Ok, some thoughts of mine:

1. Reactive thrusters for aiding turning - Bosch is playing with this concept already for motorcycles, and is an interesting idea. Effectively firing a thruster against the direction of turning. Would be interesting to see implemented, RIP to whoever was riding a bike next to the car that does a hard turn all of a sudden.

2. Braking - having a reverse-thrust system in emergencies would be interesting, but I'd imagine you'd need an awful lot of thrust... Again, RIP to the small child who's crossed the street and required you to emergency brake.

3. Acceleration. We have rocket powered drag cars already. Do it. Please.

4. Sustained flight of a car. I think that reefer over at Joe's office may have affected him deeper than we'd like to have thought.
The Perils of Snapshot Testing
That wired article points to an October 12th article[0] from the Washington Post as first using the term. The term doesn't seem to have been popularized until November 12th, when it takes off[1]. That's a full month later, but given the timing I think it's obvious why people suddenly started talking about it. Trump doesn't seem to have tweeted the term until December 10th[2]. At this point however I think he basically owns it. The British Government agrees with me that the term should be avoided[3]. It seems clear to me that no matter who started it, the word is in essence a propaganda term for 'propaganda.'

Has anyone considered using this or something else for IPC – that is, communicating between memory boundaries in the same application (e.g., Node/web, Swift or C# to a web container, etc.)?

Even just for Electron the built in IPC API doesn’t really cut it long term since you don’t get typing nor proper request/response or topic based streaming support so bugs are more likely to sneak in.
Jan Gehl measures walking speed in his studies of how people public space. There's a hundred little factors that go into making a place walkable. And of course people who walk a lot are in better shape and can walk faster.
> why big tech are so far outside SF / San Jose and have such long commutes for their employees.

They don't particularly have long commute times for an area the size of the Bay area:

http://www.governing.com/gov-data/transportation-infrastruct...

This is also a function of where the employee lives. If you reside in say mountain view, your commute likely will be under 20 minutes to the vast majority of South Bay tech companies. Less true if you live farther away, say in South San Jose.

There's no critical mass of tech workers in the East Bay (unlike SF, peninsula and South Bay) which limits the appeal of setting up shop there.
Well the stated resolution of Hubble is about 3 orders of magnitude smaller than necessary to resolve VY per my likely flawed calculation, so we're roughly within an order of magnitude of each other.

Either that or all those stars are uuuuuge
I find it interesting they don't cite any framework. They presumably wrote all the DNN code from scratch, which can certainly be done, but seems like a lot of effort unless you plan to commercialize, which clearly they are.
Even though you're certainly right, Amazon offers 'real' options for Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, that all use upstream code. They will almost certainly never offer a similar thing for MongoDB.
Nice job, deceptively simple, yet has the fun factor.

I actually missed the built-in noise function and instead used the same library you linked to. I tried switching to built-in C++ implementation just now and it was actually slower.

The Lua library for simplex does some FFI trickery and avoids crossing Lua/C++ barrier. Mike Pall is credited in comments, so I guess I'm not surprised it's faster.

"Do you suppose the "night sky" would be about as bright as day due to the number of stars?" --> I seriously doubt it. Not an astronomer but: 1) Remember that you are looking at a 2D projection of a 3D galaxy. There's a lot more room between each star in 3D. 2) Hubble photos use massive amounts of time lapse to create detail[1]. The picture is being misinterpreted by your brain's intuitive sense of brightness in a typical night sky photo. The density of the galaxy seems fairly typical, it's just a really detailed photo. 3) Look up Olber's Paradox[2].

Not likely. Heart rhythm isn't so much about the rate at which the whole thing beats, it's rather a little more complicated than that. It's about the synchronization between different parts of the heart, about the way the signal propagates from the Sinus Node, about how it relates to the body's requested demand.

Many things can go wrong. Many things do go wrong even in healthy hearts, for instance most people get ectopic beats every now and again, often without their knowledge. A simplistic FT approach would highlight stuff like that and no one would benefit from it.
Looks interesting.

In general I think Tex/LaTex is the way to go in terms of reporting and generation of pdf. The biggest problem with Tex is that it is so different from HTML, and it gets progressively more different and difficult if you have specific layout or style requirements.

What I wish for is a replacement for LaTeX, based mostly on web standards, extensible in javascript... Unfortunately I don't have the resources to do that.
keywords will help nothing.
Reason can come and go. That's the problematic part with clutter. Something may have lost it's purpose for now, but someday in the future a new purpose can appear and then it's not clutter anymore. Instead of comparing that 3rd room with a cache, I would call it an archive, a bank for items or just your "uselater"-room, where you collect items similar to how people collect bookmarks which they plan to readlater.

The relevant part is that clutter should not stand in your way, hinder you in your progress. Thus it must stored away and trimmed down from time to time if space is raching it's capacity. But besides that? If you have the space, who cares. As long as it's out of the way it's not a hindrace.
I'm curious about what you consider 'other areas' to be, and about how competent you think you are at them.
I don't think it's hard to understand, it's just the plague of consumerism IMO. Most people have the attitude that an item has a purpose, and that this purpose is it's only sanctioned one, and you can't use the item for anything else. So instead of using an item for multiple purposes, they'll just keep buying the same thing with different labels ("food scissors", "paper scissors", "knife for X", "knife for Y", "knife for Z", ...).

I doubt kids in the past would hear from their parents such bullshit like "you can't dice these eggs with this, it's for dicing onions", etc.

Its worth mentioning that VY Canis Majoris has a mass of "only" 17 Solar masses (+-8). This means it has a very low density.

"Despite the mass and very large size, VY CMa has an average density of 5.33 to 8.38 mg/m3 (0.00000533 to 0.00000838 kg/m3), it is over 100,000 times less dense than Earth's atmosphere at sea level (1.2 kg/m3). " [0]

Often these huge but low density objects are incorrectly rendered like our Sun with a "hard" surface. I think it's a pity because they are even weirder and more fascinating objects than that.

Rice isn't obesogenic. There are Asian cultures for which rice has been a staple food and that are lean. Wheat on the other hand is fairly toxic and eliminating grains from the diet is one of the best things you can do for your health.

That said, here we aren't talking carbohydrates, but rather sugar, as in sucrose or HCFS. The problem with sugar is that it contains fructose and the problem with fructose is that it gets metabolized completely in the liver, competing with other nutrients, like the poly-unsaturated fats from vegetable oils (ironically misnamed the "healthy fats"). And when the liver's glycogen store is full, that fructose gets deposited as fat, on the liver, on the pancreas, wherever it can. And a fatty liver or even worse, a fatty pancreas, is the best predictor of obesity or diabetes.

Interestingly medical professionals advise people to cut the fat from the diet in order to treat a fatty liver. It is true that it can help, however a much more effective strategy is to cut the sugar ;-)

N.B. the fructose we eats from fruits and sugary vegetables like carrots is in much lower quantities than the fructose we get from industrially processed foods. And processed food usually doesn't have fiber either, or if it does, it has the wrong kind of fiber. As usual "the dose makes the poison".

So yes, as a matter of fact beverages like Coca-Cola are toxic in a way that rice isn't.

The sugar industry has a long history financing research. The obsession the US got in with salt, fat and 'red meat' were often financed by the sugar industry.

The results were the absurd situation where things would be sold as 'low fat' but had doupled the amount of sugar and is marketed as diet food.

> Especially when one is poor, one is not educated about the impact food choices have on their health. That’s why there is a high degree of correlation between being poor and obesity.

In addition, healthy fresh food is expensive, especially more expensive than pre-made food, and poor persons are more likely to work two jobs and/or to raise a child alone, which means that they do not have the time to prepare a meal themselves.

Taxing sugar is nothing more than another tax on being poor or otherwise disadvantaged in life.

I suspect that most MongoDB users never get to the point where they need to horizontally scale (i.e. it gets chosen for fad reasons, not because they actually have something big enough to scale).

And the nice thing about this hypothesis, you can test it by looking how successful DocumentDB will turn out to be. ~

Apparently SimpleDB is still used quite a lot internally. As for their market tactics, there's no denying it works as their pace is accelerating and leaving everyone else in the dust. Most customers just want to pay some money and have a solution ready to go, they don't need infinite scaling from day 1, if ever.

This focus on actually meeting needs today is what keeps AWS on top while the others take 2 years to launch minor service upgrades.
> MTV just kind of blends in with every other white middle-upper class neighborhood in America,

Mountain view isn't as exciting as living in a cultural center (SF and Oakland being them), but it's a lot better than most of the places you compare it to.

First, it's actually majority non white, meaning you get a lot of cultural diversity you'd miss in elsewhere "white middle upper class neighborhoods".

Secondly, has access to great outdoors and weather. (Not all places in the city limits, but close enough).

Interesting tech scene (especially if you count next door Palo Alto)

Decent downtown for a city its size.

And reasonably dense by American suburb standards. While not SF, it also isn't full of the mcmansion type housing found in other affluent suburbs.

One of the problem with CSSOM and similar things is the problem of iterative layout: Let's say you have a list which should be split automatically on two pages. You also want to add a table header on the second page. But now the second part of the list doesn't fit on the page anymore. So you need to split the list further, and add another header.

Basically every change to the CSS or DOM requires a reflow (or clever optimizations to avoid that).

> A representation of a dog or cat in your mind is a data structure of a kind. Embeddings are about the names, not the named.

The later Wittgenstein's philosophy was about how meaning is language usage. As such, it was not interested in the names, which are arbitrary rules of the language game. In ordinary speech, talk of dog and cats is not about data structures or representations. That sort of talk takes place in a specialized language game like computer or cognitive science. As such, it's an abuse of language to reify the usage in one language game for all language games, as if a word had a universal meaning independent of the game.

Don't know specifically about this one but many aren't. The Pillars Of Creation isn't[1]. Also we humans can never see most of space in "true color" with our own eyes, even in a telescope, because the brightness of the incoming light is so low that our eyes are detecting the photons via color-insensitive rods rather than cones. Only a time-lapse photo can bring out the real colors.

[1] http://hubblesite.org/image/351/news_release/1995-44 -- "The color image is constructed from three separate images taken in the light of emission from different types of atoms. Red shows emission from singly-ionized sulfur atoms. Green shows emission from hydrogen. Blue shows light emitted by doubly- ionized oxygen atoms."
An API is just a collection of facts of the form, "if the system gets input X, the system produces output Y". And facts shouldn't be copyrightable.
The whole thing seems like a hammer looking for a nail. It's clear from every study quoted that there were always multiple factors that changed the results, and they were trying to find one "overall" factor, but even that was limited.

For example, most of the "walking speed" measurements are done in "downtown locations". Most cities are not made up of downtown locations, downtown is one location in the city, so the measurements only indicate why people walk fast in downtown locations.

They also quote other factors that change the results, like environment, and culture. So basically the results change for any cities that aren't identical. And they're trying to use a national metric (GDP) to relate to walking speed in individual cities, when it's obvious that walking speed is going to relate more to local economic metrics, not national.
A reckless enough design (e.g., returning success when a request is merely buffered at the client) can lose writes without telling you that it lost writes, which won't affect its popularity among users who don't audit for that.
Truncating a string to fit in a fixed-size storage field is probably the most common reason to split at a particular byte position. If you’re throwing data away anyway, you probably don’t care too much about the little bit of corruption.

Granted, this is certainly incorrect but has little to do with safety, especially if the downstream code has to revalidate everything anyway.
Also never use Math.pow for squaring numbers (used in the distance function) because it is significantly slower as it is designed for abitrary real exponents, not just integer ones. Cannot be learned soon enough IMO :)

By default rust links dynamically to glibc, while rust stuff is statically linked. Which I think is a reasonably good default. Most Linux systems provide glibc, and you can deploy binaries to them without those systems needing a rust installation.

Of course, there's the usual issue with glibc symbol versioning, so you probably want to build your binaries on the oldest supported system (say, a centos 6 container).

Shameless plug - I'm trying to improve upon Elm and React's programming model with my Concur UI framework. Its programming model is a bit unusual, it uses Monads to sequence widgets in time, but it is designed to be extremely simple to use, and you don't need to actually understand Monads to use it. An advantage is that it's not artificially restricted like Elm, and allows you to use advanced Functional Programming tricks when you can and want to.

It is available for [Haskell](https://github.com/ajnsit/concur), [Purescript](https://github.com/ajnsit/purescript-concur), and [Javascript](https://github.com/ajnsit/concur-js) (so no need to learn a new language), and also allows using external React components. The Javascript version uses Async Generators as a substitute for Monads.

With Concur, you can implement the entirety of Elm architecture with a few lines of idiomatic code.

Purescript or Haskell -

elm render update = go
where go st = do
action <- render st
go (update st action)

Or in JS -

function elm(render, update){
var go = async function*(st) {
action = yield* render(st);
yield* go(update(st, action));
};
return go;
}

Ooh let's take a tour of big languages.

- C has given up on new identifiers save the "reserved namespace", consisting of an underscore followed by an Uppercase, which is how you get _Bool and _Generic. Oof, nuff said.

- C++ has stretched poor `static` to its limits, and now incorporates context-sensitive "identifiers with special meaning": `final` and `override`. No new hard keywords in C++17 AFAIK.

- C# takes this even further with its LINQ-driven contextual keywords.

- JavaScript stumbles about by adding new identifiers, BUT only in strict mode, and even then only sometimes; `yield` is especially ambiguous.

Fill in the blanks please!
