I don't know Dylan, but compiling Ruby is a nightmare. As such it's also a fun challenge (working on "as static as possible" Ruby compiler).

Actually, compiling Ruby is not that bad, horrible grammar (from the perspective of having to write a parser - as a user o the language I like it) notwithstanding.

Compiling Ruby into efficient code is a nightmare.

The problem is largely that there's a total lack of delineation of application read/load time and runtime, coupled with the ease of being able to mutate the object model.

E.g. in theory on return from any method statement the entire world might have been transformed. 2 + 2 = 4 one moment, only for 2 + 2 to have side effects and return 5 the next...

The "quick and dirty" way of compiling Ruby is to accept that you'll need expensive dynamic message call invocations all over the place.

Optimizing beyond that is a lot of work to ensure you can handle it when people start playing silly games. The jRuby Truffle backend is probably the best bet at the moment (Chris Seaton who did the initial work on that is on HN). If I ever get that far with mine, I'll be stealing lots of ideas fro there...
Would you consider selling posters of that needle shot as a way to support you? I'd love to get a poster of that to hang and I'd love to be able to fund you doing more cool stuff (your channel is great).
Talking about unfamiliarity and specific needs: FPGAs are much better suited than CPUs for processing minimum-sized frames at wirespeed. They can still forward all unhandled frames to a CPU. Yes, it's a lot of development effort compared to a CPU-only solution, but considering all the kernel-optimizing-multicore-cleverness from OP I would say we are approaching the break-even point.

Right, but it's pretty clear from the paper that one major step forward would be for apps to check whether their keychain has been compromised.

This is something that apps can go forward with. But doesn't close the door if it was already opened.

Overall, this is just a brutal suite of bugs though, and a great paper.

I learned in Nutrition class that there are standard serving sizes for various types of food. I think it probable that the FDA requires companies to use those standard serving sizes, and forbids them from choosing arbitrarily small sizes like you fear.

For example, one serving of meat is about the size of a deck of cards. If a company sells a meat product the size of two decks of cards, the FDA probably requires that the product be labeled as containing two servings.
It also helps that even if you don't know the shorthand that, say, !py3 does a search of the python3 documentation, almost always you can type out the full name to do the search, e.g. !python3.

The bangs work any place in the string. They don't have to be a prefix.

In Firefox you have a dedicated search bar (ctrl-k) which remembers your search across locations. So you search for "heisenbug oracle ipv6" press enter and are not immediately happy about the precision of your search.

So you press ctrl-k again and append "!so". Bang, your previous search is now applied to stack overflow and you have your answer straight at spot 1.

It's a very good flow. It will never work in retarded browsers who insist on removing the search bar though (like Chrome, Safari, IE).

In a deeply misguided act of Chromeism, Firefox was considering going in that direction too, but the outrage in the userbase hopefully caused them to never venture that line of thought again.

Because most people have no idea that Africa is as large as it is due to the way we represent our planet's maps and globes.

Seriously have this conversation several times a year. People really think Greenland is almost as large as Africa. I than state that we can fit these countries into the area of Africa and people are shocked.

BTW US is the third largest geographical country in the world.
This is true for most businesses as well. I would also add that Delaware's SoS has taken a very service-oriented approach to incorporation within the state. For example, you can generally form entities in Delaware as late as 9PM EST (imagine making a non-IRS federal filing past 5:00!). That's just how seriously Delaware takes it.

Below it is suggested that Delaware is cheaper, in fact it can be much more expensive for this reason.
The FCC guy surprised us all though.
If this is how it works, you can check it on OS X by clicking each item in Keychain Access and looking at the Access Control tab or you can run `security dump-keychain -a` in terminal - it lists all keychain items and their access control lists. It's still a big and unwieldy list but not as bad as clicking each keychain item. Someone better at this stuff could probably think of a way to make it easier.

(This would only show if you've been exploited already, not that some app is capable of doing it.)

Deep learning is pretty old. People like Hinton, LeCun and Bengio have been working in the field for decades. From what I've read, Deep Learning has become popular because there is finally enough computing power to get it done.

It's kind of funny how, rightfully, the author paints a picture where the "horrible, enlightened external dependency" itself is antimodular to the T. Given that all modules supposedly have stable interfaces, documentation, tests, reasonable size, yada yada then one might expect that each of their dependencies takes advantage of these properties to maintain light and wonderful themselves.

Of course, this is a situation that's highly incompatible with C. Let's ditch that.

In ML modules are king. You probably make hundreds in any non-trivial program and the compiler will beat your ass if you muck up their interfaces. Anywhere. Packages are just sets of 3 public modules wrapped up in twine and a README file (coincidentally this is where "ownership and lifecycle" are managed, but, sorry, I'm going to ignore those for a moment).

This could be every bit as bad as I described before, but ML also realized that modules which just form a big dependency tree are actually quite annoying. The whole reason we define public APIs is so that there can be multiple satisficing inplementors, but this cannot be in 99% of module technologies today.

So ML has functors (not Haskell functors, certainly certainly certainly not C++ functors) which are "parameterized modules that actually work". One could distribute their command line parsing module with a pluggable serialization and a pluggable help display. See MirageOS for a giant example of this kind of system working out.

Does it really work?

Probably not. It's not in most maintainers DNA to functor-ize everything. It's even a significant challenge to do so since you need to define sufficient external and internal public APIs and it's a significant community effort to standardize these sufficiently so that there is significant chance of re-use.

But at least it's a way forward. Fight the heavy module trees. Let's use some higher order reusability.
Chrome automatically creates these for me, though. Start typing imdb.com, once it starts autocompleting, hit tab, then type whatever I want to search. I only have to go search there once. I've been using firefox and DDG lately and I really miss this.

The faceprint shoplifting example is, when duly considered, a frightening example straight from dystopian cyberpunk -- individuals automatically banned from jobs, stores, private facilities, public spaces -- forever, automatically, under an opaque corporate controlled consumer identification / credit system.

CRISPR for gene editing:

"Since 2013, the CRISPR/Cas system has been used for gene editing (adding, disrupting or changing the sequence of specific genes) and gene regulation in species throughout the tree of life. By delivering the Cas9 protein and appropriate guide RNAs into a cell, the organism's genome can be cut at any desired location."

I'm thinking more along the lines of collecting the info that google does, but not attaching it to people. Turn it into some sort of group profile that I can elect to be a part of for a particular search- so if I search 'mixers' as one group I get mozilla dev network results, and as a different group I get kitchen equipment, and as a still different group I get local singles' meetups. The difference in the last group is that I wouldn't also get numbers for local divorce lawyers showing up as ads.

I don't like repeating function calls, if logic calls for complex conditions (which I don't think the example does) I find it better to express them in new booleans before the if, keeping the logic contained there, and call them on a:

if(a) doSomething();

if(shouldDoSomethingElse) doSomethingElse();

kind of thing.

And I gave you links explaining the downsides. A calorie deficit diet does not guarantee fat-loss, it's more likely that your muscles break down before your fat. Your metabolism slows, making it even harder to lose weight, you'll be stuck in a vicious cycle. And finally, a big enough deficit can trigger starvation (medically) which tells your body to store fat as much as it possibly can. Meaning that as soon as you stop the diet, the weight will come right back, as fat. The proper way to lose weight is to increase the output (i.e. exercise) and eating more quality food. Not eating less.

I'm not against obtaining a calorie deficit because of more exercising or eating less sugar, I'm against having a calorie deficit diet by eating less, as the article suggests.

Hope I was more clear enough now.

You're simply trading one governments surveillance for another. The US isn't the only government conducting advanced surveillance.

Being based in the US is a dealbreaker because of US Surveillance.

Being based in the France is a dealbreaker because of French Surveillance.

Being based in the Germany is a dealbreaker because of German Surveillance.

Being based in the Japan is a dealbreaker because of Japanese Surveillance.

Being based in the Austrailia is a dealbreaker because of Canadian/US/UK/Austrailain/New Zealand Surveillance.

Being based in the Spain is a dealbreaker because of Spanish Surveillance.

The question is again, where exactly is government survailence not a deal breaker? Every country that is capable of it is doing it, and every country that is not capable has agreements with those that do.

One feature that would allow me to eventually move to DDG would be a "toggle" of sorts within my browser that would allow me to switch to DDG results (from Google).

Deciding before my query to use DDG is a hard habit/practice to employ. However, when shown results from Google, if DDG results were just a click away (maybe already rendered in another "tab") it would make A/B testing easier and seemless - which would be essential to eventually moving away and changing my "default" search engine.

Natural simply means 'existing in nature', which humans do. Human activity is, by extension, also natural. Ergo, partial hydrogenation is natural.

But implying that something that is natural (ie, not borne of human activity, per your usage) is by definition good is fallacy. Remember that Socrates (among other enemies of the Athenian state) died after drinking an infusion of hemlock.
OK, just look at USD/GBP conversion. I send BTC to someone in the USA from here in the UK. They convert via coninbase and have USD in their account almost immediately.

Alternatively I send a wire transfer to a US bank, now I have to pay a fee (around about £25 flat fee plus a % on the exchange rate conversion from USD to GBP, or I send it in GBP and let the receiver worry about converting it to USD). The wire transfer takes 5 days to acheive what was achieved using bitcoin in a matter of minutes.

So they are not the same service unless coinbase wants to take on the risk of paying out immediately in USD to the recevier and the wire transfer not arriving or of a change in the exchange rate that results in a loss for them as they receive less USD than the GBP they received. Also they have to eat the £25 wire transfer fee as the bitcoin transaction has no fees.

So ultimately the bitcoin based exchange is faster, cheaper and more secure than the legacy banking system wire transfer.

Yes coinbase could profit a small amount on exchange rate fee but that comes with accepting a significant amount of risk and making the process as long winded as the current wire transfer system is. The pointof this is that it all happens pretty immediately and at little cost.

This is how i imagine bitcoin will ultimately succeed, we wont use it in day to day transactions (with the exception of online purchasing) but it will underpin the transfer of fiat currencies from country to country or person to person.
