It's funny how "US people" (I assume you are one) tend to equate "socialist" and "oppressive", conveniently forgetting the state-sponsored torture and murders of the right-wing regimes they propped up during their history. Authoritarian regimes are authoritarian regimes, whatever block they align themselves with.

Side note: I have not noticed that the NSA got dismantled or that representatives supporting this kind of surveillance faced huge backlash in the polls... Unfortunately, lawmakers on both sides of the Atlantic appear to be ready to do anything for "security", and their voters are too apathetic to react.
That's the interesting thing- I am not, unlike most chatterbot projects, using existing technologies and jumbling it together- a quick glance at the "read more" page on the technologies of ACUMAN will tell you otherwise.

Everything is made from scratch. From the ground-up. I could have used AIML (the AI version of XML), or anything I wanted. But instead, to make it unique and customizable to the demand of this project, I created my own markup language entitled ACUMANSCRIPT. Even the sentiment analysis algorithms are made from scratch by using Naive Bayens algorithms. The only APIs in use are those for some aspects of the knowledge base, which is a must in any machine learning or artificial intelligence project, as not leveraging the massive amount of data available on the internet would be a waste.

I sincerely doubt that we are anywhere near a flawless piece of artificial intelligence software, but this is not a result of people's lack of diligence in the field, but rather a testimony to it's complexities.

Google has made a short documentary explaining why natural language processing and machine learning are some of the hardest fields due to their surprisingly complex nature:

Presumably "everyone" includes Kickstarter --- that is, as far as Kickstarter is concerned, A & B are the same entity as well. I'm not sure I see how it could work otherwise (but I don't know Kickstarter that well).
The XOR is applied inside the CPU when local pointers (any pointer with a particular high bit set) are actually dereferenced. Its transparent to the normal program. This is how we can COW the used pages without rewriting all the pointers (which is not a solvable problem in the face of memory-unsafe languages such as C).
Oh My God what a mess. Everyone, please just use the freaking version numbers.
I think "most unique" works here, perhaps because I can read "most" as emphasizing the importance of the uniqueness rather than modifying its degree.

Pedantry is attention to compliance with usage "rules" rather than the success of the expression.
Yes, it's similar, but: it has a concept of services, which are jobs that run forever. It has a concept of allocs, which are permastorage that resides on a machine, where jobs can be rescheduled repeatedly that share the same storage. it scales to much larger size and is better at managing the fleet of machiens and scheduling work there.
Thanks. I think it's definitely amazing to see how "inter-connected" (for the lack of a better word) this community of investors (especially in Silicon Valley) is.

On your second point: thing is - could be because I am not a d3 expert - when I turn off gravity, I am struggling to keep nodes within the canvas. Maybe I am missing another setting?

There are some pretty great instrument apps available for the iphone, like the ikaossilator by korg, a tonne of great drum machines, loop apps, synths etc. And mixed with the Audiobus app that lets you route the sound of one app into the input of another (as long as both apps support Audiobus which most seem to do), the possibilities for creating music entirely on your phone are limitless

If you’re interested in this topic, you should listen to episode 20 of the Android Developers Backstage podcast. [1]

Raph Levien talks about audio latency and how they started working on minimising it in Lollipop. He mentions that it’s still an ongoing process.

The relevant part starts at 35 minutes into the episode.

In what sense isn't it dead already? Transistors per chip, clock rate, and performance haven't doubled for several generations already. Take Nvidia GPUs, Intel CPUs, or Arm CPUs for instance.
Reading about this takes me back to the late 90s. I had just gotten serious about recording music on my computer and purchased an 866mhz dell pc. I was a using windows 98 and ASIO was still mostly a Steinberg only development and I couldn't afford cubase. I got a hand me down version of cakewalk pro audio 8. I remember the latency of that set up was about 35ms and thinking this is pretty good. There was some degree of having to start playing just slightly early so you could stay on time. With guitar and keys this was doable but I'm sure it would have been maddening with drums. I think it was when fl studio 3 came out that I had the first "daw" that supported ASIO. I remember being blown away at how much tighter everything sounded from that point on.

For those interested in why iOS is better than android, a good summary would just be to say Core Audio was designed from the ground up to be a low level low latency audio API. There are fewer layers in it vs android. When designing OS X Apple knew they had a large professional media market so that got priority. I am interested to see the results of these guys efforts and have wondered when an ASIO equivalent would pop up for android.
The article referred to him being "name dropped into books".

I disagree, native looking applications, while "boring", at least feel natural. Every time I use an application with custom controls (which almost always look pillowy) I feel like it wasn't made by a professional, it tends to respond different and it just doesn't feel right. I have read again and again criticism against Java and how it "failed" in the desktop because every time you used a Java application, it looked like a Java application.
I'm always amazed when I hear a developer state that they use Windows by choice. Frankly it makes me look down upon them - no matter how successful they are (and this fellow is clearly very successful). I have to use Windows at work every day, and every day it will make me howl in frustration. How do people cope without a decent terminal?

This is amusing but not really new. When I worked as a site reliability engineer for Google here in London, I would get ads on Facebook reading "Come and work for Facebook as an SRE in London".

I was always amused by the specificity of the targeting, since there were only about six of us at the time, but I suppose they did the same thing on a much larger scale in the bay area.
Thank you, that's exactly what I was wondering. I didn't see anything in the article that gave good reasons for why iOS would be a significant improvement.
Keep it up, Brian :-)
Netflix can serve up to 40Gbps of traffic per server in cleartext HTTP. Their initial test of adding TLS induced a performance cut of ~3x, which has huge cost impact to their infrastructure. This is due to sendfile(), a kernel syscall used by nginx, not being available when data needs to be encrypted by TLS in userland.

Netflix really needs sendfile() to work with TLS to enable HTTPS on all of its traffic, so they added some limited crypto support to the BSD kernel. What that paper really demonstrates is the need for a TLS stack in the kernel that can let userspace daemons benefit from low-level optimizations. I, for one, would love to see something like this added to the linux kernel!

This is great work from Netflix. They could have just said "screw it, it's too hard/expensive, we'll do HTTP". But instead they listened to a minority of their users that really cares about privacy and dedicated time and resources to fixing a hard problem. Really impressive work!

By not doing much work in a terminal?

I use a CLI for about 10% of my work, and that's all PowerShell, which works very well for what I want it to.

But the vast majority of my work is inside either text editors or IDEs.
> so that 'should' give a factor of over 64

No, that's not how trends work. You can't establish a trend from just two data points. And, given a trend, you can't just pick two points and say they should be so far apart. The only way that would work is if all the data points were very close to the trendline. And the only way that would happen is if CPU development happened very smoothly; which it doesn't. You have spurts of performance increase as new architectures are released.

The only thing I was showing with those two figures was that it's clearly not true that speed stopped increasing in 2005. If you want to show there's a different trend, then you need multiple data points and compare the recent trend with the longer term trend to see if they're significantly different.

Audio processing in Android is low-priority, highly layered and each layer has extensive buffers. This means samples take a long time to move through layers, and as these delays accumulate you end up with fairly big and definitely noticeable audio latencies.

This is obviously an issue when doing real-time audio processing or generation: if you're using virtual instruments and the feedback to your cans is 1/10th of a second behind the interaction it's unusable.

But it's also a problem for more mundane applications: a 200ms roundtrip (100ms to move samples from the mic to the application on the talker's side, and 100ms to move them from the application to the speaker on the listener's side) is is more delay than the transmission time from somebody literally on the other side of the earth. Same with fast-paced game, audio feedback >100ms after an action is highly bothersome or even game-breaking (the sound is output several frames behind the gamestate)
My personal opinion on this and no way the opinion of core Pharo devs, I am just a newcomer to Pharo and a minor contributor.

Mainstream will kill Pharo in an instant. Pharo is too cool and too well designed for mainstream. Pharo also is going towards a complete opposite direction of sacrificing features over ease of usage.

So in the end Pharo is not designed for the mainstream developer its designed for the developer that looks for something radical diffirent.

But diffirence comes with a cost, it means that you get out your comfort zone, explaining basic concepts takes much more time and effort because of lack of familiarity etc etc.

So if you dont understand Pharo at first try, thats not a bug thats a feature. If you do understand Pharo at second try that's a bug.

Some people refer to pharo as "the red pill" of coding, taking the red pill has its advantages but also significant disadvantages. The choice in the end is yours.

Sure documentation and website can be improved but it wont solve the problem that Pharo is outside mainstream way of doing coding because this is what makes Pharo so fun to work with :)

How does "the other guy took all the money" work out, in your mind, to "but you're still funded"?

Something that's holding me back on ReactJS is that I'd like to render pages server side, and I don't want to use Node.js, but Go or Python instead.. and there aren't many folks doing this combo.

(Maybe the best option is a "render server" in Node.js?)
No one said they don't, and I'd agree with that. I think the whole law-abiding nature (or lack thereof) is a bit of a red herring when talking about this sort of thing. It's really just inattentiveness that causes drivers to hit cyclists, and a lack of awareness of cyclists in general. If a driver is about to make a right turn, he's often not thinking that a cyclist could be coming up on his right, from behind, so he doesn't even look there. That sort of thing is the real problem that needs to be fixed.

For me it was the better handling of multiple displays. With a tiling window manager (in my case, i3), windows expand or contract nicely when I dock my laptop and they move to the two displays on my desk. With a regular window manager I was always wasting time moving them from one display to another or resizing them.

I believe that being keyboard centric also made a big difference. I still use the mouse some but I mostly use the keyboard to move around workspaces and windows and the tiling window manager is very amenable to that workflow.

When using OSX, I haven't been very happy with the tiling solutions available. They all frustrate me in one way or another. And, in terms of the way my desktop looks, I'm okay with it being... well, maybe not the most aesthetically pleasing desktop around.
The first step in solving a problem is recognizing that there is one.

I'm just as surprised as you are with these anecdotal observations, but I agree- there is a lot to be done to fix the issues, not the symptoms.

This is cute, I wrote a chat bot like this when I was your age. They're a pretty popular/common new programmer project because there's not much to the interface and it can fool people into thinking it's actual AI. This one's pretty fun.

If you think you might want to pursue programming more, I would recommend trying to participate in some open source projects. Not only will it look great on your CV but it will give you more useful practical experience in working with real code and working on a team.
You are wasting your effort with all the fake comments. Most users of the site will see them for what they are and when they get a bit of admin attention, they will be marked as dead (so no longer shown except to users that choose to view them).
I don't think Kickstarter is aware of any of that. They have received some DMCA complaint for a project, and so they have made it private and sent out an automated email to all backers that the project isn't gone.

I don't think their semi-automated DMCA system cares much for the drama that happened before here, even when the mail is somewhat unfortunate in these circumstances. I guess this can be confusing for people that are as computer-illiterate as to not have access to their Kickstarter campaign.
Well, e.g. 20x 0.4ms (rounded to 0ms) is going to be noticed quite soon.
It is hard to take their threat seriously. It must be horribly expensive to move a huge datacentre without disrupting the service. The most they could have done is to move their headquarters, which wouldn't protect them from this law, and make all their growth outside of France, which is what pretty much all major French corporations do already anyway.

+1 for the book "The New Turing Omnibus". Not very well known (it seems to me), but it has lots of interesting stuff. Perfect for little exploratory programming projects.
I know a lot of really good developers who work mainly in the windows platform. While I personally find working in windows like working with 1 1/2 hands tied behind my back they have built up just as large a toolset as I have in unix based systems. Most of them are just as effective as I am they just have a different toolbox. If I wished to I could build up just as large a toolbox on a windows platforms. I just don't want to at this time in my life.
The point raised in your link about "Why would Muslims be more outraged by cartoons in a Paris magazine than by hundreds of thousands of Muslims killed by Washington and its French and NATO vassals in seven countries during the past 14 years?" doesn't make sense considering the recent attack in Copenhagen, a planned assault against Jylland-Posten from a few years back, and the murder attempt of one of the Danish cartoonist. Unless you want to believe they were all false flag operations, but that's really going far.

I'll also point out that the Hyper Casher gunman was linked to the Kouachi (and even gave a TV interview).

The timing of the suicide, on the other hand, is certainly odd.
You are making a very generic statement by saying "developer state that they use Windows by choice". If you read the entire post, he clearly says that he uses a dual environment of Windows/Linux. He uses Visual Studio which is certainly one of the best IDEs and right now, it only works on windows. So it is not like he is only using windows but he is using what works best for him. He also uses Vim as he clearly explained. Isn't that the point for developers that they use the tools they are most comfortable with ?

I am not a Windows fanboy of course. I know Linux works really well for dev environments but if you prefer to use an IDE for development and not just a simple editor, then I would argue that it is hard to beat Visual Studio. Sure you can program even in notepad. Again, a choice. CLI is not always the answer. But then again, Windows does have Powershell which has evolved well.

I will give you one example. If you are building ASP.NET MVC applications, you really don't have a better choice than Windows as you can integrate it really well within Visual Studio, link with Git and pretty much do everything within VS including deployment. It just works. So there are uses cases like these where Windows makes sense.
I'm aware of the ethical implications, and I haven't made my mind on the matter (probably never will). I just said that it's not a silver bullet, and presented cases where it could go wrong.
They really should've gone with "You'll Clean That Up Before You Leave" for the Atlantic barge.
Yes. But if some of your stages have delays of tens of milliseconds then there's no point knowing how big the delays are in the stages that are lower than 1 millisecond.

Once they're all below 1ms it's worth increasing the resolution.
This was a premise considered a very long time ago when it came to the NSA's snooping. People were (still are?) putting keywords in every email, etc. It didn't make any difference, and inherently can't.

Here's why.

Scenario 1) It works. You get arrested on some arbitrary basis for impeding their system. Or they otherwise make it illegal to do so, and begin cracking down on that.

Scenario 2) You throw a vast amount of interference at their system, and it has an effect. They spend more of your money to constantly stay head of the collective efforts. Most likely a relatively small number of people will never be able to overwhelm it long-term.

Scenario 3) It doesn't work in any meaningful way at all.

Fewer layers usually also means less flexibility.
