I misunderstood. Instead of representing the set of sequences, I was assuming it was attempting to extract a general pattern from the inputs, which would be difficult, and non-deterministic.

> Android was ridiculed claiming it will never reach feature parity with iOS

Not really, Android was ridiculed for its severe lack of polish and poor performance. iOS lacked plenty of features, arguably Android 1.5 surpassed it in terms of a bullet list of features, the experience was just awful.

I saw your point just fine and my comment related to it directly. The part you're ignoring is the landscape surrounding those two events. There simply weren't established players in the smartphone market at the time that bothered innovating.

Currently, there are. That makes what FFOS is trying to achieve in their 1.0 and what Android was trying to achieve in their 1.0 completely different and nearly incomparable, which was my point.
how do you define competitive programming?

I'm 99% sure the answer is no, but I just want to make sure I know what you mean.
> Many developers working in the area of games or video and graphics decoding/encoding needs access to native-level instruction sets to get maximum performance.

> There's an entire ecosystem around supporting native apps in terms of tooling, debugging, libraries, etc. and FireFox OS seems to ignore all of that.

For tooling, Emscripten offers very close analogues to the native toolchain—you invoke emcc. Since what you write is C, you can use all the static analysis tools, such as clang's static analysis framework, that you're used to. Debugging is currently more difficult, it is true. For libraries, just compile them along with your app with Emscripten.
There's a difference between theory on a piece of paper the the reality of building something. In the real world unions will be all over a project like this. Up every crevice. So will environmental groups and other special interest groups. None of this is good for any major civil engineering project.

I asked a question in my post. Can you name any new major civil engineering project in the US in the last fifty years? Refurbishing an existing project does not count. I am talking about something major, say, a new conventional railroad.

The reality is that these kinds of projects are just-about impossible to realize given our political and, yes, labor framework. So, yes, unions are very relevant because it matters not if the physics of the project is brilliant and utterly peer reviewed. The various externalities I mentioned almost guarantee that it cannot built.

I'd love to be wrong.
No. Being great at competitive programming can't hurt you and if you manage to win some competition that might be an extra thing to list on your resume. But as a front-end engineer you're not likely going to have to figure out how to implement too many radically complex algorithms under intensive time pressure.

As a front-end engineer, the biggest thing that would help you is probably knowing enough about many of the common web technologies that you'll conceivably use and interact with so you'll be able to pick the easiest and simplest ways to solve problems. You also have to be good at confidently communicating with everybody from backend developers to designers to business guys and understand enough about what they're saying in order to advise them when one of their ideas wouldn't be a good idea to implement and have possible alternative solutions ready for them.

I think you are missing part of the results of Ericsson's research. He makes a very specific point to distinguish practice from deliberate practice. 10000 hours of practice is very different from 10000 hours of deliberate practice.

My interpretation of Ericsson's work is that natural talent can give certain individuals a head start in the beginning, but once you get into the domain of expertise, this head start at the beginning is very tiny and the effects of practice completely overpower it in comparison. However, I think in areas like sports - genetics do play more of a role. If you are less than 5 feet tall, you probably will not be an NBA point guard, even after 10000 hours of deliberate practice.

One of his papers for further reading:

From The Role of Deliberate Practice in the Acquisition of Expert Performance

"Consider three general types of activities, namely, work, play,and deliberate practice. Work includes public performance, competitions, services rendered for pay, and other activities directly motivated by external rewards. Play includes activities that have no explicit goal and that are inherently enjoyable. Deliberate practice includes activities that have been specially
designed to improve the current level of performance."

Yes, Ellison is a vulture circling the corpse. Also, it is true, Apple is doomed without a "god", their culture was built around that paradigm, now their god is dead, and unless they find another one, they are lost. That really is the situation, sorry.
I would argue that nominative subtyping is natural (basically sub-classing), since it matches our ability to assign arbitrary meaning and relationships to words, which is incredibly useful when having a conversation. Ya, maybe a set isn't exactly a bag, but close enough. Birds mostly fly, but penguins don't, we can deal with that.

But the main problem with subtyping, nominative or structural, is how it messes up Hindley-Damas-Milner style type inference. But that shouldn't be surprising that an FP theory for type inference wouldn't work well for OOP.
I have driven the I-5, but good point. And the diagrams that you'll find on p28-29 of the presentation suggest that the supports would definitely fit on the median.

> Deny them access to fast native apps on entry level hardware.

> I also wonder about the wisdom of taking low-end hardware, where every bit of efficiency at the software level matters, and shackling it by not allowing third-party native code.

This is what asm.js and OdinMonkey are for. You're right that forbidding developers from getting the control that native code buys you is a nonstarter, but asm.js gives you that control.
The bank doesnt report you. It is up to you to report yourself as receiving a gift. The entire US tax system works on self reporting and the fact that during audits if you have wilfully lied you will go to jail.

Palo Alto is different from Mountain View which is different from Atherton. Mountain View has WalMart and Costco and Google.

I feel much the same.

Even on OS X the potential of NeXTstep remains largely unrealized as most apps do not take advantage of the APIs in a way that allows leveraging heterogeneous apps into a conceived workflow.

As a result, a fantastic opportunity to create an environment that is composable in a consistent, homogeneous manner is wasted.

What is worse is that such an environment does not exist anywhere in computing.

The closest thing that exists to realizing an entirely composable or scriptable environment is emacs, and that environment has not incorporated progress in graphics into its ecosystem.

Consequently, the capacity to compose workflows that interact with graphics is not possible, leading to a reliance on console style UIs for the most part.

I think that GNUstep losing steam has less to do with people who care choosing OS X and more to do with Gnome and KDE having a head of steam already by the time GNUstep came about, a characteristic that has lead to many cases of used technology being a consequence of circumstance rather than merit.

I just want an entirely scriptable, composable computing environment anywhere, and it is maddening that such does not exist as everyone would benefit from such.

Currently users either have to remain attached to a UNIX CLI userspace that does have composability or only have that composability in a small subset of applications due to the lack of a uniform interface in which to do so.

What computers are best at is what is least accessible in computing presently, leading to people having to do automatable tasks manually.

It's a tragedy that such is the case after decades of examples of how to achieve that being partially implemented.

Computing has even regressed greatly in this regard in the past decade due to giving our generated data to gatekeepers, when the data was local machines at least then we could apply rules to the data to transform it according to the user's whims, such as filtering out noise in a RSS feed, automating archival of useful information etc.

Now users are entirely reliant on the gatekeepers allowing them to transform information, often which is neither possible or comes accompanied with distracting ads or other attention parasites.

I would gladly switch to an ecosystem that realized the vision NeXTstep et al. had so that managing complexity and transforming data did not entail abandoning solidly engineered GUI applications in the process, sadly this is another case where computing has been unsuccessful in achieving ambitious goals.
Sounds familiar; I used to use it on our II+, so I was rather bemused by all these people telling me they (II+) didn't have it.

I don't have access to my Apples at the moment, so can't check the details, but I'm now curious to know exactly what might have changed between various II+ - what did others gain that we were missing, or why did we have room for it when they didn't...
Well it's not just a matter of bathrooms.

Even on a commuter bus or plane, if someone has a medical emergency and needs to get off right now, the bus will pull over or the plane will land. In this design you'd have to just sit there, helpless, until the vehicle reaches its destination. Heck, even if you're a doctor in the next seat you wouldn't be able to get up and help your fellow passenger.
Ah the white knight. Please please I beg you be nice.
Interesting invention. For me, the main thing to learn from this is how much some people depend on artificial light during daylight hours (a reminder of how important hands-on experience is when hacking things to help others).
Your intentions changed, so of course you need to communicate that. In real programs (like the Haskell compiler), the programmers simply make the change they'd like to make at one point. The compiler then spits out a list of issues the change caused and provides a possible fix for each one. They continue the dialogue with the compiler by making the suggested fix, or by making one of their own devising. The end result is a program that's free of entire classes of stupid bugs.

Also, if you're just changing type mixtures, you probably just need to make the type more polymorphic. You rarely need to be very specific, and good type inference systems will automatically infer the most general type possible.
To those wondering if this is worth it, the method of using a trie-style regexp to optimize this type of word matching has been used in the Perl community for a while now and it does work well.

Starting with v5.10, if Perl encounters a regexp that is just a list of strings, it will even use trie-based matching automatically.

Prior to that, people have been using modules such as Regexp::Trie to build optimized regexps and noted increases in performance similar to the benchmark shown in the post.
Nothing he hasn't done before. Virgin Trains basically have a monopoly in the UK.
> With static typing, I need to declare a new mixed type for each mix, and keep each declaration up to date. That looks like a programming and maintenance nightmare to me for a non-trivial program.

Sounds like you're thinking of Java/C# level type systems here. Type inference is a powerful feature that allows you to just not specify types (except where the program is ambiguous) in most cases.

Your intentions changed, so of course you need to communicate that.

But in a dynamically typed language, I don't have to communicate anything; it all happens automatically.

The end result is a program that's free of entire classes of stupid bugs.

A good test suite achieves the same objective with a dynamically typed language. There are tradeoffs both ways; I'm not saying dynamic typing is always better. But I don't think static typing is always better either.

good type inference systems will automatically infer the most general type possible.

With dynamic typing, no inference is necessary at all.

This is pretty neat. One issue: I put a lot of info in my ps1, so I need more than two space tokens. They should regenerate as you pull them up. Also, I want different colors on different tokens. I also like my git branch to be a different color between master, staging, integration (or other feature branches). I use the ps1_set from RVM, but take out the ruby version.
The problem with the article is that they're obfuscating the fact that this does not produce light. It's basically a smarter way to poke a hole through your ceiling. It's not a device that converts energy into light.
Type inference is a powerful feature that allows you to just not specify types (except where the program is ambiguous) in most cases.

But type inference only works if there is some non-trivial base type shared by all the types I want to mix. Type inference can't figure out that None and a string are both valid return values for some function; I still have to declare a custom type that mixes them (like a Maybe in Haskell). Similarly for types declared in completely different packages that don't share any base types; they might be perfectly duck-type compatible, but how does the type inference system know that?
But.. there are assemblers/compilers... and available off-machine. Just pointing out an undiscovered opportunity.

* You can be proud of opposing the NSA and the MIC and other mechanisms of destruction without volunteering for a life of destitution.

* You're free to do whatever you want, but I don't think that embracing poverty is a good solution to the NSA or the MIC. Mass poverty means that the government controls everybody's means of survival (foodstamps, healthcare, etc) which equals total political control. I think that creating business solutions and voluntary organizations that oppose these things is a more viable path, and having money helps with that. Start up a secure email webservice. Startup a charity organization that can help bring relief and attention to innocent civilians being bombed or harmed by governments.

* Your stance on capitalism being exploitative is a logical contradiction. A voluntary transaction can only occur in a market when both sides of a trade value what they are getting more than what they are giving up.

* What we have today as an economic system is not capitalism - governments dictate the winners and losers in the marketplace and those companies with the best lobbyists always win rather than the companies who create the most value for customers.

* You don't need to be a collared prole, to use your terminology. Software is all free and open source now. Start a business with some friends and live an alternative lifestyle to being a 9-5 corporate man. That's what a lot of people here currently do or are working towards.

* Not being poor doesn't automatically equate to financial vanity.
