Yeah, I've been wanting a similar chrome extension, actually. HN comments serve as a very valuable filter for information that I learn from, and I think it'd be great if the rest of the web benefitted from that kind of proofreading. Little annotations as a layer on top of the web.

Managing the community would be a bit tough, but if you seeded it with the HN community, and managed to keep the same self-regulating culture, I think that would be a strong base to start from.
It’s not a good comparison. Submarine crews are larger, have more history and culture to fall back on, and submarine diving is routine compared to space flight. And also you’re only ever one ascent away from home. The environmental factors might be similar but the net stress levels don’t seem to be.

Use GPU to run FST decoding is not something new. The major challenge is how to run it efficiently when model cannot fit
into one GPU. The reason Kaldi still uses CPU for decoding is that with a beefy CPU machine many decoders can run in parallel with just one copy of the model in memory. With enough CPUs, the RTF isn't so bad.

Totally unrealistic. Insurance companies typically assess risk with actual data, they are very reluctant to insure completely unknown risks without a loss history that can be evaluated. Who's going to be the initial ones dying so that the risk can be estimated?
Perhaps you should compare to other OSs rather than a physical supermarket.

On Android, you can turn on "Unknown Sources" & install Amazon App Store, F-Droid, Humble Bundle's store, etc. You can even download .apks directly from developers cough YouPorn, XNXX, etc cough.

On Windows, you have Microsoft's store built into Windows 10, but you can easily download a .exe or .msi from a developer's site and install it.

On Linux, most distros come with a package manager, but there are a variety of ways to install apps outside the package manager your distro comes with.

Even on macOS, you can easily download a .dmg from a developer's site and have it installed in a few clicks if you want to install something outside the built-in app store.

On iOS you get Apple's store or.... a really difficult jailbreak process that sometimes takes months to come out after a new iOS version. It's pretty obviously more like a monopoly in this regard compared to the former.
Thank you for replying, dang.

Yes, Gurdjieff's pupils were famous artists and intellectuals of their time.
It is striking, reading his wikipedia page, how much of it is devoted to the
account of who joined his circle, who travelled with him when he moved, who
left his circle, etc. There is as much focus on Gurdjieff's pupils as on
Gurdjieff himself.

Still, that makes him a guru with famous pupils. In fact, he is probably still
remembered today because he had such famous pupils; certainly not because of
his teachings or any kind of personal contribution to knowledge.

He clearly must have been a charismatic figure to gather all those people
around him. Nobody becomes a cult leader by being boring and bland! But,
charisma and imagination are gifts squandered if they are spent cooking up
some ad-hoc "path to enlightenment" with the only purpose of seducing people
into becoming your faithful followers. It is exploitative to use one's gift to
inspire, only to steal your "students" time, to force them to believe your
every word, follow you around and practice your silly little "system" in hopes
of becoming "enlightened"- to promise everything when you have nothing.

I also know well the impact that meeting such a man can have: one becomes
bound to them, perhaps for life. Having once basked at the glow of the Master, you can check out but you can never leave. Like human
opiates, they offer brief pleasure and take everything from you in return,
holding you captive with false promises and empty dreams. It is not they who
are fascinating. It's the tendency of the human mind to fall down holes,
forever.

No account of Gurdjieff's life is complete if it does not put the fact of what
he really was, left right and centre. Especially not if it detracts from that
fact with such exhuberant praise as the article above.

Well, we don't have the department of horse safety, do we? I'm sure operators of business that do horse rides have general liability insurance. So, in effect, the free market did solve this problem.

> Because a free market does not solve all problems, even those that might theoretically be solved by a free market.

If it's a solvable problem, it can be solved with the free market. If a solution is possible that is merely not implemented, that means the market decided it wasn't of sufficient utility.
There were much drier "snippets" style communication for just talking about what's going on. I'd say that folks who abhor shameless self promotion typically didn't write much and instead worked with with the annoying extraverts on their team and mostly focused on making sure that the technical details were accurate. These things were often team efforts.
And I am sure it makes perfect sense for Apple to seed the entire market of people who have cable internet access and slow WiFi for what exactly?

> The regulators can (and do) take enforcement action against government bodies.

I did not dispute this. I merely said enforcement is usually not accomplished via fines when targeted against government bodies, because those are inherently expected to comply without the necessity of threats.

Skimming two of the linked pdfs, these did not mention fines.

If you're working as e.g. an emergency doctor or a firefighter, or you're responsible for keeping Gmail/Google Drive up, it's a different story of course.

The definition of a planet is not science, it's just an arbitrary rule.
I had a similar experience. My first programming teacher in high school was also my geometry teacher; a subject he taught extremely well (at least from my 15 year old point of view).

His programming class however sucked all the fun out of it. His brother-in-law was a retired manager at Motorola and gave him a bunch of (even for the time) thoroughly obsolete suggestions:

Everything started with being handed a specification. From there, you had to write a solution in pseudo code, which was a separate language from the one we were learning (TrueBasic I believe). Once your pseudo code was handed in and approved, you could begin programming; however, you had to document up-front all the variables you were going to be using and document their purposes. In addition, you had to explain in plain english what each subroutine did and what variables it would access and state whether it would simply read or read and write them (and then explain why).

I remember him saying "If you're a professional programmer, there's a good chance you'll have a manager who isn't a programmer and they'll be reviewing your work!" I think he took his brother-in-laws advice too much to heart, because he really felt like he was giving us all a real taste of what being a "real" programmer was like. Sadly, this was 1998, and I suspect software development hadn't operated like that for a good 15-20 years (or if this was a weird practice localized to Motorola in the 70s)

Any programming classes taught to minors should favor core fundamentals, exploration and creativity and avoid dwelling on industry practices which often have a shelf-life measured in years.
They're customers of Apple by virtue of owning an iOS device and thus being tied to Apple's app store.

Not really true. You can just have smaller cells - many more towers using lower power.

It just costs more to have smaller cells.
A music theory class can involve quite a bit of math. Often music theory can be taught as part of a larger music study.

Just as there is room for music theory in a well-balanced music education, perhaps there is room for programming language study in a well-balanced linguistics education. That said, the goals of foreign language classes are rarely (strictly) about the arts and sciences linguistics, but more often targeted more directly towards the arts and sciences of culture, sociology, sometimes anthropology. (Programming languages are somewhat deficient in teaching useful life lessons in these other studies.)
I have the Nokia 3310 3G (relaunched version).
It has many noticeable bugs/issues ranging from annoying to near deal-breakers, e.g.:

* Terrible MMS/group chat support (and bugs, e.g. messages showing up in previews but not in the actual channel)

* Inconsistent notifications

* Un-removable built in apps (that auto-install on first open)

I still use it but based on this thread I'm going to be following the Punkt MP02 (although $350 seems ridiculous). Or maybe at some point I'll get around to building that custom dumb phone I've always wanted...

I previously used the samsung A727 which I actually thought was great but is hard to find any more.

> LGBT on its own is already longer than it needs to be with 2/3 ways of saying 'attracted to people of the same gender or sex'

Sure and that's on purpose. Your perception of it is not the idea this acronym is trying to push. It's not a label to say "homosexual" or "I like people of the same gender as my own".

It's about unifying the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities together under an umbrella. Individually they have different values, lifestyles and challenges. Together they have a stronger voice and can tackle shared issues. They are very different identities.

As other communities grow bigger, they are welcomed into the acronym. That's the very point of it and that's why it often gain letters.
It's true that there is not much about it that's unique to OOP, but that can be said of most high level programming concepts. They're just the cobbling-together of lower level abstractions.

I just wanted to demonstrate why message passing via dynamic dispatch isn't so fundamentally different from static dispatch, conceptually, and to which extent it really is "making calls and sometimes they get picked up or not" compared to any other dispatch mechanism.

Kay might disagree with this on the basis that late binding is important and that an object should not need to know what messages it will be passed at run-time; that the message is just that, a message rather than a contract. The only contract that exists is that an object should be able to receive a message, any message. But even with checked method calls like in Java I think the fundamental idea that you shouldn't have to consider what effect a method has on an object remains. What a language like Java adds is contracts like abstract classes or interfaces, essentially a way to tell the type checker what messages may be passed to an object.

I agree that this approach can be useful in some cases and also think that you most likely not only AGNI, but that it will cause serious headaches and existential dread when applied to the wrong problem. So will Java. IMO OOP is suffering a bit of a backlash not because it's a particularly bad, but because like a Swiss army knife it looks deceptively applicable to a wider range of problems than it really is.
The reverse problem (I have lots and lots of USB-A devices, while the only USB-C device in my house is my wife's Android phone, so like almost everyone else I had "no compelling reason" to want a device with any USB-C ports, let alone only USB-C ports) didn't convince Apple to leave one or two USB-A ports in their pro macbooks, unfortunately. That you can't go buy a current macbook and current iphone or ipad and connect the two when you get home unless you buy extra stuff, but you can if you have an older macbook, is silly. It is a point in favor of that "Apple's greatest MacBook Pro yet: the 2015" joke/actually-true-thing, I guess.

Is not having Perl such a worry? I'd imagine most systems that use this also use Git and that requires Perl, and I'm not aware of any GNU/Linux distro that doens't come with Perl (5, of course) pre-installed. While we're speaking of Perl, I just want to say how amazing Perl 6 is, especially compared to Perl 5, in every regard - from syntax to arrays/lists to the quality of the (admittedly small range of) libraries.

> But garbage disposal already costs money, doesn't it?

Itemizing the cost and tying it directly to the product price makes it much more effective as an incentive.

> Maybe it doesn't cost enough - but then rising prices for garbage disposal would at least have similar effect to mandating multi use packaging, without the market distortion?

Yes, that's what I was suggesting. But you need to do it in a way that packaging choice impacts the manufacturer's profit margin as directly as possible.
Okay, that's cool, but iOS is not a monopoly, and in fact in certain places of Europe it's very far from being one, so I don't see how Apple are monopolists.

You could consider that not allowing people to install apps from outside the App Store is "taking advantage of a position of monopoly", which is illegal depending on the circumstances, but iOS does not have a monopoly.
The scientific method produces predictable, reproducible results, and other philosophies do not. Therefore, it's more useful.
Those are also two communities with extraordinarily high rates of eating disorders.
I thought the exact same thing reading this -- this sort of science fiction prototyping reminds me of the kind of Scenario Planning practiced initially by Royal Dutch Shell, GE, and various militaries. GBN had a big business doing futures work for Fortune 100 companies for quite some time. This kind of engagement is pretty high-end business strategy work, but can be very compelling to a leadership team or a board that is working on long-term planning.

Clearly articulated potential futures can help large companies identify signals that a particular future is coming to pass or plan responses should that scenario become true.

In a world where technology seems to be "disrupting" almost every industry, it makes sense to me that science fiction futures would be especially relevant.
Being a Perl lover, I wonder if I should actually take a look at Scala? I've always been turned off it (and Clojure) because I don't care for the JVM, but maybe a good enough language can make dealing with the JVM tolerable?

I do already like Groovy (and have been using it for my day job, since it's one of the scripting options for Dell Boomi), so it wouldn't be the first case I've encountered of "I don't like the JVM, but this language makes it worthwhile".

Excessive old rows have broken production systems for me. Performance degradations can break things!
I suggest:

1. Read - books and articles about what you are doing

2. Go to conferences and meetups and ask questions

3. Make learning and self-mentoring part of your daily flow

4. See mistakes as learning opportunities and get your team to see it the same way, talk about mistakes with your team

5. If possible, find someone to mentor you externally, maybe even just an hour or two a month, just to ask them questions

Learn how to learn and how to figure things out. A mentor is there for perspective and pointing you in the right direction. Working with other like minded people that can help you at least think of things from a different perspective can go a long way.
> it's simply not what the languages are meant to do

I'd say you answered your own question, here.
I think most people progress past tablets to things like Surface Pros and Chromebooks naturally. The tablet market is dying because it's just not useful in a world where Chromebooks & Surface form factor PCs can run Android apps.
Oversimplification for sound bytes (and headlines/click-bait) is the primary cause for this.

News outlets are eager to 'report first' and don't bother correctly framing the science in a proper context of one study //which suggests more research and confirmation is necessary//.

Publish or perish, along with the lack of replication rather than trying to find something exciting to publish, or even enshrining the effort of replicating results (repudiating or confirming) to more strongly establish fact and carefully observe to see if there may be other causes/effects; is ruining the integrity of the scientific methods.

Finally, a lack of stable funding for maintaining and improving what should be public domain (established facts about nature) and the work of students of all ages to re-study and double check as they learn, is nearly the ultimate root cause. The true root cause being greed and the increasing likelihood that as we as a species approach 'abundance' that capitalism ceases to be a good means for wisely allocating resources. Surely that is the case when we are to the point of automated micro-transaction harvesting HFT and fractions of a second of advantage translating to profits in a financial sector that is a vastly over-sized portion of the GDP.

> But at the same time that trim system is, by design, not strong enough to overpower pilot input to the other control surfaces.

No this is not true. In near stall situations for which the MCAS is designed, a full deflection of the elevators is not enough to counter the stabiliser effects. I'm not sure about the entire flight envelope, but I guarantee there are other situations where the elevator cannot counter the stabiliser.

The right way to "regain control" isn't to overpower the stabiliser by inputs to other flight control surfaces, but to disable automatic stabiliser trim and manually trim the aircraft.

I kinda feel the same, but I'd probably put a bit more of a charitable spin on it. I can certainly see how it might be more intuitive to the OP to use an analog computer and how it might not be worth the cost of moving to a software system when this is good enough.

What I would disagree with is any assertion that this is objectively the best way, and OP does acknowledge in the original thread that this isn't necessarily the overall optimal setup.
Neither of those really have anything to do with the shell?

And it's not like it's all impossible to do yourself without the shell there's just a lot and the shell does it in a nice and well known way. Here are some examples:

Searching the path

Setting custom environment variables

builtins

One weird one that I feel like a lot of people don't know about is that you can run shell scripts from the shell without the shebang. But if you exec one you'll get a format error. It's not good to rely on this but it's another thing that surprises people with messy scripts.
