Looks like a very useful little library. Although, have you looked at OpenColourIO and its Python bindings? It is the VFX industry standard for working with colour spaces, most companies will use OCIO for colour management throughout the process.

Very true. The only winning move is not to play!
The universe works in funny ways when absolute euphoria or utter hell are just a different dice roll away.
I don't miss #include. Not for a second. Not even a fleeting thought.

I even added imports and modules to D's embedded ImportC C compiler.

Wasn't this the promise of 'prediction markets'?

(you can read promise as 'value prop' too, I don't know much about these, just that they exist and are a recent creation)
Slippery slope arguments are inherently fallacies. They don't prove that something will happen.

Just because you can justify the next climb on the same basis, that doesn't mean you will. You could decide that you've already tested the odds one too many times.
The opposite to working heuristics is the black swan theory.
> There is really no "Canadian music" either, it's really just the same as American music.

What’s interesting is that you can see the quotas the government place on radio stations as a form of subsidies. Meaning that, according to the government, Justing Bieber signing about “Georgia Peaches” and consuming drugs in California counts as Canadian Music and Culture (he was born in Canada).

> Take the recent culturally popular hit on Netflix "Squid Game". Should Netflix be forced to show me something from Canada instead of promoting Squid Game simply because they are legally forced to?

Rent-seekers seem to think so! Why try to innovate and compete in a fair marketplace when you can simply have special rules that your content has to be promoted?
This is an immature thing to do. It also moves others' shifts around in the future which may schedule them on pre-booked holidays. (If you use automatic rotation in PD) Don't be that person. Tell people openly.
DMA attacks - once you get access to a bus that allows direct memory access, you can unlock the machine.

Not something a thief that wants the laptop would do, but definitely something a targeted attacker who specifically steals a laptop to get your data would do.
I actually really like this analogy. I'm curious if there's there's a term for that kind of playbook for folks who are more familiar with building security.
Wow that sounds awful indeed. These are heavy allegations, are you sure it is not a supply demand thing?
Historically, that's true. However, ESG factor has taken hold and corporate leadership understands this.

I suppose having positive ESG profile is still an interest. So your statement stands.
The problematic part of your example is your phone company spying on your private conversations, not them choosing not to do business with you.

It's wildly different from a website company running their public business on another companies infrastructure.
Oh, I don't know. I'm not able to predict anything about Tesla, and I'm not trying to.

My bad for seeming like I was contradicting your argument, I have no opinion on that. I was just clarifying some of the facts.
If you don't max out the BCP $6k, make sure you buy Visa gift cards at a grocery store to max it out. :)
Ok, so in your personal experience, what was the "margin" portion of the adjustable rate mortgage that you had?

My numbers look wrong to you because you are comparing them to your APR. You shouldn't. As I've mentioned before APR = Index + Margin. If index goes down, and margin is fixed, what happens to the APR?

You are correct, most people did not get their mortgages in 2008. But the family we are discussing here did. And for anyone with 5/1 ARM taken out in 2004-2008 the rate would have gone down after the fixed period.
No. I use less to navigate gigabyte log files quite often (it's more efficient then vim).
I remember taking the light rail everyday in North Sunnyvale on Java Drive a few years ago, and wondered why companies like Google, Facebook, etc didn't move over there-there were so many vacant buildings, all next to VTA light rail. Apple's campus has mediocre bus service (VTA 55), Google's has practically none I can think of (piss poor location for transit) and FB is banking on the unicorn-like hope of revitalizing Redwood Junction and building a Caltrain spur.

I bet dollars to doughnuts most people who work at big name tech companies in Santa Clara County, and who actually live in Santa Clara County, drive to work.
If I'm logging into a server later to resolve an issue, one thing I will probably check is the command history. If you open a file with "vi", how do I know that you only looked at it, and did not make any changes to it? When I see "less" in the command history, I know for certain that it was a read-only operation.
> I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple was unhappy with this and moved to keep their skill-bank walled in.

I would find this surprising: more companies using obj-c means more people using obj-c means more people able to code on Apple platforms, which use obj-c nigh-exclusively.
I'm not sure it's just personality traits though, the technical professions may be influential as well. In technical matters, things do tend to be much more black-or-white, and if something is "subtle and nuanced", chances are it's a bug. Arts majors have been going on for ages about Aristotelian/Boolean logic being coarse and artificially compartmentalizing, there might be a grain of truth there.
PR stunt maybe?
Google has 15 B in cash. Every year they make another 8 B in cash. 99% of the revenue for Google comes from Advertising. I think Google has realized what everyone else knows...it's time to just buy random stuff that makes more money.
> You should make bar private

It's package-access by default, that's enough to hide it from the third-party users of the class.

> and add a setter

The original code uses `attr_reader` which defines a readonly "property". The Java translation is a single getter, with no way to set the value from outside the class.
> Yes, obviousness is subjective.

The subjectivity of the obviousness being nicely handled by the next stanza:

> Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
The way money is made on the internet is about to change. Which means the internet is about to change. Yes, all of it.

Ignore any line containing the phrase "$2.5 billion." The dollar figure is a formality. This isn't an acquisition. It's a teaming-up, a joining of forces. Google is D-Wade and Groupon is LeBron. Kobe? Amazon.

Amazon is the best at what it does, i.e. selling the way it sells. Trying to sell the way they sell, nobody ever stood a chance against them. Amazon is Wal-Mart in a world where Mom & Pop stores lack small town charm and are hidden on remote desert islands. You want to make money, you'd better build yourself a lighthouse with a helluva giftshop. Groupon, though, doesn't sell the way Amazon sells. They're totally different. And now they've got Google behind them, and everything that means. Watch out.

Everything Google's ever done, every service they've ever offered, was made (hugely) profitable through advertising, direct or indirect, of one form or another. Google makes money helping others make money. They sell to the salesman. With Groupon, they'll become the salesman. Everything is about to change.
The comment I referenced mentions that the context available in recursive-descent parsers can be used for error recovery, e.g., phrase-level recovery. The excellent "Programming Language Pragmatics" by Michael Scott has a good chapter on this, so does "Modern Compiler Design" by Grune, Bal, Jacobs and Langendoen.
I'll guess it was in Salem MA.
... and to do it, as well as motion tracking and environmental feature identification, in real-time with as little latency as possible, and do it on batteries.

I keep feeling like watching the Longhorn demo at PDC 2003...
There are dangers in sealing home so tightly to control energy use. Blocking the escape of hot/cold air saves on the bills but can lead to condensation problems when the mechanical systems fail or are not designed perfectly.

Even something as simple as replacing an electric range with a gas one (burning gas is a huge source of moisture) can lead to mold in the long term. A clogged vent into a basement can see moisture from a gas water heater creep into wood on the inside the impenetrable vapor barrier.

And don't get anyone started on the dangers of off-gassing from new construction materials in an airtight environment.
Haha, yep, I've been around for all of those other chans too.

I'm starting to browse 8chan alongside 4chan today and we will see where it goes.
I think I want one. I'm not entirely sure yet.
High quality timber framed houses are built in Europe and the US. Bricks have a much larger carbon footprint, are more expensive, do not insulate as well as a wooden frames with proper insulation. Brick walls also take longer to assemble. Timber framed houses can also be cladded or plastered on the outside.
The argument that artificial intelligence requires understanding how intelligence works is an argument that natural intelligence requires Intelligent Design. (Its also an argument that fortuitous discoveries--such as of pharmaceuticals with utility in treating conditions they were not designed for and whose mechanisms we do not understand--cannot occur.)

Obviously, understanding intelligence better would promote more effective directed research toward artificial intelligence. But if we can identify it (which the Turing Test is about), then it is quite possible that we can develop it -- and know that we have -- without understanding it. (And it may only be through developing it that we end up understanding how it works.)

Don't know why somebody downvoted you, I've upvoted your post. I also use notebooks, mostly when I'm away from computer but as you, I'm using it for sketching and brainstorming sessions.

Do you regularly review things in your Safari's reading list or it keeps growing? Because that's the problem in my case.
Fair enough, but in all seriousness it really should be a site requirement for either the downvoter to identify themselves, or post a note as to why they are downvoting. The process is just too opaque.
>whereas organizations want to get a bunch of people working at a group optimum.

It's an exceptional and rare organisation where this is even remotely realistic as a goal.

The appearance of productivity is usually far more important than the reality - especially in mid/late corporations, where the most significant outputs are primate status plays and politics.

>what you see as interruption might be, from the context of the company you work for, be the most globally productive use of your time.

I think Joel Spolsky covered this neatly somewhere. If you kick a programmer out of The Zone with a distraction, you can lose whole hours of useful productivity.

No sane manager is going to want to do that without a really good reason.

>programmers nearly always err on the side of too little communication

That's because programmers like to be left in peace to work on small, relatively well-defined problems. Communication can be limited to progress and code reviews and goal-setting by team leaders. Everything else is noise.

The real problem with remote working is that too few corps understand it, and too many managers believe employees aren't functional adults who can work without constant supervision.

It's a management issue, not a programmer issue.

I think at some point we're going to see some faddy Harvard Review type write a faddy Harvard Review type book about remote, and it's suddenly going to become the new outsourcing. Because cheap.

But meanwhile - Paul Graham's problem is that he has a nostalgic hankering for a vision of SV and start-up culture that's already well on its way to being disrupted by the global talent he wants to move to the US.

If you're a world-class five percenter, why on earth would you want to move somewhere with insane living expenses and in-bred VC culture of the Valley when you can bootstrap and innovate around it elsewhere?

Does he really believe all that funding and schmoozing and presentation is essential to getting a business up and running on a planet with an Internet?

Graham maybe needs to consider the possibility that those five percenters aren't his future employees - they're his future direct competitors.
What I mean is that while citizens are allowed to possess firearms, the government still has a monopoly on force. Attempting to actually use your firearms in someway unacceptable to them will almost certainly result in your doom. It's sort of like mutually assured destruction, except it's not mutual. I don't think they're worried about loose cannons holding grudges. While individual gun ownership is allowed, or tolerated, the government does not look kindly on forming militias.

If you ponder fictional police states such as 1984, in that situation it doesn't really matter if the citizens have firearms as they're thoroughly brainwashed that they would never use them. And, just like our world, if they did they would be brutally suppressed.

My opinion is that the people of the United States could not and would not stand up effectively to the National Guard, police and military if it came down to such a thing.
Restaurants have very little to do with it. Most of the time people eat at home, and they eat meat there too.
>in that those browsers were made by different groups

Is that the case for Firefox? I had thought it was just a side project by some Mozilla engineers.
The point is to confuse the situation just enough to give them some cover to get their money out.

If the ship nothing, then they’ll get shut down immediately. If they ship a thing, and in fact it is a handlebar bag, then they can report back to the card companies that it’s an ordinary customer dispute over quality of the goods, and they’ll likely win some of the chargebacks, and more importantly keep them in play while they continue to collect money. The majority of customers probably will just keep the piece of junk and be bitter about it.

They aren’t aiming to stay in business for a long time. Just long enough to collect money from a few thousand customers.
it is the same as any collectible, there is a market of people that like originals, except now there is a greater assurance of it being the original, primarily because of the earlier block/timestamp compared to a duplicate NFT which would therefore not hold its value, and the non-NFT versions of the art has no transaction so they do not store value. This assurance is accessible to any creator or collector.

a whole industry of appraisers and committees now gone. yay. automatic ability to pay royalties to the artist upon resale just built in, no contracts or enforcement of contracts necessary. no trust involved for lower value works where everyone is unfamiliar with contracts and lawyers. more efficient market available to all.
And its at the expense of a young professional just starting their career...
I don't like any form of marriage, gay or otherwise, but I like discrimination even less. There should be a heavy social cost associated with wearing certain opinions on one's sleeve... and there is, as Brendan Eich discovered.

In short, this is exactly what social behavior is for: moving civilization forward as a whole. If people like Eich insist on being left behind, they have that right, but they don't have the right to drag the rest of us down with them.
Your first suggestion seems like the way to go, I read a couple of papers this morning which seemed to confirm that it is a solid strategy. The first one claims that the Longformer architecture is tenable for truly long documents with some minor parameter optimization [0]. The Amazon/MSFT paper claims that just looking at the first part of the doc is superior to most other more complex solutions, like Longformer/Big Bird or hierarchical classification [1]. But here's what's really cool, they concluded that if you still use only 512 tokens, but you don't just look at the first ones, you look at basically an extractive summary of the most salient phrases in the document, it's more accurate. They call it BERT-TextRank, and it's using an extractive summarization algorithm from 2004.

Found a tutorial which at least makes classification with RoBERTa pretty straightforward.

I honestly didn't think this was possible before today but it's always nice to have your preconceptions challenged.

The only thing I want to quibble with is capturing your ideas. You don't need to do that. If you let your mind go, you will have another idea in a minute. If you start making lists of ideas, then you are just consuming your own input.

I have a kind of rule of 3. I can do 3 things well. Spending time with my family is one. Spending time at my job is another. I've only got one other thing left that I can do well. If I split it up into a million different ideas, then I really won't do any well at all.

Must purge my github account of cruft...
The thing that sets this post apart from others of the same category is the fact that the author was not given a choice in the search. This is exactly what a lot of discussion around here has been about (though admittedly the opposite of the expected outcome). The fact that it was a pat down, not a pat down or a scan is new. In most situations, the TSA could claim the the pat down is a choice, but here that is obviously not possible.

As for the assault claims, I am not surprised. I can't imagine TSA agents always remember to explain exactly what is going to happen. Pat downs are invasive and uncomfortable, but unexpected invasion must be much worse.
The "RSS is dead" thing is getting a bit worn. Twitter and Facebook can fill in a few gaps (I use Twitter to follow TC as they post too much stuff to keep up with one-by-one) but are useless for following sources where you want to guarantee you see every story (e.g. personal blogs, slower moving authoritative news sources, work stuff).

Some people have been finding a combination of Twitter and social link sites (like HN or Reddit) are "enough" for their needs and have dropped their use of RSS, but for people with a serious need for managing a wide array of news sources, RSS is far from cold in the ground.
I was walking through someone's capistrano scripts, and suddenly everything came back "Not Found". My first thought was that the guy had just starting cleaning up his account. :)
Knowing China intimately and having a family with multiple businesses in the countries has given me an unique understanding of the business world in the country (they own factories in southern china that produce clothing for American companies like armani exchange and RL and are constantly required to deal with the government in regards to labor, customs and etc).

The main reason why every American company will fail in China is because of cultural differences. American companies lack the ability to understand the Chinese mindset and often that leads to misunderstandings that wont be easily forgiven.

American companies that truly want to succeed in China need to readjust their business model. You cant bring an American company to China, you need to invest and develop organically a Chinese company that is substantially owned by an American company so that the citizenry and the state will allow and appreciate its existence.

As for competition among the Chinese companies, it is often the case that developing a relationship with the government is vital. But, developing a relationship or "guanxi" is a very different concept in Asian culture compared to American culture. Giving a "red envelope" is considered a necessary sign of respect and acknowledgment of their status, but in the US its a straight out bribe.

To curry favor with the people is simple, just give lots and lots of free data, products or whatever the people want. Whether that data is copyrighted, patented or otherwise. That's how baidu did it, thats how youku did it and thats how the next big thing is going to do it.

China's next big wave is going to be to develop its own silicon valley of sorts because its very popular to copy American startups and put an Asian spin on the idea to create a NEW multi-billion dollar company.
I think of this as avoiding 'premature polishing', much as I try to avoid premature optimisation. The evils are of a comparable nature, IMHO, even though I don't seem to be in the majority on that one.

'Clean lines' is my mantra. Whether it be done through a remote API, a database queue or a multitude of classes, loose coupling and sensible, strict and adaptable communication between clearly separated units is my number one priority. Everything else has, at the very least, the danger of encouraging the traces of the architecture astronaut within me... and he's enemies number one, two and three :)

The units themselves can be as good or as thrown-together as circumstances demand, but the separation/communication being of a professional standard is set in stone.

Over thirty years later and so little has changed... I think Alan Kay had a quote about there being no significant new inventions in computing since 1980.
Each fork is a marker of someone who took something to a new place and showed it something it'd never seen before.

On the way, they probably learned something they didn't know.

That seems like a more then acceptable outcome.
On the Reddit discussion of this, someone pointed out that at the particular airport involved when you leave Customs you have to pass through the secure area to exit the airport. There's no exit path from customs that bypasses going through the secure area. That may be the reason people entering the country are checked.
Walter spoke: "Los Angeles Center, Aspen 20, can you give us a ground speed check?" There was no hesitation, and the replay came as if was an everyday request.

It's fame VS value, though.

You incubated the original idea, and to some that's more valuable then improving the technicalities. Ideas are cheap but initial execution is hard.

On the flip side, for a whole other bunch of people, continued improvement is hard, so the maintainers are the heroes in that instance.
