I'm not as worried about paying for cap subsidies, which is basically what your 1 and 2 is about.

Keep in mind that still damages the free market for new services, though, because now they don't just have a technological barrier to entry, they have a purely financial/administrative one. I prefer the T-Mobile (music) model where they allow a whole class of services priority, but not on a corp-by-corp basis.

No. Swap or paging is unused RAM "saved for later" (to free up real RAM space). It is never accessed or modified directly from processes except to push it back into RAM when a process requests a memory region which has been paged.

If you were to do type inference across mutable reference assignments, you would have to do some semi unification. I don't think haskell does, even ML treats refs very strangely.
The other way around:

In 1995 I worked in a Dutch research institute where the file server was always almost out of disk space. Whenever some space freed up, my manager used to create something he called a 'balloon': a directory with 20 files of 5 MB each (which was huge back then).

If the disk was full and we needed space, he just removed one of those files and we could quickly write our files.
AC means you’re keeping heat out in the summer. A well-insulated house is cheaper to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. Traditional housing in warm climates focused on removing heat from homes but fans take take little energy to move lots of air so that's not a major issue in a modern home.

The real gains come from managing solar heat gain. A fairly small solar hot water heater can keep a well insulated house warm in most of the world, other options include things like a solar porch etc. External shade can also drasticaly reduce heat gain in the summer.

Pushing past that and using things like ground source heating can also work, but they rarely pay off.
Microsoft found themselves unable to improve the C# language using a compiler written in a lower level language like C/C++ so they've rewritten it in C# to allow further language development and to support more sophisticated language features.

It also has the benefit of the team implementing the language actually dogfooding it, causing natural evolutionary improvements.

I suspect Google is doing this with go for the same reasons.

Thank you for the apt metaphor. I often struggle with explaining how I feel about this but you nailed it.

We spend too much time getting these tiny pieces to connect correctly, and more often than not they're misaligned slightly or in ways we can't see yet (until it blows up). It's way too much micro for not enough macro. And there isn't even a way to "sketch" as I can with drawing - you know, loosely define the shape of something before starting to fill in with the details. I keep trying to think of a visual way to "sketch" a program so that it would at least mock-run at first, and then I could fill in the function definitions. I don't mean TDD.

If 1.4 is going to become the bootstrap toolset, that also suggests that 1.4 will essentially become "long-term supported", meaning that if new ports require fixes to the bootstrap toolset (even in the cross-compilation) scenario, hopefully they'll accept those changes upstream.
Some of what you said carries merit but it overall smacks of rash overgeneralizations. Most government actions start with good intentions at heart, but they are often gamed and manipulated to personal benefit by those capable of doing so.

Also, we can agree that much less should be spent on intelligence activities, but pouring money into driverless cars is a terrible example of what they "should" be spending money on.

Norway had a great response to their terror attack in 2011.

The country would "stand firm in defending our values" and the "open,

> Now they need to bring back the Ultrabay (so we can have 2 spindles (1 swappable) + M2 SSD in a 14" laptop) and get rid of non-removable batteries.

Perhaps in the T series, but those choices actually make sense in a thin-and-light laptop/Ultrabook. If you've ever looked inside one of those laptops, it becomes obvious why they don't have replaceable batteries: they put battery cells in every spare space, not in one encapsulated area.

I understand where you're coming from, and I agree with you, but we can't pretend that 1 second from 10,000 people is the even close to the same at 10,000 seconds from 1 person (or really anywhere in between).

The entire concept of "we saved 10 million hours of productivity by shaving 1.8 seconds off this process" is bunk. You saved 1.8 seconds of productivity n million times, which adds up to not a whole lot of extra productivity.

Put another way: Whether $APP takes 0.1 seconds or 1.9 seconds to do something does not at all change what time I'm leaving at the end of the day.
>At the end of the day, users are willing to pay, e.g., $15/month for Netflix, and don't care about who gets what part of that money. Fights over net neutrality and copyright are about how this $15 gets split up between: content creators, infrastructure providers, and user-facing websites.

This is incorrect, the actual fight is about killing Netflix as a business. The idea is to gradually force Netflix to raise their prices to a point where it no longer seems to be a cheap alternative to cable/satellite television.

The reason I usually use hex over rgb is because it's easier to snag the hex color from the Photoshop layout given to me. That, and if I'm not using alpha then I suppose I don't really care that much.

I have this Columbia Omniheat jacket: http://www.columbia.com/mens-heat-mode-ii-softshell-jacket--...

I live in the Chicago suburbs. The jacket is only good to about 32°F, and not good at all with cold winds.

I was hoping the reflective coating would help, but I don't notice it helping at all. Definitely no more than a 5% improvement.

My Carhartt jacket (1000 Denier Cordura Plus Nylon) is much better for wintertime.

It seems like stopping the outside wind from getting in does a lot more to help you stay warm than does reflecting your body heat.

But maybe put the lining inside the Carhartt jacket to get the best of both worlds?
I agree. I felt like this within my first month of working professionally in 2001 and ever since.

So the US is now "soft on terror"? This isn't what I recall happened after the attacks on the WTC on 9/11 or on the Murrah Building in OKC. In one of those cases, the US launched a "global war on teror" along with an invasion of a country thousands of miles from home.

The US can be blamed for making a lot of mistakes regarding terrorism, but I don't think being too gentle is one of them.
I would rather turn it around. You prove God exist.
Or maybe you have no idea. Consider how absurd it's gotten (http://www.thebaffler.com/salvos/of-flying-cars-and-the-decl...):

"My own knowledge comes from universities, both in the United States and Britain. In both countries, the last thirty years have seen a veritable explosion of the proportion of working hours spent on administrative tasks at the expense of pretty much everything else. In my own university, for instance, we have more administrators than faculty members, and the faculty members, too, are expected to spend at least as much time on administration as on teaching and research combined. The same is true, more or less, at universities worldwide.

"The growth of administrative work has directly resulted from introducing corporate management techniques. Invariably, these are justified as ways of increasing efficiency and introducing competition at every level. What they end up meaning in practice is that everyone winds up spending most of their time trying to sell things: grant proposals; book proposals; assessments of students’ jobs and grant applications; assessments of our colleagues; prospectuses for new interdisciplinary majors; institutes; conference workshops; universities themselves (which have now become brands to be marketed to prospective students or contributors); and so on."

It would be nice to have more details on that CFR+ approach. If you just do what the article claims (substitute averages with regret from recent iteration) you will end up with oscillating solutions which never reach the equilibrium (I just tried it with naive CFR implementation). There is surely more to that and it would be nice to see what.

As to the claim of "conquering". While there is no reason to not believe them let's see how they fare vs other near optimal AIs. There is a lot of scope for numerical mistakes when you are dealing with solutions that big and it may well be that they missed something along the way. Some other teams claimed they solved HU holdem some time ago (and without supercomputers). They compete in Alberta yearly championship every year so it will be easy to see how it goes for Cepheus.

All black persons look like monkeys, said a crazy fascist french politician.

By writing "All black persons look like monkeys", can I be qualified as a racist myself ?
My point is that the only to write about racism is also to define it, and to write the ideas it "defends". The same way, the only to draw about racism is to actually draw racism. The context is what makes the difference between a racist drawing something racist and someone drawing racism to criticize it. Forgetting, or missing or removing the context is exactly what extremists do.
I'm deeply troubled by the fact that you (or anyone) would so quickly consider to "agree to disagree" in such a sensitive and important issue, to be honest.

I would definitely agree that monkey part of the drawing is racist, but the context should be enough to convince you that the drawing itself is not. The drawing can be shocking, but that's a whole different issue that has nothing to do with the alleged racism of its author, only to do with the sensitivity of the reader (you and I, here).

"So, here is my answer to the question, “What do we owe the people who we do not hire?”

1. Information on where they stand.
2. An explanation of what they are doing wrong.
3. Help improving."

Nope! You don't owe them those things. Good for the author that they tried it and it worked out, but it's not a general rule.

Everything works smoother in lots of different parts of life if all parties understand the concept of a Clean No. Not "You can say No but then you still owe me such and such". Just "No." Anything beyond that is a gift.
> It's feature usage - or rather misusing it - that leads to "bad code".

I still don’t agree with this. There are features that invite misusing them, or pose a greater risk of being misused. For example, with operator overloading developers often leave out some cases, causing possible dangerous behaviour afterwards. Or goto, which has a very big risk of being misused (compare the possible useful cases against the many, many cases where it’s not).

These types of comments point to the problem which is a fundamental lack of trust between government and its citizens. Democracy, or any other type of government, cannot function if people do not have a basic trust in public institutions. Of course, government needs to earn that trust.
Some tips to optimize images in a gulp js workflow
The thing that’s annoying about the question is that it’s phrased in an inherently adversarial way, putting the answerer on the defensive, amping up the stress of an already stressful context and encouraging aggressive blustery responses.

I’m neither a startup founder nor a VC, but I’ve found that in similar contexts (dates, interviews, public debates, private arguments, etc.) this sometimes serves to score points with some external audience, but is almost never the most productive way to advance a conversation that both parties are trying to learn something from.

The goal of a VC isn’t to “win” in a contest against the founder here. The goal is for each side to learn what the other side has to offer and critically evaluate whether a deal makes sense, or whether there are other connections that can be made.

I’ve known a small handful of people who ask aggressive questions like this as a deliberate test to see what the other person will do and are then very savvy about parsing responses and seeing through anxiety/bravado/etc. But this is a very difficult skill to master, and such tests should be used carefully and sparingly.

Most of the people I know who ask this kind of question are just in it because they enjoy aggressive adversarial conversations, even when it’s not at all in their own interest.
The first time I got a front page link to my site on HN, it did this exact same thing, which prompted me to move away from Wordpress. Static HTML ever since.

But to comment on the article, I think this is a fantastic idea. I do wonder though how he found so many enthusiastic people. Maybe it's just a new era, but I have a hard time finding people who even want to do a 1 hour coding challenge. He got these folks who were willing to learn something, and build and spend DAYS on it? It's awesome but it seems unlikely these days.

Taking that kind of time to choose the right person, then helping the other people network with other APL folks... that just spreads good vibes all around. I would like to see the "care more" trend spread in our industry. Even now with a programmer shortage companies are still unicorn hunting and making people jump through stupid hoops for jobs.
As someone who spent a few weeks looking at how the JVM really works, interfaces and super classes are not a compiler constraint but a JVM one. Sure, you could l could probably generate a lot of bytecode to get around this constraint. Or rewrite the specification for the JVM, and the JVM, and the compiler.

Frameworks like OSGi offer great exetensions to the humble on interface as well.

Heh, you don't know me, and I don't have a fitness problem. I spent two months this year fighting and training muay thai in Bangkok.
