I am an Indian and it shocks me that Indians are still blaming the British after 70 yrs of independence.

Is 70 years of Independence not enough to make your language "first class citizen" ? Ofcourse Bengali is second class language because Bengalis didn't invent the standard.

Can we stop blaming white people for everything. Seriously WTF.

My first choice as theoretical Quentin wouldn't be "how can I frame this accidental, perhaps even flagrantly disrespectful omission as antiprogressive and dissect the credentials, experience, and ethnicity of the people who made the mistake via culture essay," it would probably be "where do I issue a pull request to fix this mistake or in what way can I help?"

Maybe that's just me. I look forward to the future where any mistake not involving a straight white Anglo-Saxon man or his customs can be built up as antiprogressive agenda, and the best advocacy is taking the people who made them down rather than fixing the problem that is the, you know, problem.

(As an aside, imagine my surprise to see a Model View Culture link on HN given how much MVC absolutely hates and criticizes HN, including a weekly "worst of HN" comment dissection.)

South Philly resident here. Philadelphia has "pretty good" public transport compared to many other large cities. It is particularly easy to get around by bicycle and by foot. It is no problem to get to any part of the city proper by subway, bus, taxi, uber, bicycle or foot. There are connections to NJ via bus and PATCO. Much of the outer suburbs are connected via SEPTA. You can get to NYC via NJtransit (cheaply!) or Amtrak (more expensive). It is not perfect, but I have trouble understanding why you're complaining, where do you want the public transit to go that it doesn't already ??? BTW, the lax attitude about parking is true: I own a car and park it on the sidewalk in the alley behind my house.
Since wifi security isn't going to change anytime soon, I have a solution; don't remember network connections. I already do this to avoid connecting to rogue 'linksys' ssid's, and on mobile you might save some battery by not searching for access points all the time.

You can freely mix Hack code and PHP code on the HHVM, calling functions and classes defined in any PHP file inside you Hack app. Then you can slowly evolve the codebase to contain more and more Hack and less and less PHP.

That's the huge point that nobody seems to see.

But then again, considering how many other huge points PHP developers seem to miss in general, maybe it's better to just let Node.js eat the world :)
Getting rid of CJK unification would better model actual language change in the future (France, for instance, has a group that keeps a rigorous definition of the French language up to date -- I would enjoy giving them a subset of the codes to define how to write French).

But the general principle sounds odd. Should 家, the simplified Chinese character and 家, the traditional Chinese character have different codepoints? Should no French be written using characters with lower, English code points because of their need for a couple standard characters? Should latin be written using a whole new set of code points even though it needs no code points not contained in ascii?
What's keeping you from having a cache and forgetting to expunge it? It's fair to say that you have to work a lot harder in Rust to get a memory leak, while it requires no effort in C/C++, though.
It was an odd way to demo the tech as it was really quick. But what happens in the video is that the user holds a picture up in front of his face and nothing happens. Then he removes the picture to show his face and is immediately logged in. It seemed to happen much quicker than the other examples of unlocking, in the same video, that I assumed it was a video example of how the tech would work and not necessarily a real life demo. Obviously I could be wrong though.
What the fuck does that have to do with "woman's work"?

I see a description of some fields being considered more difficult than others, I see no description about it being considered women's work. Instead I see you applying your own bullshit bias to it in order to attempt a point that absolutely is not there.

tl;dr; shut the fuck up.
That sounds expensive. My dinner is usually $15/day for 2, my laundry is usually $20/week for 2, and done by my local laundromat door-to-door pick-up / drop-off, and I don't get my appt. cleaned, but I can get rates of about $20-30 per hr.

I feel this is highly overpriced. Maybe if $10/day or $15/day.

I feel like spending ~ 400/week on this (2 people) is excessive. $200/week could be something I'd consider.
First of all, I don't want to oversell this. I'm not overly precious about it and I'm not saying that having started with HTTP as a platform I wouldn't add JSON later.

I'm sure I could find myself in a position where I would want to standardise on JSON as a container for requests/responses, though see my last paragraph about Atom.

That said, my instinctive reaction against using JSON as an envelope is that it adds a layer of abstraction (and potential obfuscation) that I don't see an immediate benefit for. It may hark back to my experiences with SOAP. My mantra is to exploit the existing protocol to its fullest before extending it, and to do the simplest thing before adding complexity.

Let's presuming we're still at a basic level of interaction through a website. Treating something as a form with fields such as name="user[email]", name="user[password]", name="user[telephone][mobile]" etc, seems more discoverable to me, as a developer at least.

For one thing, I know there is no JSON translation layer to go through. For another, I can get a server to generate a form that I can use to test the interface quickly and easily. To do the same with JSON would require me to have some JS intercepting the submit event so that it can convert the contents to JSON before posting. So now I can't use a terminal based browser to do my testing. Which means maybe I can't automate some testing strategy so easily.

If we're talking about a more sophisticated RESTful API, I would probably choose ATOM over JSON, because ATOM is built on XML and therefore is defined by a schema and can be interpreted by the browser. Specifically, it provides the rel attribute for discoverability. JSON payloads can implement this too, but you have to choose your extension.

In fairness, if I were doing a RESTful API, I'd probably be thinking about being able to implement interfaces for ATOM, JSON, and HTML, plus whatever cool new thing is just around the corner.

I don't disagree, while observing that it plays hell with security if (forgive my use of Latin; I don't have a codepoint translator handy) 'bat.com' and 'bat.com' are two different websites because the 'a' in the first is a Chinese-a and the 'a' in the second is a Korean-a.

(Of course, this calls into question the wisdom of expanding DNS into the Unicode space in the first place---a space that does nothing like guarantee 1-to-1 association between visual glyph and code for an application that has been built on the assumption that different codes are visually distinguishable. But that ship has sailed).

Yes, they are.

...But I wasn't referring to that list, I was referring to the people commenting on here. Also, a representative list of scientists who do not oppose the mainstream view of climate change would be far longer (note the chart on the side), and also include far more people who actually study climate change.
Right, but some languages are insanely complex to implement. It might be a better idea to teach English to people around the globe rather than cater to every individual need (which will still leave people unable to communicate across languages).

I'm not saying other languages should go away -- but the world would also benefit from having a "universal" language, which is more or less English at this point (Mandarin is spoken by more people but is rarely spoken outside of Asia). If we want to maximize intelligence and will to power, it would be best if like-minded individuals could communicate regardless of where they're from or what their native language is.

As far as I understood, target retirement funds will switch the allocation from stocks to bonds once you get close to retirement. With the robo advisors, you'd have to manually move your risk tolerance downwards.

I personally would hate to have that happen in an automated way. I don't want the fund to automatically move over during an economic downturn. I'd rather have it happen while the S&P is at a new high :)
>Their models made the assumption that debt ratings were accurate, and they were substituting leveraged mortgage backed securities with AA ratings for risk-free debt. They also underestimated the effects that a liquidity crunch would have - any asset model backed by volatile assets assumes liquidity, but doesn't tell you what will happen in a period of non-liquidity.

Do you think all these guys with fancy degrees did not think about this? Come on, of course they did. You don't even need to know about any model in particular to understand that models rest on assumptions. It's a high school concept they teach you in any TOK class.

The reason GS was able to react is IMO they have a great network. The culture is geared towards finding out what other people are thinking. They're the only firm I've been out to dinner with where the guys cared to hear my opinion, in depth. The same salesguy at another shop reverted back to type.

So they found out through their feedback that many, many people did not think the models were correct and acted on it.
> OCaml compiles pretty fast, especially if you target bytecode.

Yes, but OCaml doesn't "offer very similar functionalities".

Haskell is quite a bit slower if you consider that you often have to compile not only your own code, but also the sources of your dependencies in the beginning. Additionally, you have to fight with Cabal, which tends to be very unpleasant due to the lack of any reasonable support for exotic things like "versions". Then you might discover hacks like "sandboxing". Hours not spent coding.
I think their distinct calligraphic representations mean that these would be destructive; whereas with regard to CJK, the characters are clearly represented the same way between the considered languages.

Not sure if the l33tspeak analogy is fully justified.

In case of the "missing" letter (called khanda-ta in Bengali) for the Bengali equivalent of "suddenly", historically, it has been a derivative of the ta-halant form (ত + ্ + ‍ ). As the language evolved, khanda-ta became a grapheme of its own, and Unicode 4.1 did encode it as a distinct grapheme. A nicely written review of the discussions around the addition can be found here: http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2004/04252-khanda-ta-review.pdf

I could write the author's name fine: আদিত্য. A search with the string in the Bengali version of Wikipedia pulls up quite a few results as well, so other people are writing it too. The final "letter" in that string is a compound character, and there's no clear evidence that it needs to be treated as an independent one. Even while in primary school, we were taught the final "letter" in the author's name as a conjunct. In contrast, for the khanda-ta case, it could be shown that modern Bengali dictionaries explicitly referred to khanda-ta as an independent character.

For me, many of these problems are more of an input issue, than an encoding issue. Non latin languages have had to shoe-horn their script onto keyboard layouts designed for latin-scripts, and that has been always suboptimal. With touch devices we have newer ways to think about this problem, and people are starting to try out things.

[Disclosure: I was involved in the Unicode discussions about khanda-ta (I was not affiliated with a consortium member) and I have been involved with Indic localization projects for the past 15 years]

I agree that compilation is a lot slower but it's actually not that much for any practical use. In any case recompilations happen a lot more than from scratch compilations, which are fast.

Don't you agree that different styles will be there no matter what in any high level language? You will always find code written by other people to be different. Some comments make it look like the different styles feel like different languages but short of writing Java in Scala you won't find that to be the case.

I will agree that some codebases are slightly more complex but they are libraries and they are complex because they want me to have a nicer, richer API.

That's effectively the only way to write several indian language with unicode - ZWJ + NZWJ and a decent font which supports all the ligatures.

The recent Bullshit Sans font is a clear example to describe how ligatures works. And for Malayalam there are consonant patterns which do not match itself to the Sanskrit model which makes it rather odd to write half-consonants which are full syllables (വ്യഞ്ജനം +് zwj).

And my name is written with one of those (ഗോപാൽ) & I can't say I'm mad about it because I found Unicode to be elegant in another way.

Somewhere in the early 2000s, I was amazed to find out that the Unicode layouts for Malayalam as bytes in UTF-8 were sortable as-is.

As a programmer, I found that detail of encoding to sort order to be very fascinating as it meant that I had to do nothing to handle Malayalam text in my programs - the collation order is implicit, provided everyone reads the ZWJ and NZWJ in their sorting orders.

2008 was not the first time correlation shot to 1. Sure, it's hard to model, I'll admit that. But to think that nobody had considered this is wrong.

I saw a bunch of people who knew the models were wrong, but nobody had the balls to say so while the spreadsheets still worked.

Here is the limit of what I was saying.

A person with the ability to program, probably will have that raw ability in various languages. There is a knowledge core that is very transferable. An experienced programmer can come up to speed very quickly as concepts get mapped into things they already know. A polyglot will have been through this several times, and won't be afraid of the process.

But there is a great deal of knowledge that we use every day that is environment dependent. A programmer with 20 years of experience in various languages will not be noticeably better by day 5 in a new language than someone who has been programming for 2 months only, but in that language. A simple change can leave a programmer feeling incompetent.

Programmers who respond to this badly are not going to handle such transitions well. Furthermore if they get stuck in defensive behavior, then the initial discomfort will turn into permanent failure.
