Perhaps a bit grim, but I'm actually visting my dad, who ended up in hospital a couple of days ago. He's survived, but he's not been in great health recently and I've been thinking a lot about life and death.

In 1950 he'd have been about 6 years old. If you then look at the 2018 curve for 74 year olds, you can see a fairly large part of his cohort has passed. Looks like more than half actually, if I'm interpreting this right.

If you look at it, he's also on that part of the chart where your annual hurdle rate is rapidly increasing. Nobody's surprised that people in their 80s and 90s pass away.

What's maybe a bit more surprising is for younger people, even though your annual loss is quite low, it's still there and accumulating. If you look at 1980, those of us nearing 40 in 2018 are slightly fewer, but it's noticeable.

I'm also of an age where a few of those have started to hit home. I went to a small high school, maybe 90 people in my year plus the two adjacent years. At least 4 have passed away.

SMRs have a big problem though: the number of people needed to operate a reactor does not scale linearly with the power of the reactor. This is why commercial reactors got so big in the first place: to reduce operating cost per unit of produced energy.

SMRs are getting attention now only because big reactors are essentially dead commercially. So I propose they be renamed HMRs: Hail Mary Reactors. They are the last shot nuclear has, and not a very good one.

Mustangs had to be brought over for a long time and they were very unusual in Europe. Now that Ford builds a model for Europe, I see them a ton here in Hungary. It's easy to spot them because they have the license plate section sized properly for European plates. I'm not sure when they started building Mustangs for Europe, but I'm pretty sure it was in the last few years.

This article talks about their popularity last year:

I really like thunderbird. Because it is the only client I know of that has all the features I use:

- multiple identities

- multiple accounts

- a very good search

- imap idle support

- nntp client

It could be better on a lot of aspects, like the ui looks a bit outdated (I use it on kde, so it does not integrate very well with the rest of the de), the search could use some more filters, and I can not sort folders in the left pane. But apart from that, it has all the bells and whistles a real email client needs to have to make it really useful.
Well, they're big by UK standards. Maybe, I shouldn't generalise to all of Europe though my impression is that Europe, in general, trends to smaller cars on average.
That was one of the reasons I choose this stack. The plan was hiring team just after stack was set. Unfortunately financial plans toppled and we (2 full stacks + front end UX) were stuck with very complex architecture designed for ~10.

If I would be to working on only 1 part it would be great, but instead of parallelizing effort it was sequenced which kind of sucked.

Combinatorial Explosion
(2011) Stephen Hawking tells Google ‘philosophy is dead’
Hi rlue!

This is largely due to China's population dynamics.

Here I've made a chart that shows the number of births (and deaths) in China over the last 69 years: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/births-and-deaths-project...
30 and also 50 years ago China had large cohorts of newborns, these are the 'ripples' you see going through the global population pyramid.

The number of births is always determined by two factors: the number of children per woman in the reproductive age bracket (called the Total Fertility Rate). And the number in the reproductive age bracket.

Here is the Total Fertility Rate for China: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/children-per-woman-un?tab...

The large cohort born around 50 years ago is the parent generation of the large cohort born 30 years ago.

So the question is what explains the large cohort in the 1960s?
That is the cohort born right before the rapid reduction of the Total Fertility Rate (from 6.4 children per woman in 1965 to half of that 15 years later as the chart above shows; this is largely before the introduction of the strict one-child-policy by the way).
And it is the cohort born after one of the largest mass deaths in history. The Great Leap Forward Famine from around 1951 to 61 https://ourworldindata.org/famines#great-leap-forward-famine...
Around 30 million died and as in all famines the fertility rate declined substantially, to then jump again right after the famine.

Good questions! I should have mentioned them in the post.
Let me know if you want to know more.
We've also felt the complexity of React and Apollo. It works best when, as others mentioned, you've got distinct teams that can focus on each part. In situations where that isn't the case the same decouplings that make it easier for teams to operate independently just add overhead and complexity.

We're in a similar boat these days so in fact our latest projects are back to simple server side rendering, but we're still making the data retrieval calls with GraphQL. It ensures that that the mobile app and reporting tools we're also developing will have parity, and we don't need to write ad hoc query logic for each use case. The built in docs and validations have simply proven too useful to pass up, and you really don't need a heavy weight client to make requests.
Thats not what I meant. I was more considering "help those people" than "take advantage of them and lock them in"

People tend to do a hard distinction between symbolic AI and machine learning, but actually some machine learning algorithms are based on symbols (eg. decision trees and association rules build logical rules). I recommend Pedro Domingos book, The master algorithm, in which he describes the "5 machine learning tribes" (one of them is referred as "the symbolists") and advocates for a unification of different machine learning algorithms. He even proposes a particular instance of algorithm that would fulfill these criteria: Markov logic networks. He has developed an implementation, called Alchemy (https://alchemy.cs.washington.edu/).

If by symbolic AI we mean GOFAI, expert systems etc, I don't think that there will be ever a resurgence. But if by symbolic AI we mean machine learning algorithms that are somehow based on symbolic reasoning, I do think that there will be a resurgence. In particular, this resurgence will start when:
a) Deep learning arrives to its limit (ie. research gets stuck)
and/or
b) Someone finds a scalable and SOTA-ish way to integrate symbols into gradient based algorithms.
I'd never understand racism.

Here is a true story: when studying in London, I met there another Greek in the same course and we became friends; in a parallel course of ours, there was this black dude from the Carribbean, to which we occasionally chit chat about our countries, our experiences, mostly over launch in the University cafeteria.

After some time, we were regularly been eating together with this carribbean dude, we became sort of friends.

And then my Greek friend dropped the bomb: "I don't want to eat with Jim, because he is black". I was dumbfounded!!! I didn't ask why, because it was so stupid...

Here is another true story: my and my buddy (not the person in the above story, another one, close friend of mine) had the chance of meeting some nice girls at a local cafe. We approached them, and us being young and eager to meet some ladies, made the first move. Within them, there was this gorgeous black lady, tall, slim, amazing face, etc. I was natually inclined to her, so I made my move...after a few times we went out, me, her, my buddy, and a white friend of her, I noticed my buddy refused to shake hands with my date...I said 'what's up? why don't you shake hands with her?"...he looked at me with a blank stare and said 'I just don't want to'. Excuse me, what the fsck? It turned out my 'buddy' was an extremely racist person and considered all black people to be inferior. He wasn't my friend after a bit of time though.

I truly have a serious problem understanding the people that are racists. It's one thing to be cautious when meeting someone, especially one that you don't know their value system, but to be blatantly racist and consider others inferior like that? I will never understand that...

MS and Oracle claimed copyrightability of APIs. Think about that. It surely didn't help accepting .NET and Java as worthwhile universal tools. Too bad for them. Good thing WASM avoided this pitfall.
Argonne some decades ago had a small effort looking at magnetically confined kinetic energy storage rings (MCKESR), for just the scaling reason you stated. It started out as "put a magnetically levitated train on a circular track" but was optimized to other configurations after that.

Well my main issue is that most of the time when I put a breakpoint somewhere it just doesn't work, or if it works it's pretty much impossible to move forward or backward from line to line because, as stated in OP's article, going to next line in a React app for example, you end up in the actual React implementation code instead of being able to separate framework and written code.

To me, that makes it pretty much unusable enough that I just don't try to use anymore.
At this point it is useful to reiterate that global population growth right now is no longer exponential. Not even linear. It is sublinear, and the population expected to be stabilized around 2070, in the vicinity of 9-10B.

I started this because I wanted to build a lightweight web-based and well tested parser for PlantUML. This is to support an other project of mine: A fully web based and interactive visualization for PlantUML.

I am looking for feedback, and maybe more reference projects. This implementation uses PEG.js and its main focus is high test coverage and traceability of changes. I try to achieve this by the use of many fixtures. So even if you don't plan on contributing code, opening an issue with a PlantUML diagram will help :) Thank you.

what does late binding by you? That sounds like an argument for non-strictly typed languages. Isn't in the strict typing that prevents late binding? The compiler wants to know at compile time the types of all the messages and whether or not an object can handle that message hence all messages must be typed and all object must declare which messages they accept.
Here's a different view:

> Obviously, but that's because businesses act unethically -- ie, for private profit over public good.

I don’t find that unethical. What’s more, I do it all the time—for example, right now I’m watching Netflix instead of doing any kind of public service. I have two kidneys, but only really need one. I use my money to buy stuff for my own usage, instead of donating it all after I fulfil my basic needs.

And if I happened to run a business, I would do the very same thing. So I don’t think it’s my place to be calling people out on things that I do too. Doing things for the community should be held in a very high regard. But being legally forced to do that seems really inappropriate to me.
I guess it depends on how you count "big". They're not exceptionally big, but clearly more in the size league of big Mercedes/BMW/..., which all are "big" compared to common "sensible" cars.

Model X and Model S and other cars in that class are wider than the current models of the VW Transporter van, and even longer than the short wheelbase model.
Sounds awesome, can you show off some examples?

Plenty of tracing GC also offer the same control over arenas and deterministic destruction, one just needs to actually use them, e.g. D, Modula-3, Mesa/Cedar, Active Oberon, Eiffel, System C#, C# 7.3/8...
I feel like it might be a cause of being a bit older but my (single) mother always said that women and men were equal in worth not aptitude.

Her exact words were “men and women are equal but different, in many ways they’re complimentary” she then explained that some men look down on women because they didn’t value how women think about things. She also said the same is true of some women viewing men.

Later she would say that men and women are equally shitty to each other (when I was being abused at school by girls who knew I could not physically retaliate).

I currently hold these views and neither feminism nor men’s-rights-activists seem to ascribe to those values, at best they pay lip service to the notion that we’re (on average, and grossly generalising) complimentary.

I remember a small blurb about “judging a fish by its ability to climb a tree” in reference to our education system-

Maybe it’s a old way of thinking. Maybe my mum wasn’t right at all, but I don’t understand why we can’t celebrate our differences instead of expecting women to fit in to men sized roles. Or alternatively making a “middle-ground” box which has to fit both sexes.

If anyone wants to alter my way of thinking; I’m completely open to it- I am perfectly willing to accept that I’m old fashioned or incorrect here.

Although it might looks like a weird design choice, an installed app was the only possible choice not to store the user credentials on our servers. I have elaborated this in another post.
Your point is indeed interesting, and true in a theoretical sense, but not in a practical sense, I think.

People and companies do build in buffers, because efficiency != best-case efficiency. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor If you have a meeting at 11:00, you won't plan to reach the office at 10:59. Personally I plan to reach by 10:30 so that I don't have to spend time worrying about being late, which is a waste of mental capacity. For me that's maximally efficient. So I think your definition of efficiency is wrong, if you get what I'm trying to say.
trouble is that social network helps misinformation spreading at a faster rate than "good" information.

Initial misinformation, is usually quite widespread before any correction is issued, and even then correction usually get less spread ( mostly because people who have been spreading misinformation would not admit that they are wrong ).

Also blocking, muting and bubble effect contribute to wrong information staying in the same sphere.
The index itself is already separate in a sense that nobody is being stopped to do the indexing task themselves.

Google is a private for-profit company so we cannot realistically expect them to provide something for free to the public without generating profits in return.

The web index is not a locked up proprietary resource by anyone, so people can do the indexing themselves but the real question is how do you fund a service that will keep increasing its workload exponentially and indefinitely? What institution will have the required resources to bare such costs?
This is way off. Please try to do more homework.
Yep, unfortunately you have to consider any NPM (or whatever) libraries as your code, your responsibility & your problem. You might need to get/build source maps for those and debug them to see why it is falling over.
Where do you get clients? Or is it your own property?
Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike wrote that stepping through a program less productive than thinking harder and adding output statements and self-checking code at critical places. Kernighan once wrote that the most effective debugging tool is still careful thought, coupled with judiciously placed print statements.
From my point of view, we should try to improve humans before we attempt to create and contain a general intelligence in order to have a serious chance at that. BCIs are improving every day and there are many ways we can use it. Let's just wait what will be the VR/BCI/ML equivalent of MS office.

While he may be talented, such prioritization can lead to massive failure, burn out, and/or even worse.. Maybe sit down with him to rationalize his thoughts and plan.

Providing a hand out or alternative to avoid the problem is simply encouraging the self-destructive behavior. Always aim for solving the root problem - bandages don't work in the long term.

Uh huh. Because past promises of what nuclear reactors would cost have been so on-target.

At this point, I will believe a new generation of reactors is cheap and wonderful only after N of them have been built, costs have not exploded, and the maker isn't in bankruptcy.

The implication that stupid people are the ones lobbying against nuclear is deplorable. I'd argue the shoe is on the other foot. Nuclear's cost disease renders continued pursuit of the technology very difficult to justify.

The only difference is that WASM will be available ( I assume ) in most PC Chrome Browser within 2 - 3 years of releasing, that is 800M+ assuming Chrome with stable market shares. Along with Android, that is a potential of 2-3B devices, assuming stable upgrade cycle and shipment.

That is more penetration than Java could ever get on Desktop and Mobile.

Although Java is actually doing ok in embedded space, I am not entirely sure how WASM would work for that segment.

I didn't coin the term "object" -- and I shouldn't have used it in 1966 when I did coin the term "object-oriented programming" flippantly in response to the question "what are you working on?".

This is partly because the term at the time meant a patch of storage with multiple data fields -- like a punched card image in storage or a Sketchpad data-structure.

But my idea was about "things" that were like time-sharing processes, but for all entities. This was a simple idea that was catalyzed by seeing Sketchpad and Simula I in the same week in grad school.

The work we did at Parc after doing lots of software engineering to get everything to be "an object", was early, quite successful, and we called it "object-oriented programming".

I think this led to people in the 1980s wanting to be part of this in some way, and the term was applied in ways that weren't in my idea of "everything from software computers on a network intercommunicating by messages".

I don't think the term can be rescued at this point -- and I've quit using it to describe how we went about doing things.

It's worth trying to understand the difference between the idea, our pragmatic experiments on small machines at Xerox Parc, and what is called "OOP" today.

The simplest way to understand what we were driving at "way back then" was that we were trying to move from "programming" as it was thought of in the 60s -- where programs manipulated data structures -- to "growing systems" -- like Smalltalk and the Internet -- where the system would "stay alive" and help to move itself forward in time. (And so forth.)

The simplest way to think about this is that one way to characterize systems is that which is "made from intercommunicating dynamic modules". In order to make this work, one has to learn how to design and maintain systems ...
Sure, newer plants produce less highly radioactive waste than old ones. Don't those plants also still contaminate their building materials over time, which then results in literal tons of somewhat radioactive waste that also needs to be stored, albeit with less stringent requirements?
About the permission to delete contacts and calendars, as mentioned earlier, the problem is that Google does not offer a way to exclude the “delete operation” from the grant. MineTime contains no code that could ever delete contacts or calendars.
