for better or for worse, there is much less of a Reason bubble to be trapped in. The foreign function interface of the bucklescript compiler (Reason/Ocaml->js) makes for a much more gradual boundary between javascript and Reason code than that between js and Elm, a difference that flows naturally out of the different language designs: OCaml is multi-paradigmatic, sporting mutability and an object system, whereas Elm tries to help the user (e.g. via better isolation/prevention of errors) by sticking to one paradigm.

Even within the functional paradigm, OCaml offers all the tools Elm does (leading to re-implementations of elm structures like https://github.com/OvermindDL1/bucklescript-tea ), and more — the module system is the biggest one to come to mind, but library authors have even found client-side uses for esoterica like phantom types (ensuring certain safe usage patterns without runtime costs).

Bubbles can be nice, though! For example, some people are confused by the fact that there is a "beta" standard library in addition to the one that Reason ships with - and that at least one popular (arguably the most popular) book on OCaml — "Real World OCaml" uses a third standard library which is neither of those. One can debate how much of a problem or how widespread of a problem this is in practice, but it stands that this is not a problem at all for Elm.
I'm excited to be the first comment to recommend The Broom of the System. I picked it off the library shelf because I knew of David Foster Wallace, but didn't think I had the stamina to go for Infinite Jest at the time. It's much, much shorter than Infinite Jest, and is a single story rather than a collection of essays (don't get me wrong, Consider the Lobster is also great). The humor is absurd, different than anything I'd read before, and it completely clicked with me, paving the way to the rest of his work. You should start here.

It's just an example of how much weight Google is able to throw around. That's a just one part of what would be needed for a browser. The more parts you add the harder it becomes to build a browser.

Also I have read about QUIC there are some things that are interesting about it. However, there are things that I don't like.

Moreover, this was something I read from IETF mail archive: "That QUIC isn't yet proven. That's true, but the name won't be formalised or used on the wire until the RFC is published, so we have a good amount of time to back away. Even then, if it fails in the market, we can always skip to HTTP/4 one day, if we need to."[1]

I find that pretty concerning. If it does not pan out we can just skip over. That's still something someone has to implement even it's not used much. I would only be considering things that people in general are eager to use not just a few big companies.

Your argument proves too much. Consider the following example:

> You are diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. Your doctor tells you to monitor your blood sugar and take insulin. This situation seems undesirable. While it is possible that the situation would be worse without monitoring your blood sugar and taking insulin, the actual situation is still undesirable. Looking towards the future, it seems unwise to continue a plan that led to undesirable results.

What fascinates me is how easy doctors are on the starting but they don't really explain in advance how subtle the ending. Apparently SSRI safe taper off is 10% decrease per period (year, semester, maybe less). That's a very long time to get off them fully. I wish they told me in advance.

I agree, as I've missed a dose here and there over the years and experienced the intense paresthesia and headaches and nausea from withdrawal.

Background: I've lived my entire adult life (and most of my teens) with severe chronic depression. In my early 20's I started taking pharmaceutical treatment, and once I found the right drug (after trying many over the course of years) my life became manageable. SSRIs helped but I experienced severe nausea on most of them, or worse. It was only when I tried SNRIs like Effexor that things started to get better. YMMV, IANAPsychiatrist, etc, etc.

A few years ago I switched from Effexor to Cymbalta. Same class of drug - The Effexor simply wasn't helping as much as it used to and the switchover was done with a long taper-down and replace period. I even bought a lab-grade scale to measure out the contents of the capsules so I could cross-over smoothly.

All that said, Cymbalta has the same withdrawal effects, on about the same time scale - a single missed dose. But I wouldn't give it up unless something better comes along. I still struggle with my depression and the SNRI is just one tool in my toolbox for managing it.

Google's New Patents Aim to Make Your Home a Data Mine
I skimmed the article and I enjoyed it. Recently, I was looking for a good reference to cite that discussed the link between automatic differentiation and back propagation. From those I know if the field, they knew about the link for a very, very long time, but I had a hard time finding a paper to cite. The best I found was an article titled, "Backwards Differentiation in AD and Neural Nets: Past Links and New Opportunities" by Paul Werbos, which can be found in the book "Automatic Differentiation: Applications, Theory, and Implementations" published in 2006 by Springer. That article is preceded by one written by Louis Rall titled, "Perspectives on Automatic Differentiation: Past, Present, and Future?", which also provides some good history of AD. Anyway, if someone has a better paper to cite linking back propagation and AD, I'd be interested to hear.

I thought the article itself did a good job of explaining it. Backpropagation is just a special case of one way to do AD, apparently. AD prescribes a method of taking derivatives, and if you use it on a neural network, there you go, backpropagation.

The upgrade instructions are firmly in the lolwut category. The database is just not available during the transition. I think they should focus on fixing their protocol such that multiple versions can run at the same time, and rollbacks are possible.
Timex only claims to have sold about 600k units, so while not insignificant, it didn't really move the needle that much.

For the Eastern European markets it really varies greatly by country. Commodore dumped hundreds of thousands of C16/C116 and Plus/4's in the Eastern European markets in '86 onwards for example (largely because they'd totally flopped) - especially in Hungary where many Plus/4's ended up in schools for example, and a substantial proportion of software (quite likely a majority of titles) for those machines came out of Eastern Europe. This was a point where most of the Spectrum clones didn't even exist yet.

The Spectrum clones longevity in Eastern Europe with new models appearing well into the 90's was remarkable, though, and certainly served to bridge a gap when Western computer company had largely ditched their lowest end 8-bit machines.

It is conceivable that a powered chip clocked with a MEMS oscillator that is seriously off-frequency may latch into a state that is unrecoverable so long as power is applied.
I love the linked /r/chrome thread.

Normally it goes "Chromium is open-source, and the telemetry in Chrome isn't actually that bad". (Which it probably isn't, but Chrome Sync is bad.)

And now someone points out another major privacy problem and it all switches over to "Why would you ever use a browser from Google, if you cared about privacy?".

I am wondering, if these are PR people from Google and this is a marketing strategy, to always paint the extremes. Sort of as a last stand to make people feel like they either have to give up all Google software or none, whereas even giving up some Google software would already improve your privacy. (And there is no human being who doesn't care at all about privacy.)
They just appear there. In my bundle view I have logs like the following:

"Used com.shazam.Shazam"

"Used com.teamblind.blind"

It seems they log app usage for apps that have some sort of Google SDK installed or are serving Google AdSense. Definitely not all the installed apps, but several.
Surprisingly even-handed piece:

There's been debate about whether "Silicon Valley" the show should have more diversity than Silicon Valley the place, but Berg argues that a show made for entertainment not meant to be a "social-action wing" or be a force of change - the show is just satirizing the reality that the tech industry itself needs to take care of.
No colony on Mars yet... A colony on Mars relies on Earth. 2c in 100 years isn't the problem. The problem are the low probability events. Animals can run out of the forest during a fire, I don't really see that the humans did significantly better. We didn't stop an entire town from burning down, we didn't have enough of an advance warning, death toll may be well beyond 100, we don't even know how many people perished in the fire.

It is simply foolish to be pushing on this system for no good reason. I don't want to roll a d100 dice where if it comes out 1 we all die. That's a terrible gamble. Sure 90 out of 100 would only be a hotter world with more storms and fires and vast stretches of land disappearing under the oceans.
Actually, this would be a practical application in a prison setting.
It's awesome what you're doing. Keep it up. I wanted to do something like that a long time ago but never had the willpower. Keep in mind that HN comments are always going to be discouraging.

Then double down on the constructive posts that make up the other 20%.

Hmm yeah. And often I type multiple commands separated by semicolons, which it bunches together as one. Also that and long paths meant mine was very unpretty. Speaking of AWK, this uses the same flawed method, looks nicer (for my history), and is shorter:

I used this for text matching in the heuristic spam scanning engine for MX Logic (RIP). It was great to be able to tell the threat team that simple text matches (applied after a normalization process) were now "free" for lengths of 8 bytes or higher.

(It was also news to them that longer text matches are generally faster [a result of Boyer-Moore], I guess that's not intuitive).

>>Speaking on the SAAS space. IMO the bar for entry is getting higher every year. It's getting easier and easier to build apps, and the number of developers keeps growing.

The flip side of the coin is that demand for software is increasing, as software is "eating the world". This is why average salaries for software developers have been increasing: growth demand is outpacing growth in supply.
Seinfeld had a laugh track also, and still managed to be one of the funniest and most original shows on television, breaking major ground for its time. Don't blame Big Bag Theory's gaping inadequacies on the laugh track; the writers, actors, and producers are largely at fault.
Interesting, the article mentions an earlier project called debit that was removed from the web in 2010:

"The most concerted and successful published bitstream reverse-engineering effort came from a tool named debit by Note and Rannaud [10]. Debit provided substantial capabilities for Virtex2, Virtex4, Virtex5, and Spartan3, with anticipated extension to Altera architectures, but seems to have attracted too much unfavorable attention. The host site http://www.ulogic.org/trac was permanently removed from service in summer of 2010."

Yeah, the issue with the idea of the market sorting out public servants is that schools, police departments, fire departments and other public agencies can not simply charge what the market will bear to raise revenue for higher salaries. They don't have control over their revenue stream and that is by design, because their incentives can be quite difficult to manage.

AD reminds me of another idea: in cryptography, you can determine eg. how bit dependencies propagate through a state vector by running the regular code for your compression function or whatever, but on "numbers" that actually track the dependencies of bits. Details vary, but a simple idea is to use as a "number" a vector of symbolic equations for each bit in the number in terms of symbolic variables for input bits to the function. You can then easily calculate items of interest eg. at this many rounds, has every input bits affected every output bit?

So, jets instead of numbers for differentiation, systems of boolean equations instead of numbers for answering some crypto questions... anyone know of other tricks in this vein?
There are very few senior SWEs at Google, relative to tech employees as a whole.

Wow, what a weak argument. If you're using this method why aren't you including carbon emissions from EVs entire manufacturing process to mining of its materials to get the true subsidy cost to society? Economists already know about negative externalities but calculating their cost is incredibly difficult. Comparing a direct subsidy to a negative externality is just laughable.

An arrangement of facts can be copyrighted, but the facts themselves cannot. Collecting together facts and bundling them does not make a copyrighted work, but organizing facts can create a copyrighted work.

The litmus test for this in the US literally the phone book, based on Supreme Court rulings about copyright on phone books. The white pages is an exhaustive list of phone numbers sorted alphabetically by last name, and is not copyrightable because that's considered obvious. The yellow pages sort businesses based on category according to someone's judgement, and emphasizes certain ones, which is considered just barely 'original' enough that it can be copyrighted. The same phone numbers in the same categories would violate copyright of the yellow pages; the same phone numbers with a different organizing principle would not violate copyright.
Yeah, but that doc assumes you've read and understood everything else in the docs. That document provides no help in understanding the database, it's concepts, or how to implement them.

If Reaganomics came from a trained professional who were basing their recommendations on the best theory science had developed through experimentation, I would not advocate changing the policy. That is not the case though, as we both agree that reliable evidence is scant.

Going forward, there isn't a great theory showing that Reaganomics is worth continuing, and the hypothesis that different policies would provide a better outcome seems worthy of testing.
