I would suspect that the engineers theorise what can be done and produce a small scale demonstration and then the craftsmen take the concept and refine it into something that's reproducible at scale too.
Thanks for the links. I did not want to state beyond the U.S. because I have not done the research myself on this subject.
To clarify, I didn't mean to disagree with you about the severity or suffering of PTSD patients.

> PTSD is not Tumblr-fairy disease; it's the thing you get from being interned in a POW camp or locked in someone's sex dungeon for months/years. People do have a right to avoid reliving that sort of experience.

It doesn't even take something that severe, I have a friend who was working at a convenience store at the time when he got PTSD after going through two robberies in two nights, both times from people he knew. My understanding is that PTSD is triggered by episodes of severe, debilitating stress.

PTSD sufferers deserve the freedom of not reliving those episodes, and there are treatments available to help them. They don't have to avoid going to university altogether, they don't even have to wait until they're better thanks to the many online education options available these days.

> But making an allowance for rape survivors to leave the room when there's going to be a live screening of Salò isn't all that hard, is it?

Perhaps there was a miscommunication, but I agree with you on that. That's what I meant in my previous comment when I said 'if you don't like what someone is saying, walk away'.
I think people mentioned this already, but the first four bullet points make it look like there's a strong interest in getting C# closer to ML :-). Nice!
Erlang and Elixir are both dynamically typed and do dynamic dispatch.

Erlang does not know the types flowing through a call site in advance and therefore has to do dynamic dispatch.

In particular, Erlang has a "code server" that all calls throughout the system must thunk through, versus a statically typed language where a call is optimized to a single JMP instruction. Smarter JITs, like Java's HotSpot, can also do this, and HotSpot is smart enough to inline both virtual and dynamic dispatch at runtime. BEAM can't.

Erlang's closest thing to a JIT (HiPE) cannot inline calls across modules, has no support for deoptimization, and is in effect a naive, crappy, AOT compiler which does the bare minimum to work in an otherwise dynamic environment.

Source: I made this... it was basically Elixir before Elixir:

http://reia-lang.org/

These days I like languages that can actually avoid this overhead through the use of static typing, like Rust.

Note that it isn't necessarily bad that Erlang works this way. When it comes to Erlang's core strength: coordinating the concurrent activities of a massive number of processes/clients, it really does shine. Just don't use it for anything CPU-intensive.

I really hope those were typos, because if this is a deliberate attempt by Apple to silence competition in the marketplace it manages, then this is almost certainly unethical from a business standpoint.

It would be equivalent to Amazon banning Roku or Apple TV or Chromecast sales right after announcing the Fire TV.

Well, there's Microsoft, which has been penalized on various occasions in the States and the EU despite not actually being a monopoly (there were plenty of other operating system vendors out there, Apple among them).

And then you have Google, which has been taking quite a bit of flak from Europe lately.
I'm no expert on that. I thought it was just managed Mysql. The google stuff scales pretty well for startups who are starting to blow up.
Certainly the judge thought it had nothing to do with it, which is why it couldn't be introduced as evidence.

I had already done some Prolog in CS class, and I thought that I knew what it was all about. Writing thousands of queries as a data analyst made me really think about how to reason logically and constructively. I'm still often surprised just how much can be accomplished with a query engine alone.

People talk about logic programming as if it has fallen from grace and will never be able to deliver on its promise, but I'm convinced it is yet to make its biggest impact.

Physics needs philosophical underpinnings, and has them.

Physics does not require ongoing academic activity in the area of philosophy. That is to say, some new discovery in physics does not require new philosophy.

Maybe that's just what stable looks like.
Exactly. It is very clearly wrong for companies to act this way, but at the same time, just like your example, it is also pragmatic. Clearly there's a problem, and my question is: how can we fix it?
There's a "hearing voices movement" that aims to change the Western interpretation of auditory hallucinations, in roughly the way this article suggests:

In the context of sharing IO, Erlang does have the same problems. I was however referring to IO in the sense of "I'm going to block until I get a response." And not have to deal with callback shenanigans (be it futures or callbacks). Golang does solve these issues fairly well except for GC issues (which I've heard have gotten better).
Apologies for the snark, but to me, pulling popular comments from certain posters out of context into a feed sort of undermines the point of the forum altogether, which is the conversation as a whole.

I won't push the point though, but when people start treating a site like this as a feed instead of a forum, then I think the quality of the site is diminished.
A few highlights spanning multiple decades, in chronological order:

C - The concept of a memory address as a manipulatable thing is a powerful one (and, yes, also a dangerous one).

Forth - Composable components are a great way to build systems.

Perl[+Shell] - Write little programs that muck about with text, and then link them up. High-level abstractions (associative data, regular expressions, etc.) can be practical things, not merely pipe dreams that exist only in textbooks on data structures & algorithms.

C++ - Strong support for abstraction makes one rethink a lot of things.

Python - Everything can be a little blob with attributes I can mess with. Comprehensions are awesome. (And a PL at about the same level of abstraction as Perl can still feel sane.)

Haskell - Type systems can be helpful. Mutable data is bothersome. Tossing around functions is great. Syntax can be simple without being confining (lookin' at you, Forth). Recursion + TCO is a Good Thing (lookin' at you, Python).

If I had to pick just one, it would be Haskell.

C.

After I wrote a scripting language in C from out of a book, errors from all other programming languages themselves written in C (Java, python, ruby, tcl, perl, php, etc.) made perfect sense, especially in regards to tokens and AST's.
> The reigning attitude in physics has been “shut up and calculate”: solve the equations, and do not ask questions about what they mean.

Really? My physics teacher has taught me the exact opposite, that you must break away from relying on numbers and equations and approach every situation conceptually first.
The iOS experience - no matter how "polished" it may look - still ranks way farther than even some absurdity like MS-DOS-on-a-phone for as long as Apple continues to pull these sorts of shenanigans while not providing for any way to sideload an app (and no, jailbreaking doesn't count, especially when Apple actively fights against it).

Of course, that's just, like, my opinion, man, but having used both, the marginal (if any) advantages of the iOS ecosystem come nowhere near balancing out the massive downsides, for me at least.

Well, yes, especially in quantum theory. Seeing as no one has any idea what quantum physics actually means (or at least there is no consensus) but it provides theoretical results that agree with experiment, the trend has been to "shut up and calculate".
Are data types that complex a concept to grasp? When I started programming in VB I don't remember it being.
> It also doesn't qualify as a brain teaser, IMO.

That's debatable. It requires a piece of unusual thinking ('return this'), and a bit of magic (knowing about the 'this' magic variable), but once you've seen it, the answer's obvious, and it's pretty easy to replicate everywhere.
When I added friendly monsters and Wolf3D dogs to Doom, I tweaked the randomness to make the dog behavior more life-like.

Friendly monsters go after enemy targets, but absent any targets, they follow you in semi-random motions, but they stay a comfortable distance away from you, except when getting onto a platform or other crowded space.

Awareness is the first step and all that. It is absolutely not utopian because there is no cosmic requirement to supply a solution, which by the way is an authoritarian interpretation of the use of Foucault's analyses. There is also no implication that we can be free of discursive relations, and describing problematic (or even historical) aspects of human behavior toward one another does not saddle him with a responsibility to solve them.

In short, you appear to be rebuking Foucault for not doing something he wasn't trying to do anyway. I mean, his words remain, so any utility hasn't been lost and remains for any of us to pick up and...use. So, if you think he didn't take it far enough, feel free to take it where you think it should go!

I don't know. Any details of the case aside, "shut up or pay $1m" doesn't ever look very dignified. Besides, by doing this they've put the case back in the news again - leave it and it goes away.
Right, but until iOS came about, they didn't really go the other way and control what software can be used with their hardware.

That's the underlying problem here. Unlike with their desktop products, Apple's mobile products have only one possible source of software (unless you break the phone's security and install Cydia); as long as that continues to be the case, the sort of shafting like what this topic is about will continue to happen without government intervention.
Generally agreed.

PL's are a part product of all of history of computing, but a bigger part is a product of the programming Zeitgeist. It's better to be a young language than to have matured 15-20 years already. Certain syntactic or other choices bite you inthe ass in a new zeitgeist. When I saw Java's implementations of lambda stuff, I cringed a bit. Java's friction in generics, due to choices made about typing, also made me say, "Ouch."

I like to think I've matured out of the language and platform warrior mode enough to yield more objective consideration beyond my most-used and favorites (and are they favorites because they are most used or because they are so good?).

F# has given C# a nice boost in the juicer, but certain earlier choices are ossified and make later adaptations more challenging or, potentially, near impossible to do, do well/right.

I like that C# is going across OS's, but were also entering the Age of Containers and there are implications, opportunities, and challenges we have barely started considering.

OP - I love the concept, but the execution isn't there. I installed it on my Gear Live, and it pops up a "Heart Rate" notification, that until acknowledged leaves the heart rate sensor on. (the green light underneath). This would obliterate the battery. It needs to do it's thing, and go away, not wait for me to tell it to, or even notify me at all. I'm not sure with the API if this is possible or not, but for now, I'm sorry.. it's just not usable.

I... didn't claim to hate anything? I was making an argument that some people will get sick from some speech. It's a medical issue, and there are several solutions. I'm not sure you read my comment charitably.

Now, I'm not from the US, haven't been to a university for quite some years, and so am not personally experienced with what these "safe zones" are about in practice, the politics surrounding them, etc.—but I was trying to say that, if they had any justification at all as a theoretical construct, it was in giving people with PTSD a way to get away from "broadcast all over campus" things like graduation speeches, if and when a planned speech is found to have content that might trigger specific kinds of traumatic stress attacks.

Not because it might offend someone. Not with voluntary ability to leave for any reason one might like. Just a medical excuse from attendance, like a person with acrophobia would get from a field trip to the roof of a skyscraper.

And again, even then, it might be better for those people to just leave the university campus, or avoid coming in the first place.
Also, demo reproduction was a huge issue. We had to do all kinds of versioning to make sure that a demo which was recorded with one version of Doom/Boom/MBF/etc. was faithfully replayed with the current version. One tiny mistake, and the whole demo could go into a tailspin. This sometimes meant we had to preserve bugs like Lost Soul stuck-in-wall bugs.
Even if it did get "just as bad" on the Play Store (it probably won't, since Google's fully aware that Apple's shooting itself in the foot with its draconian restrictions on apps), you're forgetting that - unlike with iOS (unless you jailbreak, something that's actively fought against by Apple) - most Android devices allow the installation of apps from outside the Play Store.

Doing well in performance reviews doesn't mean much. It was pretty clear that she was not easy to work with, and a lot of her coworkers didn't like working with her. I have no doubt that she was a brilliant employee, but that doesn't really matter if no one wants to work with her.

> I understand what you're getting at, but some people really do have PTSD, and some speeches really do contain things like graphic recountings of abuse. Should those people just not attend university?

Perhaps don't attend that speech then? Life at a university doesn't involve dodging "pro rape" speeches blasted over the PA system multiple times a day.

The recent article about the "safe spaces" full of coloring books and toys notes that people were fleeing to those rooms simply because _someone was on campus giving a speech that challenged their beliefs / "triggered" them_. If universities are catering to folks that simply can't handle the thought of someone with a conflicting viewpoint talking on campus then the ideals of the university truly are dead.

It's totally possible to get to 80 general purpose compute servers to a rack, with a power draw of around 15kW. I prefer the Supermicro FatTwin, but there are other options with similar density.

It usually isn't worth going to a mega dense rack (25kW or whatever), because unless you built the entire site with this in mind, you'll probably run out of power before you run out of space. Then you spent extra on these extreme density solutions for no real return. It can still make sense, if the entire solution is thought out.

Photoplethsymographic heart rate requires a lot of algorithmic compensation for noise and motion artifact. There are some pretty sophisticated strategies available for beat interpolation, but individual R-R intervals are tremendously more difficult to recover accurately against real-world noise. HRV measurements are also very intolerant to error in R-R interval, and even less so to dropped beats. There are certainly conceivable solutions to these problems, but no major manufacturer of PPG based consumer heart rate devices allows access at a level low enough to get R-R time series or understand R-R interval confidence. OEM module manufacturers for pulse ox devices do allow direct serial access to the PPG waveform for those interested in hacking at it.
R Studio is browser based as well. It just happens to ship in a Chromium shell...

>Again, where in the article does the author suggest this course of action? If anything, he seems to be suggesting the opposite, that the humanities should be returned to their traditional place in the public square, questioning and criticizing the prevailing ideologies of the day:

Ok. Questioning and criticizing on which grounds? Either there's a right thing to do, and anyone informed can point out that the public is ignoring it (in which case, universities are useful for such), or, as the humanities academics tend to say these days, there is no right answer, in which case they really have given up grounds for criticism.

What I'm bloody fed up with their doing is claiming the sole ground to make normative claims, and then asserting no such claims at all!
The article states they "...obtained a database from a CoinVault command & control server (containing IVs, Keys and private Bitcoin wallets)."

Reading between the lines, the police located the server, served a subpoena to the hosting company, and took possession of the server. They then turned it over to Kaspersky who created the site based on the keys on that server.

The screen dumps are just showing how they figured out the decryption routine - the private key alone doesn't do you much good if you don't know the algorithm used.

To answer your own question, it's stifling competition in the iOS browser space. The above example is precisely why Firefox (for example) is unavailable on iOS; they didn't want to make a technical compromise like using Apple's version of WebKit instead of Gecko or (eventually) Servo.

Basically, the only browsers allowed on iOS are reskins of Safari. Technical competition is stifled that way.
The problem with Akka oversubscribing is that it doesn't actually have control over execution. It can't pause an actor in order to guarantee fair scheduling. It's similar to Node and the event loop in that regard. That's a big deal in my book.

Competitive memory overhead in the Erlang world for a quarter million processes is 700MB (just sleeping). You can't do that with POSIX threads, where the default pthreads stack size on Linux is 2MB. Java adds more overhead on top of POSIX threads. As far as tuning PTHREAD_STACK_MIN on x86 is generally 16K, which is quite a bit bigger. So either you aren't in the same ballpark (factor of >5) or you have basically built a scheduler yourself (which is what Akka did).
