It's bad enough even when you've got years of experience of debugging programs and you find an error that only reveals itself at the end of some long sequence of operations. For a language that's supposed to be targeted at the inexperienced, letting bogus results propagate is just cruel.

I'd definitely incline towards an immediate abort. But for processes that run overnight, presumably because they take a long time, who can say? If there's a 1 day turnaround time, and the results are so important that it absolutely must not stop, and yet inexperienced programmers are responsible for writing the code that runs... well, I'm not sure one thing is going to be a huge improvement over something else. It's probably going to end up a bit painful whatever you do.
Elbrus team worked on that architecture before collaboration with Sun - they can continue to improve it now. So it may have something new?
The amount of liquid in a coffee cup is, however, limited. Furthermore, steam is a lot more dangerous due to the heat freed in condensation. Furthermore, there's a pretty large difference between 134 °C and 90. Finally, I don't think the mechanics of destroying infectious agents is really a great analogy for the mechanics of skin burns: the speed of reactions indeed increases non-linearly, yet the energy increases linearly. The energy in a coffee cup isn't nearly enough to damage the entire body; therefore the amount of damage is likely linked to the amount of energy released. Not that I'm volunteering for an experiment, admittedly.

You mention the amount of time needed for serious burns to occur, yet that amount of time is huge compared to the time needed for water (or coffee) will flow away off or for people will to react. For her to remain exposed to the full load of coffee for around 12-15 seconds requires a pretty odd set of circumstances. For those burns to be large enough to be life-threatening normally requires a large surface area to be burnt, and that requires a large amount of coffee for a long time. (The 12-15 number is from wikipedia which says her lawyers produced evidence that this is the duration t 82 degrees celsius that "may produce third-degree burns").

Of course, there's the complicating factor here that she was quite old; at 79 she would not have been as resilient as younger person. And while that's a terrible shame, it's unreasonable to blame macdonalds for aging. Reading, she weighed just 47kg before her injury, which is low. I don't believe that a healthy person would have sustained her injuries.

It sounds implausible that she could have managed to sustain those kind of injuries given the circumstances - unless some other factors played a role (such as frailty due to aging). It's terrible she suffered as she did, but I still don't see how that could have been reasonably foreseen by macdonalds (and therefore the verdict seems unreasonable).

The point of the lawsuit isn't (just) about what happened to her, but critically also about the degree to which MacDonalds' was taking unreasonable risks. And as wikipedia points out, there have been many, many similar lawsuits, that apparently were not successful. (And note that coffee is still served at that temperature).
That would be one way to push the poor, the homeless and those who want privacy even further to the margins of society.
The multistrap script at https://gist.github.com/anonymous/50dfdfe99438e53c8e58 produces a 425mb Debian system including vim, Linux kernel, Apache, perl and Ruby. After bzip2 that's 115mb, which is about a second's worth of GigE.

But that's assuming you even need to transfer or copy the base image, which in a healthy setup it should be possible to avoid -- the majority of Linux distributions bundle very similar content, and amongst virtual machines of the same distribution, the base systems are almost identical. It wouldn't be difficult to create a differential transfer protocol and/or virtualized block device for this specific use case that minimized copies and transfers.

There is plenty of open source tech for this already. For example with LVM2 thin provisioning it's possible to clone and resize a VM image from 2GB to 40GB, ready for boot in under 2 seconds.. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/fdcbcc27278c287ce5e0
I am not a big fan of "immediate feedback" in coding (such as instant compilation). I find it distracting.

What I think I would appreciate more than "live" values of variables etc. would be integration of some statistics into IDE. For example, how often was this function called? What is the usual value of this parameter? What is the mean/modus value? What are the outliers? How often was this condition true? And so on.
The real question is, what is the interface you are virtualizing, and how do the characteristics of that interface influence the design of the OS you are building?

Hypervisors virtualize the hardware interface: the user-mode and privileged-mode instruction sets, the I/O ports and channels, the memory model. This is good because that interface is stable and well-understood, allows for a high degree of isolation between processes, and has a large number of applications (operating systems) already written to the interface ready to run on the hypervisor. This is bad because the interface is more low-level than one would like as an API for programmers, requiring another layer (the OS or at least kernel) to make it usable.

Microkernels, or kernels in general, provide a system-call interface that is made up by the OS designer. This is good and bad in a mirror image sort of way vs. the hypervisor. It is good because the interface is more suited to programmers, providing OS level services rather than presenting as bare metal. It is bad because the interface is less stable (evolving in software time rather than hardware time), less provably or practically isolating between processes, and has a smaller ecosystem of applications already written to that interface (perhaps zero if it's brand new).

It is useful to view kernels, microkernels, and hypervisors as points on a spectrum of virtualized interfaces. One can see hypervisors moving towards kernels with virtual additions to the hardware interface, such as paravirtualized I/O devices, special trap instructions to communicate with the hypervisor, and optimizations such as page sharing, snapshotting, and live motion.

Microkernels can also be viewed as moving to a smaller, cleaner system call interface on the spectrum, with greater stability and isolation between processes than a "big" kernel. But the issue of lack of applications written to the interface remains.

The ascent of Linux containers hits a sweet spot on this spectrum IMO. Linux containers virtualize the Linux system call interface, which has become relatively stable, certainly has a large body of applications written to it, and provides a "good enough" degree of isolation among its containers (which keeps improving).

IMO the ascent of Linux containers is on a hockey stick curve right now (due to Docker having simplified and standardized its interface and container format/management) and will overrun any debate like this between hypervisors and microkernels, for those of us not doing academic OS research. Virtual machines will not go away, but will be used more for their original purpose, to allow running completely different OSes on the same hardware, and to provide completely isolated OS instances, rather than as general purpose compute capabilities a la IaaS.
According to wikipedia, coffee is still served at that temperature - the temperature was not reduced as a result of the lawsuit.
> Doesn't sound good.

It's overblown hype. Kids should understand multiple algorithms for addition/subtraction/multiplication/division for the same reason that we teach CS undergrads multiple sorting algorithms.

The point isn't to be able to pound out a sorting algorithm on the spot, but that learning about sorting algorithms provides a good "prototype" of thinking about algorithms more generally. Ditto for mathematical operators.

The problem is that parents never really had a deep understanding of even basic arithmetic. It's a self-reproducing cycle, and the USA will continue to lag behind the rest of the developed world in mathematics if our primary standard is "how the past generation did things".

>What age groups are affected by Common Core?

K-12

> I wonder if this helps or hurts the homeschooling crowd.

Ostensibly helps, because more teaching aids/material will be available, and knowing several algorithms to achieve the same thing helps you understand the concept in a much deeper way.

Actually it doesn't matter, because home schoolers aren't obligated to follow CC standards, and are likely to treat anything CC-related as pure unadulterated evil without actually evaluating pedagogical evidence.

This is entirely hopeless - their development budget is 0.05% of that of Intel. So these will never leave drawing board to become usable product, and this is not a field rational to invest in - general purpose processors are olygopoly market with decades long learning curve worth too much. Even if someone puts hundreds of billions dollars and decades of time to become competitive, this will only diminish returns in the industry as whole so will be anyway bad investment: at best they could sink Intel into unprofitably small ROIs, and get similar ROIs themselves. So aside from pure politics ('Russia is the motherland of elephants') i see no purpose for anyone doing it.
I just started to work with Haskell seriously, and after some trouble I discovered exactly the same development approach as DerpDerpDerp. However since I am not yet experienced I wish I had an "observer" to print debug messages (I know that there is a debugger in EclipseFP but I prefer Emacs for performance reasons). With observer I mean a compiler pragma that lets me print Haskell values without violating the functional nature of the code.

By the way, you don't need to live without static typing in Lisp. Shen provides a powerful type-safe layer on top of Lisp.

The immediate feedback is useless by itself (according to the essay); what is useful is the ability to debug in real time.

What you want is some more advanced logging facility, which is completely possible (e.g. Graphs over time in playground); I don't think logging should be limited to just lines of text (an intern is working on log-driven relation graphs).

While this is half an answer to my post, I am incredibly put off by the tone and will not take a second look at your project.

Yes, I know what a modern type system is and what merits it has. I also know that TeX has it's own fixed point math. But I am not convinced by your product either and this is certainly not helping. I do also now know that one of the authors is incredibly snobbish about his product, which I have a strong aversion against. And this is where I'll stop.

I find nothing to disagree with in fasteo's reply other than to add you're going to live a long time (hopefully).

So say you're kinda frail at age 25, and everyone agrees you lose about half your muscle mass by age 75. Half of frail at 75 might be a very big problem. If you want to be healthy at age 75, in contrast to merely being alive, that would have certain implications for your goals at age 25, or 50, or 70 or whatever.

Or the TLDR is many (not all) of the health benefits of weight training show up later in life not in your youth.

Superficially, I never broke any bones in my 20s or 30s so weight training might be seen as a waste of time, but the "real" benefit of weight training is I'm much less likely to break a hip at 75. Better balance, better coordination, more muscle mass so I have to risk less, denser bones, stronger ligaments... Aside from not having a broken hip at 75, just in day to day life I'm likely to feel a heck of a lot better.

The idea of boosting national pride might be the end goal in mind. They don't need commercial success. If they want to convey the idea to the nation that we can design and build on par and maybe even better than the rest of the world. Just feeling good about yourself has benefits.

I guess it is purely political.

Russia wants to be independent from the US for computers, because they fear (rightfully) American chips to be bugged.

Having slow, expensive chips made in Russia is probably more interesting to certain agencies than fast and cheap American chips - or relying on typewriters :)
Yes. Bugging your own chips is cheaper than bugging Intel's.

I am not sure how is that going to scale for bigger programs. In simple cases, I can model behavior of the program in my head, in more complicated cases, without aggregation, there will be too much data to make sense of it anyway. I think the aggregation of the statistical data is the crucial thing here.

Anyway, good that someone is playing with this.
This would not be hopeless to the people who own the chip's design and production facilities, if the government also passes a law saying all government-related work must be done on computers with this specific chip installed. If the government can give a company a complete, enforceable monopoly, this would make at least some sense. Still, a total waste of resources.
nobody is telling you you "have" to write things that alienate men, and i guarantee that some of the overly "masculine/average" descriptions repel many men from these positions as well. if you feel you would be biased against women in your hiring process, you should probably remove yourself from said hiring process. if you don't like the ERE descriptions, that's cool, simply write better ones (i don't think ERE is the authority here) - the aim is to be more conscious of the difference language makes.

I don't know if Russia has the industry to mass produce it, but surely it has the skilled people to design it, and it may probably use foreign fabs for the remaining steps if necessary.

As for the software, with an established ISA, they may quickly leverage exising open source solutions. Of course, Windows and OSX support will be a problem (given that they are the major desktop players).

Suburbanization was promoted and enabled by federal loan programs which encouraged greenfield development, in distinction to urban housing development. The earliest of the federal housing loan programs were started in the 1930s, to remedy the failure of the banking system to provide stable long-term housing loans.

Note that the 1930s federal loan programs evaluated neighborhoods with racial delineations and evaluations. The federal "Home Owners Loan Corporation" initiated these neighborhood evaluations, and the policies were used by the later "Federal Housing Authority". In 1938, Congress established the "Federal National Mortgage Association". In 1944, Congress passed the "Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944" also known as the GI Bill, authorizing the Veterans' Administration to make low cost housing loans. All of these housing loan programs enabled the financing of suburban house building.

Quotation from the linked article:

"During the Great Depression, President Roosevelt had launched a federal agency called the Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC), meant to protect struggling homeowners from losing their homes. The HOLC later implemented a system of rating neighborhoods with letter grades to help more systematically discern property values. Later, the Federal Housing Authority continued to use those HOLC standards when issuing mortgages. As historian Jackson has written, “For perhaps the first time, the federal government embraced the discriminatory attitudes of the marketplace. Previously, prejudices were personalized and individualized; FHA exhorted segregation and enshrined it as public policy.”
Neat. Apart from the bright red color of the search field, it's great! I just started playing around a little with Clojure and having the docs right at your fingertips definitely helps.
I've bought into the AOP thing a couple times, and every time it has bitten me (or my coworkers) in the ass.

I fully admit that it may be too much power for mine (and colleagues) small brains, but has anyone ever actually seen AOP work, in practice?

It sometimes reduces coding efforts, but it is the living embodiment of the saying, "If you're as smart as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?"

It's just too much magic spread over too wide an area. I'd much rather have more explicit patterns being used that people can understand, find, reason about, and debug - code reuse is a means to an end, not the end itself.

Again, maybe I'm just not enlightened enough.

Also, if you put a lid on coffee (which you'd do when you want it to stay warm as when it's not necessarily for immediate consumption), it can stay hot quite a while.

Personally, I don't believe most people would have gotten third degree burns in a similar situation. Unfortunately, she was old (79), light (therefore likely frail; 47kg), and wore cotton (absorbent) sweatpants, and she must have kept them on for at least 12 seconds according to the evidence her own lawyers presented. Frankly, that's just a bunch of bad luck piled up. Most people would have stood up when the coffee spilled toward them, not sat in it for that long, and most people would have taken off at least partially the hot pants, thereby distributing the heat better, some people probably would have their pants off entirely by that point. (Wikipedia claims scalding rarely results in third-degree burns, let alone third degree burns on 6% of your body's surface area with a lot more second degree burn area).

Even at boiling point you need a number of circumstances to get this kind of injury. It takes quite a while, and needs to affect a large surface area, and needs to somehow be retained near the skin. That's just not all that likely to happen; and when it does, being old and light make recovery slower and less likely. She simply had the worst circumstances on all fronts.
A niche product operates under a different definition of "competitive". They seem to be going for trusted computing, with a focus on security, which isn't exactly something Intel CPUs are known for.

In addition, more CPU choices will always mean more flexibility for hardware startups. Just think about how hard it is to source a CPU in sufficient quantities. A hungry manufacturer eager to gobble up market share from others might be more willing to accommodate a startup's needs.
"has shifted to bestow greater and greater rewards on the well-educated."

I'm old enough to have seen that the lifestyle and quality of living for the average college grad has decreased quite a bit over than interval, its just decreased MUCH further for non college grads, who are generally now found only in the trades, unemployed, manual labor, or are special and unusual anecdotal snowflakes. The numbers are of course better because we reward numbers. I'm writing about actual lifestyle and quality of life.

Inherently there's no reason why credentials result in better bartenders, waiters, baristas, receptionists, file clerks, but it does make it somewhat more likely that a given individual will have any job at all.

This gives the article a different tinge. Much as the future is already here, just unevenly distributed, some cities for arbitrary reasons may simply be more or less decayed than others.

That city was in the FIRE business and is now rich, that city was in the automotive business, and isn't rich.

Your analogy stops short. There's no reason there can't be entrants besides "Sony Bread Co.". As long as the price is below market rates, there is an opportunity waiting to be seized, and someone will come along and seize it, at which point the cartel previously described will be forced to follow suit and pay full market value or lose all of their employees.

It could even be argued that the trust-busters in your analogy are really just anti-entrepreneurial and are attempting to close a rare market opportunity to protect the extant oligopoly. Many laws and regulations actually are written by the dominant powers in a field specifically to heighten the barrier to entry and prevent innovative new services from presenting a threat by burying them in paperwork and compliance expenses.
