Another advantage of working backwards is that it's more obvious that the abstract syntax can be designed before the concrete.

Given an abstract syntax, it's super-easy to create an unambiguous concrete one (it may be ugly and verbose, but can completely avoid the issues of operator precedence, shift-reduce conflicts, lookahead, ambiguity, top-down vs. bottom-up, etc. etc.). If concrete syntax turns out to be interesting, it's always possible to design a second one (for the same abstract syntax) that's much more usable, pretty, etc.

When the language is modified, the focus can be placed more on the abstract syntax, and less on concrete syntax.

The parsing/lexing part is the onyl part I've made direct use of in real projects. Everything else provided very important background knowledge that has occasionally proved useful, but little that applies to anything other than writing a compiler.
Yes, the "processing" refers to the name of a programming language / programming environment originally founded / created by people at the MIT Media Lab.

It is not referring to "processing" anything as a verb, but the name of the programming language outlined at https://www.processing.org

processing.js and this p5js are interpreters for the processing language built in javascript (so that people can write processing scripts in javascript).

You probably haven't heard of it in browser ui/development because it's not specific to the browser.

Many people use it to build interactive art environments both virtually and in the real world (tied to things like servos and light machines, etc) - and a lot of people use it to teach interactive graphics to kids or newcomers to programming.

So it's a totally different thing than what you are thinking of. It doesn't compete at all with any of the graphics libraries because it's for a different purpose.
I enjoyed Yosef Kreinin's take on this.

If ACA is a conservative solution, then I have a bridge to sell you.
That neither surprises nor outrages me. The purpose of a trial is to determine whether or not you broke the law, not why you broke the law. That can be relevant in your sentencing, but why you broke the law is not relevant as to whether you broke the law. That does not in any way make it a "show trial."

In an ideal world we might have stronger whistle-blower protections in the Espionage Act, but for the moment it works like most other laws: the reason you violated the law may mean the prosecutor decides not to pursue the case or mean you get a light sentence, but the trial is not about why you did it, but whether you did it.
Job-killing is a GOAL of technological innovation, and this is a good thing. In an ideal world this would free up our time to be spent doing things we as humans WANT to do. Technological improvements should decrease the price of good and services because less resources and efforts are required to provide them. Sadly, this is not what we have seen. Working hours go up, and so do the prices. Perhaps it is due to the nature of capitalism, something like Jevon's paradox or some other unexpected behaviour.

> Unless they believe the machine breaks some of the fundamental physics laws, the device must emit something.

I presume you're referring to the third law of motion, but if so, you've mischaracterized it. Nothing in the laws of motion state that engines must "emit" something. My car drives along quite efficiently without relying on any emission of mass. So does a sailboat.

Of course, these are still third-law compliant. My car exerts force against the earth (slowing it slightly), the sailboat takes energy from the wind.

To be third-law compliant, this alleged "reactionless" drive would need to apply force against something. But ejecting matter or energy to gain moment in the opposite direction is only one way to do that.

The biggest red flag about this is that there's no physical explanation. It's true that an explanation would imply some new physics. But it wouldn't be breaking the existing physical laws of motion, it would just be discovering some new thing to apply force against (virtual particles, or dark matter/energy, or whatever).
The current overly bureaucratic welfare systems are reactions on the idea that everyone is supposed to have a "job". If you don't have a job your job is to navigate the welfare system to "earn" your welfare income while you are "looking for a job that doesn't necessarily exist". The overly bureaucratic system also require more people to maintain it which means jobs are created through it, which ultimately is a good thing because more jobs is obviously a good thing in the western economies, right?
"copyright should be of short fixed terms"

Yes.

The purpose of US copyright is to "promote Science" (that is, written knowledge"), and to effect that by "securing for limited times to authors ... the exclusive right to their respective writings". Since Doyle was a British subject, he'd have been governed by UK statute and purpose, and I'm less familiar with British legal doctrine in this case. I do understand, though that UK copyright at the time his works were authored didn't extend to 2014 -- that was a subsequent extension.

Which means: at the time Doyle composed his works, the benefits he anticipated could not have extended to the present day. Even if they had, the economic present-value analysis shows that the benefit would have been minuscule.

The fact that the Doyle estate has been benefiting from his writings has no retroactive incentive encouraging his writing them in the first place.
Believing you can solve the concurrency problem[1] using functional programming as your tool-shaping method of choice is different from believing functional programming solves the concurrency problem.

That's an interesting article; thanks for sharing! I doubt it would have much of an impact on their decisions because of the limited scope of the offer:

"The offer applied to only a single MOOC, in computer science, and the credits might
be useful only to students who intended to finish their degrees at Global Campus."
Well, not to put a fine point on it, but Assange was already known as a bit of a dick.

I think the issue was, what was considered rape in Sweden was basically just being a misogynistic douche in other countries.

However, he would have known this well before going into the country, it's not like they created a new law just for him.

I doubt the US is so subtle as to use pirates. People seem to have these grand conspiracies about how the government is like a ninja...it's not.

They will simply send the police around and arrest him. Seriously, why are they going to bother with cloak and daggers for? This isn't a Bond movie. They will simply arrest him, and charge him with espionage charges since...err..that's sort of what he did?

I'd recommend you read "Hacking the Xbox" by Andy Huang, it's a free ebook that explains a lot of the basics of hardware hacking and reverse-engineering, and then goes on to demonstrate what he did on the Xbox. Very insightful and fascinating read.

Hmm. The closest I can find is this:

"Once I asked him to explain to me, so that I can understand it, why spin-1/2 particles obey Fermi-Dirac statistics. Gauging his audience perfectly, he said, "I'll prepare a freshman lecture on it." But a few days later he came to me and said: "You know, I couldn't do it. I couldn't reduce it to the freshman level. That means we really don't understand it." David L. Goodstein, "Richard P. Feynman, Teacher," Physics Today, volume 42, number 2, February 1989, p. 70-75, at p. 75

We Analysed The Homepages Of 20 Awesome Startups And Here Is What We Learnt
Sure, but I'm talking more about people that live in eg. Jersey Village, Champions, the Woodlands, Sugarland, etc. -- either they drive into the entertainment districts (because cabs won't come get them / drop them off) or they go to their local bars by car (because there are no cabs out there). I don't know if Uber will change this.
I kind of agree with the article, I did the Edinburgh course on Compiling Techniques and I remember the first coursework being using antler and convert something like tinyc to AST (or at least a very small subset of c). Most of this was just fiddling around with the grammar file until the output seemed sensible. The second part was writing an AST -> jvm bytecode compiler.
Going back to front may have been better, because we would have had more time for the 'hard' part (being during the quieter first half of the semester) as well as giving us a better understanding of how the AST should look, as we would have had to write/modify examples of the AST in order to get the backend working properly.
Just to be clear, because I think it's easy to forget this:

> If you are using a nuclear reactor, a small par of the mass of the atoms is transformed into energy and you put that energy in the photons

This applies equally to nuclear reactors and to AA batteries (like you mention earlier). All forms of energy have mass.
That would have been a good detail to include in the article.

I'm truly baffled at how people keep claiming that we don't understand how wings work when this obvious explanation is out there, one that any 8-year-old could give you, and it's absolutely right. "We don't understand how planes could fly upside down"---nonsense; it's the same way they flight right-side-up: by pushing the air down (or pulling, if you like).

The only problem with going backwards is that you are working from a drive-by spec at each step. You can tell students "this is the instruction set for the code you need to generate" and then "this is the intermediate language for the language you will parse."

None of the work is motivated concretely by the work of the prior step.

Fine if you are designing the representations for them, but I'm wondering how they would design an AST for a language they haven't seen or haven't thought about how to parse.

It would be an interesting experiment. If you were going to have them design the internal representations, you could have then move backward in a why that allows them to compile a family of languages. They could create something as general as the LLVM suite. :)

Exactly. Bending the rules of our own Constitution and detaining and torturing folks is no where near as bad as stationing some troops in a disputed zone.
People at Brown University simply cut the syntactic part away from compilation. They use s-exp and start working on semantics and compilation. IMO it is the best way. Syntax is an immense waste of time. The fun is in formal transformations, IR, tiles, register allocation and such.

Google to rank encrypted websites higher in search results
Well, you're comment made me aware I'd better restart my iceweasel session, I'd already upgraded from 29 to 31, but was running old code. And then I found out I'll probably have to reboot, as firefox/iceweasel tries to pull in nouveau-based drivers... and I'm running the binary-blob nvidia drivers.

So, still no webgl, but with any luck xorg will come up with accelerated 3d on next re-boot - and webgl will work too.

I do wish more hw companies would just release free and open drivers...

This particular rig is a hand-me-down -- next gpu will be radeon, among other things for their efforts to be a better driver-citizen than nvidia. Even if for a certain set of configurations, nvidia has delivered better actual hw performance under Linux, for certain fixed configurations.

I wouldn't have a problem either if all the far graver crimes/criminals that Snowden's leaks revealed would also be prosecuted with as rigorously but we know that's not going to happen. We're not talking about why or whether you broke the law, but about how much power you have within the system. If there's no surprise or outrage, that just means the nominal raison d'être of the founding fathers / US Constitution is so far dead that it doesn't matter anymore. Sadly, this is most likely the case.
Many compiler courses concentrate too much on the lexing and parsing parts of the front-end. I find it quite daunting and boring. Alternative solution can be to start the course from AST.
The idea is to have a floor on consequences, people make bad choices or are just plain unlucky. Think of basic welfare as a utility, to draw upon as and when you need it, hopefully temporarily as you get back on your feet. Eliminating choice is important, it solves the underlying issue (people dying) while removing opportunities to exploit (reselling food stamps).

Incentives to be productive don't go away, can you create something other people want? Art? Literature? Take a loan or find investors. Worst case scenario you end up back on welfare.

Welfare needs to be thought of as a cost, not an investment.

You.i TV – The UI Engine For TV Everywhere
Exactly. The point is to make it so that you can survive like that but you always have incentives to work, even a little. If you don't you will walk around in clothing that is obviously provided by the state (manufactures of clothing will work hard to make sure their clothing doesn't look like that), living a state area, eathing state food (may be pretty healthy, actually) - so everybody will know you belong on the bottom of society.

Yet nobody really suffers like they do today, nobody has to go hungry (this also helps those whoes parents aren't good with money, since they will still get food) nobody has to become homeless.
Thanks! I think it's pretty far from being something Zillow or Trulia worthy, but it was fun to build.

Alternatively, go work somewhere where software is a "front office" job, not a "back office" one. (But, as the article correctly notes, "90% of programming jobs are in creating Line of Business software.")

The irony, of course, is that the organizations in which you can freely call yourself a programmer instead of pitching yourself as having business skills also tend to be organizations where you need actual business skills. I know people working at software consulting shops and the like, and they don't have to pretend to have business skills for the benefit of any PHB. On the other hand, they have to have actual business skills, so they can keep bringing work in the door.
The point is that the industry effort to move to 64 bit, which consumed significant effort, and introduced (at the time) noticeable overhead in increased memory consumption and reduced cache efficiency was unnecessary.

There were solutions to all the problems encountered in 32 bit back in 2004 that could have been easily solved without doubling word size and creating the 32 / 64 split that means, at the least, all the Linux distros are shipping two versions of everything, for example. And the same thing is happening again, now.

> we make 64-bit processing cheap for everyone.

The business class that really has a practical use for >4GB per application already buys the extremely overpriced Xeon chips. Back in the day, those would have been Itanium, which were also 64 bit. There was a market for that technology in place before AMD64, and nothing about consumerizing 64 bit indicates it got cheaper - silicon is silicon, and the business world is big enough to easily support maintaining a technology end users don't need.
Thanks man! I've pushed a new version to npm that should have support for Linux and Windows now. I've tested in Ubuntu but let me know if you have any more issues.

TwitterAPI – A Minimal Yet Complete Python Wrapper
Corporations do alter the law to make criminals of people. As happened, say, to Aaron Swartz, who faced at least 10 felony counts, $1 million in fines, and 50 years in prison.[1] The laws he was indicted under were supported by various online, software, and publishing interests. Pursuit of criminal charges against Swartz was initiated by JSTOR and MIT.

The same law made violating a Website's TOU/TOS a felony -- which in the case of 17 Magazine meant that visiting its website if you were in fact 17 was a Federal crime.[2]

The reform to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act which would have closed the loopholes under which Aaron Swartz was blocked by Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle Corporation.[3]
