Quicksort is a legitimate model though; there are objective answers about what is a quicksort and what isn't. Two people will never look at the same processor running the same algorithm and disagree about whether it's a quicksort or not (or if they do, they'll be able to localise that disagreement down to a more specific question like whether using the cache in a particular way qualifies as using extra memory). Whereas two people might look at the same processor running the same algorithm, agree about all the measurable facts and all of the lower-level definitions they were using, and still disagree about whether it was conscious.

> It's better to have a brand new VM that's slower and missing GC and a standard library.

I can understand a desire to build something new and better suited for a particular goal.

Didn't Java execution in the browser(loosely speaking) used to be a thing? I remember that causing security issues, and JVM/Java seems like a large enough thing that trying to mold it into something it isn't seems strange to me.

As for the missing GC, I mostly work with Rust so that doesn't really bother me, although I could see how it would be an issue with other languages. Also, I believe WASI mentioned in the article is the standard library.
Correct. We had to change the project name. Sorry for the confusion!

> [S]hort sleepers may actually have an edge over everyone else. Research is still early, but Fu has found that besides being more efficient at sleep, they tend to be more energetic and optimistic and have a higher tolerance for pain than people who need to spend more time in bed. They also tend to live longer.

And, here I am needing my 8±1 hours every night. Even needing half as much sleep alone would be a real edge. Tack on being naturally more optimistic and having a higher pain tolerance than others, and it starts sounding like a real superpower. Oh, and they live longer, too?

This is exciting research, but I can't help but feel either envious or inferior because of it. Yes, it's a personal failing. Sue me. :P

My real hope is that this research eventually benefits medicine somehow. Maybe they can put it in a bottle for the rest of us (unlikely!). Or, since lack of sleep is linked to so many conditions, including systemic inflammation, maybe we'll get some insight into what the relationship is between sleep and inflammation? Maybe a "sleep gene panel" will become a standard test and guide how we treat certain conditions? Who knows.

You can use TruffleSqueak for all languages supported by the GraalVM. Check out the demo videos at https://github.com/hpi-swa/trufflesqueak#demos.
What impresses me with this article is how accurately the lack of substance of its title represents the lack of substance of the article itself.

This is a shockingly empty title. And the article follows suit. Some languages are more verbose than others. Those that are more verbose often don't need to be, unless when they do, then they do. Bummer. And if you zoom in on some function call then you see that a one-liner is hiding more complexity too. Who would have thought!

Such an immense waste of time that I have honestly no clue why the author went to lengths to write this all down.

No such thing as consciousness? I can understand an idea that consciousness is somehow pervasive, along the lines of panpsychism - but that doesn't make it nonexistent. Or, in the other direction, consciousness can be binary and rare but not particularly special, if it emerges from a confluence of lesser phenomena - but then it does still exist, and we're arguing only over its value.

No, if you pull that code and "compile" it with xcode, it will run scripts that install malware on your machine. I assume once the malware is on your machine, it can infect other xcode projects on your machine.
Yes, you can load recent, 64-bit, stock Squeak or Cuis images. Pharo is not (yet) supported. The user interface should be identical. For the polyglot API to work, some additional image-side code [1] needs to be loaded in your image.

Nerves – Elixir Platform for IoT
That thread is hijacked by a Linux discussion. I had scroll to the near bottom for anything relevant.
I've made an iPhone app for testing open source libraries before you use them
The app includes collection of well-known and raising iOS libraries from GitHub. Each library has its own screen that shows you who's the author, short description and instruction on how to integrate the package using CocoaPods, Carthage or SPM. Also you can share the link with your colleagues in one tap. The collection of libraries in the app is constantly growing with every update. By the way, there's a humble little feature in the app: demo screens! Yes, you can test UI components before you add them to your own apps.

Nowadays, GitHub has thousands of libraries written in Swift. Networking, data, business logic, UI components. Some of them are good for your apps, some are useless waste of time. Usually, you spend your valueable time for adding the UI component from new library to your project just to check how it works. Very often you get frustrated with the quality and rollback your project's state. Instead of wasting time for that, we invented something new. You can check UI components from popular libraries in one app - Awesome Libs!

For 90% of libraries listed in the app you can use a demo screen. Usually it's very similar to demo app from the repository, but you don't spend minutes (or hours) to compile it with Xcode and install it on your device. Libraries that has demo screen are marked with Live Demo green badge.

AppStore link: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1525970272

When the app will get 100,000 paid downloads, I'll publish its source code on GitHub under the MIT license and will drop the price to zero.

If you want a promocode, leave a comment below. Share your thoughts please, this is important and helps to improve the app.

Thanks for attention!
Not every (stated) need is a business.

People want their desired destination to be safe, they don't want to go to a safe place in the desert. If all the world's travel bloggers combined can't serve people's frustrations then a little list app with "covid" in the name won't either. That's even if it could get approved on any app store and keep up with the changing medical advice.
Exams, being far, far from perfect /ARE/ more fair. Why? because it is the same exam for everyone. The person marking the exam has no information about the person who wrote the paper, not their name, not what they look like, not how rich they are, not how pretty they are, not what school they attend.

Whether or not you can achieve better outcomes or get a better indication of capability with other means, that total anonymity and an absolutely common hurdle is a kind of fair that is tough to match in assessment. It shouldn't be under-vauled. We should be sure that any alternative really is better.

"Metcalf & Eddy, a Massachusetts based firm with almost a century of experience in large scale water resources management, has proposed building two canals, the largest of which would be navigable for ocean going vessels. The cost for digging the U.S. section is estimated at $300 million, with the final pricetag for the completed canals approaching $3 billion. While this is indeed a considerable chunk of money, it is nonetheless a good bargain, considering the increased revenue in land and commerce taxes which local governments stand to gain."

Anything scalable can make use of performance improvements, so that means production applications with hundreds and thousands of concurrent users is a right example in my experience. Apart from better usability, performance enhancements results directly in greater capital-efficiency(server costs).
Opus Magnum gets my vote for "best introductory Zachtronics game" - very polished, simple concept, and you can almost always brute force problems rather than be super precise so there are no real "puzzle of death" moments where you just can't figure something out.

Many of the other games build to a level of difficulty that I find drives people away around the mid-point. There's some significant mental leap you need to make, or you need to cram things into an impossibly small space, etc. Opus Magnum is a lot more forgiving in that sense.
It's not that the charter says "you cannot be competitive with other media", it's that their charter doesn't say "you should be competitive with private media". The ABC and SBS exist to provide both information and entertainment with a specific focus -- not to try to be the most highly-rated channel in Australia. As a result, the ABC or SBS using the new powers under the proposed legislation wouldn't fall under their charter -- because the purpose of the legislation is to rectify an (alleged) power imbalance in the agreements between news companies and digital media.

On balance (reading my comment again), I should probably have phrased it as "it is not their duty to compete with privately-owned media" rather than "[it is] their duty not to".

It does work with Cuis, but not with Pharo. The reason for this is that TruffleSqueak makes some assumptions about the layout of certain objects (e.g. instances of Class). Those assumptions no longer hold on Pharo, as it derived from the specification. Also, Pharo heavily uses FFI, which is not properly supported yet. Support for Pharo is not a priority, but contributions are welcome.
There's a difference between giving special treatment and fully de-listing, kinda like what happened in Germany and Spain with Google News.

Yeah Fastlane supports the two. I haven't looked into the implementation yet, but I supposed that Fastlane is based on the existing Apple API, for example, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi for listing registered devices.

However, there are many other operations that Apple doesn't provide API for. For example, it would save me a lot of time if Apple provides an API to update provisioning profiles. I guess operations like these can only be automated with say Chrome Puppeteer.

For the "tedious" things that I need to do, usually they are outside the scope of Fastlane, and that's why I'm building a new thing
We don't know that anything experiences qualia, ourselves included, because the concept hasn't been rigorously defined - perhaps because it's not actually a valid concept at all.

There are different sleep stages. Some stages are more resting than others.
I think you you put your finger onto the right place: language.

Kids can learn one or multiple languages extremely fast, and they can do it without formal, strict or even intentional instruction... at a very young age.

There's obviously something different, and for this purpose superior, about a child's brain. There are probably a lot of more subtle examples, language is something that's easily comparable.

Naturally, that's interesting to study. There may be ways of replicating some of the child brain's abilities in adults. But for immediate and practical purposes, it makes sense to just take advantage of this window while it exists. Multilingual childcare seems like an awesome choice, for example.

We should also identify other aspects of learning that are like this, and create the environment for them to engage. I've heard that navigation skills are similar... very easy to develop at a young age... even down to a constant awareness of cardinal directions.

Not really following the logic wrt predictability. I mean, you run it on a microcontroller so yes things can be interrupted. Just like in C. And while allocation not being allowed in an interrupt handler can be annoying, it's also predictable once you know it. And no matter what language you use, you don't go wild in an interrupt handler on a microcontroller anyway.
You're a lucky b. :)

I'm really jealous of you. I need 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep. I would feel like a zombie if I got less than that. If I could only sleep 5-6 hours of sleep, I would do more things in my life: studying foreign languages, working on side projects, reading more books, etc.
I don't see how even a minimally-feeling self necessarily involves something immaterial. I'm convinced there isn't anything immaterial or magical about my brain being able to feel things. It's how the feeling self arises at all that is the question here.

It is that, but not just that. This behaviourist Skinnerian abstraction doesn't do it justice. It may be an epiphenomenon, but how it arises at all is the question of interest here.
I use Objective-See's free and open-source BlockBlock:

The WASM instruction set is a tiny fraction of the size and complexity of the JVM and CLR instruction sets. One of WASM's primary design goals was to be able to prove safety and soundness properties for the language spec from the very beginning, and they've accomplished that [1]. Subjectively, I'd also argue that it is a much cleaner and more regular instruction set compared to JVM/CLR.

Because it has a lower level of abstraction than JVM/CLR (which, for example, have a built-in notion of what an "object" is, and every other language that you compile to it must have its own semantics shoehorned into that), WASM was able to become a good target for C, C++, and Rust.

The ultimate promise of WASM is that (given the right bindings) you can bring any C/C++/Rust codebase into the browser. E.g. see their demo of Doom running in the browser, utilizing WebGL bindings.

Quoting from a Gartner analyst soils the article.

Whatever one says they do, what they actually always do is whatever the customer who spends the most money says. So the only meaningful information that ever comes out of Gartner is what the most money wants said.

For some people, that is useful information, just because it tells them which way to jump to stay in tune with the big money.
FYI, English "to vex" is actually from the Latin vēxāre, meaning "to disturb, agitate, or annoy." I find it believable that Commodus would say "Hoc me vexat. Tantum hoc me vexat."
I didn't say it was better, I said that the description wasn't correct. If we're going to criticise something, we should describe it accurately -- otherwise our opponents can simply say "they're being hysterical and don't know what they're talking about".

Heck, that's exactly what the ASD did when the vast majority of people were screaming about employees being individually targeted by the legislation (which wasn't accurate). Now, the ASD also did misrepresent the legislation too -- but now it's less obvious to the general public who is actually being sincere.

> I speak fluent french

It's unlikely to learn French fluently as a second language without 100% immersion.

The reasons are that there's a total of 14 verb tenses, gendered nouns, and a large amount of slang based on puns (mec = bf, etc.)

But more importantly, unless your French is perfect, native speakers in public will just stop you and tell you to use English.

What I tell Americans is to focus on Spanish, which is more useful and easier to immerse in, rather than waste time with French.

Source: Canadian, was bilingual.
Very few people can achieve fluency in 2 or 3 years.

Children do it naturally, given a right environment, and simultaneously for two or three languages.

That doesn't mean it's impossible. "Hard" is relative. But, children's brains quite clearly have abilities that are lost later on.
