I have found that to the general public, drone now means either of two distinct things:

1. Any type of multirotor, regardless of how autonomous it is or whether it has a camera transmitting video

2. An autonomous fixed wing military aircraft used to take grainy green videos and drop bombs

Although, actually, the second option would more likely not be the default, and called a "military drone" to clarify.
Erm, it's a big tradeoff. You get better code density, but it takes longer to compile well and is slower to interpret.
Enjoyable article, but that two-column layout is bizarre.

I've also heard a theory that U.S. federal assistance to mothers gave lots of peanut butter, possibly leading to more allergies. I can't find the reference, though.
Try reading some of the stuff from http://www.bohmian-mechanics.net/ I was a student of Sheldon Goldstein of that group and can attest that it has no problems with many particles.

In fact, part of my thesis was explaining how identical particles are handled in Bohmian mechanics. Basically, one considers a configuration space whose points are sets of points in physical space rather than some arbitrarily ordered points. One then immediately gets bosons and there is a principle which guides one to fermions. This works beautifully with spin as well, where the spin is associated with the physical point in space, not with the particle label as is usually done. I find it to be very elegant.

There is also an extension to quantum field theory in which the particle creation and annihilation operators actually represent those events with the Bohm particles. So that is not a problem either. It becomes an indeterministic theory at that point (creation is a random event while annihilation is simply when the particles collide).

The main conceptual question is dealing with instantaneousness of the theory. It is a merit of BM that it brings this to the forefront. One can always put in an arbitrary (hidden) foliation of space-time to deal with it, but it is a bit distasteful even if, as there are, foliations that can be derived the other existing structures.

One final note is that Bell was a very strong proponent of Bohmian mechanics even when Bohm had forgotten about it for a time. Bell's formulation was based on the first order probability flow and not the quantum potential. Bell's version works for spin while the quantum potential does not (sadly for numerical work).
Yes, we were definitely lucky, although the cash flow risk wasn't on purpose! Some things happened in that graph that were out of our control. The lesson from that graph is don't count your money until is in the bank and don't sell a product until it's on the shelves.

With only $6M raised, this whole venture is probably a 100 to 1 moonshot to be honest with you.(although as an entrepreneur clearly I have to believe the odds are better than that...). Calxeda raised $100M and went bust, Tilera raised $150M and was sold for $50M, Tabular raised $200M and went bust, the Cell processor supposedly cost $1B to develop, etc.

The wave of one particle is just a suitable approximation. The wave is a wave in configuration space, one for the whole universe. This is also what it is in standard quantum mechanics or in many worlds. It is always the same wave. Somehow Bohmian mechanics gets a bad wrap because it takes the wave seriously despite the other interpretations only having a wave function in their views.

Giving more peanut butter to people might discover an existing allergy, but I was under the impression that more exposure to allergens lowers the risk of the immune response to the allergen. That's the idea behind allergy shots.

I'm not a doctor, though, so some clarification on that would be helpful from anyone who knows more than I do.
Are you talking about http://www.x86-64.org/documentation/abi.pdf, and footnote 7 on page 16, which reads:

"7 The conventional use of %rbp as a frame pointer for the stack frame may be avoided by using
%rsp (the stack pointer) to index into the stack frame. This technique saves two instructions in
the prologue and epilogue and makes one additional general-purpose register (%rbp) available."

%rbp is mentioned elsewhere, eg, "optionally used as frame
pointer"

This ABI does not appear to specify that the frame pointer is omitted. It uses the words "may" and "optionally". Which means, the gcc engineers can choose to do what they want. And they should choose to keep the frame pointer _by default_, and _optionally_ omit it (for when the sacrifice is deemed worth it): -fomit-frame-pointer. This would better follow the language used in the ABI! :-)

We've found debuginfo to be large (size, bytes), which can slow down instance creation, which means we must run with a higher headroom to accommodate. A stripped-down debuginfo that just enabled stack walking might do.
The truth is that big market companies rarely if ever buy from chip startups. With new technology, the best forward is to partner with a larger company and license the IP. (see cognivue, mobile eye as great example in the automotive market). Still, we will continue to sell our chips and boards to anyone who wants them for as long as we are around.:-)
Unfortunately, the only "generic" pieces available for sale in my country seem to be baseplates and 2x4 blocks in assorted colors.

I miss the svelte 1x16 pieces. They made such excellent beams for the large and airy structures that I liked to build, but they must have been part of a very unusual set because I can't find them anywhere else. :(
EDIT: I have a clearer analogy for you. Imagine that we lived in a world where the US watched lots of action films and Spain watched lots of documentaries. Furthermore, imagine that there was a lot of money and power flowing into the documentary industry, and that the action film industry is relatively dry.

That's a proxy for socioeconomic inequality. Now what you are trying to argue is that Americans just might prefer action films. Ok... great. Americans prefer action films. But why?

So we go out there and we ask Americans how they feel about documentaries:

"They are boring. We'd prefer not to watch them."

Hypothesis confirmed! So we ask them why the prefer action films:

"Because they are in English. All the good documentaries are in Spanish."

Ding ding ding! Of course Americans prefer action films! They don't have access to good documentaries! Why would they prefer documentaries when they are all in Spanish?

---

So when you ask why women prefer not to work in STEM, you'll learn something about the cause of the social inequality. Saying it's a "matter of preference" tells you nothing. It just sounds like you're trying to invoke a naturalistic fallacy and stop investigating.

Maybe if you invested more in good English documentaries, they would be quite popular. Maybe the preference would disappear. So it doesn't matter if there's a preference. What matters is why there is a preference.

My suspicion is that it will never be possible to parse asm.js as quickly as bytecode simply because it is structurally different. However, a quick search does suggest there are still some improvements possible in Firefox to speed things up somewhat.

You can't just cut a sentence in half then analyze just that part.

No one's analyzing anything here, and no one needs to have for the purpose of my statement. The apparent assertion that I'm countering is that there's no point to "complaining" about how rich people spend their money: this is demonstrably false. There's a ton of examples both historically and in the current world. Whether or not there is any analysis in the comment, the op, or the book being referenced is peripheral to the point.
Peanut products are banned from my kids schools. For some reason totally unrelated tree nuts are also banned but not other legumes. This is fine with me because I view nutbutt as yet another unwelcome Americanism and I don't want my kids to grow up fat, ignorant and unable to spell colour. My kids can still take vegemite sandwiches and be proper Aussies which makes me a proud dad.

Ofcourse the real unwelcome import is the stupid anti-vaccination movement.

If you co-design the package, then a realistic test shuttle fab turn around time is ~4 months. It also depends on how early you were in the process. Doing shuttles in 28nm in 2011 was definitely bleeding edge. Clearly something happened to push out the sample delivery to 11 months..
Alas, alignment is not in my area of expertise, nor of the people I know directly. I'm a heavy user, but not a developer of aligners (except a toy one). You could consider contacting Cole Trapnell or someone well known for making a widely used aligner and propose a collaboration, but that is a hard cold call. On the plus side, it means I probably wouldn't be your reviewer :) (but editors do sometimes get desperate...)

Your initial problem, if you frame it as the desire to simply enumerate all the degenerate sequences and loci, could be solved any number of ways as other commenters have mentioned. Probably I would reach first for a regex. But sure, no crime in learning to implement a new algorithm while also testing the limits of V8. Probably half of my grad school time was spent that way ;)

I think your best bet if you wanted to publish would be to find a use case for in-browser alignment. It would be hard to answer the obvious question, "why not server-side?" though. But who knows, people are somewhat often taking old bioinformatics algorithms and saying "but now you can do it on your phone!!". And they do publish.

But as for matching both speed and accuracy of state-of-the-art aligners with Javascript, it is my considered, scholarly opinion that you have no chance in hell. So you shouldn't present it that way. It would be unnecessary to compare (at least for speed) if you weren't making claims about speed.

I've been meaning to try that. I grew up on a farm and never had any allergies to anything, then last year moved to another state. Dear lord. Someone suggested local honey but I never got around to getting to a store that sells it. I'll have to try it this year.
Hardly desperate. One can easily derive Bohm's equation even before Schrodinger's equation just by using de Broglie's relation. It is not about intuitions form the classical world, but rather noting that we have particulate events. Always. Heck, in cloud chambers, we see paths (or so they tell me -- I am not an experimentalist).

When creating a theory, it helps to start with the stuff whose behavior will explain your results. Who would start with a wave function on configuration space of the universe when you do not even have any configurations of stuff? The whole thing seems farcical.

I am unaware of any nasty complications. Spin, many particles, creation and annihilation of particles, scattering experiments, and all the rest are not only easily dealt with in Bohm's theory, but actually explain what is going on.
Recognize first you bring absolutely nothing to the table. Join a coding bootcamp, get yourself a front end engineer job, and develop a network organically.
I'm working on ways to refactor source code in such a way that it uses less energy.

One way is to decrease cache misses. There are lots of ways that I've thought of.

Crypto Apis can be useful for things other than encrypting data - for example creating uniqueness or testing for uniqueness - I'm sure a range of other clever possibilities exist.
That's exactly what I found with my kids. You've got to buy far more expensive modern sets to get the same number of generic any-pieces than you used to.

So the price of free form creativity with lego has indeed gone up.

> ...because it means handing over your private keys to gmail.

You should be able to create a separate gmail-specific certificate and give gmail only the key for that.

The resistance in doing this sort of thing bothers me. There are users who believe that their keys should only be on an airgapped machine or on a hardware crypto token or something. This is fine for things that need ultra-level security, but at the same time the gap between usability and ultra-security prevents adoption of even the simplest signing.

If instead we consider hosted mail providers to have a copy of private keys as acceptable, incremental improvement in security (but on the understanding that this is a weak mode), use of strong encryption would become more ubiquitous and the ones who need stronger security would be in a position to get it.

To make this work, I think that maybe we need more metadata capability though. Certificates should explain the level of security/usability trade-off the subject expects to take with the corresponding key (everyday use, ultra protected but awkward, etc). And protocols need better support for multiple keys that match a particular identity (eg. "sending encrypted? Do you want to send it to the recipients everyday key, or his ultra-protected key but then may not bother to read it for a while because it'll take him effort to get access?")

Of course, this also means that there is a UX problem to solve. But that's part of the problem with email cryptography, isn't it?
> These days, when I browse the Lego section at any large toy store, all I see are heavily customized ("licensed") sets that seriously restrict what you can build with them. The bow of a ship is no longer a jagged stack of rectangular blocks; it's a large, smooth, custom-molded piece that can't easily fit in anything but a ship.

This is another example of the rose-colored nostalgia the article mentions, I think. Lego ships have always used dedicated boat parts for the hulls, starting in 1973 with the Tugboat (http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/310_Tugboat) that kicked off the Legoland Boats line; the Pirates line that debuted in 1989 did the same, starting with the Black Seas Barracuda set (http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/6285_Black_Seas_Barracuda). It makes them much more seaworthy for bathtub play. The Legoland Boat sets used to come with a special weighted keel piece for the bottom to keep ships upright in the water; I don't know if the pirate ships do, but of course you can always re-use the ones from the boat sets.

> So maybe that's part of the reason why we think Lego is getting more expensive. There have always been small, cheap sets and large, expensive sets. But unlike in the 80's, most of the small sets are no longer worth buying. They are so heavily themed and custom molded that the average kid can't do anything truly creative with them.

This is definitely not true. I don't have the money for big shopping these days, but every time I'm at a Target I like to pick up a little $5-$10 kit, ideally one of the mini vehicles. I always get hours of fun building and fiddling with the little things.

I feel like "Lego sucks now" has become a meme that people just repeat without ever actually testing it. They look at a few kits in the store, pick out whatever details fit their preconceptions, and sneer about it on the internet. Try it! Go down to the store and buy a Lego kit. If you don't like the licensed jobbies, I highly recommend the Creator line; they tend towards straightforward vehicles and animals and robots and stuff, and most of them actually come with complete instructions for three different things per set. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Tesla and GeForce products are made from the same chips. The GeForce products have several features turned off, and are then sold for a fraction of the price and often with more aggressive clock speeds. For any given workload, you have to assess whether you need the extra reliability of the Tesla products and whether the features disabled in the GeForce matter to the problem at hand. For many uses, the high-end consumer parts come out way ahead in this comparison; the Tesla parts are never an automatic win.

Case in point, with the countdown to Perl 6 now on the cause seems hopeless:

Given that efficient text & regex parsing is Perl's forte I don't see Perl 6 satisfying the basic requirements of Perl 5 hackers.
Fun fact: you can pay a few tens of dollars at a factory tour to try your hand at making them yourself. They start you with cabbage and shrimp tempura, which are easy enough to succeed at after an hour of practice. Very fun. Cabbage involves pouring molten wax in a thin layer over a hot water bath then waiting for it to congeal on the surface of the water and pinching it with your hands while still pliable. After you get it in the desired folded shape you quench it in a cold water bath and it sets almost instantly.

The implication is that the excess phosphorus from the sewage treatment and perhaps agricultural runoff is causing the problem. I didn't see the paper address specifically if that fjord had anoxic periods before humans changed the inputs. This fjord has a basin with a smallish, shallow mouth.

Just want to point out that the job market is not neccisarily 'bad'. There was a huge period of growth in the post WWII era as the university ecosystem expanded with the economy, continuing along later with the boomers' expectation that their children do as they did. Now we live in a post-boomer, globalized economy where the low hanging fruit has all been plucked.

That's not 'bad', more likely just the new normal.
> Outside of physical tricks like this (and various physical anti-deduplication tricks that are surprisingly limited), duplication is really not something you can ever control.

This type of control is the point of smart cards. The card contains a private key which can't be extracted (or at least is difficult to extract and may involve destroying the card) and a processor that can do signing operations which prove to the kiosk/register/whatever that the card is physically present.
But if one has access to the Go compiler source, is it not a reasonable guess that one would be able to access a go compiler binary from the same trusted source?

I'm not sure what they are looking for, but I'd say learn your distributed computing theory. Most every person I talk to there is quite competent in that aspect of CS.

You should be learning about things like hashing algorithms[0][1], bulkheading[2], backpressure[3], caching and cache invalidation and coherence[4], and eventual consistency[5], among other things. Start with those and you'll have a good foundation for your interview.

Heck, if you just read the pages on those topics you'll be way ahead of the game, and if you follow the related links, you can give yourself a solid foundation in a day.
