> I'd just like to point out that most of our customers have webapps written in go - not just JSON apis so this argument that go is not for webapps is at best incorrect.

The fact that your customers are using Go for webapps does not mean that tptacek's statement that he would give the nod to Scala for webapps but consider Go in the running with Scala for web APIs. Advice is not "incorrect" because some people make different choices.

> From the conversations I've had I strongly believe most webapps are going to be written in go in the coming years.

I'll be surprised if that ever happens. There's plenty of languages that have a good story for webapps -- Go certainly isn't the worst choice, but the advantages it has over some alternatives aren't all that unique, nor are they without tradeoffs. I wouldn't be surprised to see Go continue to make gains for a while (and then be passed up by newer things), but I don't see it ever being most webapps.
That's what they thought about neutrinos at first, too. At first they were just a kludge to make (IIRC) lepton or spin conservation hold during alpha decay. Then they actually found the things.

Better just internet.

It's like McDonald's building "free" roads that you can use to reach McDonald's, but if you want to go anywhere else you have to pay tolls. It is unbelievably self-serving and for Zuckerburg to dissemble on that point is wildly disingenuous.

"Well, at least they can reach McDonald's" is not a good argument against just building roads and letting people drive wherever.

If they master vertical landing without external support equipment, they can pull it off on Mars as well. I think that's their other goal here.
This isn't possible for some manifolds. In particular, you can't choose a point uniformly from an infinite plane. To see why, split the plane into an infinite number of equally-sized (say, one by one) squares. Each square should have an equal probability that one of its points is chosen. Call this probability s.

Now let's look at the entire plane. If you pick a point, it will surely be on the plane. That means the probability that you choose a point on the plane is equal to one.

Putting the squares together gives you the whole plane, so you'd expect that summing their overall probabilities s would give you the overall probability of the plane, which is one. But there are an infinite number of squares, and there's no real number s for which the sequence s, s + s, s + s + s, ... converges to one.

Under federal law Sergey and Larry and Eric can each give a maximum of $2,600 to any federal candidate, $5,000 to a PAC, or $32,400 to a national party committee. This is not "millions of dollars."

Why Is Bear Bile So Expensive?
Young people say this a lot, but I don't hear people in their 80s say it.

When my grandpa was dying in his mid-80s, it really hit home for me how scary it is. Even if you've had a fulfilling, long life, dying still sucks. For young people, another year of life for an 80 year old doesn't seem like much, but to an 80 year old it means the world.

> is something author didnt bother to test at all. His word list includes words with apostrophes (hex #27), like basic's, his code accounts only for ascii letters and crashes on that list :)

Oh, I know it crashes. I had to remove a total of ~20 words that had apostrophes from the original word list. I just added this since it was an interesting take on the problem that I hadn't thought of. Instead of assuming that you have only alphabetical letters, you can assume that you will be getting any ascii character, and hence make an array of 255, and not 26. Which only adds to the problem.

> Ehhh :/ Yes, sorting is faster in python, ONLY because sort function is highly optimized low level code, while anything you write yourself will be extremely slow due to interpreted nature of the language. You can easily write O(n) hash routine in low level language (assembler, c) and beat nlogn sort.

No argument there. In fact, I tried alternatives in Python which were algorithmically (is that a correct word?) superior, but sucked when put to the test. I even tried with array.array, but unfortunately, that takes a list as an initialiser. So, if you wanted to initiate a fixed size array, you would actually be creating the list, and then creating the array which makes the process even slower.

> correctly? yes, faster? NO, ~10% slower. Again seems author simply assumed something is going to work and didnt test.

You insist on saying that I didn't test it (your other comments seem to reflect a similar level of disdain for other people's intelligence as well). It is indeed slower, but the reason I added it is to showcase a bit of stdlib magic. Initially, I was using Counter the wrong way, and now there's a place for it (the whole story ties in at the end). But on the bright side, you tried out the code yourself, and hopefully learned something new (I know that's hard considering how impeccably smart you most certainly are). To be honest, I didn't really think people would read it that far.
Yeah, that's the one I read. I think that's most of it.
In the world of Enterprise software (which is where most of the money actually is), most peoples needs _aren't_ that different. Basically everyone is writing CRUD + data summaries.

I assure you that the author is indeed smart (at least he thinks he is), but is unskilled in the ways of complexity analysis. This was his means of making himself better, by seeing what other people made of what his attempts were. Regrettably, he still has a lot more to learn it seems.
One field that relies on unproven but assumed true mathematical conjectures is cryptography. Provably secure crypto usually assumes that P != NP (it also incorporates further assumptions such as the intractability of integer factorization).
I wonder if the scales would tilt more in favor of separate images if you added a good tree-shaking step. You can bang out useful scripts pretty fast by pulling in a few helper functions from large libraries, but the more scripts share a library, the less functionality you can discard from the final image.

If you can cut the size of the core language's image in half with just a simple method like this, you could probably get impressive results using more sophisticated methods on images requiring a lot of libraries: https://gist.github.com/burtonsamograd/f08f561264ff94391300

Why should a government decide what is appropriate for you and what isn't?
The article seems to guffaw a bit about the Kaiser's concerns over the French invading through Belgium. They absolutely were planning to do that! And much of the French leadership was still thirsting for vengeance over 1870. If the Belgian king found a discussion about the subject shocking then he was an idiot.

Agreed. I feel the key take away from any failure is to learn from them, and thus the mistakes that we make become earnest ones.
Fascinating question.
In my opinion, it is because the Kaiser was so inconsistent that such a drama could unfold - his never ending blathering facilitated the rise of hawkish people in his entourage (and the german empire at the time was full of those), in turn increasing the risk of a full scale conflict which eventually broke out in the summer of 1914.
It is only insofar that Germany can be deemed as "more" responsible for the outbreak of the first world war. Anyways, the absence of proper check and balances apart from the Kaiser made the downfall of the regime inevitable on the long run.
What does the Hurd have to do with the GNU Project as a whole? Haven't other kernels filled the role?

It's possible to separate what the GNU Project does now from what it was originally slated to do 30+ years ago. Providing a solid userspace and suite of libraries is no less important than providing a specific kind of microkernel.

Outright deception is wrong and consumer protection laws are in place for good reason. To remove that option completely for the 99% of a society is ridiculous and harms innovation, entrepreneurs, and the notion of having a "free" market.

They do launches with different trajectories, so you'll run out of fuel if the landing site is fixed and you're launching the rocket in another direction. Besides, you'll anyway need something to transport it back to mainland.

If all this goes well though, the intention is to eventually fly it back and land it on the mainland.

It's not at all obvious to me how "assigning a probability measure" translates into an actual algorithm. For one thing, if you have an n-D manifold embedded in an (n+1)-D space, any set of points on the manifold will have measure zero in the enclosing region.

An iPhone Taking Video Tumbled from a Dubai Skyscraper and Amazingly Survived
you're incorrect. To be more pedantic, sequence labeling is a special case of parsing. Parsing need not be hierarchical. Chunking, aka shallow parsing, is a sequence labeling task.

Parsing is commonly understood to infer an hierarchical structure, but that's not required.

Indeed, the Latin root leads us to understand that parsing is about breaking an object into parts. That these parts nest according to a particular grammar is something of an important implementation detail.
How much does semver make sense for an OS kernel? It makes more sense to split out function calls into families based on purpose and stability, and declare that this family of functions is stable, this family is not, and focus on keeping the kernel running in a stable fashion regardless of the declared version number.

If anything, that makes even more sense for a microkernel, with different function call families being provided by different servers.

What if we restrict our attention to closed manifolds?

I guess the difficulty with framing this as an algorithmic problem is that it presupposes some way of specifying the input, and I don't know exactly how that would be done. If your input is a polygonal mesh (or higher-dimensional equivalent) then the problem is easy, but what about things like parametric surfaces?
Very true, although in this specific case I would not mind taking a placebo if the side effects are low and the placebo effect is good.

This is correct. You certainly are better at explaining this sort of stuff better than I do. If you have a blog or if you write for any org, please do give me a link, I'd sure like to improve.

Let me just re-iterate your point. The longest word in the English dictionary is 45 characters long. The average is 5 and the average of the word list I've used is 8. So, when it comes down to it, saying that its constant time is a fair assumption because your (as you eloquently put it) the length of a word is bounded.
1. Countless lives have been destroyed by alcohol. Busted up families, people killed by drunk drivers, children maimed by fetal alcohol syndrome, abused wives, husbands and children, fried brains, fried livers and across multiple generations... Why would we want to repeat that experience? If alcohol were invented today it would never be in widespread use like it is now. It's become a lifestyle thing because of thousands of years of culture and legacy. It's a prime example of why your approach is a terrible idea.

2. Heroin is a highly addictive substance, that will kill you in sufficient qualities. You don't see that as a problem?? Even if it were cleanly packaged with a black label, people would still take too much and die from it. Cute example with Tylenol, but doesn't cause dependence and withdrawal. Opiates are given to people with pain, where they have a fundamentally different physiological effect.
Based on this quote "static friction in bipropellant valves introduce a lag that the control system couldn't handle"

It sounds like the fuel valves which control the engine's throttle took longer to turn up or down the rocket than expected.

The control system that is constantly processing rocket position and turning that into throttle outputs couldn't handle how long it took for decisions to turn into actions. That tends to cause wobbling in most controllers (overshoot, undershoot, etc).
Also guessing you meant "virality" and not "virility", but then again maybe you meant to describe BuzzFeed as having a strong, manly sex drive?
"Couple that with the numerous benefits and stress-free work environment at Google"

huehuehuehuehue
So presumably this is a valve controlling fuel flow to the engine. The valve is hooked up to some form of motor/actuator, and the rocket's control system needs to open/close the valve to control some aspect of the thrust.

Since valves cannot open instantaneously, the control system has to know how long the valve takes to open/close, and start that process a little bit early so the valve is open when it needs to be open. If something goes wrong with the valve, it doesn't open as quickly, and so the computer model thinks it should be open and isn't, which could easily go off into an unstable state.
