A few things come to mind:

1: The teacher might be doing this out of ignorance
2: The teacher might be doing this out of insight
3: The teacher might be doing this because not everyone has high speed Internet.

If it is done out of ignorance, it is because the Internet is this big scary unknown that someone told them "anyone can edit" so they banned it. That is awful.

If out of insight, I've seen more and more students at the university-level think that an article is something they say on Buzzfeed. (Not kidding) By banning the Internet, it forces students to do more effort (sometimes literally because they have to physically travel to a library) to prove their point.

Lastly with high speed Internet, the upper-middle class were the first I knew to get high speed broadband back in high school. To this day, it isn't cheap where I live (is it for you? It is better now, but would still be a burden for many where I live) so banning the Internet puts an even constraint on students. (Before anyone mentions a computer lab, staying late at the computer lab is not the same as using wifi while you're bed or desk at home)
Why shouldn't a company be able to produce and sell it's own product?
Our experience at the Tesla store was quite pleasant.

The ordering experience was literally walking to an mac in the back part of the store and bringing up teslamotors.com.

No paperwork, or shenanigans. We were actually talked down from a few options we were thinking of based on the sales person saying that they weren't quite worth the cost if it wasn't something you were interested in(leather seats, winter package).

Closest experience I've had was when I bought a Saturn ages ago. No hassle, just here's the price and features we offer.

Detroit better look out because if Elon has his way Tesla is going to eat their lunch.

I didn't claim (and neither did kibwen, who unlike me is a major Rust contributor) that Rust's approaches around memory management didn't change. But your claim that "Lifetimes aren't regions" is false -- lifetimes are squarely in the 30-year research history of region systems.
I thought they started with IE and cut out parts. That's not ground up.
Yes, it's a (reasonably) intuitive front-end for a lousy data format.

Xlsx is supposed to be an 'open' format but it's overly complex and a PITA to parse. Like most things produced by Microsoft, there are a ton of unnecessary and overly-complex features added on that have little/nothing to do with data/calculations.

External tooling sucks (because documentation of the format sucks). The additions that are supposed to support networking suck. The security features that are supposed to ensure read-only access suck. The file size of XLS files are unnecessarily large and not conducive to transmission over the web. If there was some way to reasonably decouple the data from all the formatting, object, validation, security, and scripting overhead it wouldn't be so bad to work with.

Unfortunately, it's the most complex data structure manipulation format that 'business types' can reasonably understand so it gets used for anything and everything that deals with data and/or calculation.

Do we have any non-human examples of this process, or is it 100% hope that the "flying cars" future will have a working process and it will be sufficiently effective to resurrect a human brain?

Also, do we even have a mental model of the steps and just not the technology or are we missing the mental steps, too?
Neat. I notice 2 of 4 pictures show inclement weather, which is probably to show their advantage over motorcycles. Since in general a 2-wheeled motorcycle is more enjoyable than a trike.

Can this thing provide the crash protection of a normal car? If not, why not get a normal MC?
> Have you actually studied the go compiler implementation ...

Yes. Though it's worth mentioning that they use the same AST infrastructure for `go format` and `go fix`. That means they need to track comments anyway. However, those use cases don't necessarily have the same requirements for accurately matching comments to semantically meaningful nodes.

> using comments to generate documentation (like doxygen)

1) I don't really believe in javadoc or doxygen really.

2) Even if I did, I'd prefer actually (and similarly lightweight!) metadata notation.

3) Also consider runtime documentation support. eg: https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.repl/doc and https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.repl/source
Postgres Toolkit 0.2 released
Why didn't he mention the Netherlands?
Yeah. As someone who's not used to negotiating regularly, especially at car level stakes (what else do people buy that's expensive, houses?) buying a car from a dealer was an experience.

The war analogy is apt. Burn every bridge. Don't just be ready to walk, walk. It's an all day process, but it can save you literally thousands of dollars. One of my old managers went to the lot, looked around for the least saleable car, and made a standing offer for it. They called back a couple of times with higher prices, he declined. Turns out at the end of the month, they have to make a quota and would take his deal.
> If someone does not want to negotiate, CarMax is okay. The prices are not the best, but they are clearly shown online and the buying process is dead simple.

You should revisit your first three paragraphs to understand why people are okay with Carmax's prices. Buying a car should not be war, it should not be a hassle, and you should not have to wonder the entire time how you're going to get screwed.

Disclaimer: I have bought over 11 cars from Carmax for myself and family; never once have I been dissatisfied. Next car is a Model S or X.
Sorry, but did you read the article? They claim a 38% performance advantage over "other frameworks", which I assume includes React.

Even if the performance was at React's level, a first pass at Deku shows it as much preferable to React in terms of coder experience.
So far my experience is that
getting a SQL query correct is
fairly easy and usually fun
but that the real difficulty,
e.g., for SQL Server, is for the
rest:

(1) Installation.

Grim. Barbed wire enema.

Wiped out my Windows boot
partition requiring that I
reinstall everything starting
with the Windows DVD.

(2) Security.

The stuff with users,
logins, etc. and nearly
everything in SQL Server
Management Studio was
clear as mud. In the end:

(A) Assume that basically what
is there is essentially old
capabilities and access
control lists, imagine how
they might work, and make that
a first guess. It helped.

(B) Use SQL Server Management
Studio only for passively reading
but never for actual management
where change things.

(C) For each of the important
steps in setting up
security, do searches on the
Internet, find standard
text SQL statements, and
try those. Save and profusely
document the statements that do work.

(D) Do system management
only with SQL statements in
simple text files and executed
with the SQL Server
command line utility
SQLCMD.EXE.

(3) Connection String.

The last time I had to get
a SQL Server
connection string to work
took a solid week of
throwing things against
a wall to see if they would stick.
The effort was an
unanesthetized upper molar
root canal procedure.
I have no experience with Namecheap at all but it's definitely worth picking a good registrar. Before I moved to Hover, I had some domains at Gandi and some at 123-reg. My most important domain was knocked offline after 123-reg failed to renew it (they said they had renewed it, invoiced me for the renewal but then didn't renew it). It took them ~5 days to get it back. Up until that point, I'd never had any trouble with 123-reg (I thought they were fine - they did the job), but then I lost access to my main email account for 5 days.

It really pays to make sure you have a good registrar.
I am talking about the pricing model in particular though.

If your bar for evidence is that a human revival process has been shown to work, I don't think you'll see that for quite some time. But to say there's no evidence it can work is pretty out there... 10 years ago they vitrified a rabbit kidney, then warmed it up, and successfully transplanted it.

A kidney's a lot less complicated than the brain, and that was 10 years ago. The research has been pretty underfunded. If you'd actually like the field to progress and uncover evidence for or against the prospect of those who have been suspended up until now ever even having the slimmest chance of revival greater than that of cremation, maybe you should encourage legislation that lets them test on volunteering criminals heading for lethal injection or other end-of-life volunteers who don't want to be preserved but are happy to contribute to Science or large animals. Don't get squeamish over experiments like this: http://www.alcor.org/Library/html/bringingdixieback.html
Between Model S demand, Model X demand, and PowerWall oversubscription (the next two years already sold), I don't believe they'll need to consider dealerships for quite a bit.
They're built on-demand is there's very little inventory sitting around. Typically the service center here in Portland only has 10-15 on site for delivery.

At the pace they make changes to the car it really doesn't make sense for them to manufacture large batches and those not interested in waiting can pick up an inventory/CPO.

The other industry that's even worse at pricing is health care. Nearly every time I go in for something I'm either told it's covered, when it's not, or given a price that's completely wrong. My wife ends up spending 3 months after any medical procedure more than just a checkup fighting with billing departments and insurance.

If you are doing this verification on the client-side, you can restrict form submissions when a user enters a free email address like Gmail or Yahoo.

Here's a post I wrote with an implementation of this approach (specific to Marketo forms, but can be made generic for any form):

I would also recommend labeling the email address field on the form, "Work Email."

I think the insight point is valid, but I disagree with the approach I've seen instructors take in the past. I know in college we were always told we couldn't use Wikipedia, but what they should have taught us instead was to use Wikipedia similar to how we use Google: as a springboard to find the sources we should use and cite.
"Microsoft Edge is also 64-bit, not just by default, but at all times when running on a 64-bit processor."

After 32-bit Windows Server went away as of 2008 R2, I didn't expect MS to keep shipping 32-bit client for this long. Anybody have a convincing argument as to why? 16-bit legacy apps in large businesses?

Obviously it's not free to do this, especially since they'll be producing every patch for two PC platforms for probably another decade.
Agreed, there is real room for someone to do in-depth coverage of us, our product, and why we're so different from the rest of the companies in our industry.

The short answer is that it has to do with data. Rather than printing every document and storing it in a file cabinet, we normalize and structure it in our database, and then make it available to the various parties in the chain on a need-to-know basis. Remarkable how much more efficient that is than passing PNGs, PDFs, XLSs, and even paper documents off as the goods move.

"When you sign up for a passcard, your registrar will give you a secret key"

How is this decentralized if the registrar issues your secret keys for you? Couldn't they hijack your identity at any time?

It sounds more like a federated system of identity providers like OpenID.
At the point where you "will work with the favourited games", presumably for some take.

Further, regardless of how much you assure anyone, you've not even shown so much as a hint of an ui design. I have no idea what "everything i need to efficiently collaborate" is, and you are not doing a great job convincing me you know.

Lastly, your vocabulary, your writing style, and your phrasing all sound like a buzzword-worshipping middle manager trying hard to make a sale. It is hard for me to overstate just how untrustworthy that makes you sound.

Just to not leave you confused, here are the parts that make you sound as if you're trying very hard to pretend that you know what you're doing in order to pull a sale:

"our platform"
"a part of"
"I can assure"
"once it's ready"
"everything you need to efficiently collaborate"
"the crowd"

If you wish to be trusted, speak in simple and humble terms.
CarMax. CarMax's entire purpose is to sell cars without this bullshit. Their prices are on average higher than what you could get by negotiating with a dealership, but if you don't want to play these games, CarMax is for you. They'll also move cars around between their locations (for a fee) if you're looking for something obscure.

You're in luck. ES6 introduces quasi-literals which are multi-line and will do exactly what you want. You can even tag them to set up parsing.

jsx`<div><p>${hello_world}</p></div>`

I don't know why it'd be a better option. You're moving the time/cost of parsing client side and preventing minification. If you're going to do a build time parse, I don't understand what the extra quoting buys you.

That link isn't any better than the first. Passcard bills itself as a service for non-technical users. Any and all sign-up links should point to clear, easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Neither the Namecoin front page nor a wiki page about important Namecoin esoterica fit that bill. :)

Note: I'm not trying to shit on the project (just as I'm not trying to shit on your comment). I'm sure it was a substantial amount of work, and is at an early stage in its development. If, however, one is launching a project that has non-technical folks as its audience, appropriate documentation is just as important as the software.
It is disingenous in the extreme to ask, "So what’s all this talk about mutation and state? Well, who said you can’t have state in functional programming?" when the very first line of the very first hit on "functional programming mutation state" is the Wikipedia article on functional programming, which says:

"In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm—a style of building the structure and elements of computer programs—that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming

So the answer to the question "Who said you can't have state in functional programming?" is: "Every introduction to functional programming ever."

This is why people hate Haskell and make fun of Haskellers. In their quest to appear more clever than the rest of us, they engage in utterly disingenous rhetoric. Which is too bad, because I'm pretty sure they are actually more clever than the rest of us--certainly more clever than me--and don't need this nonsense.

Haskell is an amazingly cool language, and I've talked to people at meetups who are using it for interesting things, and learning a bit of it myself has been an interesting and educational challenge. But getting around to learning it took five years longer than it should have because I was so put off by the rhetorical nonsense the language community engages in.
The Haskell Wiki has what seems like a clean and efficient implementation:

I purchased a Lenovo laptop in December, and it was one of the ones with SuperFish. They refused to give me a refund, because it was outside of their 30 day refund policy. It would be impossible to get a refund for SuperFish because the info came out in February and they were only infecting systems between September and December.

However, there is a happy ending to this story. I went through my credit card company to get a refund, and it was taken care of no problem. The CC company was incredibly responsive and shocked about SuperFish.

I'm quite pleased, as SuperFish aside, this is the worst computer I've ever owned (Y50 UHD.)

It's a game. I think some dealerships, in some areas, secretly set prices? Most of my vechicle purchases have been under stress--I need a car for my commute Monday. All the stereotypes in buying a vechicle are correct.

Personally, I stay away from dealerships, and used car lots.

The only time I ever got a good deal at a dealerships is when I walked into a dealership on Van Ness Ave. There were all the usual cast of characters(Sales personnel). They were all checking out my friend. Yes--she is attractive, but they were like Wolfs. We were both hung over, and she needed a car for Monday. She has 20 grand she could spend. I used to sell cars in college, so I kinda knew the game. I told her we need to split up.

While they were fawning over my friend, I overheard a small fight in the back. A disgruntled guy came out and walked right over to me and said, "I hate this fu--ing place. I moving to Oregon tomorrow with my girlfriend." I called my friend over. The $22,000 black Honda she was about to buy was dropped down to 15,000 out the door with the assistance of the disgruntled salesman. The car was stolen a month later.

She ended up paying $25,000 for the same car at a different dealership. I sometimes wonder if I was conned with the fight in the back room, but it was a good deal? And the guy should go into acting--if it was all set up?

(I miss you WH! I wish we were still friends! My email is on the Internet.)
I have similar frustrations with most of Google's products. I hate the maps the most. Between the iOS and the web version, it can be so difficult to find the same data.
An interesting thing to me, is that car dealerships start off in what's usually the edge of town (where lot space is cheapest), but are usually the last thing to go when a city expands and the area around the car lot gentrifies. It's an odd effect, that I assume has to do with the dealership managing to keep its rent down by hook or by crook.

Most x86_64 and "Modern" ARM processors are actually a much more 80's-esque RISC processor with parallel instructions, pipelines, etc. The actual hardware binary assembly is actually a high level language the decoder/scheduler makes sense of.

Likely they developed a very fast, very efficient core dye. And just swapped decoders at the last minute. Its not much of a stretch that they'd develop the ARM set in parallel b/c of the high risk associated to doing anything with x86.
So it should be called the CA theorem, right? You can't choose partition-intolerance.
Yeah, it's got a completely different algorithm along the diagonal of the matrix. That's the O(m+n) algorithm. I still haven't been able to understand it.

But that's not the point. The point is that Haskellers have a hard time translating an algorithm that's right in front of them and instead of writing down an O(m*n) algorithm they instinctively do O(m^n). This whole "many-worlds" approach of the original article is also leading to a very inefficient algorithm.

The abstractions Haskellers prefer lead them towards slow code.
