i keep comming back to pycharm.

It seems recently microsoft has been on the offensive when it comes to promoting vs code for python, but honestly everyone I talk to who’s tried both PyCharm and vscode prefer the latter. My guess is PyCharm just isn’t throwing the same amount of money at bloggers and “influencers”.
This very much matches the work I've been doing recently, which aims to remove the architecture-specificity of compiled executables from operating systems by running webassembly only.

I see wasm as a step towards this inevitability.
Microsoft's pledge not to sue [1] covers only compliant implementations of specific versions of some of the components. Since Android, for example, could be considered non-compliant (with the Java specification), they wouldn't necessarily have been covered if they had based it in the same way on .NET instead. Even if they were, there would likely still have been issues with the parts that aren't listed as covered by the pledge.

On top of that, while the promise mentions "Microsoft-owned or Microsoft-controlled patents" it is very specific about who is promising not to sue - Microsoft only, not its partners, subsidiaries or other affiliated entities. So they still have plenty of room to arrange for opponents to be sued.

I love going to libraries in the burbs but can't wait to GTFO out the ones in the city when I am there. I highly doubt that these libraries in the city are helping the needy in any big way( I would like to be wrong on this one).

Everything you’ve said agrees with my experiences. Though I’m not sure I would attribute this phenomenon to consumerism.

After speaking with my older relatives and being a part of more closely knit communities while moving around as a child, I would say the fall of churches is the single biggest cause here.

It used to be that every week you’d see your neighbors for 3-4hrs supplied with discussion material, the culture/doctrine encouraged using your gifts to help your neighbors out, and other purely social events would be organized through the church. That combined with belonging to the same “tribe” as everyone is a recipe for a strong social community.

In my current experiences, churchs are some huge corporatized production with some hype man spewing what the people want to hear then everyone goes home. These churches focus on growing numbers and building their campus without think of the community’s needs. It’s hard to build a strong social community with a sea of people.

The smaller churches are filled with aging congregations sadly watching their culture die with them as younger generations fail to build any sense of community.

I hope that we can find a way to replicate the good parts of our church going history. America could definitely use some stronger communities.

I might check out vs code again but pycharm is amazing, even though it can be a bit sluggish at times. It has every integration I need. Plus the refactoring features are slick.
Agreed, the UX of paper is still so much better than kindle. Nicer to read, no lag, easier to organize and share, nicer taking notes in margins. I bought a kindle and went back to paper.
...and still have mostly ads.
One of the keys to low-power push system is the ability to manage the radio. It is obviously much easier, if you have a single connection that you manage, know when it is possible to drop it, or when to send the heartbeat.

Once multiple processes start doing it, without cooperating together, your battery is going to be shot.

Apps also should never send anything private over push notification. It should be only a ping to the app, to check it's event source.
Is it the best option we can provide to them with that money though.

Why can't we just admit that they are homeless shelters and turn them into fulltime homeless shelter instead of pretending to be a library( for whatever sentimental reasons). Seems like we got the worst of both worlds in this case.
Perhaps I should join this cadre as well. The all knowing algorithm has chosen me for the same purpose.

I’m no economist, but I think the point is that they’re collecting debt at a high rate too. If they continue to grow faster than that debt, all is well. Once their growth starts to revert to the G20 mean, they’ll need to change their strategies dramatically.

But I’m not an economist.
At this point your whole argument is just ad hominem. You're not addressing any of my points, and you're just making unsubstantiated personal attacks on my competence. I don't see any point in having further interaction.

Microbial theories of Alzheimer's don't change the amyloid cascade hypothesis picture - that the disease begins with high levels of amyloid aggregates, then proceeds to high levels of tau aggregates enabled by the amyloid, and it is the tau that causes the real harm. That persistent infections raise amyloid production - because that amyloid is a feature of the innate immune system - is a way to try to answer the question of why only some people have raised levels of amyloid. If you can point to chronic infections that are present in 10% or 20% or 30% of the population (but not much more than that), such as some herpesviruses, this sounds plausible.

The other problem is that there are people with high levels of of amyloid who don't get Alzheimer's, so you need other factors as well. That may be obesity / metabolic dysfunction, hence the view of Alzheimer's informed by metabolic syndrome, diabetes, insulin.

The further challenge is that chronic inflammation in immune aging is clearly an important factor, as is vascular aging. A third of Alzheimer's patients also have some degree of vascular dementia, and the decline in blood flow and capillary networks are clearly significant in neurodegeneration considered as a whole.

Another point to consider is that a competing hypothesis for the microbial increase in amyloid levels is the progressive age-related failure of cerebrospinal fluid drainage to remove buildup of aggregates as it does in youth. This has just as compelling a set of supporting evidence at the present time.

Alzheimer's is a condition with many significant contributing causes. The amyloid cascade (with the various reasons as to why there might be more amyloid), immune aging, vascular aging. All the causes may be real, and about as important as one another. It is a condition that results from many discrete items, most of which may have to be addressed to produce significant gains in the patient population.
There is no Zhu Rongji in current generation of party leaders.

From my personal observations, the leeching of public debt through borderline fraudulent projects barely ceased under Xi. This is an elephant in the room. Only the moment they will lift a knife on it, will we be assured that they began an actual move on that front.

Do you know why Xi raised his hand on his closest supporters in the reactionary camp he leads - Bo and Co?

He did so because he was too afraid that Bo as a much more charismatic person will take over the lead of reactionaries from him.

Now, he needs to pay his supporters in the party lavishly in form of state sanctioned corruption - all kinds of unsupervised small local projects where money vanish using long lending chains, or simply stratospheric remunerations for offsprings of party officials employed somewhere in the chain.
