I think you're simplifying too much in order to make a point. And I've no doubt your point is valid in a lot of cases.

However, this idea of a template rendered on the server and then the same template on the client is often fraught with difficulties the more interactive your application gets.

It gets more complicated when you want to 'componetize' your javascript. A couple of years ago to do that I would have brought in something like backbone.

"I know!" I thought, "I'll switch my templating to mustache, which has a parser in both ruby and javascript. Then I'll have ruby render the page with mustache using a ruby hash. Subsquent AJAX updates then pull down JSON in the same shape and I'll have Backbone use that same mustache template to render it! That way I can send the HTML down from the server pre-rendered for speed and SEO and then progressively enhance!"

All great in theory, but then I had to build awareness into my components so that they could be instantiated without a pre-existing representation built by the server or attached to a pre-rendered version made in Ruby. (You don't want to only make a component that NEEDs a real DOM to be tested do you?)

So while I agree your advice is great for forms, I've found real world cases of highly interactive applications where it reaches its limits. And the proper progressive enhancement we need is only coming now thanks to efforts like this and isomorphic react applications.

Easily dismissed by pointing to the vast advances in scientific and artistic output over the last century. Unless you could show that the rate of output is slowing (which it isn't AFAIK) you're stuck with trying to argue that it would be even better if copyright law were abridged - a slippery pole argument, if you will. Courts typically eschew such hypothetical benefits in favor of rectifying measurable injuries.
In the case of node-webkit they give you access to both the Web platform and node APIs. That's possible because both projects use V8, so with a bit of twisting they can be relatively easily integrated into one. (Incidentally, this is why they're using io.js, the outdated V8 version in node made things more difficult)

If you wanted node-gecko you'd either need to fuse V8 to gecko or reimplement or create a wrapper around spidermonkey emulating the V8 API. That's a lot of work.

I think you you might just be blowing off some steam with your comment, but i found it interesing.

I found a quote on this:
American police need probable cause to make an arrest, but in the United Kingdom, officers can arrest on suspicion. Probable cause is defined as the belief that a crime was probably committed, and that the suspect was probably responsible. Reasonable suspicion means that a right-minded individual would have grounds to suspect that a crime had been committed and that the suspect might be responsible. To have probable cause, greater evidence is required.

Being arrested on suspicion in the U.K. isn’t so unpleasant as being arrested in the U.S. In fact, you’re likely to be released within hours without paying any bail.

GNU is awesome in the way that 'Citizen Kane' is awesome. It is awesome because of what it accomplished given the context in which it was created. The context has changed but GNU, by and large, has not. "Free Software" gave us BSD and Linux, but it is also partially responsible for the privacy issues of Google and Facebook (neither of which would be as competitive if they had to pay licensing fees to Microsoft and Oracle, and they give their services away in exchange for monetizing user data), Heartbleed and similar bugs (these projects are not properly funded for security audits and/or maintenance), and the expectation that one should work for free (if you don't have a job the first thing you do is start working on open source projects to show what you can do). Richard Stallman is arguing for the freedom of software, not people. Unless we change society such that its citizens will be provided for regardless of how they spend their afternoons open source needs a new business model. As software becomes more pervasive finding alternative models will become more urgent. And, it's already very urgent.

Actually there are quite a few organisms where stress intentionally causes mutations and this is advantageous so isn't bred out. So as long as you gate high mutation rate behind some trigger it is beneficial. If a population is dying due to too little water, for example, it is time to up the mutation rate and try to come up with something that can survive.

> I'd be willing to bet that there is a healthy species of bacteria that has stopped evolving, that perfectly copies its dna when it divides, and never transfers dna horizontally

There are several flaws in your argument: 1) There is no known polymerase that has a fidelity of 100%. There will always be some number of replication errors when DNA is synthesized. 2) There are lots of mutagens in the environment. UV light, mutagenic chemicals, hell, even radioactive decay of mostly-stable elements will occasionally hit a base and cause a mutation.

So, no, there is certainly no species that meets your criteria for non-evolving.

By far the best way to get a reliable used car is to buy a new car and take care of it for 5 years. Purchase price isn't much over the life of a car, if you keep the car 10+ years.

A gently used, inspected and certified Civic costs as much as a new. Efficient markets and transaction costs.
I hope this is the start of US bringing manufacturing back to the States. There needs to be a hardware alley in silicon valley, much like the hardware alley in Shenzhen. For one thing, China is still a communist government that is authoritarian and ignores environmental pollutions (to the world). It also ignores human rights, supports dictators in Africa, and props up totalitarian government in Russia. These are good reasons to not do business with China.
You're making the mistake of assuming that CV joints are 'customer inspectable', they are not, but the garage has it in their maintenance schedule (including scheduled replacements), so as long as you want the car to pass 'MOT' or whatever it is called or if it is still in scheduled maintenance with a dealer they'll be taken care of every so often and inspected at least once every year.

That doesn't mean you can't do it yourself, just that that is not usual.

That can be true, but if you're not getting a subsidized interest rate, the difference in interest you'll pay on a new car vs. a used car isn't big at all. Not enough to make up for depreciation.

This is also a good tip -- if you go into buying a new or used car with financing lined up, you can tell the dealer that, but tell them you'll go with them if they can give you a similar rate because you might get a better price.

The footer says that if you want a real "Javascript to Javascript interpreter", to see js.js[0], which is a JS interpreter written JS; where the satirical js2js is a JS-to-JS compiler, something different. If you want a real JS to JS compiler, see Google's "Closure Compiler"[1].

Some data:

The yield strength of that new material is from about 1 GPa to 1.4 GPa, vs. 830 MPa for Ti6Al4V (Steel and Aluminium vary, depending on the alloy).

It has a density of 6.82 g/cm3, vs 4.43 for the titanium alloy, 7.85 for ordinary steel or 2.70 for 6061 Aluminium.

Apparently Ti6Al4V costs around $20/kg, so the new alloy would cost around $2/kg, vs. around $2.70/kg for 6061 Aluminium or $0.85/kg for cold-rolled steel.

Prices:

http://www.metalprices.com/metal/aluminum/aluminum-6061-extr...
http://www.metalprices.com/metal/titanium/titanium-ingot-6al...

As for the modulus of elasticity, it isn't mentioned in the article. The usual figure for steel is 210 GPa. The titanium alloy is around 114 GPa, and 6061 Aluminium is 69 GPa.

The low density is fairly big new. Compared to mild steel, you can have a 15% larger volume for the same weight, so you might be ahead on stiffness even if the MoE is smaller.

The problem with the headlights is crash resistance.

Old(er) cars had plenty of space available in the engine room because the "air" was used to absorb impact in crash situations.

New materials/manufacturing processes allow for entire removal of "dead space", with more and more components for "luxury" stuff (luxury compared with an old car, like all-side radar, active parking assistants, multi-zone AC,...) squeezed in every cubic centimetre of the car.

And so, no more space is left for your hands when you try to replace a f...ing 4mm wide lamp. Unless you disassemble the container for the window washing fluid, unmount the brake fluid container and bend two multi-wires (Renault Laguna, right-front lamp assembly).

For TTS, compare further with Vocalware and CereProc

Vocalware https://www.vocalware.com/index/demo
CereProc https://www.cereproc.com/

It is getting increasingly difficult to pick one as the clear leader for "natural sounding". The results are good enough for voicing canned text, and certainly better enunciated than many thick-accented English speakers. Improvements through training can still be made in parsing the text.

For example, IBM Watson interprets "IT" as "it", in the following sentence.

Thank you for calling the IT department.

Vocalware and CereProc correctly parse that.

Who I would really like to hear opinions from are professional voice actors, though they would tend to be understandably leery to lend a hand to improve TTS. Is there a standardized form of writing text that communicates the kind of emphasis, placement of silence and warping of phonemes these actors use in their delivery to concisely convey emotion, that TTS products can adopt?
The need here is characterized as 'money'. And yes, at a reductionist level, that's the issue.

But perhaps what GPG and Koch really need is management and marketing, to build sustaining, recurring support for the project.

That would involve getting this sort of attention on a regular basis, and asking for financial support in ever-improving ways. Also, having enough structure that key people aren't tripped up by local tax and legal issues, and the project is well-prepared to survive the surprises and tragedies that eventually challenge every longstanding effort.

Sometimes, a precocious developer or development team, or even volunteer advocates in the community, can do this themselves. But also some people have no talent or appetite for self-promotion and support work. The proclivity for these tasks may even be negatively-correlated with the particular technical abilities required in some domains.

GPG doesn't just need a fish today. It needs a fisherman... or fisherwoman.

It's common practice in the game industry to license/pay for access to the source code. Whether you end up changing it or not is up to you, but at least you have a choice. This might not be true for Microsoft's "public" source code. I don't know. It looks like we're talking about two very different domains.

The Unreal Engine is an example for this kind of business model on a large scale. KoboldTouch (used to be?) an example for the same on a very, very small scale (less than 5 people). I really don't see anything "obnoxious" about it.

One problem with that strategy is it forces you to use a licence with some sort of restriction (like copyleft) to make dual-licensing useful. You can of course dual-license a BSD or MIT licensed project but no one would use the "dual" part of the dual-license since the copyfree license allows them to do everything they need.

If you do this, the problem with dual-licensing a copyleft project is as follows:

-The copyleft license allows use in other projects with the same copyleft license

-The "dual" part allows use in proprietary licensed project (the stated enemy of the copyleft license)

-The ones left out are projects that use other copyleft licenses and copyfree licenses.

In my opinion dual-licensing copyleft licensed projects is a mockery of the purpose of copyleft.

All this is however irrelevant to the discussion about funding core FLOSS software. It doesn't matter the license, the challenges to funding such a project are the same.
And once you involve Windows, especially with the mentioned "ZOT files", Samba becomes a massive bottleneck...

Should the training data set be open-source?
This is an entirely different frontend that was added years after Gmail launched. The interface that most of us use absolutely won't function without JavaScript.

Adding a pure html view to a mature, profitable application to appeal to a niche audience probably makes sense. Building it that way from the start probably doesn't.
To be fair, that's the cost to buy it. If you watch it with three friends you're saving money. Plus you can watch it again and again if that's your thing.

Movies have been ~$15-20 for a long time. I'd guess not much of that cost was physical media.
A lot of this is also frontrunning the central banks. The ECB has already indicated they will buy german bonds (which have negative yield). Rates can (and will) go even negative-er, so if you buy now and sell later, you still make a profit.

It's easy.

Did the car start? If yes, drive it. If no, take (tow) it to get fixed.

Is the car making funny noises or is some form of warning light popping up? If no, drive it. If yes, take it to get fixed.

Does the car need an inspection? If no, drive it. If yes, take it to get inspected.

Is the car due for an oil change? If no, drive it. If yes, take it somewhere to get the oil changed.

They should have some sort of maintenance log or shouldn't be offended if you want a mechanic to check it before you buy. If it has over 60,000 miles it better have been inspected and at about 90,000 miles it should have been replaced. This varies by car.

A car with an Interference engine will blow up if that belt breaks. Engine replacements are not cheap.

A good hint on how things are, open hood, look at belt (this is not the timing belt). Does it have pits? Does it look really worn? If it is, I would make a bet that proper maintenance isn't being done. It is slightly harder than basic fluid maintenance.

If you're uncomfortable with all of that, then buy a certified pre-owned from a decent dealer.
