I think you'll get periodic waves of re-invention as culture changes. AOL (1991) begat Yahoo (1995, with peak culture around 1998) begat Facebook (2004) begat WhatsApp (2009) & Instagram/SnapChat (2011). In the meantime there were plenty of niche subcultures as well: UseNet, Geocities, Xanga, EZBoard, LiveJournal, Second Life, Secret, etc. The center of gravity might be moving overseas now as the Chinese middle-class develops: Asian mobile messengers are often bigger than their U.S. counterparts.<p>It's all part of every generation's prerogative to say that their predecessors are old-fogies who don't get it. If you're lucky enough to catch the next wave (which I'm guessing will be in 2018, based on past patterns), there's probably another billion-dollar business in there.

yes, I'm aware of this (I studied under Noller who worked with Woese on this).<p>To do broad genomic analysis, you don't need any <i>markers</i> at all. markers are effectively pre-genomic sampling technology. You can obtain the rRNA without doing genomic sequencing. That's far cheaper and faster.<p>What you meant by "markers" are really "gene regions", and my point is that if you use 1% of the gene regions it's not genomic. And, further, the set that you want to compare is much larger than the ribosomal RNA. It should include the entire set of highly conserved genes that are common to all organisms, and even include a number of less conserved genes.

"To be sure, the numbers outside the Bay Area are still relatively small. More capital was invested in Bay Area startups in the first three months of the year—$1.7 billion—than Boston and New York combined."<p>Have we seen anything to confirm that this statistic will change in the next 5-10 years? Boom and busts are quite normal but maybe the real-estate market will make this slowdown permanent? Is that with precedent?

In my own experience, nil basically only shows up when I've failed to initialize something (like forgetting to loop over and make each channel in an array of channels), or when returning a nil error to indicate a function succeeded. I've never run into other interfaces being nil, but I also haven't worked with reflection and have relatively little Go experience (~6 months).<p>The code that I've written regularly uses interfaces and pointers, but I'd guess 80% works directly with values.

This looks very slick. However, as others have said, uploading all source code to your servers is a pretty serious issue when working on anything other than open source projects.<p>Also, when asking about editors while signing up, you listed "XCode". That's not the correct spelling, it should be "Xcode" (lowercase c). Also, you should allow for selecting multiple languages/editors. I selected Swift/Xcode because that's my day job, but I also use Swift/Vim in some cases, and I use Vim for languages other than Swift/Obj-C. In fact, I'm guessing Kite won't be nearly as useful for Swift/Xcode as it would be for other languages, because Xcode already provides a lot of this functionality (e.g. intelligent code completion and quick help for any API).

Also plain legal implication. Our code could contain some protected information (transient debugging code mostly) and it is illegal to transmit it to a third party first because of DNA our company has signed, and then with regards to data protection act (credit card information, name, address).<p>At the very least, the service would need to be validated quite extensively.

I've wondered if a "guaranteed basic goods" systems might make sense, either as an alternative to a basic income system, or as a way to slowly transition to one.<p>The idea would be that as we figure out how to automate things, we make those things essentially public goods. We end up with a mixed economy, where we have one class of goods that are produced in publicly owned automated factories and do not cost the consumer money, and another class of goods that work like they do now where private parties produce them and sell them for money which the buyers earn through paid employment.<p>For instance, consider vegetables. We're close to being able to make almost fully automated farms for many crops, and we're close to fully automating most of the shipping from farm to market. The idea would be that as we achieve this, the government buys up these farms (or starts its own farms), and everyone gets a daily allotment of the produce from these farms. Some meat production is also highly automated, and so we should be able to at some point in the not too distant future add meat to this.<p>At that point everyone who has a place to cook has their basic food requirements taken care of.<p>How about transportation? Automobile manufacture is very automated. At some point that too will be almost completely automated. Combine that with self-driving cars, and we should be able to have a publicly owned nationwide fleet of self-driving taxis. Ideally these would be electric cars, powered by publicly owned solar, wind, hydroelectric, or nuclear systems.<p>As automation gets more and more advanced, more and more goods can be added to the "made by publicly owned automated factories" list and made available to all.<p>When enough stuff is automated and turned into public goods to allow someone to survive reasonably without a job as long as they have housing, we can start making publicly owned housing in places where land and construction costs are cheap. That will be away from the big cities, but for people who decide to not work that would be fine, as it would for people who can work remotely. So we should be able to reach a point where everyone can have a basic apartment or small house and the necessities to survive reasonably there, without an income.<p>Will we ever be able to automate everything except creative intellectual work? I don't think so, at least not for a long time. I think that would require the development of something like the robots from Asimov's stories--robots that have human form factors (so that they can work anywhere that a human can work) and human level intelligence, and I don't think we'll be there anytime in the next 100 years.<p>A nice thing about this approach is that it can be done with minimal disruption. With basic income you have to give everyone enough to reasonably survive right from the start. With basic goods, you go item by item, industry by industry.

Aside from trivial types, like strings or integers, how does the language know how to sort a list of values, if you don't tell it how to?<p>Translate this into whatever language you like:<p><pre><code> Machine {
Name string
OS string
RAM int
}
</code></pre>
You have 3 places that want to sort a list of machines, one by name, one by OS, and one by RAM. You're telling me there's a language that can do that without having to write some kind of code like this for each?<p><pre><code> sort(machines, key: Name)
</code></pre>
I don't understand how that's possible, but I welcome your explanation.

There are ways to make perfectly secure (from a mathematical standpoint) backdoors. Theoretically, there is no reason that every encryption couldn't have a second key known to the government that doesn't weaken the encryption by any significant standard.<p>The problem is about trusting the government, which can mean (at least) two things. Either you don't trust them to use the key properly. Which is a valid concern. Or you don't trust them to keep their official backdoor key secure. Which is also valid, secure data is stolen all the time and we can't even be sure that they'd notice or admit if it did get stolen.<p>Again, the technical challenge here is that in the real world keys can be stolen. The "system" can be secure from non-government actors even if the system comes installed with a backdoor that the government has access to. The weakness isn't in the theoretical "system", it is in the fact that now instead of one point of weakness (you yourself protecting your own key) there are two real-world points of weakness (your key and the government's key). The "system" is still impregnable to the same types of attacks, but now rather than tricking you out of your key someone might be able to trick the government out of theirs too.

byName is a type. It's a named type based (likely) on a slice of machines. The byName type implements the functions necessary to support the interface that the sort.Sort function requires:<p><pre><code> type byName []Machine
func (b byName) Len() int { return len(b) }
func (b byName) Swap(i, j int) { b[j], b[i] = b[i], [b[j] }
func (b byName) Less(i, j int) { return b[i].Name < b[j].Name }
</code></pre>
sort.Sort takes an interface type that has the methods Len, Swap, and Less, as defined in the signatures above, and uses them in a sorting algorithm which sorts the values in-place.

I have used JSON types in Postrgres for a little while now, they're pretty great! I can't really see a downside, is there a disadvantage to this kind of setup?<p>In our use case there were very clearly parts of the data that were relational and other parts that were better represented as unstructured. Postgres gave us the chance to do both in one place and worked really well for that purpose, good to see it getting even better.

I did not ask you to explain anything. I said your explanation is not representative of what is happening. And the clear evidence is the paper in question. Read the "retraction". They do not suggest the bimodal distribution is incorrect, but that they should not have suggested it was inherent and unchangable, when the evidence does not support that.

>Is compilation speed really an issue given the use cases for Go?<p>Yes, I find compilation speed to be one of the most important things. But it is not a selling point for go. The go compiler is not very fast, and speed is not an acceptable excuse for a lack of parametric polymorphism. Ocaml has not just parametric polymorphism, but many other basic type system features. And yet ocamlopt is both 5-10 times faster than the go compiler, and still produces faster binaries.

Super helpful -- thanks for chiming in. I think its really interesting that this isn't worked out yet. It feels like there should be a way to say to a consumer "I'm just looking after your data -- you still own it, etc. Even if I go bankrupt or get bought, I can't change that and the acquiring company should consider that when valuing me." I mean, banks do it with money (and other assets). One bank buys another and there's no way for it say "Now your money is mine! Muwahaha". Feels like it's a whole missing regulatory / legal area to me.

Actually, you can choose a color by hex value... it's just hidden because it's the Mac native color picker. (We're in the process of writing our own now, so it won't be this obnoxious in the future.) Second tab, select RGB in the drop-down.<p>Definitely give XD a whirl in the upcoming months, though, and please please do log what you need in adobexd.uservoice.com. We can't read minds, and we really do want to listen to what the you all need and provide an app that will meet them.

I believe you have been using a definition of Friendly C, as seen here: <a href="http://blog.regehr.org/archives/1180" rel="nofollow">http://blog.regehr.org/archives/1180</a>.<p>I wasn't aware of that and my idea of it is different.<p>Aliasing rules help the compiler decide what values have to be reloaded. The stricter those rules less chance there is for pointers to alias the same memory.

The elevator pitch page is a bit hidden: <a href="http://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/whyvscode" rel="nofollow">http://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/whyvscode</a><p>Excerpt:
"For serious coding, developers often need to work with code as more than just text. Visual Studio Code includes built-in support for always-on IntelliSense code completion, richer semantic code understanding and navigation, and code refactoring. VS Code includes enriched built-in support for Node.js development with TypeScript and JavaScript, powered by the same underlying technologies that drive Visual Studio. vS Code includes great tooling for web technologies such as HTML, CSS, Less, Sass, and JSON. VS Code also integrates with package managers, repositories and build tools to perform common tasks to make everyday workflows faster. And VS Code understands Git, and delivers great Git workflows and source diffs integrated with the editor."

which would actually enable additional optimizations.

> I doubt that anyone has ever filed a bug saying "I explicitly wrote a loop to zero memory, but the compiler failed to optimize it out."<p>I suspect it's less that they asked for that than they asked for some generic optimization on loops, and the implementation works great 99% of the time, and 100% of the test cases, but because it was approached from a performance perspective the idea that sometimes we want to change the state of the memory, even though it has <i>no affect on a correctly functioning program</i>, isn't considered. Zeroing memory in this way has nothing to do with correctly running programs, the only use is to defend against your program malfunctioning and exposing the data, or some external actor looking at memory. Neither of those have to do with the normal functionality of the code the compiler is running, but is <i>is</i> important. Unfortunately since it deals with things that have nothing to do with the actual instructions needed to make the program function, it's easy to overlook.

It looks like it, but with pfsense you get more control I think. I have several more segments (read: virtual adapters) that route through a VPN or just from my home ip.<p>So then I can go to mange>adapter settings>lan segments in my vmware settings and change my upstream gateway. This is all 100% transparent to the programs running inside the VM (only problem is that not all protocols support being routed in this sense).<p>But tcp works, as does DNS over tcp, so most programs you use will work.

My thought was that it would be useful to have it in machine consumable form if you want to collect data and report on things. You could turn it into a "debriefing" program that makes it quick to go through after an interview and note which questions you asked and rate your satisfaction on their answers.

I wonder if in the long run it will be possible to generate an Android APK without having the Android NDK/SDK installed. Since it could link against the Android's stdlib.<p>Though, I guess Android NDK uses a custom toolchain, linker, so it might not be that easily achieveable. Though it will give Rust an advantage over other newcomers. Crosscompilation for multiple OS'es/Architecture seems like a big selling point.

Jeremy is left in what at first glance seems to be a scummy position but we live in the real world here and from the looks of it he <i>does</i> have a valid claim here. Sam says "Kyle made an extremely generous offer to settle this claim by offering to give Jeremy a lot of his own money." but Jeremy could be entitled to at least 10% of the company. Was Kyle offering him 100mil to settle the case? Doubtful. It sucks but this is what happens when you aren't careful. With that huge payday on the line any of us would've done what Jeremy is doing right now.

<i>>You replied and said no, it's all pointers, followed by "I never even started using strings". Do you see why that approach will lead to a tilted view of where the overheads are coming from?</i><p>I see what you mean, but when I said that Java uses two or three times as much memory as Go or C++, I didn't include tons of UTF-16 strings either, assuming most people don't use as many strings as I do. If your baseline does include a large number of heap based Java String objects, the difference would be much greater than two or three times because strings alone would basically double Java's memory usage (or triple it if you store mostly short strings like words using the short string optimization in C++ for comparison)<p><i>>In theory, especially once value types are implemented, it would be possible for a Java app to have better memory usage than an equivalent C++ app, as bytecode is a lot more compact than compiled code</i><p>I'd love to see that theory :-) But let's say it was magic and the bytecode as well as the VM itself would require zero memory, any difference would still only be tens of MB. So it would be negligible if we're talking about heap sizes on the order of tens or hundereds of GB.

This "easier" format is actually more "complex". JSON can be described with just a couple of simple rules (<a href="http://json.org/" rel="nofollow">http://json.org/</a> ), while this format adds many new rules (e.g. for doing same things in multiple ways). The more rules you have, the more things you have to remember, the harder it is to find the reason of the problem.<p>BTW. it is very simple to do comments in JSON :) You can just add
"comment1" : "This is my comment",
to any object, it will be ignored by software that processes your file.
