Of course it depends on your understanding of what a "transaction" is. I'm referring specifically to the generally accepted understanding, which considers a transaction cleared once six miners mine the block containing that transaction. 500 transactions are bundled together in a block.

Mining a block is a brute force mathematical operation. The rate of mining is kept at a constant rate by the protocol, to do that the protocol must increase the complexity of mining blocks to meet the arms race of miners competing for the block reward. This means the energy required to mine those blocks is not bounded.

No, that person was just asked to stop doing it and then chose to leave the service entirely as a consequence. They were never actually banned.

The person who was banned was a troll, being rude to other users and posting nonsense to various mailing lists and bug trackers.
The "base datatypes" have to be accessed somehow. If you have base-type Array you have to access its elements somehow. In C-type language you would access the elements by calculating a memory-offset and reading that location in memory. The problem is that now your code depends on elements of Array being stored in memory in specific (relative) locations.

Whereas in an Object Oriented language you would access the elements by calling a method myArray.at(123). The benefit is you don't need to know how that data is stored or where.

In OOP the elements of an Array of course can be Arrays too, whose elements you can similarly only access via a method-call.
Unions need more than a Discord to organize. They may need to compensate union leadership for time taken to organize away from their work duties, pay for events, pay for mailers and other communications infrastructure, and of course pay for professionals like labor lawyers.

No union will have much luck performing collective bargaining against Amazon without working alongside experienced lawyers.

These costs don't have to be huge, but they aren't zero.
The human rights track record of the USA military should for sure include:

* Arming the Saudi regime with intent to sustain the horrors in Yemen

* Extrajudicial killings with drones in various sovereign non-warring nations such as Pakistan and Libya often with far more civilian casualties then combatant.

* Illegal indefinite detention and torture in offshore prison such as Guantanamo.

Those are the human rights horrors which the USA military is currently engaging in. History shows us that it is capable of far worse and there is no reason to believe it won’t engage in in the near future.

As far as security goes there is little reason to believe that it extends any further then to secure the interest of private companies engaging in foreign affairs. It seems to me that the human rights narrative of GPs is entirely fiction.
I don't think we even have a cable with RJ45 in the office I work in. Everyone's on Wi-Fi. All developers. Just saying.
That is only for "Authorized Participants" converting between bitcoin and shares in the ETF. It's the so called "creation and redemption" process and virtually all ETFs use a similar scheme. If the shares trade publicly you will be able to buy them one at a time if you want.
Is that not what I said?:

> Now to see the insanity of the A-->B-->C-->D-->D-->E-->F setup: how can I lend you a chair, it goes from hand to hand from A to F, and at the same time I still have it on my patio?

Securities only have utility when you sell them. It’s more like having a chair in your garage that you’re not using, and lending it to your neighbor. Do you still own a chair? Yes. Does your neighbor have a chair? Yes.

When you want the chair back you simply ask for it back, and your neighbor can either borrow a chair from someone else or buy their own.
Thanks! You have to own the domain before I list it (although verifying it can be tricky), so hopefully we don’t see too much of that.
What is the point of such a crazy schedule? If someone has to do a double-graveyard shift and is basically useless the rest of the week, why not just split that shift into two so you don't destroy all of the people who try to cover such shifts.

People can generally work 4-12 without much trouble or needing to recover after it other than weekends. Doing 12-8 might be an every other night kind of thing. Having a couple people handing those off might just cover it.

That was one of my original ideas. Turns out there’s already an app for that called the Name Game by NameBio.
every day usage: If you also have a PV system you can decide when to run the dish washer, laundry machine, dryer, ... and how many of these "bursty" appliances can possibly run in parallel w/o consuming energy from the grid

analysis/optimize energy consumption, e.g.:

* we moved the freezer from the kitchen to the basement instead of buying a more energy efficient new one

* the pump in our (20yrs old) heating system constantly uses 60W -> the whole furnace is now due for replacement

* determine your electricity base load in order to make an informed decision about the capacity of a battery system that buffers energy demand during the times the PV system does not supply energy

I'd say the real value is in looking into long term patterns (no ML needed).
> There's a similar problem with things like "user interviews." A common pitfall is to ask people which features they want.

Asking what users want is not the right way to do interviews. I advise you read "Just enough research" by Erika Hall. The goal of interviews is to gather enough data points to understand the user needs and struggle, and to know their journey through the product with accuracy, and also understanding why they use or don't use a function. It is not a way to get a "wish list".

Then, designers usually have tons of tools and methods to process this data, take decisions and try creative solutions (usually more than one), and play them back to the users through prototypes to see which ones work better. You can check design thinking as a starter, but there are many more.
Dammit. This falls on a week-end where I have homework, an exam to study for, the girlfriend to handle, and work for my job. When's the next one?
I believe "chrome" has meant "the GUI of an application" for a very long time. I think it predates mozilla, but I could be mistaken.

Grado is not bad, but I don't think their goal is faithful reproduction of the sound either.

I own a pair of Grado phones, and a pair of Sennheiser, high end. There's a pretty big difference between the two.

The Sennheiser is, for lack of a better word, "transparent". It's like the sound is coming not from a pair of cans, but from "out there". It's very easy to forget you're wearing phones. It's like they don't have any personality of their own.

The Grado, OTOH, is very different. The sound is very much "in your face". Can you hear all sorts of tiny details and nuances? Sure, but that's because they were magnified a lot, to force them to become obvious. A look at the response curve tells you why: Grado likes to crank up the high-frequency response on their cans. They are great, though, if you're mixing audio tracks and are keeping an eye out for tiny mistakes.

The Sennheiser is like a wide-screen TV. The Grado is like a microscope. Both are useful, but for different purposes.
I'm guessing that your clients wouldn't be pleased with the PHP the compiler produces. It wouldn't really be maintainable PHP code for them.
Developer satisfaction has been overwhelming? That's now what I'm hearing from them. And what about their users?

It's nice that you've taken the time to respond to people's concerns , but your business model is still flawed--Even with the lastest update.

For starters, you can no longer tell developers that your ads will reach 100% of their user base. With a one-ad limit per day regardless of how many apps they have, this becomes a terrible choice for developers to earn money.

Not that this was ever a good idea. Any kind of Ad that shows up in the background when a user is not interacting with the app is malware, no matter how you try to spin it.

I hope Google will act swiftly to end this.
Look up PXE, many systems already support booting from network. If necessary, you could add a PXE NIC to the machines.
Hope you find it odd that people regularly smoke cigarettes as well. Because the point is not whether a drug is made legal or not by your congress of the moment, but whether the benefits of it outweight the health danger.
I had the same reaction as grandparent, so that's a good question. In my case, maybe it's just because it's the closest drug I've used that matches the description from the movie and I've never tried other amphetamines.

The bright blue skies and sun dappled leaves. The pronounced extroversion and talkativeness that makes you think you're a suave genius. The fearlessness. Like Jay-Z said, "MDMA has you feeling like a champion." MDMA is an amphetamine, so presumably all amphetamines may share these traits. If Adderall does it quite to the same degree as MDMA, I envy diagnosed sufferers of ADHD.
The purpose of the release was to patch bugs found in the recent Pwn2Own contest.
In defense of the fee, you likely won't be playing it for more than six months anyways—once you've mastered vim, you probably won't keep playing it.

However, my response really adds more weight to your idea: since we probably won't be playing the game very long anyways, why not just offer it in perpetuum for the same fee? I bet the author will get many more sales with that arrangement, and their expenses won't really change (if someone does become an avid long-term Vim Adventures player, even extensive usage costs mere pennies in server time and tech support).
Do things like Hadoop count as one or several projects?

Just because its tired, doesn't mean it isn't true.
As a frequent user of Solidworks for ~4 years, I'd have to guess that CAD constraint solvers are not an easy problem.

It happens pretty often that you'll modify a single constraint (flipping it is a common culprit), the solver will get "confused" and flip a bunch of your other constraints around. Constraint conflict resolution also often gets very hairy to almost impossible. Sometimes the fastest thing to do is to nuke a good part of your constraints and start over -- in a saner way.

I guess the BIG CAD packages (CATIA, NX) might be a bit better at this, or at least better at strongly encouraging saner ways of build parametric constraints (which is what I've heard).

It's too bad that there isn't a simple, intuitive and useful free/oss CAD software out there. With the whole hobbyist maker movement explosion out there, a lot of people would be thrilled to have something like that. Though, it seems that things are not very much better in the PCB CAD/CAM world either.
So if I'm making a rice dessert dish for a party, that's typically served cold anyway, I should make no attempt to make it healthier? Instead I should tell everyone not to eat (much of) it?

If there's no change in flavor or texture, this preparation seems like a win win.

> It's amazing to me that any pundit would be stupid enough to claim that Android will eat Apple's lunch based on an analogy to Windows crushing Macintosh in the 90s.

It looks extremely relevant to me, so I'd love to hear a more substantiated rebuttal from you. The market seems to be poised to become a 70% Android lead and the rest split among Apple, Microsoft and Nokia in quantities to be determined.

I'm not even sure Apple will be able to get second place, to be honest, which makes the comparison to the Windows market even more relevant.
I have a friend who is an avid apple user, however she got a super cheap deal from her wireless company for an android phone. And as she says she can install the apps she really cares about (facebook e.t.c.) so sure she might prefer an iphone but cost wise as far as she's concerned she'd be mad to turn down the android because it's "good enough".

And from a development point of view, it's not as if we can easily cross compile apps from one platform to another so with limited resources we have to choose. iPhone or Android, at the moment the calculation is iPhone first Android second, if that changes, and with sheer weight of numbers on Androids side it might, Apple should probably be worried about drifting into irrelevancy.
As someone who will likely be doing a considerable Android port from scratch (hopefully one that does not suck too much) in the first half of next year, thank you for this intel. I think the iPhone user smugness starts at the very beginning - with the swipe to unlock. As Jerry Seinfeld (somewhat incorrectly) riffed in his latest show - "With these new phones you can't get all mad and yell <expletive> and slam the phone down - it has to be (Jerry pantomimes yelling on the phone and then gently swiping to hang up). Jerry also had a brilliant observation on how he goes to lunch with friends and they have their Blackberry in hand and they might be looking at you but they're really not - he termed it - they have painted doll eyes. But I digress, I believe long-term (2011) that you will not be taken seriously if you cannot deliver an Android app. A mobile web site is a poor substitute - and most defy my 1st law of mobile apps - the ability to work with it offline..
Thing is, I don't want a display. My current shuffle (2 gens old) is completely beat to hell (visible scratches and gashes) but still works great at the gym, running, hiking, in the sauna, actually playing basketball with it on, etc... I'm pretty sure any display would have been cracked or destroyed by this point. The Sansa clip is also bigger than the shuffle.

I know I'm a very specific case, but for me the shuffle is exactly what I need.
Happiness doesn't necessarily come from climbing to the top. Some people find the whole ordeal to be rather nasty, for a variety of reasons.

Asking me to look at code on github is not that different from just sending me all the code (other than the fact that you aren't cluttering my inbox with it). What code do I look at? Why is it interesting to me? I understand your point about having a discussion about your code, but you are again asking me to find those interesting bits that are relevant to the position I want to fill. You are familiar with the code base already - it is not difficult for you in your cover letter to indicate that I might be interested in x,y,z in project foo because they demonstrate a,b,c, and I can find the code on github. Now I know what to look for, and I am very likely to go and look for it. That may lead me to explore some other things and will lead to an interesting interview. Even if I don't consider the code interesting and relevant, it still lets me ask about why YOU thought it was. If you don't point me to that, I may just flip through a couple of methods and never find anything that interests me enough to talk about it.

And for the record, I don't like "puzzles" either - even if I know the "trick" to the puzzle, sometimes my brain doesn't work right and I can't think of it after a long day of interviews. I would much prefer to be evaluated on how I work in a real environment, seeing my real code and my approach to real problems as opposed to impossible problems whose solution hinges on an obscure bit of semantic parsing in order to arrive at the solution. But as an interviewer, I don't have unlimited time to evaluate candidates so if you want me to do something, it helps to make it as easy as possible for me to do it.

In the end, I don't disagree with you, but I can understand interviewers that don't make the effort if you don't also make an effort.
Great post. I was part of a team that built a commercial image comparison engine, and worked on a lot of this stuff directly. Feeling all nostalgic now.

Some of the issues that anyone attempting similar will bump into are:

(1) If you're looking at shape features, a heavy dependency on product positioning. We found you need to do classification and use secondary features to get around this.

(2) Avoiding matching on background colours. For flat-background images you can sample the corners. For gradient backgrounds you can need some kind of edge detection.

(3) Shadow removal. A lot of the colours extracted from images are shadows of the actual perceived colour. You can generally pick the perceived colour by clustering the relevant pixels by hue/saturation and picking the middle of the lightness curve bit it varies by material.

(4) Data. Fashion retail products are numerous and go out of stock very quickly so to get any real value out of this specific example you need a nice efficient data pipeline and capacity to handle constant change

(5) Query performance / index size. We used an inverted index based on Lucene to query the data. To get decent relevance you need to include more visual words than you'd typically use in a text query. In our setup we found 25-30 visual words per feature was about right. This meant you needed to keep the index size under a million records, which meant we needed a distributed index. MLT queries are useful here, but last time I looked, which was admittedly a long time ago, Lucene had an annoying performance problem that I had to work around (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1690)

(6) Value prop. Make sure you're optimising for the right use case, because as other commenters have pointed out, the relevance of this kind of system needs to be tuned to what you want to accomplish with it and the kind of data you'll be processing.

Nobody should let themselves be put off by that list though. There's a lot of value in it, and it's a lot of fun to play with. Happy hunting :)
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some place that used "branch" to indicate conditional-only. Assembly language terminology seems to be wonderfully inconsistent. But typical usage these days seems to be as you quoted.
It comes from the cargo manifests that list what is lost.

I am not Muslim, but I was born and raised in a Muslim country, and almost all my friends are Muslim. As you note, in the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk. Right before dawn, they eat seheri, and after dusk, they eat iftaar. During the month of Ramadan, no one seems to lose any weight, mainly because everyone seems to overcompensate during iftaar. Where I come from iftaar food is much oilier and richer than the food people usually eat, and also people tend to eat much more during iftaar than they would otherwise. My friends all regularly report gaining weight at the end of Ramadan. This is probably a cultural thing in my country of origin, but from what I have heard, things are same in other Muslim countries.

It is a whole parser plus number parsing too. Few implementations compile at runtime if the pattern is known.

I think I have similar feelings. The deep reason for me to read about advanced mathematics, theoretical physics and science in general is the hope that one day this accumulated knowledge will let me understand the world we live in in a better way; a hope of getting a framework of thought that allows to experience and do things that previously I couldn't.
As far as I know it works like this: The majority went obese and died out, A small group that did not went obese took over genetically.

Who are your customers? what is the existing market? how is the market segmented? Who are you? What qualifies you for this? What problem do you solve? for who? Why is your solution different? How big could this be? (realistically, based on facts). How much cash do you need? what for? what will be your burn rate? how long before revenue? when will you be profitable? What milestones have you already hit? What milestones do you need to hit to achieve your goals? Do you own the IP? Have you checked to see if you are infringing on anyone elses IP?
There are a lot of variables to computing salary. What kind of industry are you in? What kind of technology are you working with?

As others have already mentioned, Europe is a broad spectrum. Salaries in UK and Scandinavian countries is about comparable to US. When you move south and east from here, expect to see a drop in salaries. On the other hand, living expenses tend to follow that trend as well.

Regardless of salary, do your self a favor and get in contact with a union in the country you're moving to. They will know what salary to expect and they can help you with a lot of legal things. I don't know specifically about Austria, but in Scandinavia, unions have considerable political influence.
Wow. I just realised. Nevertheless, I wouldn't term it racist.
It's a different perspective that believes most (tech) businesses these days are not failing because of their codebase. It's the school of thought that believes the effort invested in exceeding the Pareto principle in writing code will only have a marginal effect on likelihood of success.

Cutting corners during development may build technical debt, but for the first N iterations, it also saves time. The argument goes that it's more important to get more versions in front of your customers than to build the perfect codebase off the bat.

Also, in any startup, you're going to need to significantly adjust the codebase as your business changes products (pivots). All the effort invested up front on a feature that isn't relevant is essentially wasted.

Speed of iteration is the primary objective (to people who think this way).
In the real world the "bright illumination from both sides" solution is called a makeup mirror. Just get one of those and glue the phone to it.
Haha you got me. That's of course correct. So now I did and learned something new. Merci! :)

There will be winners and losers, mostly losers.

Some of the remaining 747's will be flown to the boneyards a year or two ahead of schedule, never to make the transition to freight. This could be the end of them, with a few exceptions such Air Force One.

Then the current requirements related to 'panic buying' or disruption in supply chains are a bubble. Can't invest in something that is going to be over in three months.

These requirements related to the disease won't provide work for the whole industry. Particularly when the depression sets in and nobody has money to spend on plane flights even if they can fly anywhere.
