Yeah it's a ground station application. So it isn't running on any embedded hardware. We'd have done something different for that.

Performance isn't the only thing we are considering. We want to get improved performance, but our old analysis code was extreemly hard to maintain, so that went into the decision as well. Honestly, I'd probably pick another language, but I wasn't on the project when it started.

I personally would have liked to do this with F# because of how functional it is at it's core, but that's cuz we have a lot of Microsoft expertise in house.

Also one thing with the engineering apps is that anything where engineers (not software engieners) don't have to learn a new language is going to be an easier sell.
Is there a recent md5 of the current state of chain world ?

I would like to see a diary of world events expressed as a blockchain - forks and all.

Is this at least within Redstone's capabilities ?

In each world a cave where the veil grows thin and it is possible to pass through the network to another world, on a different branch.

Easily managable with .git - once you know the way in.

Nodes can be distributed, via flashdrive, dead-drop or bitbucket.

A entire networked system of planets and moons with mineable blockchains.

You can't take my sky from me.
I was reading about the differences between CLDCs and FPGAs and got curious: why are CLDC offers so much simpler than FPGAs? Considering the same technology and feature sizes, I'd expect CLDCs, since they lack the reconfigurability of FPGAs, to be able to hold more complex designs.
Google ATAP - Welcome to Project Soli
I would rather they raise the price of the service than have them add ads. Is that what you mean?

I also wouldn't have a problem with it if they made these optional to help you "find" new Netflix content. It was already bad enough they were splashing their series at the top of my list, and now they want to add ads for it?
Perhaps all the books are shrink-wrapped to hold them shut.
I don't know what you inferred from the wiki article, but of course "to fit a gaussian" is to find the parameters describing it, in this case mean and variance.

Look at the "Techniques", the first three are :

"Parametric methods, by which the parameters of the distribution are calculated from the data series.[2] The parametric methods are:
method of moments
method of L-moments[3]
Maximum likelihood method[4]"

which if you work them out you get exactly what you'd expect.
No malloc/free necessary. Just pile up nodes on a stack, then "deallocate" to any saved position.
>make energy cheap enough and we can desalinate enough water to re-green the Sahara desert

So all we're waiting for is "power too cheap to meter", eh? :D

Planting trees can also green deserts[1], and does so without perpetual future energy inputs from desalination. This makes sense when you realize that plants cause rain.[2] The reverse is also true - cutting down forests creates deserts.

A lot of the prices of pieces of fine art aren't just tied to the aesthetics, but have to do with artifacts that are scarce and desirable. An Apple I isn't really desirable as a computer, but because it's an Apple I, made by Woz at that time and hard to get. A Nintendo World Championship cartridge might sell for $100,000, but it's due to the same factors, not that people really want to play a game they could still play on an emulator. First editions of novels and other rare books and rare vinyl albums are the same way. It's not just the content of the thing, it's the scarce desirable artifact that holds that content.
I found out around the same time as you that I was a victim of identity theft. I live in S.F. and this punk lives in Las Vegas Nevada.

The person(s) in question opened several accounts using my Social # and my name. They applied for loans and linked all these accounts back to the same address in Las Vegas.

I am in the process of fighting it. You need to go here and do what they say https://www.identitytheft.gov/ (FTC sponsored site.).

I suggest you go to https://www.identitytheft.gov/ and complete the FTC affidavit. Once you have done that take it with you to the Police Department in your area and have a police report filed.

I live in S.F. and the police department seemed perturbed to have to make a police report for me - the amount of information I provided created too much paperwork for them I think. They stated many times they aren't the ones who would be investigating it and asked if I still want to file a police report - to which my answer was YES ITS REQUIRED BY THE FTC.

I have found resistance throughout the entire process, from the crediting agencies to the businesses that had the accounts in collections all the way to the collection agencies and the Police. They all assume you are FOS.

The burden is completely on you and likely nothing positive will happen for a while.

After paying $1 to get my TransUnion credit report they gave me identity theft insurance (through TransUnion) which covers certain expenses... so save all your receipts and file a claim against that insurance to get your money back. I'm using this to get reimbursed for all the trips and time spent away from work as well as the expenses of using FedEx's services/computers to get the fax work done.

You need to check your Social Security account to make sure it has not been compromised. http://www.ssa.gov/ DO THIS BEFORE you place a credit alert on your accounts or you will not be able to accss your SSA account online and you will need to go to a brick/mortar location to gain access to this information. Once a credit alert is placed on your account you are one step closer to being safe... so do this right away.

A few key pieces of information you are going to need is
- Dates of all fraudulent transactions,
- Phone numbers tied to the account,
- Addresses tied to the account

You are going to need to provide proof it was not you - so you need some sort of transactional proof that you were NOT in Brazil using a credit card. Anything can help here - bills paid, rent, etc... I only hope that the period in question was long enough to show that you could not have possibly been out of the country for that long.
The great thing is that we have a really good product. I am saying this objectively and not out a creator's bias. If we can pull off another 4-6 months, the entire thing will work like a dream. And there is little coming in our way, considering that the product we've made is superior to many by global standards. That coupled with the fact that the Indian market lags by a year or two gives us a real head-start here.

This makes folding cards not just hard, but rather imprudent. Especially considering how startups with much less to show for than us are running around with so much money.
Hm, yeah, that would be a cool thing to publish separately. The MIDI mapping code is pretty much isolated to these two objects [1] [2], but I'd have to do a little thinking about how people would want to use it, and separating it from Backbone would take some work.

It's possible. Years ago I knew a few security folks who were moonlighting as independent security consultants. They did an assessment of a financial institution, caused some downtime, and there was a lawsuit. Turns out they hadn't incorporated and it was pretty terrible for them.

This looks similar to coach.me, aside from the "hire a coach" aspect. Or, am I missing something?
I haven't read the paper, but according to the article, "The treatment, known as immunotherapy, uses the body's immune system to attack cancerous cells." Rather than trying to kill the cancerous cells, the drugs allow your body to attack the tumors.

To give some background, your own body already tries to kill cancerous cells through cytotoxic t cells. The tumors that get serious are the ones that escape the immune system. However, strengthening the immune system has its own problems, since it can attack your own cells (autoimmune diseases), or cause other problems (like Crohn's disease).

So I'd imagine the cancer cells probably won't get immunity to the drugs, but other serious side effects could come from the treatment.

I thought it was the greatest game ever made at the time. However, it was too easy to optimize and win. If I ever decided to create a game, I was definitely going to do something along the lines of a programmable battle simulator.
This is a long winded way to say that I'm VERY glad to see Zachtronics making games which assume there is a market for gamers who enjoy programming. I hope to see more like this in the future.
Side note: Just purchased this on Steam. Looking forward to cracking it open.
"In math and engineering, recursion, especially, is a big win. Inductive proofs are wonderfully short. In software, a problem that can be solved by recursion is nearly always best solved that way."

I don't make use of recursion very often but this statement doesn't sound right to me. Actually the opposite seems right. If you read the chapter on recursion from Concrete Mathematics (I'm thinking about the The Tower of Hanoi, Lines in the Plane and The Josephus Problem here, it seems obvious that a closed form is much faster, simpler and according to the blog post more beautiful. Does anybody with more extensive knowledge on the topic care to comment on this?
I'm guessing it cost $19,995, incidentally.
One could argue that the TSA checkpoints benefit overall airport efficiency. Optimizing for flow of millions of people per day, it makes sense to funnel through predetermined pipelines. This way passengers enter the terminal at a constant rate.

It's not "crazy", it's basically just double buffering, a technique that has been around for a very long time.
This sounds like another completely pointless PR stunt to fool people into thinking Facebook gives a shit about their privacy.
Knowledge as a Financial Asset
The feature is called VMCS shadowing. Wikipedia's description cites an Intel whitepaper (https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/docum...) which describes how it's intended to help with the case of using McAfee's Deep Safe hypervisor (which does basically the same thing as this Kernel Guard, but for Windows) nested inside of Xen.
Haven't checked out either site, but nothing wrong with a little competition.
I don't know how much of that $3 million is profit, but you could possibly sell that off at a price-point of around $2,5 million, allowing the investor to make $500,000 simply by carrying the risk.

Bankers sell debt off all the time and in your case, you will simply be selling off future earnings at a discounted rate.

You have to be really savvy about how you structure it though and not take it on as a loan of any sort.

You mentioned to someone else how notoriously difficult it is to get payments from the building industry, which is probably a red flag that the bankers are indirectly hinting at you (and something you need to always structure your business around).
I think giving app developers a market is part of why Win10 is free.
Interesting point on the perspective of "this is true". Does that mean creationism would be an acceptable topic if not presented in the context of "this is true"?

I think the problem with creationism is that even though there may be some select science used as part of the theory, it quickly tends to then be used to state that because "this is true" (assumed but unproven truth) therefore this religious doctrine must also be true. I think that is somewhat implied even if not stated and that becomes an issue.

Otherwise, there really isn't much of a distinction between creationism and theories that the entire universe is a sophisticated computer simulation. They are both forms of intelligent design.
The public trading companies worry me less than government. "We disrupted the shit out of that education system, left a smoking wreck, but we walked away with a cool billion, so who cares?"
Ada have a CSP model too, just fyi.

It's a mature language. You can look into that?

Yeah. Because that's what it is.

For board games maybe. This is a video game, a different medium, and it doesn't work that way. The player can and will do anything the game program allows them to do.
Thank you.. for me React/Flux and the like just felt better than Angular 1.x while being fast enough. The tooling and support for something like Polymer just doesn't fit as well.

React with a flux-like flow is simply easier to reason with... When I've used Angular, I always hit points of frustration or weirdness that simply didn't make sense... the more advanced bits of React are less surprising in my mind. It's a shift in thinking about larger component based applications.

It's also worth noting that Angular was started some time ago in 2009 and likely in development farther back than that... this is before CommonJS or AMD were widespread, and jQuery was a rising star. This is very much reflected in Angular 1.x.

React is a different approach with a slightly more functional mindset (though I'm still not 100% sold on the structure). With a flux-like workflow, it's very easy to reason/structure your events and data.. yes events take some extra declaration, but your workflows become a lot easier.
It's kind of a shame that you don't hear more about forth.
If your major was economics then you know perfectly well how misleading it is to take ML's total revenue as the comparison point for an $11m fine for activity that was linked to a tiny fraction of that total that went to a particular trading unit.
I've been writing a Forth Interpreter over the past weeks as a way to learn Rust. It's very motivating how quickly a working prototype can be whipped up; once the data structures are worked out it's basically done. There's a quiet beauty and elegance to Forth code that I can't really find anywhere else. At the same time, it's often frustratingly crufty.

While this is pretty much the Ur-example of faulty software design causing human injury, the fact is that the entire system failed. Had the Therac-25 not removed the hardware interlocks of the Therac-20, the accidents would've been much less likely to occur.

I also think that we should be careful in trying to draw too much caution in what we do from this accident--the majority of software (EHR systems, apps, etc.) being developed in the medical field today would not be served by the sort of scrutiny that would've prevented this accident.

In fact, one could (and I will) make the argument that simply having faster release cycles and better customer interfacing (instead of, say, custom consulting work coughEpiccough) would cause a better increase in quality than some insanely rigorous pile of paperwork.
I'm just curious but doesn't US citizen have to pay tax regardless of where they work?

People from SF moving to SG to work would be double tax no? That would also be a big hindrance imo.

Plus there are more than enough decent tech job in USA than risk working in another country with laws you don't know or understand. SG seems like a country with very harsh laws, not entirely sure I want to risk accidentally break something law (like chewing gum?).
It happened a lot more in the beginning :-)

Yes! You're doing it!
Lovely. So now software defects can directly affect product lifetime. Just the thing I need for something that has to live in the field for 15 years.

Well at least I know one more company whose products I should avoid.
What's the point? They still have pretty low monthly bandwidth limits, right?
Sorry for my ignorance, but the languages other than C that I've used are javascript, python, various lisps, bash, sql, prolog, etc.: no pointers! I'm interested to learn how pointers might be made safe, in Nim or anywhere else?
"Use to" can be correct, e.g. "Didn't we use to go to the same school?" The tense of "use" should match the tense of the predicate.
Just looking at that site now and how they pitch their product, I would say the difference is in how specific things are.

Their example says "Get fit", whereas in Streaks you would have a task "Walk 5,000 Steps"

I take your point, but I have been interviewed with the "pair programming" concept and found it much easier.

It also tells the interviewer how you really interact with a computer.

I find the whiteboard stressful. I'm tempted to use short variable and function names to save writing. I can't easily insert more lines of code. The code tends to get cramped and illegible.

In a text editor I'm more likely to make huge changes as the concept evolves.

A significant proportion of good programmers use vi or emacs. I realize there are outliers who just have to have Sublime Text set up the right way.
This is some glass-houses logic right here, given that you're attempting to leverage trivially-falsifiable assertions in order to profile pcwalton as a Nim hater with a personal vendetta. In the meantime you have yet to actually address his criticisms, which, to reiterate, indicates that you're trying to shut down critics via deflection.

(I suppose, in the future, pcwalton should just generate a throwaway before commenting on Nim.)
