> Why is it disingenuous? Trump can barely make plans minute to minute, never mind day to day or year to year. If he wasn't insulated by his inherited wealth he'd either be a homeless bum or in jail.

Quite the contrary, he has a unique talent for naming things and people for example that will get people to talk about for months or years. Think about his liberal use of expressions like fake news for instance. That seems to come to him naturally, not to mention his particular brand of original taglines and scornful epithets. Many of these words had an impact, in his election, in the first place, but also in the shaping of American politics.

The failure to recognize his talent is actually what hinders his opposition the most.

You may not like his unique form of marketing genius, but it's a creative force to be reckoned with. After all, this is a man who dubbed himself a stable genius, no less. Then you could say marketing BS is not a talent, or rather talk about creative destruction and fraud—but that wouldn't be very effective against it.

Believe it or not, naming is a field that supports added value. Some companies would pay good money for some of the gems he produced over the years.
If Trump wasn't insulated by his inherited wealth he would probably do very well as a copywriter (short copy).

Sounds very similar to how Coda works: https://coda.io
It’s exciting to see ecosystem build commercial products using Knative (https://github.com/knative). The developers on those platforms benefit from increased portability. Congratulations to the riff team behind the new Pivotal Function Service offering
Yeah, all of this is mostly fair. I dispute the idea that SKL and the laptop/desktop space is significant in a discussion of AVX — I don't think the laptop/desktop space cares much about AVX, and thus SKL (and non-EPYC Zen) is mostly irrelevant (IMO). That isn't a hard fact, though, and your opinion is also reasonable.

I'm not sure it makes too much sense to compare against older Cloud platforms — the same reason older Intel µarchs dominate (deployment of newer hardware takes time and money) also limits the availability of new AMD µarchs. But it is a reasonable point, if the relative prices of the offerings don't reflect the cost of new deployment in the way I imagine they would.

> I don't see how you could read my post and come to another conclusion?

I guess I misread your post! I'm sorry. My initial impression was that it was highly defensive of AMD. But I think I read too much into it. I'm sorry about that.

Funny that's exactly what I was thinking. We can hope, but we'll see. Hardware is hard.
Living in a major city the killer phone to me would be the dumbest possible incarnation of: Voice, SMS, and Rideshare. Emails can wait until I'm sitting down on my computer, so can banking, but those three utilities are essential to modern life and safety.

If you live in a major city and go out drinking, you need your ride home late at night.
Crime is pretty low in Australia, but that doesn't stop political parties trying to whip up paranoia about it to help their election chances.
I know it's mentioned briefly in the article, but I always loved the insult sword fighting from Monkey Island. Very funny and young me really had to think about the chosen response.
and a lack of public toilets. People are people — we generally would rather go to the bathroom in private if it's an option. Homeless people don't shit in the street because it's their first choice.
There is a colossal amount of investment in managing clusters of relatively puny nodes carved out of massive boxes broken into VMs, but I'd love to see what can be done for an OS for the kinds of machines that we have on our desks - with a couple complex and "general purpose" cores along with dozens, if not hundreds of small cores tuned to specific operations. I'm curious on how they could be unified under a single OS, managing processes sharing, perhaps, a single memory space but running wildly different instruction sets.

I would expect that would have been done in the mid 90's a couple times.
In terms of content quality, tumblr is sort of what Pinterest has always aspired to be.
I started a side project and created my own budget planner that did exactly what I wanted (and imports data from my bank).

I've recently considered to refactor it into a AWS Lambda app, as the current setup with Django API, celery workers and markojs for frontend is ... Slightly overengineered
That's not what I said. I'd ask that you reread my comment. Your emails aren't used for advertising purposes. There are a host of features that require varying levels of email analysis (from spam detection to putting flight times on your calendar to reminders that you'll be receiving a package).

None of those things require targeting advertisements based on email content. And that's what isn't happening.
My wife and I met when she moved in 3 doors down at Warwick; I know of a few other similar relationships, and many relationships formed in the sports teams.
Excellent post but once China subsumes Taiwan - and that day is coming - they'll have TSMC's technology and that much more electronics production monopolistic leverage.

Have you seen all the kids around? Let’s just say there has always been a lot of sex. What changes is the discussion around it.
Basic problems with Xanadu, from someone who visited there a few times when it was under development:

- Everything is pay per view in Xanadu. There isn't that much content people will pay for. Especially user-editable content. One proposal was expensive investment newsletters. The Bloomberg terminal is the exemplar of that model.

- Ted Nelson had strong ideas about how the implementation should work, and he's a terrible database architect.

- Nelson was very text-oriented. Pictures? Video? Not even considered.

- Search? What's that? This was pre-Alta Vista, let alone Google.

- The original design was very centralized. This was pre- world wide web.

- If you're not doing the micropayments thing, trying to pay every contributor for their few words, a wiki does most of what you need. Git does the rest.

- In a distributed implementation, keeping all those "transclusion" links in sync requires elaborate distributed database synchronization. A dead link in Xanadu means a gap in the text.

- Disk got a lot cheaper and the incentive to have only one copy of something is gone.
Treatment of mice with autism-like symptoms.

That said, this research actually genuinely attempts to research causation, where most of the other studies I've seen linking gut microbes and autism are essentially only demonstrating correlation. Anyone who has spent any time trying to make a picky autistic child eat a varied diet will not be surprised by this correlation.
Financial calamity prevented on every down turn year turns a normally unstable situation into a financial bomb. Markets are always unstable and they always correct. Thwarting the ultimate course of corrections ensure that eventually a correction comes that cannot be stopped or softened and the magnitude isn’t a calamity. It is a cataclysm.
The problem here is that the media of democratic and not so repressive states failed us miserably. It's not that almost all of them joined in unison when Afghanistan was attacked, and in a similar way during the invasion on Iraq that ultimately gave birth to ISIS. Even discussions on current copyright and patent laws are avoided. (As a thought experiment, imagine the Gates Foundation supporting generic equivalents of expensive drugs and going to a war with the Big Pharma; that's unthinkable, even though many more lives could be saved in this way - see the case of Sofosbuvir.) You need to be in line with the American values and ways of thinking or else you face trouble. This happens on so many levels people even stopped paying attention, let alone questioning it.
Feels a bit vindictive for a purely (unproven) crime of selling routers to Iranians? The pre-trial detention is almost undoubtedly worse than whatever her sentence will be.

I support letting murderers wait at home for their trial. Why not the white collar accused as well?
Yes, I've bought every alleged outliner since and nothing compares. What's amazing is that Ecco had 100% reliable cross-device syncing in 1990s, both PC-PC and PC-PalmPilot. So it has enough metadata in the database.

TreeSheets (http://strlen.com/treesheets/) is an open-source cross-platform codebase (wxWidgets) with fast graphics, since it was designed by a game developer. That's one possible starting point for cloning Ecco.

NoteLynx on Android has the ability for an item to be in two places within the outline, https://www.appbrain.com/app/notelynx-pro-outliner-mindmap-w..., as does Mindscope on iOS, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mindscope-thought-organizer/...
And rodents (that's rats and mice, you know, the critters cats hunt) with the extinction of 75 species, same source. Maybe it's complicated and pretending that pests and song birds are exactly the same doesn't help?
Well, 2 hours a day is probably close to what I averaged when I was a kid. So it probably wouldn't have changed anything - but only because a 2 hour a week limit wouldn't actually change my time spent on gaming by a significant degree. 2 hours a day is still a lot, it's 14 hours a week. About twice what most kids spend on homework.

If video game time were limited more substantially, I doubt I would have suffered directly. However I may have not found my passion for technology. If nothing else, this would have significantly reduced my economic opportunities. Not many other industries were someone under 25 can expect to make over $200k (including equity, mind you). True, money doesn't buy happiness of self-worth. Financial instability is a common cause of unhappiness and economic power better equips people to find happiness. So in that sense video games unlocked a passion that has allowed my employment to be both fun and lucrative.

As far as physical fitness, it doesn't take much to stay in shape at least for me. I'm not overweight (~170lb, 6'2"), I can run decently well (~5 miles in an hour). Sure, if I spent my time playing video games at the gym I could be much more muscular. But I'm not really sure how that level of fitness would significantly improve my life. My strength is sufficient for essentially all the activities I encounter. I suppose it'd make me more physically attractive, but I'm content with the degree to which women are attracted to me already.

I also can't really think of any life skills that I really lack. My dad was pretty handy and passed off a lot of those skills to me. Time spent on gaming didn't inhibit this. Heck if anything it augmented it: e.g. I wanted to lay down Ethernet cable to the game room to play Xbox live so my Dad had me run the cables through the crawlspace and taught me the basics of what modems, routers, and switches are and what they do. That plus other life skills like basic carpentry, changing cars and motorcycles' oil, brake pads, spark plugs.

Socially, games also helped me considerably. Making friends with other gamers helped me build a circle of friends that mostly shared the same passion for technology. We helped each other explore that interest, most of them also gravitated towards STEM fields. Academically, games didn't help but it certainly didn't hurt either. I always put academics first, and took something like 10 AP classes and got a near 4.0 GPA.

I suppose life could be better if I dedicated all my video game time towards learning programming and software development. But that's essentially relying on the power of retrospect. I didn't find my passion for computer technology until I dove so deep into gaming that I entered modding and amateur game dev circles.

Ultimately no one can really know what my life would have been like if I placed my time spent on gaming towards something else. But I do know that it played a pivotal role in helping me find a subject that is both interesting to me and pays very well. That's something that I'm incredibly fortunate to have, and it's not certain I would have found the same success if it weren't for the role video games played in my life.
As someone just learning english in my teens, it was a very long trial and error, word-association effort.
Under the hood it's webOS, but obviously a custom UI for a TV. I have a 2017 LG with it and it works rather well, no issues with 4K HDR on Netflix and YouTube, and other than booting, it reacts instantly as a TV should. It's a shame there are limited apps for it though - I'd really like apps for Steam Link and Kodi.
Clojure (and EDN) has it in the form of tagged literals.

That depends on the sub, and what you link to. If you link to something commercial immediately, that’s different than sharing product of a hobby or interest, or something commercial that’s popular and you’re asked to link to a sale site. There are some subs explicitly about things you made, though. If this wasn’t discouraged reddit would be people advertising 24/7. It basically is anyway, but it has to be discreet.

Overall people on reddit love seeing ‘a photo I took’ but it’s true that “here’s a photo my boyfriend took and was too shy to post on reddit” is better.
the big gap you claimed was between “the empire I’ve known forever is going away” and “this world might not be habitable in a century”. My statement was meant to indicate that I am not sure that a citizen of Rome would have the same understanding of those two concepts that an American today might have, although there might be other correspondences between the two, the understanding of a world outside their empire being meaningful enough that its destruction would be significantly worse than the destruction of Rome.

The degree and ends do matter. Chinese autocratic actions are not equivalent to the shaping of American discourse by for-profit institutions.

Microsoft Excel for Mac. I know, I know, but I'm only half joking. I wish Microsoft had even a tenth of the bug reporting options for their proprietary offerings that they have for VSCode. Without being able to get any kind of engineer eyes on serious performance regressions it may as well be abandoned.
Too much noise around defstruct code for struct only modules. You are forced to define the module, then the struct. It could be cleaner, just like Kotlin's data classes, for example.

Pipe operator is too rigid. It should allow to pipe not only to the first argument. I think F# does it.

It should support real named parameters, just like Python, or Kotlin. Not just Keywords or Maps in disguise.

It should enforce specs for behaviours at compile time, not only function names. It seems just right to enforce them if you are defining them into the behaviour.

Dialyzer job should be done already by the compiler without any further interaction from the user. If the user codes some specs (just like in behaviours) it should be able to use them to improve checks, but none should be needed.

It could have some simplified version of some OTPs routine patterns. I find myself writing always the same start_link, the same init, etc., just to change the same couple of words. There are some libraries that try to do it (exactor, for example), but I think it should be done right by the Elixir core team. Leading the way to cleaner and simpler Elixir code. In the same line than recent changes to supervision children definition.
I don't see that species in the article. How did you learn about that tropical species of yeast, and how long have you been taking it? What was your digestion/appetite like with and without that supplement?
I should clarify that dynamically typed languages are type safe in the trivial sense that they satisfy unityped type safety. What I meant is that they are not type safe by virtue of what they call types, in the sense that is used by non-unityped languages.

Critical thinking is good, but we have a system that only applies it to ideas that it doesn't like and a culture of hostility towards applying it to it's own sacred ideals.

The result of this system is not truth.

The result of this system is propaganda successful disguised as objectivity...

which is exactly what you need in order to effectively manipulate a democracy.
Permissible is relative to the person :) You can say plenty of "impermissible" things if your skin isn't thin, and you don't have an employer who will fire you because of it.

Not just the browser, the whole platform was crap to develop for. My company ported a bunch of apps by a major app publisher to various versions of Windows Phone and the documentation was shitty, the APIs were shitty, everything shifted with each new version and everything was buggy. We kept asking our local Microsoft branch for help (backed by the publisher we were porting for) and more often than not they were powerless to help.

A far cry from developers, developers, developers.
I meant the OS. Afaik,opensolaris was open source but solaris itself had closed source components,illumos and the rest ate forks not maintained and supported versions of solaris

And (without reading the post), it also seems wrong. That's not what an axiom is, by any definition of the word that I know. The term I know means more-less "something assumed as true, as a starting point for inference or discussion".
An old GM plant near my city got bought up by a Chinese glass manufacturing company. They make windshields and ironically sell them to GM.
Yea we can look back and be thankful to those that made possible to have nowadays an Electron hello world app with 115MB memory footprint :-)
Not true. I think you're conflating content with the traditional (for-profit) distribution mediums.

For-profit channels distribute profitable ideas. Profitsble ideas have mass appeal. Unsurprising.

However, there are no social pressure to write for the mainstream (beyond the practical constraints of our capitalist society). Social media has empowered counter-culture narratives toward both good and bad ends.

Right, this is also why it doesn't work in Safari. That's fixed now, but imperfectly (I don't know how to do the equivalent of setPointerCapture in ancient browsers, and also it only adds a mouse, not a touch handler, so still doesn't work in mobile Safari). Thanks!

Actually, advanced autodiff is one of its intended points of, er, differentiation :). The authors wrote the original Autograd package [0], released in 2014, that led to “autograd” becoming used as a generic term in PyTorch and other packages. JAX has all of the autodiff operations that Autograd does, including `grad`, `vjp`, `jvp`, etc.
We’re working on the number of supported NumPy ops, which is limited right now, but it’s early days.
Try it out, we’re really excited to see what you build with it!

I don't understand why parallelization of a kernel task is a good idea. Zeroing a page shouldn't take that long. Especially on modern processors. Also what else is a heavyweight task besides zeroing a page?
Elegant easy to use interface. Something my wife, mother, and others without any computer expertise used religiously and were saddened by demise. Now Google Photos on mobile is pretty good, but the web UX feels like it was pasted together without any thought as to user experience and both seem to make assumptions about what users know.

Actually they can - the second you place your foot on EU (or collaborating - extradition treaties) soil, and of course if you want to do business in EU then you need to have legal presence in the EU.
It is not just about privacy. With Android phones, you will sooner or later end up in a position where you can't install newer LinageOS versions, simply because your kernel is too old and the required binary drivers cannot be ported to newer kernel versions. Maybe project Treble helps to solve that problem, but it will still take a few years until we will find out (unless Fuchsia kills Android).

Nevertheless, I hope that Purism will be able to deliver a product which is as easy to use as a "normal" Android device with those privacy/sustainability features as a bonus. That way I might be able to give the people who ask me which phone they should buy next some good advice.
If the markets don’t have much appetite for mega money losers it will have chilling effects for the huge lot of them that have been waiting for their IPO day in the sun.

ZZT. I think a modern ZZT would make for a great educational tool to teach coding. A lot of existing, popular tools exist at either end of the spectrum of difficulty: too easy or too hard. ZZT was simple to design, fun to draw in, and the coding wasn't too complex.

Megazeux, a spiritual sequel by another lot of people, I always found far too complicated. It's not that different to ZZT, it just manages to be fiddly without a good enough pay-off in my view.
