This has been tried without success. You may have heard about the AI winter, or the failure of the symbolic approach, in the 1980s. Check out "On Intelligence". It talks about their reasons for following biological constraints, in opposit

According to the author's book, there was almost no preceding work in this area; the one groundbreaking paper was largely ignored. 1. "On Intelligence", Jeff Hawkins, 2004 2. "An Organizing Principle for Cerebral Function", Vernon Mountcast

It's slighty more complex. You're talking about asking people what they want, then building it. "A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them." — Steve Jobs

Then surely you know support for transactions is built as a layer on top of ETS? I actually don't like Erlang as a whole, because it lacks a static type system, but that's besides the point. I reject characterising the BEAM VM's GC as not-r

It's not valid to say BEAM VM's per-process GC doesn't help with shared data structures, as there are no shared data structures in Erlang. ETS acts like shared memory, but is not, in fact, shared memory. ETS tables are kept in a separate m

> As of now, the only really-good GCs are found in the JVM This is quite a strong assertion. What other GCs have you evaluated and rejected as not-really-good? Does this include GHC's parallel generational GC, or BEAM VM's per-process

Erlang is hardly homoiconic, unless you mean Lisp-Flavoured Erlang.

This is so true. I can't believe how bad the online auction space is right now, and it's been like that for years!

Your statement is true. The parent poster's statement is also true.

Very nice presentation, but it seems like this could benefit from an Emscriptened browser-based Objective-C compiler. Fabrice Bellard's browser-based Linux boots in less time than this prints out "Hello, world!"

So? This can be easily detected by comparing snapshots of memory, including any registers, etc.

There is a marked difference between letter shapes rendered with FreeType and with Quartz. Judging by the letter shapes, I would say it's highly likely iOS uses the same renderer as OS X, at least for common fonts like Helvetica Neue. Howev

This is fantastic. Thank you for explicitly listing keto, and for allowing to customize the exact amount of macronutrients. That being said: The custom macronutrient range sliders are a bit unintuitive. I think both range sliders and percen

It's time for Apple to step in and show everyone how it's done. Of course, once this happens, a lot of people will develop selective amnesia, as it happened with phones.
