XCode is an awesome IDE, way better than Eclipse, and nicer than Visual Studio+Visual Assist, which was a surprisingly strong combo.

But, it keeps getting crippled by its need to do fancy UI stuff to impress Steve. Wheee, pretty iChat bubbles for errors! A find using standard Apple conventions! A per-edit file history!

In theory these would be fine, if a bit irrelevant to my daily coding, but inevitably the execution breaks something important that used to work. The find problems are documented elsewhere in this thread, but my personal bug-bear is the file history. You used to be able to cycle back and forth through the files you'd opened in a window, which was an awesome way of building up a working set without having to think. Now if you make an edit, all of your 'forward' history is lost. See the comments here for others bitten by that:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1724655/xcode-3-2-1-file-...

It's not that the XCode team aren't aware of these bugs, all of Apple's internal developers use it and give feedback, but their priorities seem to be driven by demo-ability not usability.
At our last weekly meeting, we were discussing implementing SEO. My gut reaction was to question the decision to work with snake oil salesmen. Luckily, I thought before I spoke.

I think SEO needs a new acronym to differentiate between spammy abuse SEO and site structure/good practices. Maybe Search Engine Readability? Search Engine Compatibility?
They're close enough for me.
But good SEO is mostly easy, common-sense techniques that don't change very often. Bad SEO (gaming the system) is the hard part, and I have to imagine it's mostly the part people are willing to pay a lot of money for.
Minor nitpick on the video, at the end it says "Create and Account"
I assumed people would understand anyone who does this is not a beginner.
As a programmer at a fairly high traffic site, SEO is a way of life for us and we always think of SEO implications. The more difficult problem we have lately is the SEO vs user experience trade off. We dislike whenever SEO is chosen over the user experience.
"feed", as used colloquially definitely refers to what OP means.
So, by giving a definition OP makes clear which meaning we're talking about.

Let's talk about the concepts instead!

The main problem is that users don't have control over their feeds anymore. Which business models could change that?
Hmm. Well, I kind of meant as a 1D plus to minus line, with nuclear being having the extreme negative but also the upside. But I guess, when you put it like that, the transistor has some significant downsides, too.

A bit of a digression: Has anyone done the calculation to see whether nuclear has on net saved lives or cost them? You have the casualties of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and nuclear accidents. But on the other hand, you have nuclear power replacing (primarily) coal, and pollution from that kills, too. (I'm not even talking about CO2, just the rest of the pollution.) So, was nuclear a net win or a net killer? Does anyone know?
I'd love to hear what he has to say about modern life, esp about social media
I’m on parental leave
Sure, but aren’t East and Southeast Asians mainly at issue here?
I don't understand this argument. People are extremely good at inventing purposes for themselves within their context. If you give people a livable but meager amount of money it's true some people will fritter their life away for a while. But a significant portion of the people on UBI will invent a niche for themselves. The ennui itself is a motivator for people to find something useful to do.

The reason people have a problem with UBI is that we have a tendency to equate our moral- or self-worth with our economic productivity. If you don't draw a salary for services rendered it seems like you're not worth anything.

There are tons of occupations people can have that generate no significant monetary value. Volunteering and taking care of children are two such occupations. These both have tons of value to society. So it's clear to me that economic output is not the only source of value. Maybe it's time for society to recognize the value of those non-economic occupations by paying people for them?
That’s an interesting solution! As someone who likes a wider keyboard stance this makes a lot of sense to me, and I think it’d work well with an ISO layout too.
Always makes me laugh. Perhaps something like 10% clueless, 80% disingenuous and 10% feel they are somehow entitled to information that's obviously sensitive or private.
I think part of the problem here is just lack of age. If fully grown western red cedar falls, it will strike other trees, knocking them down or shearing them off on one side, weakening one of those and potentially setting up a game of dominoes that takes three centuries to play out.

That cedar will lie on the forest floor for decades, hardly decaying (or rather, it would if we stopped meddling). No new cedars will grow in that spot quickly, but hemlock may root on the side of the trunk, fifteen feet off the ground in the moss. Between the precarious perch and hemlock being hemlock, that tree will die in turn, creating a new opening that might contain cedar again.
But there’s no reason to think that blacks in particular have a problem with Asians. I’m guessing 99% of us figured this was an income-level (class) thing at first glance but they didn’t mention their income levels either.
> supports one of the following operating systems

Redhat and Ubuntu.

Is that a common thing for software to be marked as "available for Linux" but only supported for 2 flavours?

I guess it's fair, a debian and rhel base would cover "most" use cases.
Depends on what you want - for file sync, there is definitely similar things there. As for generic homelab, I'm writing a similar article atm, and I can tell you, it will be maybe simpler to follow, but definitely not less complex. Everything depends on your needs. What's important here that ideally you only need to do this once, and then only do light maintenance.

The data from the study are available on the PLoS website. The authors coded incomplete documents as mistakes---some participants submitted empty LaTeX documents for the table exercise with hundreds of "mistakes." Since the LaTeX users mean percentage completion was lower than that of the Word users, this may explain part of the authors' finding that the LaTeX users were more error prone as well.
New Zealand has just opened up a 2-way travel bubble with Australia.. In 2 weeks we'll have free international travel between the countries, looking to include Singapore or Taiwan soon after.

We don't wear masks, our healthcare system isn't suffering and vaccines have started rolling out.

We waited, we played it safe - people survived and with industry and government support we're almost past it.
This article doesn't present the full story. I have read many stories about small landlords that are having trouble paying the mortgages on their own properties and risk losing their livelihoods. In New York, landlord Shawna Eccles has been forced to live out of her car for weeks because a deadbeat tenant refuses to pay rent.

Shawna is not the only person in that situation. Here's the story of another New York landlord, left homeless after financially-able tenant brazenly exploited the eviction moratorium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7pbAnaHxXg

This problem is definitely wider than just New York state. Recently a couple in California were barred from moving into their new home by a seller that took their money and exploited the eviction moratorium: https://www.businessinsider.com/california-couple-barred-fro...

While I certainly don't want to see a flood of people that are behind on rent dumped on the streets, the answer can't be to do what New York and California have done either.

EDIT: dear downvoter, why did you downvote me? Are any of the three examples I've supplied false? Or is there some reason that my conclusion does not follow or is otherwise unreasonable?
It’s 44 threads (22 cores). They also compare with tensorflow cpu compiled with SIMD instruction sets on the same hardware.

What other optimizations would you like to see? I would expect the tensorflow team to already pay pretty close attention to performance in cpu and gpu implementations, not to mention CUDNN and such...
Then maybe you should not participate in them when they are here.
Science these days has many problems and this is one of them. Securing grants to finance your further way is crucial. But mostly hard work is only appreciated if there are good, valid and reproducable results.

I discovered another problem while wrting my master thesis and it's also pretty hard to determine good and valid results from papers. There are so many papers out there that are not reproducable especially in computer science. Or the paper is missing very important facts that would help you to reproduce results.

I think there should be a system to remove or mark papers as non-reproducable to prevent wasted time.
Exercise, and you don't have to worry nearly as much about sugar or other foods. Your exercise should probably include high-intensity for carb oxidation, and low-intensity for fat oxidation (zone 2, for at least 90 minutes). The diets people try are hacks to avoid exercise, and to work around the mitochondrial dysfunction that results from insufficient exercise. Worry about diet when exercise isn't sufficient. We've evolved to eat lots of carbs. When you deplete your glycogen stores, which I do multiple times a week, you have to eat carbs like crazy. Carb restriction hurts athletes.
Dude kills two people while wearing a certain color hat matching other people he's spending a lot of time with...

Most of the time under those circumstances, the question of self defense isn't going to enter into the following discussion.
Just so there is a community record of the unrelated Raspberry Pi incident:

A. It wasn’t arbitrary. One of the goals of the Raspberry Pi foundation is access to computing and learning. To facilitate that they added this repository to make it seamless to install Visual Studio Code which as of the time of this writing is one of the most popular code editors and often one that is recommended to beginners

B) despite reports to the contrary, not a single system package was added, this specifically is aimed at making VS Code installs easier[0]

Again concern across the board is okay and things deserve scrutiny, but evidence needs to be provided when making these assertions. I’m no apologist, MS had done some deplorable things, this (and to the extend they were even involved is questionable entirely) is not one of them

Can you think of another “spreadsheet program with scripting abilities” that is already installed on every business computer on the planet?
There have been 9 earthquakes in this region of magnitude >= 7.0 since 2011, including the 9.1 Tohoku quake. Of the remaining magnitude >= 7 quakes, 5 were in 2011, 1 was in 2012, and 1 in 2013, and finally the newest one yesterday.

This is really cool. I absolutely love Alpine, and a lot of these look like they could come in quite handy.

TIL (by reading the source code) that you can add your own $functions to Alpine as well! I will definitely be making use of that functionality at some point.
Yep. I have tinnitus and when I enable ANC all I hear is tinnitus... as expected

Is there any reason that this wouldn't be solved by spending an hour with a colorimeter? Do these displays not expose any calibration controls?
Google built Chrome and then AMP. I assume, Reader fell short where Chrome excelled, and hence the Google axe.
Yep it's possible. We have two connections - viasat and a fixed hilltop wireless and I can't remember which one was active when I last had a video call, but my partner has video calls daily and I know he's done it when that connection was active. But I can't recall how pleasant it is.
They run out of money between when they place the order and when they had expected to pick it up?
Any advice on how to start messing around with BLE? Is there a good adapter to buy for packet sniffing and whatnot?

I have a new interest in BLE on account of myself recently becoming bluetooth enabled.
To be clear, you're stating that the Librem 5 and Pinephone, with their hardware kill-switches that prevent current getting to the GPS, modem, cameras, BT & wifi radios, and microphone, will still be able to determine where it's been when power is restored to the above radios?

Because I'd like even a pie-in-the-sky hypothetical for how exactly this would work. Keep in mind, there is no inertial navigation in these devices; no pedometer, no low-power fitness tracking, nothing else.

I'm not sayinmg I know it's impossible, but I'm deeply curious how in the world you can make this assertion in good faith, or with any credibility.
> But the internet took a detour. Centralized social platforms became the dominant way for creators and fans to connect. The platforms used this power to become the new intermediaries — inserting ads and algorithmic recommendations between creators and users while keeping most of the revenue for themselves.

I don't think that's an issue, plenty of people now making a living thanks to the internet, even though discovery is a hard problem (and thus ads are a flourishing business).

Cryptocurrencies (not NFTs) remove intermediaries, but they don't fix or improve the discovery problem, which is the real problem. There's still a million related problem, and cryptocurrency solves one of them.
How are you dealing with internet connectivity? Also car/van dwelling here (dipping my toes in for a few weeks) while taking a break from employment. I'm starting to get attached to the nomadic life style, lol.
Is this just the second coming of cellular automata?
Best approach to data is that if it can't be seen or read (through any means) then that data can't be abused or misused.

This is why end-to-end encryption should be a first choice for pretty much everything.
Congratulations, you spent 20 seconds in Google and have once again arrived at the wrong answer. Actually, you have now reached multiple wrong answers: you can't recreate a Mac layout with just some stickers and I have zero need for Karabiner.

Just because you can put a round peg in a square hole doesn't make it a square peg.
The "flesh wound" in question is complete lack of accountability and oversight of police officers, not this one instance of them playing music.
Is the Python type system improving or is it the type annotation system that's improving? Big difference between the two.
In addition to what the sibling said, a big part of the S4TF project was proposing changes to Swift's type system. I'd also point out that there are not one, not two, but three type checkers looking into tensor typing for Python. What's more, Guido is on that committee!
It's not a put-down to Mozilla at all. I'm sure they chose Rust for very good reasons, and they achieved a great result. I'm not even arguing that C++ should be used for this. I'm just saying it's absurd to claim that C++ could not be used for this if you really wanted to.
I was using a Microsoft ergo keyboard, among others, for years and suffered from what I thought was going to be lifelong tendonitis, making life rather difficult as a programmer.

Then I started using this keyboard and my tendonitis went away in a few weeks and never came back. Thank you Apple.
> As previously stated, the MP3 codec was refined using listening tests designed by european audio engineers and featuring the music they chose. In a sense, each of these songs acts as a resonant filter for every file encoded in the MP3 format. Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega, Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, a Haydn Trumpet concerto... these songs carved out the space of sounds that could be successfully encoded as MP3's.

Does anyone have a full list of the recordings they used for these listening tests?
Check out r/tmobileisp for users discussing the service.
They had a huge advantage then. No email.
> You realise how weird this sounds, right? Presumably you donate because you care about the Mozilla mission, and those ads are there because donations alone aren't enough, and relying purely on Google's money is also not a great strategy. What do you want them to do, invent money out of thin air?

If Facebook made 32.03 per user last year, I think it's fair to say that Mozilla will probably do even better if they offer an ad-free subscription option for e.g. 36/y across their entire suite of services.

It's not weird to expect Mozilla to do their best to try and remain solvent.
Pretty much, but the time frame is either seconds (if both banks support SEPA Instant) or the next business day.
I am not trying to be a smart ass but how about this for an human incentive: Build us plane that fulfills these outlined objectives, that meets are budget requirements, or we will shop somewhere else.
Of defense contractors, Oshkosh is one of my favorite and makes amazing vehicles. I think the USPS will get a reliable and durable platform from them. As far as electrification, they have experience with that in the HEMTT and could upgrade the platform as the USPS dictates. They also have autonomous vehicle experience so there is a lot of longevity to the partnership. So as far as government boondoggles can go, this sounds ok to me.

I have an Oshkosh P19, an aircraft/structural fire truck. The thing is unstoppable with a fully locked drive train on demand and great construction quality. They also fixed a bunch of issues in the FMTV that were inherited from BAE Systems. The MTVR, JLTV, and HET are all well regarded AFAIK.
Or Crtl+L, for those on 60% keyboards ;)
The ESRB isn't a governmental body, its more like an ISO/ASME. What's being discussed is to write laws that would be enforced by a governmental-body, not by an industry-body, with fines/penalties/criminal-indictments collected/issued/enforced by that government.

Once legislators are involved, the ban on games sales would happen at a country-legal level, albeit only for children. Did I get that wrong? Does anyone here know more about the ESRB that I'm missing?

Edit: As luck would have it, the US Supreme Court settled this particular argument a decade ago: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/10pdf/08-1448.pdf
Somehow I’ve missed this feature over the last ten years ... so, thanks!
About a month ago, OpenAI released information on their latest project -- a neural network which aims to generate images from text[1]. The results were impressive and the work received a lot of attention in the ML community. The repo linked in this post includes a small portion of the code used in the model. Perhaps I'm missing some context as well, but the code itself appears to be remarkably generic, not particularly interesting, and basically useless on its own. Perhaps the repo is in its early stages and more interesting developments may come later. I'd assume it's simply being upvoted because of all the OpenAI fanboys. Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken and there is something remotely useful in this repo.

> Both are very famous examples of how depression can be creative.

That probably had more to do with their substance abuse.
I've lost all faith in The Verge after seeing junk about apps like Slack being down, therefore causing the "editors" to not know what to do with themselves. Great journalism.
That would be forking, no?

They're not appropriating it. They're just creating another reverse proxy.
I doubt it. TechCrunch actually does provide a lot of value. I think the chopping block will be limited to meme-sites like PawNation.
Number of syntax errors is extremely weakly predictive of program correctness, and figuring out correctness of arbitrary source code is extremely difficult.

This is why the bread-and-butter of GP is in symbolic regression. Rather than deal with programs that do literally anything, we focus on evolving mathematical expressions. Given a set of data points, can you find a regression equation of some variables that minimize the error on the training data? There are no syntax errors to worry about, no early termination, no control flow, just a small fixed set of arithmetic operators, numbers, and variables. And by keeping the domain in numeric functions, you get a free error metric that is generally sensible.

There is talk in the field about the future -- can you evolve a web browser, for instance -- but this is very futuristic at the moment at least.
Not a lawyer, but in this particular case it appears they reaffirmed the lower court stating the vendor couldn't sell products with trademarked Greek organization lettering (though he could make up ones using the Greek alphabet as demonstrations) and that they could continue to sell their "double raised crest backing" paddle which the group was requesting they be banned from doing.

So the trademark was protected it would appear. Even though the infringing company makes a good case (laches) for selling said products without regard from the fraternities/sororities for decades (in fact, they were selling to these organizations, so they were generally aware of the company's existence and practices).
It's easy for me to shake my fist at them, but if I think about it, maybe their subscription business model might be one of the only things that work.

For example, if they opened up their platform, then people could just choose other content sources that are free or pay money into someone else's pocket, like other group classes.

Otherwise Peloton could try the eShop approach where their group classes compete on an eShop where they take 30% of the cut, but that market is tiny and still has to compete with just using your iPad while you pedal.

On the other hand, I'd consider buying one if there was more to do than group classes and maybe I'm not alone. I'm not cocky enough to think I know what the masses want, but it does seem like their lack of ambition about what can be done with the bike could be leaving a lot of money on the table.
They’re the same port. TB4 is TB3 + USB4 + two display support (and maybe some other things?). The M1 isn’t compliant because of the display limit, but it does have USB4.
Intermittent Fasting is not only great for weight loss but also your general health and wellness and mental faculties, Immune boosting.
azure does this for resource IDs and its one of the few things i really enjoy about the platform.
that'd be nitpicking the wording, the best-effort is resource-constrained, this is not what's happening in the US, the resources exist but policy is to only make them available to a minority of the population.
You know, it's not the first time the Capitol building has been stormed by the protestors. Before this, there was a BLM protest and they managed to hold the building just fine.
> I think we reached peak multiscreen ~2010 and it's sort of falling out of favour these days

When we upgraded monitors at work I took several of the old ones to see how many monitors I could connect. I got up to 5 I believe (with one being a new ultrawide). It was impossible to use them all productively. At best they could serve as live status for some Jenkins job. Two monitors are useful, but now you can just use one ultrawide (I like to use two cables since it makes Window management easier, but you can use software for that too). I like to have one extra in addition to an ultrawide, but it's often unused.
Keeping track of units was one of the first ever uses of C++ templates (one of the Bjarne books IIRC mentions it existing prior to the STL), but was apparently reinvented multiple times later.
