> There's a lot of what I'd consider to be non-trivial transformation going on between the code you pass to the Svelte compiler and what comes out of it and runs in the browser. Personally, I'm less comfortable with that...

How is this different than the "non-trivial" transformations that V8 makes to actually compile and run your code? Does svelte do unpredictable / unexpected things? Don't you make runtime calls to the react lib where they can do whatever they want? I'm genuinely confused.

I don't care one way or the other - I'm not a web dev. It seems from this comment that you're just scared of compilers, which is strange. No matter what you're relying on third party libs in your code. Why is it somehow safer for that third party code to be used at run time rather than compile time? I would probably argue the opposite. Why the strong aversion to compilers?
Tesla battery is $6500. I doubt other EVs can get much lower.
This is interesting. Go seems to have the complete opposite stance. The stdlib are some of the most useful and well written packages you can use in the Go ecosystem, and then you have the "extended" standard lib which isn't 100% in the language yet, and even further sometimes concepts from useful community packages make it into the std lib.

As to why this is the case, I think maybe this is enabled by Go's backward's compatibility focus and encouragement to upgrade early and often, and the community's focus to utilize small interfaces sometimes from the stdlib itself, like io.Reader and io.Writer, or http.Handler. Added to that w.r.t. using the latest and greatest, most Go users frequently are using the latest version of Go even in production (per the go experience surveys).

I am sure it also helps that Google pays people to develop, maintain, and improve the stdlib.
Mutli-inheritance bug between Python 2.7 and 3.7
That's true. In this case, a broader search will show you that in spite of the potential conflict, the research seems solid.
Back the day I used to binge play games. If I couldn't get myself to do that it was a clear sign I lost interest. Now, older, family and generally less time (or need to sleep ;-)), I stuck half way through Borderlands 2 since more than a year. Last game I really played was Battletech, no idea where I found the time for it.

Ehat really stopped was the recurring hardware upgrades ever two or three years. The last one was more than 5 years ago I think...

Marginalia- The Lost Art of Conversing with the Books
> That doesn’t mean we can’t get there eventually. We try to buy more and more open source, we set up co-operations across municipalities to define architectural standards so suppliers can’t define our infrastructure anymore

That's nice to hear. I think your best bet is indeed to slowly make sure you're not dependent on Microsoft. Even if Windows never wholly goes, at least Linux could then be a viable option for new deployments, or for smaller departments.
This is a meta-analysis of 13 studies. The rate change is certainly real, but remember this wasn't a study targeting that characteristic. I also didn't read the studies mentioned, so I don't know what time frame the change appears over (is it over a patients lifetime? a year? who knows?).

Also, all of the patients were Asian, which could also have some effect, and they were all lean. As far as I'm aware, these aren't characteristics of those who usually receive recommendations for regularly taking aspirin. Meanwhile, heart disease kills nearly a quarter of Americans.

> Results The search identified 13 randomized clinical trials of low-dose aspirin use for primary prevention, enrolling 134 446 patients. Pooling the results from the random-effects model showed that low-dose aspirin, compared with control, was associated with an increased risk of any intracranial bleeding (8 trials; relative risk, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.13-1.66; 2 additional intracranial hemorrhages in 1000 people), with potentially the greatest relative risk increase for subdural or extradural hemorrhage (4 trials; relative risk, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.08-2.18) and less for intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Patient baseline features associated with heightened risk of intracerebral hemorrhage with low-dose aspirin, compared with control, were Asian race/ethnicity and low body mass index.

> Conclusions and Relevance Among people without symptomatic cardiovascular disease, use of low-dose aspirin was associated with an overall increased risk of intracranial hemorrhage, and heightened risk of intracerebral hemorrhage for those of Asian race/ethnicity or people with a low body mass index.

It depends how much you worry about society going south because of climate breakdown (and how much you expect AGI to help or worsen the situation).

My current view is that the current political hot potato status of AGI means it won't be developed anytime before the climate crisis really kicks in. At this point fiat money becomes worthless due to emergency measures. Your best bet now to help your future self is to spend to prepare civilisation/your country/your neighbourhood/yourself for the ordeal.

Also due to the current political hot potato nature of AGI I would expect it to be seized/controlled by governments if anyone gets anywhere near close to developing it.

So I see little upside for investing and likely having a reduced capacity for adaptation if you do invest. You may have different ideas about the speed of development or badness of the climate breakdown though.

This approach is useful for a while, but once something is in a stdlib, its interface is frozen forever.
If only we have a Rosetta Stone of Etruscan and Minoan. Pre-Indo-European central Mediterranean will perhaps remain obscure for us forever...

> Or, we (as in I) can blame no one and instead, only realize there's no blame to manage.

I agree, I think the problem was not a particular microprocessor, but a greater cultural issue. At the end of home computer era, a PC has became someone's workbench, end users are not expected to learn and write programs anymore. There were bright sides, Xerox Alto, GUI, desktop publishing, multimedia, widely-available programs, no need to repeat those stories, we all know them. Meanwhile, accessibility to programming has largely been lost in this process.

On second thought, it's not all black-and-white, some accessibility to programming still exists. On Unix-like systems, "python", "perl" is one command away, and even on Windows, JavaScript is one browser window away. If the next generation rewrites the computing history today, I wonder what tools/environment would be seen as the 21st century equivalent of 6502 and home computers. I'm sure it would have a dedicated chapter to Raspberry Pi and Arduino devboards at least.
Facebook Ad Targeting Explained
When you move to or live in a city, you sign on to the things the city did/does. That you didn't personally agree to build a new library or hire Sally Jane as a Police Dispatcher is irrelevant.

I think people are leaving Chicago over solvency/funding outlook issues. I have two barely wealthy (single digit millions, almost surely) friends in Chicago who are moving to Arizona and Texas because they worry they're among the juiciest targets to be squeezed in the upcoming years.
I am usually the one who scape lunches at work because I want quietness and a break from work. Also, it is typically the only time of the day I can day dream and wander around the city center, where I work.

I find that eating at work to be quite unhealthy too. I tend to eat for instant gratification because I am too wired up, since there is no change of environment and my cafeteria is quite loud, etc.

I would also skip free dinner in case I work late but I would welcome a cab or car service to ride me home.

However, I will just add one benefits that would make a difference for me: a quiet room with yoga mats, maybe a pull up bar and some weights for some stretching here and there.
you close the file descriptors in the child process to avoid interfering with the parent, you can do this automatically on execve if they are marked with FD_CLOEXEC

or you simply avoid touching them. remember that forking only creates one new thread in the child process, there won't be any code running that you don't control or that would know about those file descriptors existing.
I went through a phase of playing pay-to-win games to see how far I could get without paying but really they're not games at all. They're psychological habit forming devices designed simply to get you to play every day to farm your wheat or bomb your neighbour or whatever. I haven't played one in years and don't expect to play one ever again. They are a scourge.

So I'm an avid boardgamer (as in Euro games aka boardgamegeek.com) and, for me, the phone and tablet have been an absolute boon as some of those have high quality ports. You'll typically pay $5-10 for them but it's totally worth it if this is your thing. Honestly I want more of this so I'll basically buy any quality implementation of a board game just to encourage more of this.

Here are some of the better ones:

- Through the Ages (totally playable on a phone)

- Agricola (this one probably needs a tablet)

- Race for the Galaxy

These are of course the usual suspects there too like Settlers of Catan, Carcasonne, Ticket to Ride, Splendor, etc for games on the lighter end.

The only IAPs with these are expansions, which I'm totally fine with.

Non-PTW games seem to be largely dead, which is sad. Think Waking Mars. But the market has spoken as there's way more money in PTW. But I actually really enjoyed playing the earlier Asphalt games (like 6/7 whereas later they went free and heavily upsell you on buying in-game stuff). I've put more hours than I'd care to admit into Bejeweled HD (the Diamond Mine variant). Years ago I also played a lot of Angry Birds but even those went heavily PTW.

I'll close by saying this to game developers out there: games can be free that are PTW, have ads or both or they can be non-free with no ads and no IAPs other than purchasing more content. Nothing annoys me more than a game that tries to charge to buy and then you find out it's actually PTW or (worse) it started off non-PTW but then they bolt on PTW or ads or they just nag you to death.
> Further, the second a smart one starts getting devastating results, there will be political push-back to do something about it. People might cast votes to make rules about them that limit their power or rate of development.

My fear of AGI is that it will not be able to be stopped once deployed, as you're saying. It's irreversible. It will know that we want to shut it down, and so it will be able to copy itself onto other devices (think about the hacking capabilities of AGI for a moment), or any other method of survival.

The current approach is to regulate it after it is invented. While this worked for cars and planes and many other inventions, AGI is different for the reason above.

In fact, with that in mind, a scary thought is that any group of researchers who are cognizant of that would hide their creation of AGI if successful, assuming they were motivated by profit. Thus it would remain woefully unregulated.
Don't forget that until mid-2000s there were like ten very good games a year, so every magazine had to write about them, and then you had a couple dozen okay games and something like ‘Lula the animated simulator of porn studio management.’ So everyone more-or-less knew the good stuff and not the hundreds of copycat daily-grind business simulators.

In ~five years between 2006-11 we went to full onslaught of indie games with the markets barely distinguishable from the olde Flash game sites. Everyone can make an ‘indie game’ now―they're not even called that anymore, I think. IPhone and Android happened in the same time.

BTW, it sorta helps to have ‘queues’ of stuff you want to read, watch, listen to, or play. I've gathered some titles just from seeing each mentioned twenty times on the web―many are classics by now, of course (especially since my games queue doesn't move much anyway).
Good catch. I should be more careful next time...

> For example, it's little endian because little endian won (because it is better).

Could you elaborate on this? My understanding is that Little Endian was introduced to enable some optimizations on low-level mathematical operations or fetch operations. However, as the block size for ram operations increased, together with the transistor count, it was IIRC shown (I can't find a reference) that there were little advantages in using one or the other (different optimizations being possible in either). I tend to prefer Big Endian, as it is closer to our numerical representation, and the network order.

Saying that Little Endian has "won" could be justified if you only look at x86, but I wouldn't call that the whole story.
Exposure to several different ways of solving similar problem sets could help you think outside of the box (or in many boxes at once, at least). Clojure is a great choice for one box. Maybe look into what Haskell or ML do with type systems, or what Smalltalk does with message passing. I picked these to complement Clojure's strenghts.

This is neat! When I first started reading and it described itself as "transforming nested data structures" I immediately thought of specter, which we use quite a bit at Latacora. We've published a library, eidolon[0], with common specter navigators.

To get a feel for the difference I translated a few of the examples to what they would look like in specter.

A few things I learned:

- supdate is very useful if the data you have is already regular and not too convoluted. By comparison, most of the time the data I pass to specter is a giant (>100MB serialized and compressed) rat's nest (data from every AWS service under the sun).

- supdate is very good at this "implicit projection/selection" (in the relational algebra sense). It feels a lot more like Datomic pull syntax that way than specter. By comparison, the equivalent specter thing made me write a pretty complex multi-path with submap to get the same behavior. By comparison, specter feels better at the logic programming equivalent of this: in specter, I express the data I want to address and specter figures out where it lives; in supdate, I tell you exactly where it lives, structurally.

- Implicit selection (per previous point) feels like something that's maybe most valuable for data representation, so, UIs? To quote Perlis, "It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than 10 functions on 10 data structures.", so something I have done a few times with specter is write a navigator for commonly accessed things (like the actions in an AWS IAM statement) and then reuse that all over the place. It's harder for me to see how to do that in supdate, but I guess it's all data so it can't be that hard :)

In conclusion: I think it does what it says on the tin. There are things that it can't express (or at least I can't figure out how), but it's very clear at expressing the things it can. I probably won't end up using it, but that's not an indictment of the tool as much as it tells you what we use specter for :-)

Hashes don't need to have large changes in output for small changes in input. A hash just transforms input data into a fixed space.

For example, perceptual hash functions like Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) for text and pHash for images are designed so that small changes in input produce small to no change in output.

Also, your DNA is an order of magnitude (or more) more similar to someone in Tokyo than it is different to someone in Seattle.

With some improvements to pantalaimon's test, and compiling with -O3, Knuth's scheme is 25% faster than the naive search on my 2012 MacBook Pro with latest developer tools (Apple LLVM version 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.46.4)):

naive search average: 779106.00 ns
knuth search average: 593421.56 ns

The sources are in http://codepad.org/G2SBmTnC and the changes were mostly removing constants here and there to keep the super-smart compiler from unrolling the loop in the naive case (which in the real world, it wouldn't, as the size of the array would not be known at compile-time). Also, searching for a 32-bit integer is way more realistic than searching for a byte!

The inner-loops are pretty much as you'd expect (although why it uses two registers for addressing the array is beyond me).

Knuth:

LBB1_1:
cmpl %edi, (%rdx,%rcx)
leaq 4(%rcx), %rcx
jne LBB1_1

Naive:

LBB2_8:
cmpl %ebx, (%r12,%rdx)
je LBB2_11
addq $4, %rdx
cmpq %rdx, %rax
jne LBB2_8

Of course, all the comments about not being thread-safe are correct, and you probably only want to do this trick in primitive environments where you can allocate an extra slot at the end of the array when it's first created. But it's a nice trick when circumstances call for it.
