It could be me, but it seems fishy that no language took less code than wolfram langauge for any task. Either the language really is that much more concise than everything else, or the sample set got a but of special care through the decision of what counted as one of the "most popular and relevant languages."

I would feel better even if I saw something notoriously complex to program in that ended up being shorter, such as APL. At least then it would seem less of a PR piece.

GOOGLE: Here's The Ultimate Goal For Google Glass
Google has a problem in the form of two platforms: Chrome and Android. I believe they will merge. Android will be Web.

- MobileChromeApp[1] converts Chrome Apps into Android apps. Developed by Googlers.

- Web Components enable modular, re-usable code. Polymer[2] is backed by Google.

- AngularJS[3] is a modern UI framework for the Web and is backed by Google.

- Dart[4] is a new language, with tools and libraries, for scalable Web app engineering from Google.

- AngularDart[5] is Angular on Dart.

- ART[6] is a new Android runtime that leverages LLVM, opening the possibility of offering alternative front-ends for Android other than Java.

- Sundar Pichai runs both Chrome and Android.

- The rumored Hera project is supposed to marry Android to the Web.

Dart + Angular + Polymer + ART = new Android Development

My bet is that the future of Android is Dart, Polymer, and AngularDart.

The government is not asking permission, and you have no rights as far as privacy is concerned these days. None at all. You are automatically opted in. You may not opt out.

What exactly has Google ever done to you or anybody? The US Government sprayed black communities in St. Louis with radiation in the 1950s to see what would happen. Let's see you top that one example, and I've got a hundred more. What has Facebook done to you? The US Government has killed thousands of civilians around the world in the last decade via droning. The US Government invaded Iraq under false pretenses just so the military industrial complex could have a sandbox to play in. The US Government was responsible for allowing slavery for a century, preventing women from voting, and preventing blacks from voting. The US Government systematically killed off Native American tribes. The US Government killed hundreds of thousands in the illegal Vietnam war. The US Government used depleted uranium shells in the Gulf War, causing thousands to fall sick with Gulf War Syndrome; and then they tried to cover it all up and deny those vets treatment. The US Government has been committing coups in South America for decades. The US Government nuked Japan twice, all just to indirectly threaten Russia.

One thing that I've yet to see mentioned is inlining. Almost all the functions/lambdas passed to STL functions in the code are likely inlined. This gives a huge performance boost and is one of the few cases where C++ is often faster than even C as calls through function pointers can be eliminated.

Saw your response and I'd offer the following:
A) the advantages that automation bring to the markets impact every single trade there is. Even if we take a very tiny sample of people who need to rebalance their EFTs today. Each day it is a tremendous savings.
B) HFT is a tiny part of the finance industry, yet it has had a huge impact on the cost of trading, to the end result of trading being phenomenally cheaper than it has ever been.

Is that enough of an advantage to outweigh the cost of the small number of intelligent people in HFT? I don't know, but it certainly seems easier to justify than the phenomenal amount of capital spent on internet ads. I'm a bit of a free market capitalist, so my biased response is how else should we allocate people's output?

But in spite of those web interfaces, IRC usage is still dropping. Our feeling is that topic-based discussions need a fresh start.

I don't know either Ruby or Perl 5 well enough to be 100% sure of the following answers but my interest in P6 and its spec/test approach has led me to investigate the spec/test framework of several languages and their ecosystems.

> does Perl have anything like RubySpec?

TL;DR It depends on what you count as Perl and how one defines "anything like". I'd say the production Perl 5 (P5) approach is not like RubySpec and the Perl 6 (P6) approach may have been one of the inspirations for RubySpec.

----

The production P5 doesn't have a direct equivalent to RubySpec -- testing isn't tied to a specification document or part thereof.

There are around 50K unit tests for this year's production P5 interpreter, 5.20, and a half million for the core modules shipped with 5.20.

The bundled tests for each "distribution" uploaded to CPAN -- there are around 30K distributions, 100K+ modules, many with numerous versions -- is then automatically tested against various Perls (from the 5.0 of 1994 thru to the in development 5.21) on the various platforms Perl runs on. There have been about 50 million reports, each of which reports on a run of the unit tests for a single distribution on one version of Perl on one platform.

----

P6 has a written "spec". The spec is not "formal" in the normal formal mathematical sense of the word formal. (The same appears to be true for RubySpec.) We're not talking IBM formally verifying Z here!

The P6 spec inlines the "spectests" associated with that section/paragraph/sentence of the spec. About 35K so far.

So, aiui, if one squints a little, the Perl 6 spec/test approach is, perhaps very roughly speaking, equivalent to RubySpec/RSpec.

Aiui there are specific versions of RubySpec corresponding to specific versions of Ruby. (It looked like the latest RubySpec is 2.1, ie not covering the latest Ruby version. But that doesn't sound right. Perhaps I misunderstood what I've seen/read.)

The P6 spec, and its tests, aren't yet structured to serve for multiple versions. (Talk of dealing with this surfaced recently. And of course it's all git backed so spec versions can be correlated with spectest versions with Rakudo versions.) The spec and tests are in some cases years ahead of the latest Rakudo, the main P6 implementation, and in some cases behind. (The word "spec", in regard to the P6 spec, seems to mean both specification and speculation!)

----

P6 ecosystem testing is currently very ad hoc. But P6ers are in the process of integrating P6 distribution (module) management with CPAN, which will mean that user contributed P6 distributions/modules will get the same automated testing that I described above for P5.

----

Finally, to confuse everyone, there are not only multiple implementations of P5 and P6, but also a P5 re-implementation written in... P6.

Tobias Leich is developing "v5", a P5 compiler written in P6. (Well, for now it's written in NQP, a small subset of P6, but he has said he plans to switch to full P6 this year.) The test suite for v5 is a fork of the production P5 test suite.

Hope someone found this info interesting. :)

The most depressing thing for a parent to realise is that a lot of the factors that will determine whether or not their child is successful at attaining higher education are locked in place before the child is ever conceived.

That is - quite apart from genetic differences - your own education level, motivation, attitudes and various other influences are set by the time you become a parent. It's difficult and unlikely that you will change, and your child will begin to be influenced by their environment the moment they arrive. Probably your biggest choice of determinant is your partner, but even that is influenced by all the things already in place.

The only usable piece of information from these types of studies is that, if you didn't graduate, you're going to have to work very hard to assist your own children to graduate.

It might be the case that the techniques, etc. being taught to failing students were already known to the not-failing ones, so in that case, there would be diminishing returns to having the students who were already doing better do the same things. It is an interesting question though: should we be more concerned with having everyone reach some uniform level of performance, or is it worth investing more resources in the “best and brightest” students, even though they’re already ahead of everyone else? I think it’s important for public schools at the K–12 level to provide resources for above-average students, which shouldn’t be that difficult except for political questions like how to motivate schools to focus on this, and how to justify spending resources on students who are already going to pass the standardized tests.
I'd definitely argue that Police and Fire have natural monopolies. It's definitely more efficient for one agency to manage the entire police force for a city, rather than having multiple. Imagine having cops from 5 different services go out to one call, possibly mistaking the others for an armed civilian. You can see where that would lead, given how trigger happy some cops are already. Imagine 5 different fire trucks arriving at a scene. They wouldn't have enough space to do their job with all the others around them. Keeping track of the people at both of these scenes is also nearly impossible with several forces (and it's critical to know who's in the burning building or who's armed in a crime scene.)
Or why even include Catholics, as there's a significant minority of Protestants who consider them to be a false church engaging in polytheism - asking saints for intercession with God on their behalf looks a lot like praying to them from the outside.

> The ACT is taken by college aspiring high schoolers.

Not true, it's taken by a self-selecting minority of college-aspiring high schoolers. The SAT-taking population is far, far more representative than the ACT-taking population. In isolation, that actually makes an ACT percentile better than it would appear, but there are other effects around.

In 2005 22 was the 62nd percentile among ACT takers nationwide (21 was the 55th). Assuming ACT takers are mostly representative of the population, this girl is smarter than 55-62% of US high school students, roughly as smart as 0-7% of them, and dumber than the remaining 38%. For a college student, this is not an inspiring figure.

> If 22 is top 10% of her whole school, she had some sort of personal cleverness to overcome her near-completely unintellectual community.

No, the top 7% figure is for GPA. And you don't need to overcome anything to be at the top of a group that isn't competing for the position. For any group, there will always be a top 10%.
I like the idea, but another minor complaint: scrolling is painfully slow, at least in Firefox. Each movement of the mouse wheel only moves me a few pixels (it takes ~30 seconds of scrolling to go up a single screen), and other scrolling methods (cursor keys, page up/down, middle-click) don't seem to be supported.
More specifically, it is what Solr would look like if you designed it today but also did not care about dealing with all the use cases Solr deals with TODAY.

The best proof is that Elastic Search is slowly hitting the same problem Solr hit at some point in the past and has to deal with them (scripting is now disabled by default, analysis/query language is slowly getting more complex, etc).

Not trying to downgrade ElasticSearch, they have done great things and have features Solr hasn't matched (yet). Percolation is one (though check Luwak for a comparison: http://www.berlinbuzzwords.de/session/turning-search-upside-... )

IQ is correlated to wealth and IQ is hereditary, so it follows that children from wealthy parents would, on average, have higher IQ than their classmates.

Localization checklist
Question:

I know that the `:visited` exploit is handled by the browsers so that you can't figure out by javascript what is going on...

but what if you used just CSS to figure it out? For instance, what if you generated the CSS which had a unique image it requested via the `background-image` property, stored the data on the server, then just requested the data from the server after the fact?

Do the browsers prohibit the usage of url-based css properties on CSS selectors with `:visited` or something? Does anyone have a link/reference to how the exploits were patched up?

> Sure, and if you're going to do that, you might as well use protobufs which is going to be much faster/more lightweight.

If you're looking for fast, you're probably not looking at an interpreted language. Plus, there are faster protocols out there than protobufs, if speed is all you care about.

> It means the compiler can verify your types are correct and the runtime can verify your messages have all the fields they'll need.

Again, the OP was referring to using protobufs in Ruby. Type safety and the compiler are not high priorities when writing in Ruby.

> Sure, but if you do, you have to handle the version-management code at the application level, manually, where it's really easy to make mistakes.

That depends on your application's requirements - for most cases, Python/Ruby/Javascript make it very easy to add or deprecate fields in dictionaries/hashes without having to explicitly worry about versions. Just specifying default values when requesting a key. And since you can ignore hash pairs with even less effort, deprecating portions of an API are simple.

Protobuffers definitely has its place, I'm just not convinced that place is in dynamically typed languages like Python, Ruby or Javascript.

> Whatever you pay to your brokerage, you pay on top of the spread. The spread is what you pay to place a market order.

I agree with you for the case of a "buy and hold" investor buying or selling actual shares of stock (with the proviso that the overhead to such an investor is already pretty low since he doesn't execute many trades, so the gain to him from something like HFT decreasing the bid-ask spread is small). But as I noted, many, probably most, "buy and hold" investors hold mutual funds through 401k's, not individual stocks.

For example, I have a 401k. I don't place market orders. I rebalance my portfolio every so often, which, after a lot of intermediate steps, might result in some mutual fund manager placing a market order. But I don't see any of the direct costs associated with that, whether it's paying the spread or anything else. I only see the net overhead of the mutual fund as a whole. (And, as I noted, for a lot of 401k's, like mine, I don't even see that, because the 401k mutual funds are no-load.)
