If you're working directly with the DOM or other JavaScript APIs it's still going to be a garbage-collected, object-oriented data model.

The JavaScript object model is likely to remain fundamental for cross-language within-browser interop, just like C api's are fundamental for foreign function calls in other environments. (Or Java API's in a JVM.)

$60k is FUD.

It's $50k. Inflating the price by 20% does not add credibility to your argument.

I, too, was hoping for a $35k Model 3, but when it came time to pull the trigger, I realized I'd want the $5000 Premium package regardless, so it wasn't hard to talk myself into the extra $9k for the bigger battery when considering the guaranteed tax incentives vs the unknown ETA of the mythical "short range" car.

Thank you so much for this. It really touched me deeply.
4k@60 is GPU bottlenecked, not CPU bottlenecked. It's pushing for 144fps where you'll start to be cpu bottlenecked in eg. Battlefield multiplayer or Assassins Creed. (also having a 4core/8thread cpu helps quite a bit vs 4core/4thread now that games have started pushing CPU limits again, especially with the 1% and 0.1% lows that cause stutter).
Ok, I'll pick your brain a bit more.

I presume when we're talking about such ultra low latency systems the software stack is uniquely manual memory management languages, or maybe I should say non-gc, with Rust gaining traction. At the same time the LMAX exchange runs on JVM, as far as I know. Reading some opinions you feel like for low-latency a GC language is a no-go. Maybe you care to comment on that.

Generally, I feel like when discussing these systems the wow factor of "speed of light is a factor" dwarfs the more mundane aspects. Maybe it would be enlightening to consider slower 1ms max pause systems. With such requirements you don't care about being within earshot of the exchange anymore, and you'll probably not use FPGAs, but you still need latency that is deterministic and low. When a software engineer has to develop such a system, what are the challenges, considerations, etc?

I'm not sure how C++ for DL is different from regular C++ so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Pyret may very well be a great programming language. But it likely does not belong in a programming pedagogy at a higher ed institution. Why? Because time is limited. We already teach Intro to Programming in Python, which to us is a "throwaway" because they then go on to learn .NET (ie C#), Java, or "Web". I wish would could go deeper with just one language, but it is what the advisory committee has approved.

As we now know, this is because Intel cheats. That's why Intel's smt is vulnerable to whatever that recent spectre/meltdown variant was called and AMDs is not.
As a Xoogler I agree completely. The whole social debacle distracted the company from a more important goal (cloud) and now google has to play catch up to AWS and Azure.

This was a case where a very large number of Googlers tried to advise leadership on some of its more boneheaded decisions and had to work overtime to deal with the problems and fallout.
Like most business talk on HN, this is about YC-style startups that are expected to lose a lot of money up front in exchange for a ticket in a lottery where the winner is the next Facebook.
It isn’t based on that concept, but certainly there are similarities with StateCharts and probably some other projects as well.
One day these companies are going to learn that not disclosing creates more problems than it solves. Disclose then and they would control the narrative, ideally getting largely lost in what Facebook was doing (a much larger breach) and nothing really came from that anyway. Hide it, get scooped by the WSJ and it costs you an entire product and 100% of the media coverage about it is now about the cover-up instead of how you're addressing it.

"If you're ever in doubt about reaching out and letting someone in need know that you're thinking about them, just do it. It is helpful."

This is really important and touching for all types of situations. I have been fortunate to be the recipient of messages like that, as well as the deliverer. The warmth I felt in both occasions was overwhelming. It seems so small, but those moments can really help people in massive ways --ways that can be hard to verbalize.

Example: I had a friend tell me years afterwards about their emotional struggles and how my note helped them through a difficult and dark time in their life.
Similarly, I had some very difficult days where it was hard to cope with my grief (not a loss of life in my situation). A friend had sent me a card telling me how much I meant to so many people. On my hard days I would read the card over and over. Something small, helped me in a massive way.
>> They did this with Google Reader 5 years ago. I don't think you can trust the longevity of Google services beyond GMail and Google Search.

> Well, hardly anyone was using it. How long should a company maintain something for free that not many people are using?

You misunderstand. He's not necessarily saying Google should maintain Google Reader or Google+ forever; he's saying that users can't trust Google to keep all but its most popular services online. If you like some new/niche Google service so much that you'll be unhappy when it's shut down, you should seriously consider not using it in the first place.

I'm not sad to see Google+ go, but the aggressive rate of metrics-driven product shutdowns by modern SaaS companies is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Users learn not get used to new services and hold of using them heavily, because they'll probably get shut down; that dampens adoption so services inevitably get shut down.

IMHO, SaaS companies need to embrace niche products, otherwise they're eventually going to kill off a lot of consumer appetite for innovation.

Do you think Google acted in a fair or unfair matter?
One important niche where Intel is ripe to lose their lead is deep learning workstations. The issue at hand: they don't put high enough PCIe lane counts on all but the highest end desktop processors. It's unclear if these processors will address that (I can't find lane counts on a quick google search).

Let's say you want to run 4 GPUs off your CPU for a powerful workstation or small server (e.g. for a research group). There's debate over whether you need to run cards in x8 or x16 mode for most deep learning applications, so let's say 8x as a conservative choice. That means you need 32 lanes (or 16 for just two cards). But your drive and other peripherals might take some lanes too. So 40 looks like a safer number. Easy enough to find that on a motherboard...

Most of the mid-high range Intel desktop CPUs only have 16 lanes total. Base model Threadripper (1900x) which is price-competitive with those has 64. You can go to Xeon but that (AFAIK) can be problematic in several ways for midrange or mixed use workstations (no integrated graphics, less mobo selection for the needed features).

I think this is pretty important. If enough researchers go to Ryzen then math libraries will get written there and the lead that libs like MKL provide could be nullified[0]. This will filter into the server market, where CPU is used even in deep learning production deployments (e.g. for inference servers). And having lower end processors is important because there are lots of independent researchers doing important work in the field who don't have huge budgets, as well as academics who can't get budget and might be spending out of pocket on their workstation.

[0] I'll admit I don't know enough about the math hardware in Ryzen vs Intel to say if this is possible.

Something like react or vuejs in Python, with similar performance and equally or more productive.

There is something like this for Rust, I think.

But Python for the Browser is not compelling unless we both have a faithful implementation of the language and data model and a productive and beautiful frontend framework. Call it a React for Python or a Django for the frontend.

Similar goals apply for other languages which have an edge on Javascript in some regard.

True, but until Web development catches up with the state of Flash and other native RAD GUI designers, it is a very attractive proposition.

One thing I hate when doing web development is playing around with CSS and tag soup while trying to make it work the same way across all target platforms required by the customer, that in native code would be a couple of graphical calls to the visualization engine and platform widgets, which also provide layout managers.

Stuff like Web Components and Houdini would make it better, but who knows when they will be widely available.

My understanding is that Ehrlich's prediction had little or nothing to do with climate change. He was making his statements based primarily on population growth.

I can't find any evidence, outside of highly-biased sites, that this was anything more than an isolated case of one ecologist postulating on the possible forms of climate change.

You're missing (or ignoring) a lot of historical context in your analysis. Google spent many years trying to compete with Facebook assuming that open standards were the thing that would win. ActivityStreams and PubSubHubHub are just two examples of federated standards that they built to compete, and that failed.

Google+ came out, if you'll remember, at the time that Page became CEO again and pivoted the company's direction away from standards and more towards product. In the case of social that clearly failed. In the case of Android it did not.
I don't think it came up in our review of Excel/Python technologies -- perhaps because that's not the primary focus of the library.
Broadly speaking, white males are second only to black males in terms of being targets of violence in the United States. That's all violence, not just the police inflicted kind.
One thing that stood out to me in this blog post was the comments about the doors. They say:

> "Model 3 also has the lowest intrusion from side pole impact of any vehicle tested by NHTSA. Unlike frontal crashes, there is little room for crumple zone in a side impact, so we patented our own pillar structures and side sills to absorb as much energy as possible in a very short distance. These structures work alongside the vehicle’s rigid body and fortified battery architecture to further reduce and prevent compartment intrusion. With less intrusion into the cabin, our side airbags have more space to inflate and cushion the occupants inside."

It's something I didn't really appreciate until weeks after we brought our 3 home, but the sides of the car have an incredibly strange shape. Both front and rear doors, and even the rear fender and side sills, have absolutely massive character lines and sculpting. I have no idea if they're outright thicker than other carmakers' doors, or if they're there for aerodynamics, or if they aid safety, but they're really like nothing else. Take a close look next time you see one; I think the S is much the same way, but like most people, I don't usually stop to closely examine styling elements unless I have a particular reason to do so.

Did you follow the actual science? First neanderthal genome, 2010: about 6% admixture. Denisova, 2011: 2.5% admixture. Altai neanderthal, 2014: 1.5% admixture.

Every time the quality of the genome improved, the estimated admixture decreased. Isn't that a bit suspicious? And even if it isn't purely an artifact, the direction of the admixture was never established. Could be some neanderthal genes survived in humans, could be some human genes died with neanderthals. Could be that the analysis is no good.

>The explorer firestone tire issue (overheating fuel pump, rollover, boom!),

That was purely a rollover issue.

They didn't catch fire with any noteworthy regularity. I'm not sure how you can say otherwise. Ford used that same basic fuel system (modified in size and shape for the application) from the early 90s up through the late 2000s in their trucks (Ranger platform included) and full-size vans. There is nothing particularly bad about it. It's actually one of the best OEM fuel systems out there since it uses stainless steel for all the hard line and braided stainless over nylon(?) for all the soft line though based on some of the Rangers I've worked on I think they started making the lines coming off the fuel sender out of non-stainless steel sometime in the 2000s.

>he ZJ grand cherokee fuel tank recall (totally unsafe without a tow hitch installed behind the tank)

Rest assured, we'll have these same issues with EVs when the Chryslers and Kias of the world start making them en-mass.

> Heck, on my dads 66 chevy, if you forget to put on the gas cap and drive off, the gas will literally fall out of the back of the car).

Don't you think it's a little disingenuous to compare a modern Tesla to a 1966 Chevy? The 66 Chevy didn't have seat-belts or airbags either. It's 50yr older, what do you expect. Pickups had the gas tank in the cab through most of the 70s.

>Maybe instead of saying that batteries are more dangerous so they put them in stronger boxes you should instead be demanding to know why gasoline cars do not put their power source in a safer container.

Repeat after me class "liquid fuels do not provide their own ignition source."

EVs are the way of the future but trying to pretend that sitting on top of a box full of nasty chemicals that contain a bunch of electrons that really want to be elsewhere is safer than sitting on a jug of nasty liquid fuel, all else equal is just that, pretending. That's why Tesla makes the battery a structural member. They can't in good faith protect it much less than that so they may as well go a little overboard and reap some benefits in terms of chassis rigidity and then use the resulting safety as one of their pro-EV talking points.
Yeah, but it is different wielding a knife then a gun. You have to be up close and personal with that. Whilst with a gun you can be far away. Apples and Oranges.

And don't look at one individual case, look at the cause why this keeps happening.

The police force is trained that there is a high possibility that there is a gun. So how are they going to go in there? With guns drawn of course.

That is the difference. The knowledge of you might getting shot is enough to be trigger happy about everything. Especially when your training says the same thing.

But then it's not enough changing the training of the police force, whilst civilians still wield guns. Disarmament needs to happen on multiple levels.

And another thing, yes there are cases where it is fairly simple to tell if you are in front of a disabled or mentally ill person then a nutcase high on crystal meth. And these are just cops, without any training in the medical field to tell the difference and they go in already on edge. No wonder bad things happen.
It doesn't matter what people think, the facts it what matter and if you decide to overlook them that is your problem.
That's not what I read into the response at all.

What good_gnu did was point out the logical fallacy commonly used by climate change deniers: "something is false simply because a proof or argument that someone has offered for it is invalid" (a full description http://www.csun.edu/%7Edgw61315/fallacies.html#Argumentum%20...).

The number of warming and cooling studies over time would suggest to me (and this is my interpretation) that climate was a (relatively) new field back in 1970ish, people were still working out what was going on, how to study it, and what the data meant, and over time as these things have become clearer the trend towards warming has become the most arrived at interpretation.

Though I'm sure there have been exaggerated claims in the past, nothing that good_gnu said leads to "what you are saying is that in hindsight it's easier to see which side was making exaggerated claims?" being an accurate summary.

Google+ still had 500,000 users? That’s the only really surprising part to me.
This is great news! Seemed like myspace to me.
Until recently Google+ suffered from being a virtual black hole of information due to a lackluster search interface (oh the irony). In addition it had poor anti-spam and limited moderation controls, leading to almost daily NSFW images in my stream.

Then recently they tried to make it better by redesigning it, and apparently gave some graphic designers free reign. This lead to a significantly worse user experience, so much so that I and many others who were still clinging on stopped using it almost entirely.

That said it had some good ideas, and the signal-to-noise ratio was much better than on Facebook. I'm guessing the active communities I visited will migrate to Facebook or similar, but it won't be quite the same.
