Not really, though. Especially for the basics. In fact, multilingualism is still the general standard in the world, especially in places like Asia and Africa. And even Europe, where most learn English. Yes, it's difficult, but it can be easier if we stressed it from a younger age, or if people had need for it. Instead, they use language to distance themselves from people, not bring each other together.
what is interesting about this is that maybe this is an opportunity for flutter and dart to take off a bit more, it compiles to ARM.

I mean this in the most humanist way possible. God bless gamers. They funded a fabulous amount of research. A modern card compared to a voodoo2 is, well, incomprehensible.

Thank you for the future. You paid for it. I get the reward.
That's how it works, but I'll point out that just because you can leave out type declarations in a Hindley-Milner language doesn't mean you should.

Compilers are good at deducing types from a function's implementation, but humans will find them easier to understand if they know what the function's inputs and outputs are supposed to be before attempting to figure out how the implementation does it. Error messages will be better, too.
Sorry that wasn't clear. I meant cellular roaming between towers, and WiFi roaming between access points -- not roaming between the two technologies.

It's currently possible to maintain a single connection (including IP address, open sockets, ip tables, etc.) while roaming between cell towers and WiFi APs. That's not true when switching carriers/providers/technologies, although I agree that would be a great next step for cell phones.
Just curious, why was Steve Bannon set to be the keynote speaker at a computer science conference? Seems fishy?
He absolutely didn't end up in Russia of his own choosing. He planned to stay in Hong Kong, and he leaked a list of hacked Chinese targets in an attempt to gain the PRC's favor, but they kicked him out as soon as he had nothing more of interest, just as you would expect.

I'd be interested to know how to estimate things that are very rare or don't have a normal distribution.

For instance, let's say I have a bold plan to protect us from meteor strikes that will cost $100B. How would a person make a decision about whether that's a good trade-off or not? And how would a mathematician help them make that decision?

How would it change for more complex cases, like a shield to prevent nuclear ICBM warfare which has never happened, but we all are worried about?

If you pay more, people bid up prices on things they buy like housing and food. There is no silver bullet that solves all things. The reality is it is a combination of policies that promote equality and opportunity, or they promote concentration of wealth and power in a few individuals, corporations and political bodies.
I hope and pray that some smart lawyers come to his defense in both in England, Ecuador, and the USA. I hope that "we" are collectively smart enough to support him (and Snowden). He is probably not a Russian agent... all of that talk is a distraction (especially with Mueller).. if Russia left him out to dry then they would seriously curtail their intelligence operations... after all memes and fake news are far more effective.

If he is a Russian agent, the Prisoners Dilemma applies: Will Trump pardon or will Russia declare? Russia has more to lose here. Maybe there is a way out for Russia and the US but I doubt it. This is actually an interesting case.. a 3 party prisoners dilemma.. any ideas?

One of my biggest regrets is not supporting Aaron.. at the time it would not have been much but maybe collectively and everyone together. Maybe we were too late to recognize that he was ahead of his time... and maybe we still are.

My shop does the same thing. They charge a diagnostic fee that's equivalent of 1 hour's labor and give me an estimate to fix the issue. The diagnostic fee counts toward the repair. Sometimes they find other things when doing the work, but I can relate: who hasn't gotten into fixing a bug and found out it's more complicated than they thought at first?

I can think of three groups of people.

The first are people who can't take any time off from work. 200 miles away means less time working or less time managing family. I can think of a few circumstances where people lost their job as a result of such an injury, so for them the priority is feeding their family and then dealing with the bills later. Because you can put off medical bills, you can't put off food on the table.

The second are people that are going to go bankrupt anyways. Why does it matter to them how much they're going to pay when they're losing literally everything anyways? Might as well go for the closer option since again, work and all.

And finally the third are people that literally don't have the option to drive 200 miles. When my mother had her stroke she didn't have the option to go anywhere but the closest possible hospital, and post-stroke recovery had to be done locally.

If you can't think of the dire circumstances people are in, then you've never been poor or have had to deal with seriously ill people. Think harder.
Literally every other developed nation has figured this out.

Here's one way to solve this: single payer. The payer (government) sets the price and the doctors either accept it or stop treating patients. Maybe they'll bill 15% less a year, but they'll also never have to deal with this debt collecting bullshit, so they don't need as many staff.
AIPAC will never let that stand. Human rights are okay, as long as those countries are either neutral or allied with Israel.

Shareware certainly did work for some, pre-WWW.

Distribution was not a solved problem back then, and required significant capital. Shareware use a viral engine of growth (though this did mean that there were far more products for which shareware didn't work versus the handle for which it did).
I didn't understand the quote: "with 14 chromosomes einkorn has less gluten". Gluten is an expressed protein, I don't see how the number of chromosomes an organism has correlates with its gluten content, unless gluten proteins are directly involved in some sort of DNA-related process. But even then I thought the number of chromosomes doesn't necessarily correlate with the amount of generic material (that is, it's just how it is divided up). Can someone explain this to me?

You can just buy the damned APAP. The gear I use can be had off Amazon for about $700. A Respironics Dreamstation, and a Resmed Swift FX nasal pillow with headgear and quick connect hose. Probably cheaper if insurance covers it, but you don't actually need it.

If you think you can breathe through your nose with your mouth closed, the nasal pillows are nicer. If not, get a mask. They're nice to have anyways, if colds clog your nose.
>Basically, a "non-DSP, non-mainframe" version of C

I feel like if you start going down that road, towards “commonly portable”, you naturally end up with one of the not-c variants (zig, nim, etc). ...and ifc, if you start writing a new language, you might as well toss in features from the last thirty years of language design.

C is C largely because its so stupidly (and impressively) portable; if you aren’t drawing that benefit, its likely a case of the wrong tool for the job.
I worked at Google and I failed onsite interview at FB once. I guess I’m too bad as I have plenty of experience and didn’t get an offer. Could be I came across as an arrogant asshole, as I was itritated by questions I was asked and folks I met (was told that one group will do an interview, but was talking to engineers with 5 years in the industry and the only company they worked was FB)
When I interview, I never ask questions from the book, no coding on the whiteboard. Those questions answer only 1 questions - how much free time you have to prepare for them.

So much of what concerns me about the modern tech titans is the amount of data they collect and process. So if you were to be at the helm of an up and coming unicorn, the way to differentiate yourself is:

1. Provide your service with the option of collecting nearly zero or precisely zero data about customers if they so choose. In order to do this, it may be necessary to provide your services as open source software they can operate themselves on hosts they own or lease.

2. Adopt a comprehensive privacy-respecting mission statement analogous to the portions of the Mozilla manifesto [1] pertaining to privacy.

3. Provide full transparency about when, how, and in what measure data is collected about users who have not opted out via #1 above.

4. Ensure that your revenue streams are firewalled from user data. Never allow user data to be considered a potential source of revenue.

5. To the extent feasible under the law, provide transparency about revenue and finances. Provide evidence that the business is healthy thanks to voluntary exchange of money from principal users for products or services, and not exchanges that are involuntary for users.

This is just character assassination. Where are the metrics that say new grads don't want to work for Facebook? Cherry picking quotes is journalism as its worst, and the fact that this crap keeps popping up in HN disturbing. What's worse is that they're preying on young adults.

Seeing this article reminds me that there's a good litmus test in C (at least older versions) in determining whether a feature is undefined behavior or merely unspecified or implementation-defined behavior. Undefined behavior means that there is some processor that will throw an exception if you do it; if there isn't such, then the behavior is implementation-defined. So signed overflow is undefined because some processors have trap-on-signed-overflow, and unsigned overflow is not because that feature is not present. The part about undefined signed overflow being useful for optimizations only came decades later.

That said, I'm at a loss to explain why i = i++; is undefined and not merely unspecified.
If I recall -- I was reading the board + CPU was around $450, and you can pick up a x200 for ~$100 and do the mod your self.

The price goes up on the x200/x220s the nicer they look, and if they work, but you are looking at a max price of $250 if you don't wait for the good deals.
What you write about I/O is interesting to me, because I am generally of the belief that any decent library in C should have a way to replace I/O with an alternate mechanism via a couple of function pointers.

Even if you stick to recent platforms, depending totally on FILE* can be a mistake. For example Windows has all its idiosyncrasies with sharing modes and whatnot, not all of them captured by fopen. Or you may wish to implement streaming or some alternate data source not on the filesystem. The author of a library can't predict these things, so should allow the caller to bring their own.

According to my experience, the average Amazon/Microsoft engineer would jump in a heartbeat to Google/Facebook, given the opportunity and assuming the logistics are feasible. The opposite is much less common. If you download the Blind app and start reading threads, you’ll quickly realize this trend yourself, and it matches what I’ve heard from acquaintances. Based on these observations, yes, I conclude those engineers have less prestige until they stay with those employers (relative obviously, they are still at a top tech company, so probably in the very top percentiles of the market).

Once again, this is on average, it depends on the specific team. There are insanely talented people at both MS and Amazon!

As far as you not getting accepted, not passing an interview there doesn’t mean you are not talented, but passing the interview very likely means you are talented, and for them this high false negative rate is good enough at this time.

I’ve been lucky enough to get offers at Google, Netflix and Facebook and the interviews were definitely hard, I can’t imagine a weak candidate passing those interviews by mistake, but I can very well imagine a smart candidate not passing them. Preparation is key: I played the game for a few months and prepared according to their interview style. It’s tedious and time consuming work.

> that's available to end-users in any meaningful way. Everything else so far is vaporware

You can't just call all research "vaporware" because it happens to not exist today at this moment...

> ridiculously high error rates.
You know that D-Wave's qubits have very high error rates, right? They have always espoused the "more qubits, more error" strategy.

> but it's clear the basic seed is there for something that works; they just need a bigger graph and more connections between qubits.

D-Wave has been trying for quite some time to increase the connectivity of the Chimera graphs with "pegasus" and so forth, it's a Hard Problem.

> There's no reason to assume they won't have their own equivalent of Moore's Law at some point where these things grow year over year.

Yes there is, adding more qubits is not a simple task like adding more transistors. Plus, more qubits doesn't necessarily help you unless you have the necessary connectivity as well, which is even superficially speaking at least quadratically difficult.

> Do they have _any_ results worth caring about yet?
You... you do realize that nothing D-Wave has shown so far is even faster than a laptop, right?

And btw, I don't mean to be hating on D-Wave either, I think they get a lot of unnecessary hate.
The title makes no sense if you interpret it that way, also, it seems to be a very niche term (most of the top google results are not computer related at all). I think 99% of people who saw the headline understood it the correct way.

> This procedure costs $x because it is the oecd average cost and that is the end of the discussion. It is on them to fight over their slices of the pie with each other.

When their costs are lower than the OECD average then you're still paying too much, but it's even worse when they're higher. Each country has different regulations, taxes and subsidies, real estate costs, medical licensing rules and supply of medical professionals, average income and cost of living which affects how much workers have to be paid etc.

When the OECD average price for a procedure is $5000 but the zero-profit cost of doing it in your country is $7000, nobody will do it. Or the provider who already owns the equipment as a sunk cost will do it, but the waiting list for the procedure will be 22 months. (Hopefully it's not related to an active pregnancy.)

> Its not realistic to act like people have time to price compare for emergency medical services.

It's not realistic to act like all medical services are emergencies. Most of them aren't, what's the excuse then?

And once you have a baseline for what a procedure costs in a competitive market on a non-emergent basis in your location, it becomes a lot easier to identify a 10,000% markup for no reason in an emergency situation as manifestly unreasonable.
