"We" do sometimes put declarative languages at the client level, whether SQL or something else like Prolog, Datalog, MDX... It's a long tradition. As for why "we" don't do it more often, many times you don't need to, or I think a lot of the barrier is a combination of lack of tooling plus lack of expressiveness in the client programming language. The alternative of "hand coding" actually has a lot of automated tooling already, too, so there's not much handwork involved at all if you don't want there to be. Feed the tool nothing but your schema, out pops a de-sql'd MVC-esque set of program files in whatever languages you care for. For some things it's nicest to work with these autogen'd artifacts over anything else as easily available.

A somewhat related question that's fun to think about is why we don't put databases directly in our clients very often (especially SPAs). The ClojureScript community has been doing some good work exploring what it's like to put your client state in a client DB type of structure. There was also a compilation of SQLite to JavaScript done, I wonder how much usage that has?

It's pretty easy to generate a valid XHTML doc. The issues come when someone is editing by hand and doesn't care.

I don't understand what you mean. Isn't the non-strict parser for XHTML just the normal HTML parser? The complication levels should be equal.

> On the third day I was there, this guy who had picked me up in the Jeep, a corporal who I was ultimately going to replace, he and I were in the battalion intelligence section, we were sent down to the tractor park, the amphibious tractor park to meet a bunch of detainees. It was our responsibility to take care prisoners, and detainees were a classification of civilians, they were not combatants; they could be detained for questioning, which is why they were called detainees.

> And Jimmy and I went down to the tractor park and two tractors came in, they had a whole bunch of Vietnamese up on top high flat-topped vehicles about eight or nine feet tall, and as the tractors wheeled into the park the Marines up on top immediately began hurling these people off, and they were bound hand and foot, so they had no way of breaking their falls, and they were old men, women, children, no young men, and I couldn't believe these guys were treating these people this way, and I turned to Jimmy and said, I grabbed him by the arm and said "What are those guys doing? We're supposed to be helping these people." And Jimmy turned to me and he looked at my hands on his arm, I sort of took them off, and he said "Ehrhart, you better keep the mouth shut until you know what's going on around here." I think it was at that point that I realized things were not quite what I was expecting.

> [..]

> None of that distilled itself into the clear kind of expression that I'm presenting now. What I began to understand within days and which became patently clear within months was that what was going on here was not what I had been told, what was going on here was nuts, and I wanted to get out. I knew if I was still alive on March the 5th 1968 they'd stick me on an airplane in Danang we used to call it the freedom bird and I could fly away and forget the whole thing. Turned out not to be quite so easy to forget it, but that was the notion, and certainly my last eight to nine months I ceased to think, I quite literally ceased to think about why I was there, or what I was doing. The sole purpose for my being in Vietnam at that point was to stay alive until I could get out.

> And the reason for that is, you know, the kinds of questions that began to present themselves were just.. the questions themselves were ugly and I didn't want to know the answers. It's like banging on a door, you knock on a door, and the door opens slightly and behind that door it's dark and there's loud noises coming like there's wild animals in there or something. And you peer into the darknees and you can't see what's there but you can all this ugly stuff.. do you want to step into that room? No way, you just sorta back out quietly, pull the door shut behind you, and walk away from it. And that's what was going on, those questions, the questions themselves were too ugly to even ask, let alone try to deal with the answers.

This appears to base the arguement comparing to the worst case scenario, we don't need genocidal numbers of casualities to determine if morality has gone out the window. And that's another thing; numbers. The obsession with numbers, body counts, injuries, all to justify the reason we are there. In vietnam the US was fighting guerrilla warfare, in the middle-east it's called terror.

None of this will be declassified for years, it's technically still not over yet, we'll be waiting a long time to know some of the things we still don't know now.
I agree, notice that I use `make` together with `npm` as an example. Or with `setup.py`. Language build tools are great, but `make` comes in when you need to tie them together.

- I have rechecked and "Location sharing" is off by default, although "Share web & app activity" is on by default and it can include "searches and associated information, such as location and activity from sites, apps and devices .... like Chrome history, for instance..."

- I might accidentally forget to turn off "Backup to Google Cloud" when registering because I had to retry the registration several times and was tired. This would explain why sync was enabled. But I don't remember it clearly.

The developer evaluation process is broken, sometimes because the people hiring you do not even understand what you do and sometimes it is because what the interviewer is testing for is not properly communicated to the candidate for various reasons. The best way to get a job is to be in a developer community where you get referred to jobs and not by job searching online. This is how top-tier candidates get jobs in every industry, referrals, it cuts all the bullshit. So your goal should be to get to that level which means upping your social skills, that being said we all need to start from somewhere.

I wrote a post about this a couple weeks ago, on the disconnection between what an employer is looking for and what you (a developer) think they want. I hope it helps someone

I had Google Play, but I didn't have Google Account set up on the phone. And it is not like I have much choice - iPhones are overpriced (I don't think is is a good idea to spend over $600-900 for just a phone) and even less open and I trust Apple as much as Google.
This is the classic paradox of employing developers, though. Of course those developers want to establish a good professional reputation, because it makes it easier for them to find new gigs later on. However, encouraging "resume driven development" practices and high staff turnover is hardly in the interests of the employers. Obviously it's good to have an engaging work environment that is interesting for your team where you can, but ultimately it's a business and you're all there to get a job done, not to pad your resume so you can hop to the next one in a few months for a 10% pay bump. In a few strange bubbles like SV, where the crazy money available is barely correlated with the value or efficiency of the businesses spending it, maybe you can overlook this for a while, but I'm not sure it's a healthy, sustainable culture in the industry.

If anything, that doesn't make these examples moot, but the red herring of how military leaders supposedly think long and hard about stuff.

> ... aerodynamics only come into play at the outside edges of the peloton. Instead, the researchers found that peloton dynamics are likely driven by rider vision, with each rider keeping other riders within a range of peripheral vision that is most sensitive to motion. Additionally, wave propagation speeds were consistent with human reaction time ...

So this is a swarming, shoaling, flocking behaviour in the core of a peloton where (as you'll know) the wind resistance is light enough to freewheel and eat snacks. We're starlings!

You can already get credit in open source projects without doing anything. Be on the mailing lists, present at conferences, claim ideas that weren't yours, treat actual code as a "solved problem".
Honestly, once we have a suitable HMD (aka. VR goggles), we can use a cluster of raytracers to experiment with actual photorealistic reality.
My previous best guess would have been a clustered version of Luxrender, but most recent projections of mine yielded ~20MW of current-gen CPU cluster (with a hint of GPU (about 3:1 electrical CPU:GPU) to offload ray intersection for a 2~3x speed boost) as what would be needed to feed a display that can reach the far end of uncanny valley as far as the visuals themselves go.
This would be _expensive_ and quite likely considered a useless waste of computing, but I seriously think we should try to get to the point where we can do this. And it truly requires ray tracing to handle the vast amount of detail the scene would require. Also testing scales much better down to a workstation for photorealism than for textured and shaded polygon technology.
The main reason is just that most of ray tracing is parallel, save for sequential tracing of each individual ray. The result is that much more of the behavior is scale-free which enables you to test materials much quicker/more interactively than with shaded polygons. The other part of that is how a material's behavior doesn't depend on other/nearby objects as much, so you can mock those better and have few surprises as far as their interaction is concerned.
Luxrender specifically was used years ago for such things as rendering imaged for a iirc. perfume bottle catalogue, as it was easier to specify the material properties and adapt for the colors/opacities and label prints than to get regular, symmetrical photos from a photographer in a studio. The requirement was that the realism allowed skipping a disclaimer about the images not being photographs. And that implies confidence in the mathematical models used in the "simulation".

RTX cards might allow porting Luxrender in a way that retains it's spectral treatment that actually physically simulated a dispersive prism generating a rainbow from a ray of white light, without more than specifying the dispersion of the glass.
It goes without saying that such effects are inherently very noisy, but there might be ways using automatic differentiation (c.f. Julia (language)) combined with advanced numerical integration to make use of calculus to reduce the noise in individual samples.

If anyone knows about attempts to combine Metropolis light transport (MLT) with automatic differentiation or just about a more concrete idea to incorporate advanced numerical integration with MLT, or a potentially suitable MLT implementation in Julia, please let me know, i'd like to check it out and actually consider it a suitable "toy" project for learning Julia. The ease of efficient GPU use from this high level just allows so much flexibility in e.g. complex material node graphs getting handled with no extra work on the integrator then.

Hello, Southern Italian here. I've never heard any bashing against North African olives or oil. Common sense says that olive is a Mediterranean tree and no particular Mediterranean region is better than all the others.

Your opening comment is an interesting viewpoint, and, in particular, you have made an interesting choice of adjective, as it is one that ascribes intent. If I am understanding the Wayback Machine correctly, this page has been essentially like this at least since February 2002, yet it would seem that its author was acting in a hostile manner by not anticipating the limitations of modern reader apps - or perhaps the site administrator is at fault, for leaving it out there as a trap for an unsuspecting modern app user?

looking past this, I see that the passage you quote is indeed insightful.

> MPEG is a rent-seeking organization that doesn't actually contribute anything useful to society. It just tries to lock up technology and standards behind patents, and then extorts money for use of those standards.

You're thinking about MPEG-LA, and even then your description is debatable.

MPEG itself is a standardisation organisms (technically a joint subgroup of ISO and IEC), defining standards out of technologies both patented and not.

MPEG-LA is a separate and completely unaffiliated entity which licenses patent pools: MPEG-LA does not create or hold patents itself, they get agreements from patent holders and sell "bundled" licenses for all patents essential to implement a relevant technology (or so they claim e.g. MPEG-LA created a patent pool for DisplayPort independently from VESA, which disputes this necessity and asserts the standard is completely royalty-free).
I recently talked with a peer about it and I was quite surprised. Googles move to log into chrome by default was just the tip of the iceberg what was already there. I never really noticed that google already is trying hard to merge/force all apps to run via a android login. While times have been fun and painless migrating to a new phone it is not what I asked for. It is even more worrying that google cripples their apps with this. I wonder if google one day turns unproductive when they have to untangle all that mess.
I haven't watched a great deal of BBT, i'm not a fan, just what I've caught watching with other people.

I've never seen an episode where they were depicted in actually doing work, just in talking about their social group and the character interaction. They could have all been sitting in a coffee shop or bar for all of the links to their job it had. Whereas SV does have content about their life outside of work, a lot of the comedy comes from their "jobs".

I also really don't think the BBT people are depicted as genius'. One episode I do remember is when one of them was struggling with a physics problem with electron behaviour. He finally solved the problem that had been plaguing him (a 'super smart' physics researcher, because he started thinking of the electrons as waves, and not as particles. Which any 16(17)-year-old physics student would have realized in about a minute.

Then I would put forth that you don't have much experience with military leadership. In practice, morality, as well as cause and effect, are a constant discussion among military leadership. To add to this: It's the lower echelons of leadership that are more about numbers and efficiency and even lower is where it's about "getting it done".

The disconnect, I believe, is what one considers duty another may consider blind faith. There is a vast amount of room for ambiguity here.

What you’re describing sounds like Abstract Interpretation[1], a technique used in static analyzers and compilers (e.g. for bounds-check elimination). You can pick any abstract domain you want, but the more complex the domain — i.e., the more complex/precise your tracking of the possible values associated with each variable — the longer it takes for the analysis to run.

The problem is that with the glut of document declaring strict conformance but failing to be, fallback mechanisms had to be implemented, making it like a two pass parser, where if strict fails, you reparse in non strict. In the end slightly more complex, and definitely slower.
