If I may, I think the GP feels that this information is stress-inducing but not really actionable for those of us not in the medical field. I don't know if I agree with their stance that it shouldn't be shared, but I sympathize.

That's exactly my point: we'll have self-driving cars when they have their own space. Not before, even given 20 years of progress. Maybe we'll get that dedicated space before then, maybe not. It's a much bigger socioec

People have been claiming it's six months away for half a decade. I'll believe it when I see it. One very real effect of all of this research, though, is that if we did end up with an autonomous-only environment (dedicated lanes

After watching the self-driving car hype crash and burn (so to speak) over the past 5 years, I wouldn't bet on having fully-autonomous vehicles in the next 20. In fact I don't think we'll have them until they no longer have t

It's strange to me that recursion wouldn't just naturally fall out of any language design that has a call stack. Even if you forbid the current procedure from calling itself, it could achieve the same thing by having two functions

Again, that's a very healthy mindset to take no matter what the human condition is, but you don't have to take a scorched-earth perspective on life to adopt such a frame of mind. And for most people, who haven't developed suc

I think what you're disillusioned with is capitalism. Try building something you could never make money off of. Something useless, but fun. Try divorcing technology from the vultures and the dilberts. Here are some technologists doing

I would say the key is not relying on global installs. By default all NPM dependencies are installed locally alongside the manifest. You use more disk space, but disk space is cheap these days.

So it sounds like more of a packages thing than an interpreter thing; basically "DLL hell" all over again. Setting aside all other axes of comparison, it sounds like Node really learned from Python with regards to this problem. In

Yes, this was my interpretation too (should probably be made more clear). Most JS dev tools are written in JS (Webpack, Babel, VSCode) so there's a large use-case for a fast JS-native parser. It could also, theoretically, be run in-bro

LLVM will almost certainly get a back-end for it; Apple uses the latter extensively already. And virtually all new, native language projects already target LLVM. So I don't see this being a problem at all.

It's no slower than Python. Probably faster unless you're staying within a native library like NumPy. But that wasn't my main point: my main point is that people love to rant about "JavaScript apps" while maintain

I'm skeptical of any framework that brings its own new syntax. That means an enormous additional overhead of documentation, support, and dev tool integration, which doesn't tend to go well without a critical mass of end-users. Wha

If the rendering is this controlled (and sparse), blocking the thread with it isn't really a concern. And with this data size, serialization/deserialization between the main and worker thread would probably become nontrivial.

Let this be a lesson that JavaScript is not slow. The DOM can be slow, and downloading large bundles can be slow, and any code can be made slow if you try hard enough to write it poorly. But JavaScript the language is not slow in 2020. Wh
