Same here.. What does this has to do with Haskell?
Your polynomial, since it doesn't get it exactly right at 1/4 & 1/2, will have an enormous relative error when you use it for computing logs of numbers very close to 1.

Goldberg's initial function b ignores this issue, and a glance at the graph of its absolute errors will confirm that it's the minimax poly for absolute error or very close to it. His next candidate t half-fixes this, and again looking at the graph of the relative error makes it clear that it's right. (Note that avoiding intervals containing zero will indeed allow you to get better max relative errors -- keeping the relative error finite where the function is zero effectively reduces your polynomial degree by 1.) Then finally he fully fixes it with the polynomial g, solving the more interesting problem of minimizing the max relative error for the log function everywhere, and chooses a better functional form by shifting the interval he reduces to with the polynomial s.

(The fact that his earlier polynomials do the wrong thing is clearly not a mistake but a paedagogical strategy: start with something simple and incrementally improve it.)

My apologies for spelling all this out, but it really appears that you're accusing him of making elementary mistakes without actually understanding what he's doing.

"Imposing that errors should vanish at certain points" is not a mistake, it's a necessity if you're implementing log by argument reduction plus local approximation and you care about relative error in the resulting approx_log function, and you are getting better numbers than Goldberg by solving the wrong problem.

Your (2,2) rational approximant will be much more expensive to compute than the polynomial and won't yield the speed gains Goldberg is looking for. And, again, it will give you a log function with infinite relative error at 1.

Wholly uninteresting. And it's not really unique to GW2, of course. Banning after players are caught cheating happens every day in online games.

I guess the difference is normally players are simply banned and maybe a forum post lets everyone know if the player was famous, instead of an admin logging in, removing gear, suiciding and then deleting the character and then banning the account which is 100% for dramatic effect. I guess this was congenial for the 'journalist' who likes to use dramatic effect in his titles himself.
The question (and OP made that clear) is how you criticize. Trolling is not the right way, I believe.

Cosplaying Captain Obvious neither.
From a static point of view this is true, however splitting the functionality into sub functions might later obscure commonalities that would have been obvious if they were still part of the upper function.

It all depends at which stage of development you are at. If the piece of code we're talking about is mature and rarely changing then yes it seems like a reasonable thing to do. If however this section is still under development then I would opt for another way of dealing with readability issue.

I think if what you want is to optimise the readability of the code then a simple comment above each section, combined with block scoping is a good set up for splitting.

As the true nature of the code emerges one can decide to turn the block into local lambdas then later into functions.

Again that's because of the first point I've made here in this comment. If you are still developing the functionality, splitting early means that subsequent reviews&development may miss potential interactions + potential refactorings/simplifications that would have been quite clear if the function was still "messy"

This project is nice for educational purposes, but I wouldn't call it a VM, but instead a "bytecode interpreter".

I think nowadays it is kind of a minimum requirement to have the intermediate code JIT-compiled (or at least compiled).

I'm also missing a garbage collector, although that is not necessarily part of a VM (but often is). See NaCl for a counterexample. By the way, a project that I'd like to see is an efficient garbage collector implemented inside the VM, instead of as being part of the VM.

We have considered this. We really liked what heroku did with their postgres service, especially the 'followers' feature. Considering hasura's core principle is not to reinvent things, we really want this integration to happen. However there are few technical challenges before this becomes a realistic option.

1. hasura-db requires few custom extensions (written in c) to be installed into postgres which is not possible in heroku's postgres.

2. hasura-db also makes some assumptions about authentication which is handled by the hasura platform.
This is how I use it in debates where intelligent design proponents will on top of the complexity argument tend to use examples of how fantastic everything is as evidence of design. A blatant example of something that seems so in your face obviously flawed tends to throw them.

It's also useful because the complexity of the eye is often used as an argument for ID on the assumption that an incomplete eye would be useless, but for the eye we do have a long range of intermediate stages that would provide useful levels of sight, and we can show a long range of variations over eyes in existing organisms.

What second garbage collector are you referring to? There aren't "two VMs inside each other" when you compile with Dart.

I think Dart's biggest weakness is the fact that most web developers don't understand how compile to JS languages work and go around spreading all kinds of silly FUD. I remember posting a Gist on the day of Dart's release showing the compiled runtime, and the thread exploding with hundreds of comments from people laughing at the fact that it was 17,000 lines or so, nevermind the fact that that's how every compile-to-JS language that's more than a thin skin over JS semantics works.
It does compile to JS and use the JS garbage collector. The posting you're replying to is very misinformed.

> What I see here, is just an 'ego' hurt...

It's about customer retention. I personally know a bunch of people who have quit games because of cheaters. I personally quit GW2 due to a flyhacker. By humiliating the cheater the developer has appeased the person who's day they ruined, potentially preventing them from uninstalling the game and never returning.

The developer effectively put power back into the hands of the thousands of people who were cheated by that one person.

As far as I understand you are also less likely to run into unpredictable performance (runtime bailing out) scenarios using Dart + dart2js.
Just looked at the summary, but it doesn't seem to include a chapter on asynchronous jobs ( such as report creations, emailing, or any kind of long running tasks). Along with websockets / push architecture, this is often when website designs start to be really complex.
You can get the same effect with a block of code by properly naming variables and adding a single comment line if need be. It's really just a personal preference.

TypeScript is definitely an improvement over JavaScript but it is less ambitious compared to Dart (something that is also mentioned in the video you linked to).

Dart is more than 'just' a language with cleaner semantics (which is already an improvement upon TypeScript which still is closely tied to JavaScript re type coercion problems etc).

See my other posting. The Dart VM exists and can be used on the server side, for command line apps and in Dartium (fast dev cycle & debugging).

There is advanced tooling, a very clean standard library, a mobile optimized runtime, bundler inspired package management (pub), a well staffed team of people working on the analyzer and compiler toolchain and a lot of stuff surrounding "Dart the language".

"But technology in the future will allow them to see travelers’ positions — through the GPS device on their phones — to track their movements. If a passenger is late for a flight, for instance, an airline might decide to rebook the passenger on the next flight automatically.

I can't comment much on post-graduate courses(outside of health care), but one of my biggest gripes about many college courses was the layout of the course. I wonder if a TA, or group of TA's could do a better job on designing the course?

(I still think about some of my inept tenured teachers. I had this Geogology Instructor who talked so fast students needed to record his lectures. I still can't figure out whether he was on meth, or just wanted to appear more intelligent? He had a master's degree, but wanted to be called Doctor. He was on one of his beer fueled camping trips looking for rocks, and stumbled on a fossil new to the world. He spent the next year studying the fossil, and finishing his PHd thesis. All communication between Speedy and his graduate school was over the telephone. He flew his rock back to the Midwest--gave his grand presentation. He was told he found a common fossil. He came home with his tail between his legs. I remember this guy because he was the only teacher I actually asked, "Is there a reason you are speaking like you are on speed?" Yea--I got a C in the course. I didn't complain because on the first day of the course he stated half your grade would be on participation in my course.(Meaning if I don't like you, you won't be getting a good grade. That line of thinking probally couldn't fly today?)

The idea is that a hypothetical Lamborghini-index would give you information that is essentially a tiny subset of what you'd already know from GDP+GINI. So you can compare GDP+GINI to GDP+GINI+luxury cars and conclude there is no advantage of having the extra information. It basically tells you "there are at least n people in this country who can afford a Lamborghini, furthermore if you assume that r percent of people who can afford a Lamborghini actually buy one, then this country has approx m=r*n such people". But basic economic data already lets you estimate m fairly well, so what's the need for knowing n?

Perhaps if r varies a lot between countries knowing the actual number of cars gives you some extra information about how much that country in particular values cars as symbols of status. But, would that be useful?

Either way, this is very tangential to the point I was trying to make, which is that education and cars are not equal measures of the development of a society and that an educated population is more that some sort of social status scorecard :)

Really? Well, consider you have reiterated one of the ubiquitous applications that I mentioned in my argument, but the use of it to combat the super-bacteria is never considered in these studies; I believe this is more by design than not--in fact I found its absence particular lacking when I was finishing up my studies during the so-called 'pandemic' with H1N1. It was beyond absurd the hysteria that ensued, but perhaps more concerning was the blind and dogmatic line of thinking that occurred that surrounded it all--a (ill founded) faith based confidence in big pharma to solve everything, in this case: Gillenad sciences headed by Don Rumsefeld.

I thought the pervasive theory about how it 'spontaneously emerged in nature' incredibly suspect considering I was completing my courses in Microbio and Biochem and working extensively with bacteriophages to create anti-biotic resistant e. coli with limited success under controlled lab conditions... then I realized my university-health sciences department was heavily funded by a major hospital. And all for something that was patented by Baxter:

http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/276194
http://www.globalresearch.ca/big-pharma-baxter-files-swine-f...

So I find the use of silver nano-partical therapy, oral or sub-lingual administration or atomized silver inhalation methods are acutely lacking as possible means to combat anti-biotic resistant bacteria/infections, as well as viruses and fungi.

Collective bargaining grew out of the need to strengthen the weak negotiating position of labour with respect to capital. Labour's negotiating position is weak when labour is abundant and/or capital is short.

In many industries (especially those that dominated the 19th and 20th centuries) labour is abundant because workers are fungible: business owners can keep wages down by threatening to replace workers. This doesn't happen in software engineering because software engineers aren't easy to replace: relevant experience matters and learning curve is steep.

Unlike the capital-intensive industries of the past, software engineering is very light on capital: the initial investment required to start a company is within reach of almost all software engineers.

Thus, in software engineering labour is short and capital abundant and so labour's negotiating position is strong and capital's position is weak. This is one reason why software companies are so generous in benefits and why there are no unions. It has nothing to do with anybody's ego.

Humans are optimized in some very specific ways, but at the expense of some serious downsides.

As a related aside, I think its this misunderstanding that confuses people into preferring creationism. If one holds the anthropocentric view that humans are the peak of biological evolution (itself a meaningless concept... Evolution is about fitness, it's not directional), believing in creationism is a lot more understandable.
