That is nice, you could operate it blind. Which oddly, enough is how car controls should be designed.

I have rented numerous cars where the touchscreen could not be deactivated, the most I could do was turn the brightness down. It should be a law that auto manufacturers have a symboled toggle to turn off the non-essential displays in a car.

You can't though, controls started going modal with screens even though they have buttons around 1997. The mode is cycled through using a button press in most devices, so you have to _look_ at it know what mode it is in. It would be o.k. if the mode selector switch was a toggle or to a lesser degree a rotor.

If you and I join forces, we can get the stack exposed in WASM2. Or we can run our WASM on WASM and hope the JIT can handle the inner interpreter.

Same. Maybe you just have to hijack them at ICFP.

If the no-go space is larger and easier to fall into, it makes sense to have a more detailed danger map. It might stop a lot of folks from even taking the journey, which unlike real journeys is proper choice. If you are making a DSL for your own enjoyment, don't transmute your joy into someone else's pain. If end users have real issues that your DSL will solve, by all means, make it.

What is the Young's Modulus of an analogy?

Computer tech folks have this stronger than healthy equation of new == good, old is wrong, needing replacement.

Just because we do something doesn't make a better idea than ideas we had in the past that are not being used. There are lots of dead great ideas.

This book, "The Psychology of Computer Programming" is by Gerald Weinberg, an author that really explores the design and complexity of systems. I recommend his other books, esp, "On the Design of Stable Systems : A Companion Volume to an Introduction to General Systems Thinking"

I think you are looking for WASM and it is doable today. WASM can target the JVM.

This was actually a case study from when Clarke was an MBA intern at Google.

This is an absolutely beautiful solution. Respect.

By the heat of the fire, and play their songs from LyreStore.

Floating plastic would go in the GyreStore.

If you had a bunch muck it would go in MireStore.

This would have been a godsend for managing inventory.

In a somewhat related idea, is that of unioning the footprint of alternate parts in a PCB design so that either part could be used. I have never used any high in EDA software, but if you had end to end design, schematic, pcb layout and parts databases with high level machine-readable symbolic pin descriptions, these could be inferred automatically (unioned footprints).

Using your idea, I wonder if you could automatically have "hot standby" components in the same package?

> And the innovation never comes from the chip companies, it comes from companies that are building the products.

I agree with you.

Eng has really got to stop thinking they are the source of ideas, most good ideas come from customers that have needs that can't be currently met. Eng balances design constraints, as companies grow, hierarchies get stronger and creativity drops. Maximum innovation comes from small companies solving customer (the ones building the products) problems.

The Jelly Bean chip business could get disrupted by the proper mix of analog and digital. The PSoC [1] was almost but not quite there

Are you attempting to confuse the conversation with facts?

Do we need an anonymous but authenticated web of trust system for analyzing/debunking papers? Is it apparent to those in the field that these results are low quality / junk science?

How does one detect junk science paper other than being skilled enough to have produced the bad science if the first place?

Setup is orthogonal to understanding and learning, leave it for extra credit or an optional follow up exercise. It will lose or distract many students.

Mentioned elsewhere in the thread but take a look at Hy Lang, a lisp that compiles down to Python.

That is a pretty good deal.

Couldn't you fuse this extra fact into a kalman filter?

Air tools should only be used for removal. Using an impact wrench for putting on nuts causes cross threaded and broken studs.

Some shops do it, but you shouldn't go to them.

A tar is a linked list of file paths and contents, it cannot be indexed to a particular file. A compressed tar has to first be decompressed and then the chain of links traversed. Accessing a file in compressed tar is o(n) with where the file is placed within the compressed tar stream.

It isn't that it is possible, it is that is horribly inefficient.

Zips on other hand unify storage and compression such that one has random access to particular file, hence most modern file formats are zips with xml or json inside.

Tarballs don't have a TOC and can't easily index into individual entities.

One could create a utility to make tarballs with a TOC and the ability to index while still remaining compatible with tar and gzip. Pigz is one step in the direction.

I should have been clear, I am only critiquing the presentation, not the content. The content is stellar.

This is not good, the info density for the screen area is too low. This could have been one maybe two screens worth. Is this the credits to Friends? Am I consuming Lisp Content while chillin in my penthouse on my 20k couch using a gold plated IPad X Tablet?

Millennials are Killing Common Lisp.

The ethical choice is for AWS and Google to collude and both allow signal to continue to using domain fronting.

That is what I am saying. Trying to coordinate a group is a losing proposition where it descends to LCD. Flocking vs herding, flock for discovery, herd for safety.

Or a music festival where multiple conflicting acts are playing. Getting more than 2-3 to agree on a thing to attend is a nightmare and it just descends into sitting in the beer garden listening to whatever.

I had a key fail on a less than one year old touchbar MBP, corp had to swap out the whole laptop, with the old one going back to apple for repair. Ridiculous that you can't pop off the keys and fix them. 2015 was the last good year for MBP so far. My 2012 era machines are still running perfectly.
