That’s image retention, not burn in. It’s not permanent, though still very annoying.

Do you have the 2012 15" Retina MacBook Pro? Some of those (those with LG screens) were suffering horribly from image retention. I got the screen exchanged twice on mine. Now I luckily have the Samsung screen.

There are currently no known cases of image retention with this iMac. It looks as though they got the issue under control and this was really a first gen (large screen) retina tech problem. (Retina iPads were or maybe still are suffering from image retention, too, though, strangely, with my iPad 3 I care much less about that, for whatever reason. It’s also a bit more mild.)
"Lisp" is a family of languages and Clojure is one member of this family.
Just quickly doing the math in my head, it seems like the Mini costs roughly the same as a real Mac Mini. So, what's the advantage of going the DIY route? I presume the price gap grows on the higher end systems?
We're not to Minority Report yet, but we're laying the groundwork: collecting massive data-sets that will someday be used for Bayesian predictive algorithms to determine pre-crime.

While the current population would vehemently reject such a scheme, it's quite feasible that public perception will shift after a particularly shocking crime/terrorism incident which "could have been prevented".

What makes something "viral" anyway? Is it popularity, or the way it spreads, or something else?

From my perspective the show seems "viral" because I've been telling my friends about it, getting them hooked, and they go on to tell others.
Stop wasting my time...
What's 'real' about the 'real' Mac Mini that's not real about this one?

For one I would assume that since it's built up from separate parts you can upgrade it at will, something you can't really do with a 'real' Mac Mini.

Not yet. But when shared memory arrays become available in Javascript it will be useful. But take a look here:

So you can use it in a C programming course for SMP systems. OpenMP is supported for example.
You did compare them too much: comparing error handling idioms requires more spcific language knowledge than noting that Rust is designed to be used without a GC (all functionality works and is safe with no garbage collection), but Nim is not.
Lots of negativity in the previous discussion. Did the page used to be phrased in a combative way or something?
Excellent question!

One, as we know from Church-Turing equivalence, lambda and infinitely many other models of computing have the same expressive power. That doesn't mean they have the same practical utility, though.

Lambda in its Lisp incarnation is actually a rather poor substrate for something like a Lisp machine, I think, because it doesn't layer very well. You can define quite a simple Lisp model, but when you want to turn it into a practical Lisp, you don't add another layer - you grow hair on top of the existing layer. You grow a little hair, you get Scheme; you grow a lot of hair, you get Common Lisp.

I've never seen a lambda model (Qi/Shen perhaps a partial exception, but even there the underlying model is not very simple) that layers a complex language on a simple kernel. I think this is because lambda defines abstractions like symbol tables and function calls, which are user-level language features, in the computational model. The bells and whistles get mixed up with the nice clean math.

Another example is the fact that a modern OS should present itself to the programmer as a single-level store, meaning effectively an ACID programming language in which every event is a transaction. So, you're not constantly moving data across an impedance mismatch from transient to persistent storage, each having its own very different type system and data model.

But, if you're building persistently stored data structures designed to snapshot efficiently and remain maintainable, you really want your data model to be acyclic and not require GC. This goes in a very different direction from almost all the dynamic language work of the last 50 years.

Or, for instance, if your system is designed to work and play well in a network world, it really ought to be able to be good at sending typed data over the network. And validating it when it gets to the other side. Your type system ought to be able to do the same job as an XML DTD or JSON schema or whatever. Well... this wasn't exactly a design requirement when people designed, say, Haskell.

I could go on - there's a lot of stuff like this that is built the way it is because it made very good sense in the 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s. But the requirements really have changed, I think.
Now Olga gave to each soldier in her army a pigeon or a
sparrow, and ordered them to attach by thread to each
pigeon and sparrow a piece of sulfur bound with small
pieces of cloth. When night fell, Olga bade her soldiers
release the pigeons and the sparrows. So the birds flew
to their nests, the pigeons to the cotes, and the
sparrows under the eaves. The dove-cotes, the coops, the
porches, and the haymows were set on fire. There was not
a house that was not consumed, and it was impossible to
extinguish the flames, because all the houses caught on
fire at once.

...but no explanation for the spontaneous combustion of the cloth-bound sulfur.

Sounds like it was probably a closely-kept, obfuscated military secret like Greek Fire:

This article pops up every so often, so again I should emphasize that the concurrency story in Rust has changed greatly in the interim (and will continue to change as new approaches to concurrency are fleshed out in the stdlib).
Ah, I suppose you're right. I guess my brain automatically rejected the notion of "cures spine severing", so assumed it must be something different. Apologies to parent!
"More specifically, Urbit is a personal cloud computer. Right now, the cloud computers we use run OSes designed for minicomputers in the '70s. An ordinary user can no more drive a Linux box in the cloud than fly an A320. So she has to sit in coach class as a row in someone else's database. It's definitely air travel. It's not exactly flying."

I doubt very much that the average person wants to either fly their own airplane or manage their own cloud computers, no matter how simple you try to make either of them.
I agree. CSS is global, but that doesn't mean that it can't be managed. I think going down the road of having programmatically generated stylesheets is solving a relatively small problem with an extremely over-engineered solution. Soon enough, you can't actually develop without the use of dozens of different tools for generating source maps, transpiling, etc. In all honesty, any presentation that says "If I started with this, you would have written me off as crazy" is probably giving itself too much credit and is in fact based on crazy.

The whole "button in an overlay" section of the presentation shows just how mind-bending this becomes. In a sane universe, one simply needs to write `.overlay .button`. But of course, you can't do that with CSS that's referenceable from a single name (or where you're statically applying styles to an element rather than letting the CSS...well...cascade). I could see if the solution presented made me say "Oh, this is a much more intuitive way of styling a web application." It didn't. Instead, I read, "We have this crazy proprietary namespaced CSS system that has limitations that we can't work around without building an even crazier system on top of it," and thought to myself, "Well don't do that then."

So now you're at a point where everything is an inline style. Your browser's devtools are essentially useless because you can't see how the CSS cascades. What overrode what? God only knows, go look at the JavaScript.

Of the seven problems outlined at the beginning, I think few of them were really a problem to begin with. A codebase that 1. properly organizes its CSS into files with descriptive names and a sane directory structure 2. uses OOCSS or other best practices 3. is mindful of style bloat 4. has a sane DOM structure and 5. uses a preprocessor of some variety for variables does not suffer greatly from any one of those issues. I work on a codebase of >10^5 lines of CSS that minify+gzip down to 30kb. That's a single small JPEG worth of code.

I would be interested to see some of the alternative solutions that Facebook explored that don't dive straight into the Twilight Zone.

You mean like blaze in python?: http://blaze.pydata.org/docs/v_0_6_5/index.html
The interesting code for this example is:

c := a + b

There's no indication from that line of code what a and b are, a type system that doesn't do implicit conversions will tell you "error: adding string and int" and so the programmer can address the problem (e.g. maybe they meant to parse an integer from the string `a`, maybe they meant to format the integer `b` into a string).

Using literals is not a useful comparison because there is no confusion about types in that case.

While Apple's software quality has never been perfect, it certainly feels like it's been trending more negatively than positively in the past several years, since Tim Cook took over and Forstall [left / was kicked out].

My guess is that it's largely a sin of omission: Apple has such a strong drive to add features and keep pace with Android, that fewer resources are marshalled to do purely internal improvements (iOS 7/8 badly needs its Snow Leopard iteration). They've also been even more focused on hitting arbitrary release dates (as driven by events and new hardware) which is never a good formula for reliable softare.

500W is in the range of a mid-to-high-end PC with an overclocked CPU and GPU running at full load; I doubt a DVR would ever need that much processing power.
Id like to find someone reputable to build one for me. Any volunteers?
The synchronisation/set-up overheads are still fairly large (e.g. communicating with the GPU). I find it rather unlikely that e.g. a map over 20 elements will be faster in parallel.
I doubt very much that the average person wants to…fly their own airplane

I assume he means the much better support, much nicer case, higher resale value, etc.
On the bright side, I think that a good CI/CD process is really important, and not a lot of devs have a good understanding of that part of the product. They just write code and "throw it over the wall." I find that having working devops knowledge is an important aspect of understanding a complete product architecture.

On the other hand, is it possible you're doing something wrong on the front end that they are trying to get you out of that area? Maybe they find you are a valuable contributor, just not where you want to be?

I think you should just have a candid discussion with your manager. If they can't accommodate you, it's a pretty good job market out there. Maybe you've just had some bad luck.

I'm not american, so I was merely speculating.

in the UK we consider white people to be indiginous (even if there are british citizens who are from different descents who are equal to me in every way).

regardless, there is a certain set of areas where white people simply do not live, and they are almost entirely inhabited by Indians or British with indian descent.

(fun fact: on forms they have a "British Indian" check-box)

race doesn't matter, but they're culturally different and I was suggesting that it might explain why they'd be willing to accept lower standards of living for some money saved (which is the case in the UK)

Please stop implying I'm racist because I used the colloquial term "Americans" to mean "white people" who have out-bred and/or killed the native populace.
I don't quite understand how it works. My guess is that it doesn't actually perform any test itself, you're the one that is deciding whether the refresh rate is actually 60Hz. The big green "VALID" doesn't say you're monitor is at 60Hz, but that it is drawing at 60Hz to the frame buffer, and you can now observe the motions to decide for yourself whether it is smooth enough that the refresh is running at 60Hz?
Bankruptcy isn't "sour grapes", it is the expected result when Apple's concessions were insufficient to extricate the company from its troubles. From the reading of this article, it appears that Apple's terms boxed this much-smaller company in, leaving them with insufficient margin for error. This sentence is particularly telling: "Apple chose the facility, negotiated all the contracts to design and build it, and GT had no direct contact with the Apple subcontractors." Perhaps such a contract should never have been agreed to, but it is an example of heavy-handedness by the stronger partner in the relationship.

My android reported that this website infected it with a virus. This part of the show?
I was one of the developers of Huffington Post's homegrown comment system before the decision was made to shut it down early this year. It was a decision that wasn't taken lightly, as "social news" was how the site began (rather presciently), and there was still a very real online community for whom our comments section was really meaningful.

We looked at many ways to preserve it, such as real names, interface innovations, better algorithms for surfacing the best comments, personalization features, and so forth. At the end of the day, it just didn't make business sense to keep it going. Along with all of the positive discussion that went on in the forums, there was also a lot of negativity that frankly didn't jive with the editorial voice of the site. And it's surprisingly expensive it is to run a homegrown comment system of that size.

It was sad to see the comments go, as an avid commenter myself and as someone who had put a lot of energy into developing the software. But I came to realize that there's no fundamental logical reason a company that specializes in content production should also provide a forum for commentary. This is especially so with the rise of social networks and news aggregators. Maybe one day, a content producer will find a way to make comments a part of their core business, but until then, a lot of firms are coming to the same conclusion.
Actually a recipe can be copyrighted for it's content as well as patented.
Pharmaceuticals do it all the time, the biggest problem of copying a drug is not breaking what its made off but how is it made which is exactly what a recipe is.

You can run skittles, coke, or Viagra trough a mass-spec and get exactly what they are made off but it won't get you any closer to understanding how to make them.
Pharmaceuticals patents as well as patents in other industries like cosmetics and the food industry are all about the "recipe".

As far as API goes it's slightly more tricky but it's also something that needs to be thought off as they allow your competition to replicate functionality and directly take business from you by being compatible to every business partner you currently have.

Take for example the S3 API there are 100's of "Cloud Management Solutions" now that take advantage of the S3 API, as well as 1000's of developers already familiar with it's syntax and function. Now you want to set up your own cloud computing provider so you replicate the API for your own systems, under the hood they might be completely different but as far as integration goes they are identical.
While some might say well you can't copyright expressions and syntax others might say Amazon invested millions in developing their API, perfecting it's interoperability, investing money in partners and early adopters to get tools out there and get it to catch now you are coming and reaping all the benefits without investing anything whilst stealing potential costumers from Amazon.

API need to be open to survive, however as things go there should be a way for companies to control how and who implements them especially on the server side.
Technically true, but I don't think it makes sense to consider Clojure to be the same thing as Lisp in the context of ternaryoperator's statement (though I obviously can't speak for him). Notably, Clojure's tight integration with Java is the primary reason for its relative popularity, and what most sets it apart from the rest of the Lisp family. It is disingenuous to claim Clojure means Lisp has gone mainstream when the popularity of Clojure is not due to its inclusion in the Lisp family.

Beyond that, I'm not quite sure Clojure counts as "mainstream" yet. According to the TIOBE Index, it doesn't even rank in the top 50 languages. Heck, the top 20 includes R, and Dart, neither of which I would call "mainstream" (I'm actually really surprised at how high R is ranking). I don't know how significant that is, though the TIOBE Index is measuring "number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses, and third party vendors" and that seems like a reasonable approximation for "mainstream" to me.
Portfolio aspect could be slightly better. I'd like to add links to open source projects of mine but it doesn't look like you support links with descriptions as portfolio items. An HTML import option would be nice as well. I know many people, myself included, that publish their resume as another HTML page somewhere on their domain. If you design the import editor just right you don't even have to do any extra magic to figure out the structure and you can simply ask the user to tag elements as education, experience, etc.

What's so easy about driving a car? Over 30,000 people die per year in the United States due to automobile accidents. And that's after requiring every driver get a license, and teaching basic driving skills as part of our high school system. Driving a car isn't all that easy, and we're terrible at it. There's a reason that Google is inventing self-driving cars, not personal airplanes.

And the amount of possible simplicity is constrained by the problem you're trying to solve -- you can't manage to make a plane as simple as driving a car, because the car only has to navigate in two dimensions while the plane has to navigate in three. If a car stops, the car's just sitting there, whereas if a plane stops gravity is going to pull you down in a likely to be fatal incident. You can't make a plane as simple to use as a car without changing it into something other than a plane.

We definitely plan on moving up to 64-bit once lower cost alternatives are released in to the channel. Right now AMD Opteron A57's run $2,999, so, they are not very cost effective.

OS choices are more limited in the ARM ecosystem, so we went for the two most popular choices (available) first: Ubuntu and Fedora.

I hate to break it to you, but it's quite real.
It's really hard to control these things remotely. If you use remote control you have to worry about latency, which can make recovering from bad situations impossible. And if you rely on auto-pilot you are testing both a vehicle and its autopilot at the same time. For a highly experimental vehicle this is extremely risky. The reason you need to test the vehicle is because you don't know 100% for sure what it's going to do. And if you don't know, how can you design an autopilot that brings it back every time.

Consider what happened with SS1 when it started rolling uncontrollably:
http://gfycat.com/GargantuanRecentJackrabbit
can you imagine an autopilot that would properly handle this situation? Good thing they had Mike Melvill in there.
Not the OP, but I built one based on one of these guides 2 years ago. The only problem I have is that once in a while (1-2 a month) the sound doesn't work after resuming from sleep. I have to reboot to get it back.

Otherwise I don't have any issues. I'm running the latest Mavericks, could install updates etc.
And his point still stands. This is news.
Can someone experienced in both Rust and Go comment on how the two languages compare regarding concurrency? Is it more flexible having it in stdlib vs being baked into the language? I regard myself as fairly experienced in Go and find its concurrent primitives really straightforward to use. The whole goroutines-channels-select package feels like a very powerful and easy to use tool for concurrent code (though you can still shoot yourself in the foot).
> You don't think the average person would want to fly their own airplane if it were as easy as driving a car?

Most people don't enjoy driving. Presumably (for most people) flying would be just like driving - exciting, interesting, and liberating at first, but would eventually become a dull and boring chore.
From December 17, 1903 to present day, a large number of people have died while we were still trying to improve air travel for everyone. Their deaths were tragic, but their contribution to modern aviation and the betterment of our civilization as a result is incalculable.

Space travel will likely have a similar high price. The long-term survival of our species depends on the success of those who try regardless.
