I was almost afraid no one else thought this way. This just makes JavaScript illegible, and adds a negligible number of new features. The only JS I'm ever going to write is ES5, at this point, because the difference between

function Person(){
this.age = 0;
setInterval(() => {
this.age++;
}, 1000);
}

and

function Person(){
this.age = 0;
var my = this;
setInterval(function(){
my.age++;
}, 1000);
}

are barely visible, but the second one is actually legible. Why are we arrowing in nothing into curly braces? Oh, it's actually a function. Great.
Yes, this is for self-driving cars.

I think you under-estimate the numbers of cars on the road.

I don't remember the exact throughput used for the video, but I think it was around 5500. On a equivalent road the minimum distance between two cars is about 2 seconds. That gives a throughput of 1800 cars per road per lane (3600/2). For two lanes (resembling the one used in the video) this would give a absolute maximum throughput of 3600 roads per hour.

Which means that our system, with about 5000 cars per hour, give a much higher throughput than the maximal on a standard highway.

All the details is in the thesis (link in the url, or https://highwayflocking.github.io/Flocking_for_Road_Traffic_...).

Concepts are understood in contexts. Everyone involved in this context is American, so it's natural for slavery here to be viewed through an American context. In that context, slavery is inherently racist.

After all, it's not like Moldbug's writing shies away from this idea.

> Not all humans are born the same, of course, and the innate character and intelligence of some is more suited to mastery than slavery. For others, it is more suited to slavery. And others still are badly suited to either. These characteristics can be expected to group differently in human populations of different origins. Thus, Spaniards and Englishmen in the Americas in the 17th and earlier centuries, whose sense of political correctness was negligible, found that Africans tended to make good slaves and Indians did not. This broad pattern of observation is most parsimoniously explained by genetic differences.
Many also get drastically overfunded, and the creators totally go off the rails with grandiose plans, instead of following their original, achievable goals.

I visited China for the first time last year. I went to Guangzhou with a friend of mine. My friend from there left to study in the US in 2010, and he could barely recognize his own city with all the new districts and buildings.

I ultimately came to the conclusion that the growth in China is real, unlike how it's routinely described in the news in the US. Though I did meet an Irish business owner (who lived there for nearly two decades) who expressed doubt that these buildings would ever be filled to sufficient capacity. Ultimately we don't have access to all of the data which would shed light on China's current affairs.

Regardless, I live in the Boston area now. The MBTA is a complete embarrassment compared to what is in Guangzhou. Even so, the MBTA is purchasing the next supply of Red Line trains (which are several decades old now, and routinely breaking down) from China. It's been planned for several years, yet it's still going to take until 2017 to get these trains rolling in Boston!

Even if the doomsayers are correct and the Chinese economy crashes in the next year or so, it should be noted that (a) this would be a global economic recession and that the US would not be immune to this (since many of the buildings in China are funded by Wall Street speculators), (b) they have the capital to actually help their recovery (as opposed to the bulimic fiscal policy we had in 2008 and still have in the US today, funding billion-dollar military campaigns and social programs created with the 1930's and 1960's in mind, while routinely gutting our own tax revenue), and (c) they'll have already built a modern infrastructure to empower their recovery (instead of the US's aging infrastructure that nobody want to pay to fix).

Adam, Thingsquare CEO here.

The Thingsquare platform connects products with smartphone apps, which is similar to what many other platforms do, including HomeKit, Brillo, and Parse's IoT platform. Unlike other platforms though, Thingsquare allow secure remote access even for products that aren't always in range of WiFi or BLE. We're using a self-healing wireless mesh so that products can cover large installations and work nicely even in places with poor WiFi.

Help with implicit conversions is ultimately the killer feature for IDEs in Scala. The language itself is littered with them, (take a look at StringOps and StringLike), and type classes are used all over many libraries.

The simpler the language, the easier it us to use it well without an IDE. I love Scala, but I'd never call it simple.

You have a point but you mention C#, it's worth thinking of how you'd handle one of the examples in C#:

items
.filter(isOk)
.map(toOtherType)
::flatten()

In C# that sort of case is primarily handled by extension methods. They have their issues not least in terms of collisions, but to me they are a beautiful solution. The equivalent in JS would seem to be the always unpopular choice of adding these methods to the prototype, and as with extension methods you'd want the user to opt-in to their addition (possibly at object level here?).

Not sure though, maybe I've missed something.

BitTorrent received $41M in VC funding, and is free, does not collect data, and is not centrally controlled. They monetize through content distribution software integrations, business software, a search engine, and an ad supported Torrent client. I imagine OpenBazaar will monetize in similar ways.

At a high level, the architecture seems to be very similar to Druid, although the Pinot team has yet to release more technical information about the project. Druid is farther along in terms of development, community, adoption, and scale. It is curious why the team choose to rebuild the architecture versus just using Druid.

First of all, the browser environment is the asynchronous part here, not JavaScript. JavaScript is a language that happens to be interpreted on top of that environment. You'd run into similar issues with any other language over an asynchronous execution model.

Second, you can actually execute browser and node code deterministically if you like, by providing alternative implementations of setTimeout, setInterval, setImmediate, etc. that serialize execution of the callbacks in the order of your choice.
We are absolutely not using terms like "police-free". Others have labelled us as such.

Does this do any better than a markov chain?
"Jack of all trades, master of none" applies to situations where the trades are not terribly related to each other. Beyond a certain basic level of knowledge that applies to everything, being a good plumber isn't going to contribute to your being a good farmer, which won't contribute to your being a good therapist. To be sorta good at all those things and others besides requires that you can not have put in the time to master any of them.

Programming languages are different. For one, they all run on the same hardware. For another, the basics of logic and such are the same. And for the coup de grace, we have the well-known acecdata that learning a language of a significantly different paradigm than your "main" language generally improves your ability to program in your "main" language, to the point where I and others routinely recommend to people that they learn (or implement!) other language paradigms as a routine, expected part of their programming career. Learning Haskell to the point you can effectively use it can and will improve your PHP.

In the programming field, I don't think you can be a master programmer without being a fairly effective polyglot, as a bare minimum requirement. That is, if someone claims to be a master but they only have fluency in one language, even if that language is C++ or something, I would not consider them a "programming" master, only a C++ master.
>> But equally the non-violent public do not deserve to face potential threats to their life and violent coercion in routine interactions with law enforcers.

It is really not "the public" at large, at least not in many cases. The police seems to be profiling and directing excessive force towards non-Caucasians, as it was so obvious in the shocking incident in Texas.

This case, which sort of crystallized the problem, all started with a typical overweight Walmart white-trash female attacking a group of noisy (?) children in the pool.

For the outsider, the US looks a very unpleasant place to be if you're not white. Not to mention the huge incarceration rate for minor offenses, and the proportion on non caucasians there.

I used to come to the US at least once a year, staying for up to 2-3 weeks on holiday. I haven't in a long time, and I will probably not anytime soon.

It's increasingly becoming a sad and scary place.
(Disclosure: one of the authors of Ramda here, so I may well be biased toward a very different approach.)

This is an interesting approach, but I get caught right at the beginning, where you say "What you'd really want to do is this:

items
.filter(isOk)
.map(toOtherType)
.flatten()

But what I really want to do is build a reusable function:

var process = seq(filter(isOk), map(toOtherType), flatten);

So I can at my leisure call

process(items);

Or later put `process` in another sequence, or do something like:

map(process, groupsOfItems)

And I don't see that Trine helps with that. Am I missing the way to use Trine to build functions, or do I simply have to wrap up a Trine construct in a function that takes a parameter, does its Trine magic, and returns that result?
I don't even disagree with you. It's just that my perception of "caring about something" differs from yours. My point being, building a search engine can be done (and done well) with little resources. For comparison: Apple makes about as much profit per hour as DDG had in (total) funding. And (assuming an average tenure of 5 years), Apple hires three times the amount of people a day that make the DDG team. ^1

My argument, thus, goes as follows: If, as a company, you care about something only so little that you are not willing to invest an hours' worth of profit, you probably don't care about it at all. I don't fault Apple for not caring about privacy. Few companies do. I fault them for posing as caring about privacy when their behaviour clearly demonstrates that they care very little.

1: Yes, Apple's hires won't probably have the same skill set as the DDG team. And yes, scaling a search engine from 9M queries a day to what Apple Search would be hit with would take a fair bit of effort. I'm trying to illustrate a point here, so just bear with me ;-)

Hambeast has to be about the least perjorative insult ever used on reddit though. If you're going to police insults then doesn't it seem a strange place to start? Wouldn't you if instigating a new policy disallowing insulting language give a warning that this was about to happen and then expect to apply the policy equally??

Neckbeard seems to be a very similar level of insult (ie mild and related to appearance) and that is widespread. Actually just calling someone "ugly" seems more offensive than either of these.

Reddit certainly have a legal right to censor whatever they wish on the site but I feel they have a responsibility to the community not to do it in an arbitrary or disproportionate way.
Can you give more details? What year? This could be more recent.
A majority of users? Please, Reddit has ~16M unique users per month. I really don't think 8M people hate Ellen Pao. Hell, I doubt more than 0.1M users know who she is.

There's no denying this is the biggest (and frankly hilarious to watch unfold) shitstorm in Reddit's history, but it is a vocal minority. There were only 5k subscribers to /r/fatpeoplehate. It was a silly move to ban it, because its clearly pissed off more than 5k people, but make no mistake, most of Reddit doesn't care.

I can assure you my story is accurate. The interviewers do not make decisions regarding the entire hiring event but they do give feedback regarding how you did in each interview. I was given poor feedback due to, according to him, a zero tolerance like policy where the data model for that particular question had to be complete and I was unable to complete it.

That was my first technical interview over the phone so it was pretty obvious it was related to that single interview. One of the Googlers I knew that checked the system said the same.

> What incentives are there for legitimate business to sell on OpenBazaar, as opposed to remaining on 'traditional' web channels (e.g. their own websites, Amazon).

Traditional marketplaces take a cut of the transactions, and monitor the data of their users. A decentralized marketplace has no middleman to take a cut or monitor the data. It's removing an intermediary entirely; trade is directly between the buyer and seller (with a voluntarily chosen third party, if they so chose).

I hope the FTC doesn't try to enforce consumer laws on an investment site. In the article they even refer to the contributors to the game as "consumers" which I think is a mistake. Anyone contributing to a Kickstarter project is investing and as such has to expect the possibility of a complete loss of funds. Of course, a site like this will attract scammers and the FTC should investigate fishy cases when the principals just take the money and run but that scam is older than capitalism.
Kickstarter and especially Indiegogo are so full of scams, it's ridiculous. And people keep funding them. Makes it all the harder for legitimate projects.

All systems destroy. Destruction is a natural phenomenon. The difference is that capitalism creates more than it destroys, and (empirically) creates more than any other economic system.

Although cost/benefit varies based on who is doing the programming. As someone who hasn't worked in CL, debugging CL is going to take an order of magnitude longer than debugging python.
You're obviously right but could this sort of case not be handled by future versions of JS allow clients to opt in to the prototype being modified, something equivalent to extension methods in .NET where if a client wants to use them they import the associated namespace?
I really like this proposal. It's basically the best of all current dependency tools - you get reproducibility without needing external configuration files, without hugely long vendor import statements, and still supporting raw go-get.
