I don't think hardly anything here will help Linux running in a VM FWIW. The unknowns are mainly the Apple specific IP blocks which aren't exposed to VMs.
Thank you, this is the part I find most relevant:

"Models in general are generally considered “transformative works” and the copyright owners of whatever data the model was trained on have no copyright on the model. (The fact that the datasets or inputs are copyrighted is irrelevant, as training on them is universally considered fair use and transformative, similar to artists or search engines; see the further reading.) The model is copyrighted to whomever created it. Hence, Nvidia has copyright on the models it created but I have copyright under the models I trained (which I release under CC-0)."

I wasn't able to tell from the faq how qbix tries to achieve what is claimed in the comments. I would be interested to hear about that.
Since 2014, F1 cars have a turbo charger and a single exhaust pipe in a very clever hybrid drive system with two electric motor-generator units. In case you didn't follow F1 last year, there was a lot of complaints about the lack of noise.

The noise coming out of the exhaust pipe is wasted energy. In previous years, this wasted energy was utilized by putting the exhaust pipes to blow the diffuser, creating more aerodynamic downforce.

The 2014 F1 cars consume a lot less fuel (fuel tank is 100 liters vs. 190 liters in 2013), with very little loss in actual performance.

100 petabytes of information (100 million GiB) feeding their index is more than I would have expected.
Nobody wants to promote Emacs. The users are just so happy that they feel the need to share the experience.

Example: I have an expensive keyboard imported from Japan. When I tell people about it (and let them try it), they order one immediately or they come up with some reason why they don't like it and then want to have an argument? But I don't care! I'm not in the business of selling keyboards, I'm just a happy user. Buy one, don't buy one, it's all the same with me.

Emacs is the same way. Everything I've needed in Emacs I've written myself. Other like-minded people have written other things I like. More users would mean more extensions, but it doesn't really matter, there are already enough. So if you want to use Notepad, knock yourself out. It's your life.
I agree. The depiction of old index looks better, that to me means failure to communicate on their part.

The most success i've had with my 8 year old is building games in Roblox and the LUA scripting that comes along with that. We also have written some MicroPython to drive a small rover. With kids, or my kids at least, you have to be able to show some tangible results quickly or else they get bored. ...kind of like dealing with your boss.

another thing that my 8 year old is really into that surprised me is networks. Explaining how networks work and how he can start a minecraft server for him and his brother to play but his school friends can't because of the "firewall" has him on the edge of his seat hah.

edit: i want to add that i don't bother with explaining programming concepts like object-oriented design or algorithms just very simple cause/effect. Then to simple if condition effect. I get excited and end up overcommunicating and then boring my kids, it's like trying to start a carbureted engine without flooding it. You have to do give them just enough info to get started and hope it catches.
You can be proud of whatever you like. The problem was you declaring that your ethical system was universal.

Most of our ancestors had no problems personally killing and consuming animals. Your abhorrence of the practice is not universal.

I am glad for you. This is maybe cold comfort for young people, unfortunately. Most prefer to settle down much before then or at least date first. Nobody wants to become the 40 year old virgin irl.
The problem with words coming from some, uhm, ideological framework, is that by using them you kinda implicitly accept the framework. Which some people refuse to. To imagine how it feels like, try using words from a framework you strongly disagree with -- even if you construct a sentence you technically agree with, it just feels wrong.

Sometimes the words become a part of common vocabulary so much that people talk about e.g. "third-world countries" without necessarily accepting Mao Zedong's Three Worlds Theory (or even being aware that such thing exists). Words like "privilege", however, still have their origin obvious.
Re: USPS, I’m still waiting to hear the interesting part.

The USPS is legally obligated to deliver mail to every household, 6 days a week. The private carriers don’t come anywhere close to meeting that level of service. Most of the US is incredibly sparsely populated. There won’t be bicycle contractors lining up to deliver mail up the Adirondacks or across the Great Plains.

How would a network of private interests handing off parcels between each other under government regulation deliver better service than a single organization with the problem already solved thanks to 200 years of domain expertise?
>States want crypto precisely because they'll be able to fully control the finances of citizens.

Like they largely do already? How do you think cryptocurrency substantially changes any of that?

>The Chinese central bank has filed hundreds of patents for CryptoYuan and is fast-tracking its efforts to back it with gold so they can win the crypto war. Must be nothing.

DCEP differs from existing cryptocurrencies because it is legal tender, centralized, and not anonymous. It's backed by Yuan deposits for crying out loud! It's nothing like BTC! The Chinese government's plan is to digitize the yuan, not introduce a separate cryptocurrency. They're doing it to capture the missing part of the population not in the existing banking system (and thus the multiple methods of surveillance employed to track citizens and control their liberty).

>You have no idea what the value of a smart contract is, because no one really does.

Thank you for helping prove my point.

>Judging by the progress of technology, I'd say we're about 5 years away from being able to download the full Bitcoin blockchain within an hour.

Your _guess_ is irrelevant and unsubstantiated. The fact is that 40% of the world's population isn't even connected to the internet and even less than that have access to broadband indicates to me that it will be more than 5 years before the average user can download the staggering 321GB of the full BTC blockchain.

You're mistaken if you think I don't take cryptocurrencies seriously. They're very serious, but it doesn't make them good or right.
The U.S. has no interest in NATO beyond keeping Europe free. Don't think for a second Russia wouldn't pull a Crimea in the Baltics or Poland if NATO were dissolved. And then what, the European Parliament will suddenly get its act together and figure out how to counteract a superpower? Any attempt to do so will last precisely as long as it takes Russia to shut down energy supplies to Germany.

I think Zwarte Piet is racist only when seen through American lenses. Which unfortunately today is the norm, but that doesn't make it more sensible. Zwarte Piet is basically Santa's little helper, as they exist in many traditions. He's black so he's represented by people with their face painted black. The fact that blackface has a connotation of racism in a country where racial laws where abolished only in 1964 has nothing to do with the substance and meaning of a Dutch Christmas tradition.
For "frontend" web applications, you need so much abstraction that for me it's always about choosing between frameworks rather than languages. (Spring, Laravel, or Rails?)

Unless what you want to build is tiny and simple and you don't need a lot of features, or it's so massive that you can invest on building everything that you need.

One or two tests can confirm cases for a whole town. They simply (and safely) assume that all flu-like illnesses coming from a certain area are covid.
Are you using Python 2.X because you are maintaining existing code, or because Python 3 is just plain unsuitable for what you're trying to do?

I hear a lot of complaints about Python 3, but in my (limited) experience, 3 is better than 2.X in practically every situation I've experienced. But I've never had to maintain anybody's old code in it, either.

Yes, but I'm not sure it's the government's place to decide how much educational content is required for "kids" content.

I agree that there should be some reasonable restrictions on advertising, but deciding what is a waste of time doesn't seem like it's really in the government's authority.
Not any consumption, just live broadcasts. Watching shows from a week ago on e.g. iPlayer is totally fine
The bitcoin folks correctly point out that if cash were invented today it would be made illegal. I suspect that if unmoderated conversation with strangers were invented today it would face a similar fate.
dyld on Darwin has an API to ask if any pointer is to a read-only section of a binary. It’s useful because you can e.g. skip strcpys and other allocations.

This is a big point. I feel it’s acceptable for google to remove whatever they want because android allows you to install the apk directly. IMO apple should either be forced to allow side loading apps or to accept everything within reason to the App Store.
Ah, I had never seriously associated the expression with that. I'd heard of the committee, and have some shallow understanding of the whole McCarthy era (as we vaguely call it over here), but I have always dismissed that - as far as idiom/the vernacular language goes - as a corruption and a glitch.

To me (not an American), unAmerican still implies "a bad sport", it doesn't carry the negatives associated with the McCarthy thing - which, to me and my peers, was decidedly unAmerican - a perversion of the sentiment that's for decades been acknowledged as evil and dismissed accordingly.
> slide backwards from traditionally liberal ideas spawned from the enlightenment

It's not by chance that enlightenment ended in the terror the first time around, people should read more about the past.

If creating an "autonomous zone" in the middle of the United States isn't sedition, then I don't know what is. If you want to forgive it because it was a bunch of deluded incompetents, then you should probably forgive the Capitol seditionists for the same reason.
If you could tell me some of the specs of your system so I can check why it is so laggy that would be great.

One thing that is hacky/a problem with the app is that I wanted to be able to hash tag notes and have the hashtags a different color. Also very soon i'd like to add the ability to highlight text. It's pretty hard to do that smoothly even with the contenteditable attribute.

I decided on a transparent textarea over a div and I sync and transform the content. It is a bit clunky as you say but I anticipate it will get better.
> Something like 9-11 happens and we blame our national security officials. Something like the Boston Marathon happens and we do the same.

Lots of people might, but a lot of the younger generation most certainly doesn't - these are black swan events. Given that they don't happen more often, I'd say the Government have more than enough power - you can't stop 100% of terrorism, just like you can't stop 100% of crime.

> We should have a very high threshold for using these communications against people, and making sure they can only be used for matters of the people's security.

We already have laws which empower the Government with additional powers in cases of "national security". The result? Suddenly, drug busts are national security.

Now, that's not to say the Government should not have some well-thought-out powers to combat terrorism if they actually need them. What they have now, and what you are proposing, is not well-thought-out.
This is a great post to get people thinking about the amount of time and effort that's required to build a great user interface and work flow scenarios.

It took me a long time to appreciate the difference a great interface makes for an application. For me the problem comes from the original team that start building out product. They are working on sweat equity, don't have a $1 to spare and are rushing to market. If they don't have a designer among them, the design and usability gets moved to 'When get some traction, we'll redo this' and it never gets re-done and more items are piled on top of the quickly made UI. By the time the product ships the UI is almost unusable.
I understand what you are saying. With the growth of Android, and its position in the smart phone market, it is not surprising anymore, and really isn't news.

That being said, the popularity of these posts is probably because there are many who would love to make an extra income doing what he's doing, and it is inspiring to see that it is possible month after month.
You tell the reader the very real/important fact that the mental model we use to solve the problem in code isn't the same metal model the user will have, even though the programmer is so accustomed to that model it will certainly heavily influence any UI they would design. Other than encouraging the reader to understand the use cases and use that as a starting point for an interface, you don't really explore where to go from there. It is a valuable starting point, but isn't much.
The article starts on a false premise:

"The masses still have regular cellphones that don’t capture video, let alone hi-def video"

I happen to live in South America, and.. surprise, surprise.. everybody (that wants one) has a cell phones with video capabilities. They're beyond crappy, sure.

The 2nd most sold cell phone in Argentina and Uruguay by mid-2010 was the Nokia 5130, and it does video (Video recording at up to 176 x 144 pixels and up to 15 fps):

http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_5130_xpressmusic-2569.php

The year before, the 2nd biggest seller was the Nokia 5200, which also does video (it sold millions of units here, was the most desired by teenagers, and even I had one :) ).

There are also millions (in units sold) of Chinese knock-offs you in the 1st World don't know exist, with video capabilities, built in TV tuner, dual SIM and more. I've seen them all across South America, from Peru to Paraguay to Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.

The top seller was the Nokia 1208, just because it's the cheapest and simplest, but most of the other entries also do video (The Sony Ericsson W205 A, Samsung GT E2120, LG KP 570 and the other Nokias). No iPhone in the top 10 sellers.

The second point they make is I suspect wrong as well: "They’re the people who buy Flip camcorders". I had never seen or heard about Flip before its death.

Math is not a single linear path. EX: You don't need to know long division to get Algebra.

You can even go the other way. If you say 4a + 8b + 4 = x, and a = 10 * 10; b = 10. Now divide by 2b. Want to explain another base, say a = 16 * 16; b = 16. etc.

PS: My father even taught a first grader long division that way. (Note: I think he used x1; x2, x3 and he soon move to the traditional form.)

Edit: My point is if you want to build a house you can start with a foundation, or the windows. Keep studding math and there are plenty of opportunity's to review older concepts with new insights. Buy trying to focus on each little nibble in isolation it's harder to link concepts. EX: The sign rules are really just the associative property of addition and multiplication in another form. {-b + a = a + -b = a - b} {-b + -a = - ( a + b) } {-a * -b = (-1 * -1) * (a * b) = 1 * a * b}
I completely agree. If I'm in a coffee shop, I'm not going to catch a bit of a stranger's conversation focused on the app that I just rolled out, but that happens constantly at work, and I'm pulled away from what I'm thinking about.
It looks similar to args4j in Java: http://www.whenbrainsfly.com/2009/05/args4j-is-magic/
You should check out a domain auction site like Sedo.com to see if you can find similar domains and what they are selling for.
I find it hilarious that this guy who claims to be "author of three bestselling books" tried to get his next book designed for free; and then changed that to a "small" flat fee.

I need a diagram. I'll use the one on wikipedia's visual angle page.

At 11 inches, 1 inch has a visual angle of about 5.2 degrees. But the exact number doesn't much matter. You can set two instances of the visual angle equation equal (one for the unknown distance and one for the definition of retinal, an inch long at 11 inches distance), and simplify to give you what similar triangle ratios would too. A length, s=D/11, for the side of the similar triangle opposite the eye, which by the operating definition of "retinal" has 300pixels along it. So, we can use s as a scaling factor, 300ppi/(D/11)="ppi you need at distance D to be retinal". Solve for D instead if you wish.

That might not even be clear with the diagram, sorry.
I am glad you have now learned something then :)

Thanks for the feedback. Negative criticism, I was certainly engaging in. I'm not sure that I'm attacking a "straw-man group of developers," though -- I certainly never meant to convey, for example, that all developers are bad at user interface design -- but I did say "most" so perhaps I was painting with too broad a brush. And agreed that I could have provided concrete examples -- perhaps a future post.

It's essentially regression testing. Rubyspec specs out the behaviour of Ruby according to what MRI implements, so any failure is a change in behaviour from the initial implementation. Most of the time this is undesirable/unintentional.

For me, but only in specific areas at certain times of day. I'm guessing it's a location with only one tower in the vicinity, because it happens when a particular intersection near my workplace piles up with cars during rush hour.

My work location also causes my battery to drain almost twice as fast.

I'm in the dense suburbs with plenty of medium-sized businesses, and a few large business branches (FedEx has a warehoure house 2 blocks from here, and Enterprise admin offices are nearby), so I'm not in the sticks or anything, but also not the city proper.
Yes, Drupal and Joomla are probably the most used, tough after having used both, I must say that Drupal is as hard to learn as it is powerful. If you don't want to spend a lot of time on tweaking up your site, and don't mind if things aren't perfectly like you want, you may probably be better with Joomla, or even Wordpress and a couple of static pages.

I like rbanffy's suggestion for google docs, but otherwise I'd go with joomla. Or you could search for something open source which is for project management. Drupal is nice, buts its heavy to use for something so small.
