> although you can simultaneously craft as much as you want

Weird, I played ~70 hours earlier this year and I couldn't craft more than one item at once.
Strange that the availability of developers who can actually be recruited for the given languages isn't listed as a factor.
Man, if one of Go's pros is "good package manager", I'd hate to see what terrible package managers he's experienced. Seems weird to call out Java package management as a con in comparison.

I love Scala's type system, though, I suppose if I didn't have a very good CS degree I'd hate it. I think it strikes a good balance between powerful and usable.

Was nice talking to you, have a good day mate
Well San Diego is great and I would like to move back there when I can. My sister-in-law was born in Mexico and seems to not like to visit her original country much, and I think it is related to not feeling secure or something.

But as far as the home robberies, I am guessing it is a similar situation in Mexicali as it is in Tijuana or other places, in that security seems to depend on the neighborhood and also sometimes the particular building or location?

For example, my understanding is that there are many unsafe neighborhoods in Tijuana where crime is somewhat common. I also would like to believe that Playas is not one of those neighborhoods. Especially this particular neighborhood, it is a tourism area near the boardwalk, and there are a lot of restaurants around and multiple police cars normally patrolling the street (although not every single hour of every day). Also my building has several apartments and I am on the top floor.

It doesn't really seem unsafe in this particular location. However, I can imagine a quiet street away from everything, and a house with a yard that was not too close to neighbors, would be slightly more attractive for burglary. There are a lot of big fences and big dogs even in Playas so there must be a reason.
> mattermost seems to list Uber as their client

Not directly related to mattermost and Uber, but companies tend to list clients even if the product is not widely used or was even dumped.

You are a small team in a big company, you evaluate a product and find that it satisfies some of your basic needs but want to work with it for a while, so you purchase a couple of licenses for you team but stop using it after a year or two.

voilà ! you are a client listed on their web site

Memristive dynamics: a heuristic optimization tool
Bemusing, though lumping all functional languages together makes me balk a bit. There’s a big difference between static and dynamic functional languages. Haskell and Ocaml have a different feel than lisps/Elixir/Erlang with the latter group being much more practical in state management imho.
There were some high profile failures but some things were pretty impressive, including Hugh Herr's bionic limbs, LEGO Mindstorms, the ideas in Sixth Sense, Ike Chuang and Neil Gershenfeld's quantum computing work.

Even OLPC was an extremely noble goal, and they did likely inspire others to create low-cost PCs including netbooks and Chromebooks.

Absolutely. I had the same experience with the first Moto G phones - reviews called it amazing quality for the price and had camera samples that were admittedly very nice. There was no way I could get a picture of my dog in that time, or even a group picture with at least one of my friends/family members being blurry - there's always movement with people, even if it's a bit, and youtube testers rarely account for that.
Any programmer worth their salt should be able to adapt to a new language when they start at a new project/company. Hiring processes that target people who know language X are just dumb, except for very short-term/time sensitive work.
Doesn’t it still converge in the L2 norm? (The L2 distance between two functions is the area trapped between them).
I think that's brilliant. I'm curious as to why it is not regarded as proper job. I don't think it's unique to Germany though. I think it is as honorable an occupation as any. And for the philosophical types it might actually be quite a good occupation as it may not be as taxing on the mind (apart from the time they spent thinking on their favorite subjects). That frees them up to study, research and write in their spare time. Secondly I'm curious as to why they tend to be left leaning...

> OOP is a major con of C++

Not sure what exactly you mean by this, but many people use classes and objects all the time in C++, and see it as a pro rather than a con.
For me, the UI looks perfectly right, thank you. I will try running it for a week and see how it goes.
Even if the whole population came out, so what? You do not believe a population can be radicalized?

You conveniently forget that also in the Basic Law is a signed written promise to legislate a national security law, i.e. Article 23. Rejecting that means the die has been cast to forego reasoned compromise and go down the road of political confrontation. Then it becomes a power game that HK will lose every time, dragging the prospects of political liberalization in the mainland down with it.
Back in my high school days myself and a few of my classmates used to play OGame - a poor man's 4X space MMO in a browser, or more accurately, a glorified rock-paper-scissors with a ton of timers (previously we also played AstroWars, which was the same, but simpler - the HN vs Reddit UX way of simpler).

Since construction, research and fleet navigation were all "click, wait 30 minutes to couple hours for completion", every break we'd rush down to the computer room to log in and manage our space empires. We were also playing during computer lessons, and of course at home. The game was extremely addictive but also grindy; it was fun primarily because we could talk about it together and compete against each other.

Now to my point. That was all before the iPhone, and it was already significantly affecting our school and after-school life[0]. I can imagine how much worse it would have been if we had Internet-connected smartphones with OGame on it, and if the game would send us push notifications about finished timers. This is, however, the reality today's high schoolers find themselves in. I wonder how disruptive timer-based games are to their education.

--

[0] - At that time, we though it cool that our friend from one class up had once stayed up to 02:00 AM just to log in to AstroWars and send his fleet somewhere. Subsequently, many of our nights were disrupted by very late or very early actions in AW/OG.

"C ... statically typed"

C is just an assembler with macros, so I think this is a bold statement...

"Haskell and every other functional-oriented programming language in its class, such as elixir, erlang, most lisps, even if they resent being lumped together"

The set of problems I would try to solve in Haskell and the set of problems I would try to solve in Erlang are disjunct. And its not just about the language, it is the whole ecosystem around it.

> Rust just ignoring it is a good thing?

Rust tries to give you zero-cost abstractions where possible. Overflow checks aren't zero-cost, therefore they're disabled in release mode. Otherwise when safety can be done at zero-cost (at runtime) Rust will usually do that.

I agree with you though that the exception might have helped in many other situations, especially if a simulation catches it early on. I would still say from gut feeling that ADA makes the safer decision on average.

I have tinkered with dozens of languages, yet, when I can choose a programming language and money is on the line, I always ask the following questions:

- Does it have a standard and a good track record for backwards compatibility?

- Is it memory safe? (Bound checking, no pointer arithmetic, etc.)

- Does the runtime have automatic memory management in the form of a tracing GC? How tweakable is it?

- Does it have kernel thread support?

- Does it have a centralized package repository?

- If typed, will the type system assist me in defining the business domain? Does it have type inference?

- If dynamic, will the development experience allow me to experiment, inspect and redefine stuff at runtime?

- Can I distribute my programs as a binary or dump everything onto an image?

- Can I go low level when it matters? How's the FFI experience and overhead?

- Does it run on the major operating systems?

Things I don't care about: Syntax, static vs dynamic typing / OOP vs FP religious wars, community size or "niceness", library count, logos, on-boarding experience aka the possibility of hiring cheap juniors.

Cute mascots are nice though. We need more of that.
As other replies have said, with a high user count, they've likely negotiated that per head figure WAY down.

But even if they didn't, it's not as simple either as "can those engineers clone this software for less than X", it's whether they can afford to take the opportunity cost of not having engineers work on something core to Uber's business.

This is just rubbish. Fair chance the author wrote this with the help of C++ (your OS or browser maybe?). And I enjoy C++ and it's eco system as well, compared to other languages. So that makes me a bad programmer? I'm surprised people are taking this post serious.

The thing is, they didn't need to have a whistleblower to find out that the boxes couldn't control variables like the levels of carbon dioxide - they just had to read the latest paper published using them: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal... Apparently that level of control is planned for their currently-in-development larger scale facility. Also, I don't think the quotes about controlling those things even apply to the Personal Food Computer specifically - after reading the linked articles they're either forward-looking claims about the whole research that predate the PFC, or specifically refer to to the larger-scale equipment.

On top of that, the headline claim that the "personal food computer" "simply doesn't work" seems to be outright untrue. I had a look and the designs seem to be pretty widely replicated and tested - everything from an MIT-supplied version of the latest design in a New York museum operated by unaffiliated volunteers to a homebrew version of an old foam-based design built from scratch by a Baltimore school using material from Lowes. Some versions do seem to be a little temperamental on the electronics side, to the point members of the team have advised people not to built v2 on the forum, but they do work and grow things. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the photoshoots and static displays were faked, though; turnaround time for a real grow is at least a month.

That "study" in that article is hilarious. The author observed people in Airports, Subways, Cafes etc. and whenever someone was using a Smartphone, he took notes (so it is more of an observation that a study). This is biased in so many ways.He went to places where people usually have to kill time, and do so with their smartphone. He didn't observe all those people that had a smartphone in their pocket passing by, going for their day. I don't use my smartphone to kill time, and I restrict myself from using it when not necessary. Yes, it is a tool, I need it to check the bus schedule, buy a ticket etc. And thats it, and thats why I would be totally fine with a 5" display.

Parent is right. The Laplace transform is a generalization of Fourier's. There are two types of Laplace tranforms, the two-sided and the one-sided. The two-sided is defined in all of R.
The s variable is a complex frequency in the form s = σ + jw. Setting σ = 0 in yields the Fourier tranform. The single-sided LT transform is equivalent to the one-sided if the signal is causal. A causal signal f(t) is zero for all t < 0. All of the signals in the real world are causal. This is convenient as the exponential e^(-st) = e^(-(σ + jw)t) gets really big for values of σ close to minus infinity something the renders the whole integral non convergent. We can avoid that if we make sure the signal is causal.

> Isn't creating an addictively fun game the goal?

Addictively fun, yes. That is, the addiction is supposed to come from the fun you're having. Contrast that with the games criticized in the article - they have some fun aspects as a cover, but they're optimized for pure addictiveness through psychological trickery - which, as the article notes, often involves making them less fun.

The difference in the relationship between the two types of games and the player can be compared to a difference between wanting to be with someone because you love their personality and enjoy being together, vs. wanting to be with them because they're your heroin dealer.
