It does make it more complex since you now have another layer to deal with. I wouldn't roll by own JIT compiler though, otherwise it would definitely be a crap ton harder. Using something like libjit or llvm's JIT compiler are two good options.

It's nice having a normal, interpreted VM then building a JIT compiler later on for extra speed. A recent Rust project called `js.rs`[0] started out with a simple interpreter and swapped it for a JIT compiler using libjit.

The biggest difference being you now have to interface with the actual CPU and such.

Sadly, there's more in an FPGA than "just" a dumb lookup table for implementing logic functions. There's not much more reason to trust an FPGA than an Intel CPU.
if you're already writing in C, no. Just write some functions to convert those instructions into asm, and write an assembler (or use one of the many out there) to output them to bytes. Then use mprotect(), tadah!
Disregarding the price issue, one of my main takeaways from this is that it is another issue that completely wouldn't exist if we had a single payer system.

They said that the cost of treatment isn't really that out of line with other treatments insurance covers. The issue is that the payment is completely front loaded. Because of this, combined with the frequent changes of insurance in the U.S., you end up with one insurance company footing a giant bill for a customer who may end up switching providers in a year.
This is so bad. I fail to believe that the world will get out of the paradigm of social stratification in the next dozen years or so. Making computer programming a "trade" is basically putting computer programmers on the same social and intellectual level with locksmiths, plumbers you know the folk the this definition of trade:

<< An occupation, especially one requiring skilled labor; craft: the building trades, including carpentry, masonry, plumbing, and electrical installation. >>.

Perhaps i push the snob alarm in some but i do not mean it like this. The problem i am talking about is that we _should_ have higher education for being a programmer. The reason to skip it now is because their academic rhythm and notions are late and incomplete not because programming is not school worthy.

I really think that, at least for serious programmers and developers, this trade business is a bad thing.
Those aren't the real problems. The article is distracting from the real problem and now you are contributing to that.

The problem is that there is no plumbing and sewage in many areas and no resources to build it. There is no running water. The budget that the local government has is say 100 units. Installing a sewage system costs 1000 units. Installing running water for the whole village costs 3000 units. Its just not going to happen.

The problem is that resources are not being allocated fairly. One of the main things that sustains that lack of equality is racism. Racism is a huge problem, even here in this thread. It is often disguised as a disparagement for "lack of education" or "cultural issues" or "population".

These are not toilets like we think of toilets. These are porcelain Port-a-Potties. A very small septic tank directly underneath the toilet which has no water to clean it and must have the feces scraped out by hand.

Would you really consider that to be sanitary? To have a Port-A-Potty installed in your studio apartment? There is no running water in the house or neighborhood. There is no truck to come pick up the Port-A-Potty. Actually its buried in the ground. Someone is going to have to lean in and scrape the feces out.

Or, since there is 4 acre open field about 1/8 of a mile away which is often downwind, people who can walk should go take their shit over there, rather than leaving it in the house, where we will have to smell it all the time.

Yup, for RSS there are ways to implement this out of the box. I was thinking more about regular people who don't know or use RSS, people that publishers would like to retain over the course of reporting a developing story. How do you think this could be accomplished?

What if the restaurants/events/clubs "pitched" for that group? So if you had a decent sized group willing to spend and they were having a quiet night, they might offer you a free bottle of wine with dinner. A competing restaurant might offer 2-for-1 meals or a welcome drink.

In my work on improving performance of the Linux TCP stack (part of my involvement with HTCP) I never saw the congestion-control part in the performance monitoring. There are such long linked lists that one goes over that any small computation is lost in the noise, most of the time was spent reaching uncached memory lines.

Actually, there's some use case for these things:
you can simulate varargs, and yes the compilation time can be made arbitrary large:

Frankly speaking the problems with that of the lower caste are incomparable with those of Garbage picking personnel today. I'm not saying its an easy task, but there is an economic incentive attached to that today.

Garbage pickup in any Indian Metro today is contracted and billed at a reasonable price. There is also a huge incentive to collect stuff plastic, or broken stuff and sell it to recyclers. If I'm not wrong picking up industrial waste for a price is one of the most profitable businesses of the day. As far as I know 'Gujri'[Dump yards] millionaires exist in a city like Bangalore.

But its nothing like what the poor souls suffered in the past. Where they were condemned to do it, because they were thought to be born into it. Being denied the right to share the same space with other 'higher castes', not allowed to study, or even at times denied to walk on the same roads as higher castes did, or untouchability. Compare this to the situation today, where in a city like Bangalore the contractors just refuse to pick up the garbage when they are not paid, and your roads will just overflow with filth. This kind of at-will denial of service wouldn't have been imaginable to the lower castes in the past.
That's awesome. Monetization and incentivization will be a huge draw for the app.

I look forward to trying it out.
This is a totally different type of VM than VMWare makes.

This is what's called a process virtual machine, and they make application virtual machines (I think).

Basically, this acts as a small CPU-type-thing and interprets instructions. Theirs emulate whole operating systems.

I agree pit is a better option. We have a pit too. My home is at a lane dead end on an inclined road. And that turned out to be the only option we had.

The plus is having a home in such a place ensures you always get water, even if half the lane up the road doesn't get it.

What about this example?

f0 x = (x,x)
f1 x = f0 (f0 x)
f2 x = f1 (f1 x)
f3 x = f2 (f2 x)
f4 x = f3 (f3 x)

This is worse than O(c^n): the size of the last function's type is O(2^2^n).

(In spacemanaki's blog example, each new expression doubles the size of the previous one. Here, each new expression squares the size. f4 builds 2^2^4 = 65,536 copies of 'x', and f5 will crash your compiler if you define it).

I think he was pointing out the double-standard that's implicit in comments such as yours about "Big Pharma".

Basically, boiling down to "wanting money for profit" is greedy and evil/bad. But wanting "free money" or benefits/products is not, because well, it's not profit. Egh, don't think I articulated that quite nicely.

To me, the distinction is irrelevant. Wanting stuff is natural, whether your needs necessitate it or not.

There is no such thing as "the low-hanging fruit".

The year is 1982. Rodney Mullen just managed to perform the world's first "Ollie" skateboarding trick, that can be count as somewhat the start of the modern day street skateboarding.

What now is the most junior skateboarding trick (with available equipment, training etc.) was not a low-hanging fruit back then. While looking back, you can easily learn the trick by imitating; but back then there was no-one to learn it from. You had to go trial-and-error a sh*tload of times before making the first trick.

Of course it looks sooo low-hanging fruit now. With current equipment and support. But you have to realise that the tools and methods came afterwards, to support the original invention. But looking the time back then, you had none of the aids. Just you, climbing to that tall tree to grab the apple and plant the seeds so everyone else could grab the fruits from smaller trees.

Even if someone tries to decide what should be saved or what might be worth something, it's really hard to figure out what will be rare/unknown in the future -- if you can figure that out, you can probably make a fortune hoarding something like Beanie Babies to resell down the road.

I wrote pharma software for a few years focusing on small molecule drug discovery, and did academic research on structural based drug discovery of allosterics.

Different companies do it differently, but the customers I had went through a series of steps. I'll try to summarize them briefly here.

1. Target choice: Typically research focuses on a single "target". In small molecules, this is typically a protein that you want to activate somehow to change a biological pathway. For other sub-fields, such as biologics, "target" can mean other things.

2. Iteration / core choice: You start with a small organic molecule "core" that can be the backbone of your drug. Molecules with similar cores can "fit" into similar places, whereas active groups that branch off of the core affect their efficacy.

3. Screening / lead optimization: Pharma companies have libraries of chemical structures, their properties, and how they fit into certain proteins. The idea is to find a molecule with a core that will fit, and active groups that will make the drug 'plug' the active site of the protein. When doing drug discovery, there are all sorts properties you care about, ranging from pka to toxicity.
- For many drugs, there is experimental data that is available. For other drugs, experiments must be performed to obtain data. At this stage it basically becomes a data problem for the chemist. Lots of time looking at pivot tables of raw experiment data, 2d molecule structures, 3d structures, computational predictive results, etc. The idea is to to find holes in the data where potential molecules with the right core and active groups could have matching properties, etc.
- A lot of it is data based, but a lot of it is also intuitive.
- There are other sources of data other than assays (experiments). One of the most useful is X-Ray crystallography images, which are 3D images of molecules in active sites.

4. Discovery Candidate: At some point (hopefully) you reach the stage where you're pretty sure a drug has good properties. This is when you lock down the IP, not just by patenting that molecule, but all other molecules that are similar. Basically "putting it in a box" to start the more expensive animal / human testing.

5. POST-IND FDA approval process. You can read about this here [1], but basically this is where the expensive / time consuming fun begins. Animal tests, efficacy tests on humans, etc. This is pretty expensive but also well defined by the FDA

Note that I am far from an expert, some of the people I worked with had done this for decades and would probably correct me and / or point out steps I'm missing.

My point is that for an ambitious and talented person, public prosecution can become the first step on a long ladder to success in public service, which compensates for the lack of an immediate big paycheck at a private law firm. You could stop banging your head, look around you and count how many Presidents were Governors earlier and public prosecutors even earlier than that.
"Socializing research for major diseases seams like a no-brainer to me since the end goal is so well-defined."

It's not as well-defined as you'd think in all aspects. I suppose you've read some of the comments in this thread about R&D costs? Care to suggest how much this new government agency should get per year? Oh, and don't forget, if you don't give it enough funding, then you're an "evil bastard and you want people to die". And if you don't give them enough extra every year, then you're also an "evil bastard and want sick children to die".

I don't really mean to say you're an evil bastard or anything. But that is exactly the sort of arguments and public discourse that will crop up if such an agency were ever to be founded. And because "cost" or "profit" is not there anymore to temper the investment vs payout, the agency will end up being a funding black hole of guilt.

Sure, giving everyone access to health life is a noble ideal. But as I've said before, illness and death never end and we're fighting a losing game if we intend on beating it with public money. But who knows, maybe if we devote all of society's resources to the problem, we could eventually grant everyone healthy immortality. But we have no idea if/when that might happen.

Pharmasset lost a total of $325mm during those 13 years before their exit. Then Gilead spent an additional two years and an undisclosed sum bringing it to market.
funny, how do you think it works in 'socialist' countries? Pharma companies together with the government are giving pills for free? No, there's a national health insurance - a monopoly that is supposed to make rational decisions (in theory), but somehow ends up stuffing big pharma with taxpayer money. Exactly like those damn capitalists in the US
>The problem is that resources are not being allocated fairly. One of the main things that sustains that lack of equality is racism.

I see how lack of plumbing/sewage/running water is a major issue (thank you for adding that) but I was put off by you pulling the race card without substantiating it at all. Unless you can provide some evidence, racism does not seem to be the issue here -- lack of plumbing is the issue.
Ask HN: Why new user on HN starts with karma=1?
Since Hackernews is for hackers, it's quite strange, from my opinion, to start counting from "1". For example, in almost all popular programming languages, the first element in the array is not actually the first. If you want to work with this element in the array, you typically need to call element with number 0 (a[0]).
Are there any reason, why new user on HN have 1 karma after the registration? Is it a bonus for registration?
The binop stuff you can certainly use freely, the X macro stuff is quite well known so I guess that it's also fine to use. I certainly won't be claiming any copyright on the code I shared =)

You touch on an interesting concept, making a congestion algorithm which is fully tunable. Maybe then the job of calculating the optimal tunables could be moved out to a daemon which does Remy-like simulations to keep the algorithm in optimal state. Obviously we don't yet have the compute power to do that as effectively as Remy in real-time.

I wouldn't say unintentionally it is brought up every time I've seen them discussed. It seems pretty wilful. They always claim they are ok because Amazon has really good fraud detection and wish list purchases with fraudulent credit cards aren't held against the user with the wish list.

To me that sounds like a) holding your hands over your eyes to ignore the fraud and b) like a disaster waiting to happen for anyone that uses the site regularly and ends up with a few fraudulent purchases sent to them.

Imagine regularly having goods shipped to your house from stolen/fraudulent credit cards. I see someone having the police show up at their door due to this site by the end of the year.
Yep, "gulp" watches and recompiles my stylesheets, and "gulp build" minifies stylesheets and scripts. I don't need to use different markup[0] since my stylesheets are all one file by default (Sass/LESS imports vs manual concatenation), and I use wreq for script loading.

Apologies for the delay -- been a long day.

$200 per new account businesses might imply, in a card-not-required-upfront model, 2% conversion rates on $4 trials which have converted at 25% from $1 clicks. Or, in a card-required-upfront-model, 25% conversion rate from trial, $10+ clicks.

I re-endorse this math, with the elaboration that $10+ clicks was me being handwavy about $12.50.
I like libs more too.

Well, so the problem is that the "expensive to produce" part has already been done -- R&D, clinical trials, etc.

The incremental cost of actually producing a pill now is probably far, far, lower than $1000, but the pharma companies will want to sell the drug for as much as they think people will pay for it so that they'll have money to produce new drugs.
