It really is too bad that the Nokia N800/810/900 series of devices were too little too late, because having what is basically an ubuntu desktop on a phone-screen sized tablet was awesome. Maemo was the original "OS" and was replaced by "Mer" and if i am not mistaken, at least as of 2019 both projects still exist.

If i ever pick up a librephone, pinephone, or something that can be switched to another OS, i'd like to try it again, even though i don't like using phones in landscape mode anymore. Maemo raised the bar so high on landscape orientation user interfaces that everything else is a joke.
> It hasn't failed at anything.

It has failed at being a usable currency, and not merely for socioeconomic reasons. A currency is more than just intrinsic value.
That repo is slightly outdated, development now continues at https://github.com/norse/norse.
The dollar has absolutely been destroyed. Housing, health care... true inflation is rampant.

> The other has seen astronomical, wild price swings, which no one could plan for, and which is currently enjoying a high price (just as tulips once did), but which was worth 95% less just 10 months ago - and probably will be again soon.

People have been saying this at their own expense for a decade.
Very cool. How much data is going to be arriving from JWST daily? Is it going to be readily open to the public?
Life has survived this long in space with just air and a magnetic field as protection. What we have found is that we need good shielding and to simulate gravity. So at the simplest, we need a lot of mass and we need the bit we live in to spin. Also, biology and technology are not particularly separate. Stuff like Dyson trees should not be written off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyson_tree
And what, exactly, do you attribute the drop in infant mortality rates to, if not scientific/technological progress?
I'm looking forward to it.

But stealing my email with promises doesn't make me happy ;)

Maybe the promises are empty, like on most sites on the web, what do I know...
Every time I hear of a PluralSight acquisition I'm excited to see what new videos will come. I've watched most of the videos relevant to my hobbies and had to move on to ones that ~actually benefit my company~ :P

My company requires developers to take about two courses a month on PS (as well as being able to watch more in our downtime or at home if we want). It's pretty great.
That technique doesn't work well in HEMA combat. It's not hard to parry a thrust like that from a high, open guard and it leaves the attacker completely open to strikes on the hands, arms and head.

There's also a difference in scoring with regards to defense. In my HEMA group if opponent A strikes B, but B strikes back in the same motion (roughly 0.5 seconds, but basically the same "move") then it's a double-hit. Often counted as 0 points for either side but on some tournaments even counted as -1 for both sides.
Joke: may be you need a quantum singularity to get the intelligent machine singularity...

No I do not think that we do have black holes in our brains, and no we are not connected by worm holes...but it is nice idea. Likeminded people are connected by tiny worm holes.
I've studied with Dr. David Cope, the guy you referenced as having proved that "computers have already... [composed] music that is as good as human composed music," and I've looked at the code in question. He's achieved something remarkable, sure, but nothing which even remotely validates your claim.

Emily Howell (the software in question) mostly just mixes and matches fragments of existing scores, normalized by key signature. There's a bit more to it than that, but nowhere near enough to justify a claim like "computers out-compose human musicians." It doesn't do much more than Beethoven's own experiments in aleatoric music in the early 1800s.

Edit: ok, that last sentence re Beethoven's a little unfair, but imagine Beethoven with modern processing power and you're not far off.
From the article:

> For example, pharmaceutical companies currently create cancer antibodies in expensive hamster ovary cells that do not often misfold proteins. The ability to quickly and cheaply re-form common proteins from yeast or E. coli bacteria could potentially streamline protein manufacturing and make cancer treatments more affordable.

That is not saying research. That is quite explicitly claiming lower price of manufacture will result in cheaper cancer treatments.
If they did that all the popular streamers would end up there pretty fast for microagressions. Lets not pretend this isnt political. I dont think billionaires should decide what is socially acceptable and what isnt.
Free speech isn’t a concept that was invented or defined by the United State’s first amendment. What kind of logic is that? When foreign governments kill dissidents, do you say “don’t worry guys, the first amendment only applies to the US government, so nobody’s right to free speech is getting violated here”.
But nobody owes you a market stall. And if you do have one, then you have to balance your business witht he extracurricular activities. If the latter gets you in trouble or attracts sufficient attention that it reflects poorly on your industry, your brand might suffer and other industry participants will do whatever they need to avoid contagion.
Overall I think improving something by removing, addition by subtraction, is harder to accomplish and less intuitive. It's also scarier, because if you're wrong and you're not actually removing a negative, instead you've made it worse.

Adding is less scary in that case. Especially when you think the stuff you are adding is good, which you probably will because you're the one who made it.
You just completely missed the point. Everyone knows who's website it is and that they "can" mod it as they wish. But at a certain scale some moral and ethical questions come into play.
We usually prefer the adjective "deterministic" over "stupid". Simplicity, zero overhead, and "user pays" are virtues.

People who complain about C++ smart pointers tend to be the ones who reflexively reach for shared_ptr. (We call that habit "Java Disease".) Most good C++ programs have zero uses of shared_ptr. Also, passing around shared_ptr or unique_ptr in public interfaces puts you in a state of sin.
I was a fan of this before it was cool
Even in the Bay Area, the Lincoln Ave road diet in Willow Glen (San Jose) was severely divided, and I considered the Bay Area to be way more bike friendly than other regions in America.

What other frameworks have you tried?
> it feels rude to just ring someone

It feels that way because it is. Demanding synchronous response even if you're a boss is despicable. Glad I don't have to work with you.

Sure there are exceptions when you've got important deadlines or fires to put out, but distractions are never welcome. Sure in office it was acceptable to have 5x less productivity, but you get to coach people which felt nice internally.

Mere blips on the Java eco-system, why do you think Typesafe has pivoted into Lightbend and now also does Java projects?

Gradle and Google choosing it for Android are the only things that keeps Groovy still relevant.

As for Clojure, it is its own thing, plugging into the host platforms.
'''B - "Your kid has a really small chance to suffer from it, but it's for the group. If it goes bad the group will do everything to support you and your kid'''

To be fair, that's why the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act was passed, though there are limitations:

> to be eligible to file a claim, the effects of the person’s injury must have: 1) lasted for more than 6 months after the vaccine was given; or 2) resulted in a hospital stay and surgery; or 3) resulted in death.

For examples, if you get the measles vaccine and within 4 hours go into anaphylactic shock, then it's presumed to be caused by the vaccine. If in the month after getting the chicken pox vaccine you start suffering from chronic arthritis, then again it's presumed that the vaccine caused the condition.

In those cases you can be paid (quoting from http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/84521booklet.pdf ):

• a reasonable amount for past and future nonreimbursable medical, custodial care, and rehabilitation costs, and related expenses (There is no limit on the amount a person with an injury may be paid for these types of expenses. Payments are based on your vaccine injury needs.);

• up to $250,000 for actual and projected pain and suffering;

• lost earnings; and/or

• reasonable lawyers’ fees and other legal costs or legal costs, not fees, of petitioners representing themselves, if your claim was filed on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
Well yeah, formal radio comms have to be. It's not like Top Gun.
I was honoured to interview Andy and talk to him about the early days of building the Macintosh, his friendship and work with Steve Jobs, General Magic and learning from failure.
It's all so strange to me.

My son (now 26) always had summers free at minimum. While he was younger, he did go to a YMCA outdoor "adventure" day camp at a nearby lake park. Once he was in middle school, he stayed home. Sports 2-3 seasons, but he got to pick which one he played and never the crazy travel league stuff. In high school, he was free to do what he wanted (football for 2 years, guitar all 4, and a mix of rec league basketball and volleyball when he felt like it). Always plenty of time to ride his bike, play at the park, run around with friends. Starting in middle school, he'd often disappear across town on bike of skateboard for hours at a time. School was 2.5 miles away and he often opted to ride his skateboard instead of the bus.

I see kids today where every free moment is booked with stuff. All in some sisyphean effort to get into Harvard or something. I mean, sure, I get a desire to go to a top name uni, but the changes of little Johnnie getting in, regardless of extra-curricular, is so small that all the effort seems mostly wasted to me. I "only" went to UVA and turned out fine, IMO, so maybe I'm biased. I dunno.
Don't fret. 'Scientists' (politicians that pretend to be scientists?) have been making this 'climate emergency' claim for generations now. It's all click-bait fearmongering.
I recommend Sweet Sleep as a resource for anyone interested in cosleeping/bedsharing.

It gives a lot of practical advice and looks at the research to address the safety concerns. The conclusion is that bedsharing will multiply existing risk factors for SIDS but if those risk factors are already low, adding bedsharing into the mix does not increase the risk by a significant amount (assuming it's done in accordance with safety guidelines).

Whitelisting licdn.com fixes it. If dig deeper and check the ublock origin logger, it looks like it's trying to load https://snap.licdn.com/li.lms-analytics/insight.min.js, and if it's blocked the page never loads.
He specifically mentions your point in what I thought was a clever way in the video:

If someone claims your safety is their top priority, it's not you they're looking out for, it's themselves.

"Safety first" is a legal mechanism for reducing liability. Sometimes procedures improve safety and sometimes they harm safety, but their mere existence combined with a culture of prioritizing safety is sufficient to avoid legal liability when accidents happen.
Although I'm not sure "its K&R equivalent" is correct (that's C89 and has "modern" function implementations), C99 is indeed not that common. If only because many compilers don't support it (including Microsoft's).
This article helped me a lot. I had always thought that it had to be written as:

$(this).each(...)

Knowing that I can use:

this.each()

will allow me to simplify things a bit.
Actually, he's not alone in demeriting =)
Good point, but maybe the money is needed for a relative that won't be covered anyway?

Anyway, how about a move to a country with socialized health care? (Canada?)
I would say that in creating something one's skills are almost irrelevant. Does it matter the skill of the creator if the art is beautiful or the application just works?
How about development boards that don't cost $1,000? I'm talking to you, TI.

People are having fun with OMAP 3430s, but only because BeagleBoard is $150. But $999 for a Sitara EDK? Forget it.
I like having the variables the same length from an aesthetic point, but my brain also flags 'rite' as being spelled wrong and that detracts (albeit slightly) from reading and understanding the code.
I can swear by this - I've lost almost forty pounds since New Year's by cutting out the danishes, making my own lunches, and going to the gym regularly for weight lifting and cardio.

The only thing I'd add - working out is time-consuming, and getting started at a gym is both hard and intimidating. Gyms themselves are counting on you to stop going - that's how they make their money. If you're having trouble getting started, consider saving up your money and getting a personal trainer for a few months. The personal trainer will teach you how to use the equipment properly, get you more comfortable around the gym, and, most importantly, will be so godawful expensive you won't shrug it off and not bother to go to the sessions - the pain of wasting all that money will be too much.

Yes, I know this is silly - but I was getting chunkier and chunkier over the past couple of years and for me that was the only thing that worked. Personal willpower just wasn't getting it done.
A bunch of hyperbolic crap. But hey, it says "Fuck Flash!", so this is gonna be popular among the HN/reddits/slashdots of the world no matter how much it doesn't stick to reality.
There is the Github you see and use, then there is the Github you don't see. It's a service that allows files/information to be uploaded, downloaded, shared, by pretty much anyone. That's something some governments sadly don't like.
Why don't they just booby-trap the whole place so that the attack vector involving heavy explosives is an exercise in suicide.
this is disingenuous. As a child, you _did_ see slopes and springs and gears and ropes and pulleys before Newton, just not in physics classes but in everyday life. Physics classes start from first principles, maybe, but in terms of what you get exposure to, the three laws of newton show up pretty late in one's understanding of how things happen.
Radio Free Albemuth. Not exactly his best novel. Yes, if someone picks some random Dick novel, he's likely to be disappointed and your criticism of such a random Dick novel stands a good chance of being correct. I think the same could be said of random Dick short stories as well.

Setting those aside, I think your argument is harder to make where his best novels are concerned.

That said, I'd be interested to hear what you consider Dick's best short stories. Most of the ones I've read have been pretty disappointing (with the exception of a couple I cited elsewhere in this thread).
On one of the comments you wrote, you said you're not in a financial situation that is life-threatening. I'd like to ask start from here. Would going to a community college be an option for you? I myself went to a 2-year community college then transferred to a 4-year university, majoring in computer science. It had helped me landing a job in one of the most well-known tech companies.

When I was in a community college, I was under the impression that it was not too hard to get some financial aid. Would it be possible for you to work part-time while studying?
first of all, relax. I'd do anything to be a 18 years old programmer. Can't you get some help from your family? If you're really broke, that would at least cover your food expenses and such.

Otherwise, just keep looking and programming, you seem really passionate about it and started at a very young age (I begun programming when I was 22). If you really need some money, try anything that pays your rent/food/etc. and on the side keep looking for programming gigs.

I don't think it is a matter of luck, so I will just wish you a good night of sleep and a more relaxed mind.

Sorry about my english, lack of practice hurts that much.
This blog article misses a lot, by concentrating on small aspects and a specific case. Pilot depression? Talk about all employees (or civil servant) depression!

The point is that there's a global problem with society (the disfunctional way it's organized) which leads to mental illnesses, increasing drug usage, increadible psychotrop chemicals usage levels, etc, almost everywhere.
These kinds of searches are hard to get right. The name for the ember project is "ember", have a look at the website. The search term "ember" is too general though for comparison.

I guess the point is that google trends is often a bad metric.
Parent said credit cards; Scandinavia mostly uses debit, AFAIK, and they usually can't be used online.
jsonapi bears absolutely no resemblance to SOAP. I do not understand this comment at all.

I'm dmuino's manager.

The day after I took over the team, my director sat me down and said "I don't know if you've looked yet, but most of your engineers make more than you do. That's because they're incredibly valuable. Your number one job is to keep them happy."

In the last two years of managing this team, I've consistently gotten paid less than the top engineers on my team.

Totally OK with it.
Don't trust Google APIs or Frameworks. They have a reputation of throwing it all away with each new version leaving you in the lurch and having to do major rewrites.
Why was there a fatwa against you?
Any Bluetooth audio adapter will do, and it will do for iOS devices, too. Unless you want a longer tether than Bluetooth allows there is no advantage to "casting."

Perhaps if one could cast to multiple Chomecasts...
Turing is also one of my heroes too, but that doesn't mean I have to worship every idea of his. As you pointed out the problem with the Turing Test is that IS as imprecise or unproductive.

This would be fine if decades of serious AI research and millions of dollars hadn't be wasted trying to fool humans with these stupid psychological tricks. I know first hand as I took an "AI" course at my University centered around their home grown chatbot. And it's not just my school, here's a list of 400 research papers dedicated to the topic.[1]

As the article points out Turing's idea that was never fully flushed out. It's nothing more than a distraction for researchers and a silly parlor trick for everyone else. Stong AI is never going to come by tricking the interviewer that you're a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy.[2] It's going to come by a fundamental understanding of the nature of intelligence.

That's the optimistic view. But leap seconds also caused problems in 2008 and 2005. It seems more likely we'll just find some exciting new bugs. Hopefully not one that b0rks the whole kernel though.
You can also try and integrate over time. Complex? Definitely. Not an exact science because you will have to estimate the motion of both the eyeball and the subject you are trying to identify? Yes (in most cases). Feasible? In some cases: probably.

And that, too, will get better with better hardware. At first, you may only be able to detect hair color and rough hair length in cases where the person being identified has a nice silhouette against an evenly lit sky, but that already is something.
Since most researchers are unable to see the future, it's generally accepted that such studies are done on the present and/or past.
Maybe I can help convince you to make the change...

It might be useful to -- consider that your information is... not useful.

By this I mean that you should be interested in how people react to new information in general. In some cases, people take this information and act on it. In most cases, they don't. It's very hard to convince someone, especially a stranger, to do something differently just by providing them new information.

Don't take my word for it. You don't even need to look to others to find the truth to this. Just look to yourself.

How often do you tangibly change your actions based on new information? I'm sure you have some less than desirable habits, and I'm sure you have know enough information to know that these habits are not helpful. Yet, even with this information, have you changed these habits?

I am similar. I sometimes struggle to engage in conversation... I'd rather just walk away and do something interesting to me. And this is fine, you don't need to always engage in conversation. But when you do, it shouldn't be to just dump information on people. This isn't effective. Even with people who you have close, intimate relationships with... it's even hard to change these people. Even if you do have the right information, it needs to be delivered with patience. You can't expect them to change overnight. You can't even expect them to change at all. If you want to tell someone something, you must do it with compassion, and expect that if they are going to take this information from you, it will be on their own time.
That seems more informative so we switched the URL from https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-v1-4-0-has-been-rele... above.
Interesting point. But maybe there is also difference in air travel/contact between Germany/Italy/Spain and China.
Over the past few nights, I’ve been seeing a very bright spot from this cabin I’m staying in in Øksfjordbotn, Norway but it’s position is all wrong (253deg W) and I can easily see it with the naked eye which I shouldn’t be able to. Does anyone know if it’s Venus or something?
It always comes down to representation. If you can use a deterministic, efficient algorithm to represent the data in a more amenable manner, then the ML system will have a much easier time "making sense" of the patterns inherent in the data compared to a system that has to learn some abstract transformation from raw data to useful representations.
The difference is that S4TF is an internal google team. I can't imagine they wouldn't coordinate with the android team, especially given the benefits that easy ML will bring to apps.
I would be very careful with the wording maturity in context of society. Italy and Spain have a society which is far more family friendly, elder friendly and outgoing culture than Germany. That is usually much better. Just not now.
That's surprising. A family member of mine (mid 20ies) in Germany went on a one-week vacation to the north of Germany (he lives somewhere else in Germany) two weeks ago and one of them wasn't feeling well. So they called the respective office to ask about Covid-19 and were told to stay at there vacation home, no one should go anywhere and someone would come to see and test them. They came early the next day in full hazmat suits testing everyone of them. Also bringing an official order that they have to stay in the house until there are results. Results where available a few hours later and they were told by phone that they are negative and can move freely again. All of this was about two weeks ago. They were generally happy with the response and the speed of everything.
