Only considering products made by actual engineers at big companies makes a ton of sense. All the dead web frameworks of the week where made by silly hipsters weren't great choices in retrospect.
Re:Markets are efficient if and only if P = NP (2010) on Friday June 01, 2018 @05:48AM (#17203900)
P = NP is trivially true on machines which compute everything instantly (using paradoxes).

Fuzzy analogies will get you nowhere.

> And the issue of trying to prove N=NP is essentially trying to prove that there isn't a magical way to train a neural network with just one image of training data

No it's not. You can't do reasoning on bullshit inaccurate analogies.

Isn't objecting to unfair games super silly as life is inherently unfair.

Doesn't mean the rules of making money don't cause it to drift to those who already have a shitton of it.
Plenty of way parents can heavily influence you. I would have turned out much different if my father didn't teach me programming. The current POTUS wouldn't be who he is if he didn't get a small loan of a million dollars.

Pig brains are just (dog) food. Morality shouldn't be concerned with food no matter how sentient it is.
Re:GraalVM: Run Programs Faster Anywhere on Wednesday April 18, 2018 @05:44PM (#16871500)
MoarVM/NQP compares very badly with Graal and Truffle. MoarVM is a ton slower and less flexible.

I support google because they are enemies of microsoft/apple/facebook.
great
CNN is extremely anti-Trump
Looking at the paper the set of games it can build seems rather limited. It could work for cookie cutter platformers (the sort of games that engines that don't require programming let you build).

I don't have any patents why should I give a fuck about people who want to steal money from facebook?
Re:Ask HN: What's the worst Oracle can do to OpenJDK? on Monday September 04, 2017 @05:58AM (#15167012)
Wouldn't they shoot themselves in the foot by sabotaging the JVM? They seem to be taking a serious push at taking over the dynamic language space atm?

If it was a failed startup all their code was in the end useless garbage.
Not taking a bribe would help you avoid such taking such decisions.
Is hope of buying a bunch of things you will never be able to afford really a good thing?
Is Aikido better than sports? A lot of it seems to be based on a ton of bullshit. Imaginary feats of mystical founders and delusions that you can actually use it in a fight.

There is an algorithm to find prime numbers. It might not be efficient but it exists.
If you didn't age you would reduce the risk of fatal accidents.
The AI could use a human army. If it wanted to eliminate humanity in a not lethal way it could sterilize everyone with a virus or something.
Re:Why I’m Learning Perl 6 on Wednesday July 26, 2017 @11:28AM (#14857027)
The parrot threads didn't communicate with each other and you could wait until all of them finished. They provided a tiny subset of the functionality real threads offer but in a more efficient way.

JVM is now becoming what Parrot was intended to be with Graal/Truffle.
I have no idea whose bribes control the corrupt EU bureaucracy. At least Google helps me by moving stuff from windows into the browser.

Why would you want force companies to use their patents.
