The entries in our ansible git repository are supposed to be that log.
Your take seems a bit 'hot' too?

How else would you install the cran packages without using install.packages? Unless if you want them to recursively install it using groundhog but that seems unnecessary.

As long as you have the timestamp it should work, though I assume there will be some edge case.

What you're saying is like don't use pip because you don't install it using pip? Or don't use package-lock.json because you can't install npm through npm?
It's not theft.
Isn't that why we have experiments, to check the predictions of models?
Yup same. Three boys (5, 3, 1) (and ? on the way) who will love this book.

Berkeley, apparently.
Lying doesn't seem like the best way to start a new professional relationship. Perhaps you could share your salary expectations instead.
Yes, MillenniumIT started proving services for CSE first and then moved to Malaysia, Boston, London, etc based on the initial platform developed for CSE
Netflix has nothing to do with product fragmentation. It is just entirely about Netflix refusing to get in the business of creating DRM systems. Android does not have a systemwide DRM scheme. This may be a failing of Android, but it is not fragmentation.
Yep, also not quite the same verbage. I would put most of the weight on the change to this headline, as well as its better styling with the whole website
A mentor of mine always says: Do you want to be the one who reads the news, or the one who makes the news?

1. It sounds pretty to me but I’m not you and if you have other options then so what.

2. Make sure you’re not just looking for excuses to cover up insecurity or imposter syndrome.

3. Do not tell them (because of 1).
The point here is that while it is perfectly reasonable and probably desirable to encourage people to become proficient in mathematics, there is an enormous chasm from there to most modern research mathematics. The sports analogy is that while it is good idea to encourage people to be physically active, for example by playing recreational basketball, it would be completely ridiculous to expect even a strong amateur basketball player to be able to hold his own in the actual NBA.
Thank you. My yes (which was left off of the quote for some reason) includes intellectual property. I, like many people, are aware of the concept of intangible property. Dollars in my bank account are another example of intangible property.

I'm curious why you included a statement about IP existing for a long time. Is there something about the duration of existence that makes something important? Descriptive statements are notoriously difficult to transform into normative statements.
One may foresee these changes by determining whether one lives in a post-scarcity society or not

A variety of corporations that donate heavily to the party that has been running Texas state government for 20+ year made a tremendous amount of profit when the PUC/ERCOT drove power costs to the max which has resulted in those corp donating heavily to the politicians who allowed it to happen so corruption can't be ruled out.
>That's what I figured-- it's fairly obvious: "why would unrecognizable cops have a symbol on their weapon?" "Gee, maybe so other cops know they're cops?".

What's obvious to some is not always obvious to others.

>Why this is news or on hackernews is beyond me though.

TheDrive isn't so much a news website as it is a magazine. This article is more informative than anything, and going back to my previous remark, it educates those who might not've thought about this sort of thing before. As to why it's on HN, same reason; not everybody would assume as much.
I’m sorry but if you’re a couple of police officers in a room full of literal terrorists, of course you’re going to try to be as restrained and friendly as possible. You’re horribly outnumbered.

They would be murdered if they tried to take on the crowd. They needed to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and meanwhile do their best to keep the crowd from going fully insane.

They managed the situation with very few people getting hurt, and protected the politicians. Which is pretty good considering how few police there were.

The main issue is why were there so few police there to begin with, so this could’ve been prevented in the first place.
You are not rambling. Thanks for sharing.
Yup, classic bait and switch tactics. Act like a saint, get a ton of users, then milk them dry.
I'm not sure it's true. Do a quick search on Google news and click some links -- there are plenty of results that don't have numbers in the url.
"Dedicated to the eradication of sports"

Um, OK. Nuff said.
Perhaps I'm mistaken then and should have spent more than 5 minutes on it. How I wish this iPhone had View Page Source.
That makes sense.

Edit: Now that the sun is up and shining through our windows, the duty cycle of our (natural gas) furnace has dropped way off. I'm pretty sure our energy usage today will be less than on a 100 degree day.
wow :D did not know
Bitcoiners proposing that POW networks will bring about breakthroughs in energy production would be hilarious if they weren't destroying the planet while doing it

Cryptocurrencies are here to stay, environmentally unsound ones, probably not. Play your part and stop using/investing in cryptos that have a high carbon footprint.
> How much longer do we have to deal with this crap…

I fear this human trait is something we'll have to deal with for a long time. An uncomfortably high number of people would be perfectly OK with driving the bus shuttling others to the extermination camp.
Maybe I'm missing something, or for the OpenJDK team, JRE means something else, but how AdoptOpenJDK still provides JRE builds [1] for all versions from version 8? You are saying that their JRE build is JDK but 4x smaller?

> The security story for embedded runtimes is both easier and safer, because each and every application needs to be updated anyway for vulnerabilities in the application itself or its dependencies, and embedded runtimes have a lower attack surface-area, as they include only modules the application actually needs.

So, you are saying that if someone discovers a security bug in Java/JVM 11.x (assume the latest official version), it is a better practice to update every application on servers instead of just pulling down newer JVM build and let package manager do the magic? Sounds promising /s :S

The handbook is not the law. You would have to dig into the actual legislation for that.

Normally one would assume that they want you to stop at any distance behind the line because nothing else makes sense in context.
As the article explains the charges are not tariffs but VAT and handling fees for the customs declaration and VAT collection.
Sometime last year I tried Session and while the idea sounds great it needs a lot more attention before I can use it in anger - but I'm a fan of the idea.
You don't. You divide 60*7 by 7.
How else would you divide 60 by 7?
"If you start with reusing code, you will never be able to code anything new but will always rely on copying other people. You will also always copy other people's mistakes without noticing."

I disagree. Not sure in what capacity you are speaking of "starting" (ie. third line or third language), but I find this statement to be (in my experience) false on both ends of the spectrum. Maybe I am just arguing an irresponsible use of "always" and "never". :)
I'm not particularly defensive here, just fishing for people who'd like to help on the idea - which I came up with right on the thread above.

The thing is, the dns-backtracking-browser-plugin sounds like a simpler and more doable approach compared to anything else I've heard of. Any more elaborate approach would have to settle who owns a domain and that's not any easy thing for the present system.

It would certainly need to be system/browser specific but otherwise doesn't sound hard. Indeed, I could do it in a couple weeks and a really smart person could do it in a day.

Obviously it's a stop-gap. The distributed peer-to-peer client featured here a couple of weeks ago is a far more robust solution. (see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1985431). That would include a system fairly similar to what you describe.
You could get a VPS and run a streaming app. There are lots of free apps and my VPS costs me $4 a month, with more storage, speed and bandwidth than you need for that.
Students are not customers. They are products.
Well, I did point this out - and having rebuilt a few houses in the city when I was younger, I admit the wood frame approach is economical and affordable too. On the other hand, concrete and steel are equally viable but seem relatively unpopular for residential buildings.
I have a VPS and guess I could do that... still seems like there should be a commercial service that does this by now.

I am not sure about "incredibly simple" in general though. Look at how insanely sophisticated the P-51D fighter was, for example. But sure, something in engineering as we see it today, and around it, has been lost.
I do remember these discussions around FCAS, the French-German F-22 if you want. The concept called for a Gen 5+ stealth jet and supporting drones. The jet itself should also be a strike bomber. And then the official concept papers say, that these jets in engangement with comparable craft, will end up in close dog fights. Because both sides see each other rather late. In these dog fights, a dedicated air superiority jet will beat a multi-role strike bomber. They also want to have the strike bomber capabiliy covered by the drones. I was basically laughed at when I asked why the manned FCAS element would be anything else than a specialized dog fighter.
If I can change the laws first, then the other side will have to pay me. How to decide what's the best "starting point" for a Coase bargain?
Honestly, I've periodically considered heading back to Emacs-land to see how things have changed.

I used to be an Emacs user back in the early 2000s but Emacs pinky hit me something fierce (it's my own fault; I have poor typing style so I never use the right control, and I could never adapt to the control-capslock swap) so I jumped into Vim and never looked back.

But I gotta admit, Orgmode, among other things, has me feeling a bit Emacs-curious these days... ;)
And from the UK's perspective, this useless aircraft has also driven the production of two useless aircraft carriers.
I tried Rust this past weekend. It feels like a language that delivers on the promise of C++ -- fast, good "static" tooling, no VM, scalable to large projects -- but if C++ was designed today, with 40 years of hindsight and we could eliminate all the crazy legacy.

Something I realized doing c++ professionally for the first time last year, it's nearly three different languages. There's an inner core of procedural C, the mid-90s new/delete/raw pointers OO business that got big during the heyday of COM/ATL/other Microsoft technologies, and then what's come to be known as "modern C++", with smart pointers and a lot more automatic stuff.

What I most enjoyed about C++ is how, as someone put it, it feels like an armory with everything on offer from a pocketknife to a nuclear weapon. It integrates with everything, you can write code any way you want from embedded assembly up to functional, and it runs everywhere, on any platform, and can link with Android, Windows, Linux, .NET, Java, whatever.

I'm starting to think garbage collected languages are headed for obsolescence. Like maybe, with better languages, we could ditch all the bullshit of pip, and gems, and all that, and get back to a time where you could just download something, run it, and not have to worry about some gigantic runtime environment that eats all your memory and requires a ton of configuration. It we could pull that off without making it incredibly hard to write simple code, that'd be cool.
This is a pretty terrible accusation for someone who you know nothing about. Why would you take the argument here?
I really wanted to play with RISC OS on my Raspberry Pi 4, but the operating system doesn’t even have wifi support.
If you want to run the country you should be willing to put your money where your mouth is, since you expect the rest of us to die for it.
Interesting...being the winner of a programming contest was a negative factor when they evaluated later performance at Google.

Gym owners should band together to make a cooperative owned alternative to MindBody. It’s a disaster. Any group of companies that are hyper regional and don’t compete should try this. Same thing with restaurants and Opentable/Ordering Apps.
In most states you can get a bond, both for personal and business vehicles.
When I bought a home, I got a wave of homeowner spam mail with "postage-paid" envelopes. I started mailing them their own mail back, torn to shreds, in their prepaid envelope, and eventually it stopped.
Yeah, if I select the cells in the way you just described then I get both the rows copied, again. It does sound like something in the Mac port. Certainly I would find that an annoying behaviour if I saw it.

Tangentially, and perhaps weirdly, if the ranges I select don't span the same columns - eg. if I select A1:B1 and C3:D3, a dialog box pops up upon Copy which says "This function cannot be used with multiple selections". Even though the ranges are still the same size. That seems undesirable, to me.
Hi fpgaminer, an related comment this is.

I read your comments about 3 months ago on a FORTH post:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20865684

And you mentioned that you are developing a game that completely emulate C64 interface and players have to write programs to control the starship through it.

THis is very interesting idea (I'm actually playing an elevator emulator which has the same idea), and I'm wondering if you have a homepage or something?

Thanks in advance! Wish we could see some serious programming games in the future. Whenever I play System Shock or Alien Isolation I think that the hacking part could be more interesting by actually asking the player to do some simple programming...
The technical term is "hairline," though that tends to get used primarily in fonts that have high stroke contrast, of which Computer Modern is most definitely an example.
https://weboob.org/ will become mainstream.
Were there people moving in to replace the deceased? Is the building shown in the article at maximum capacity? And finally, I'm extremely curious about the criminal justice system. The brief article mentions a Sheriff and I assume there may or may not be a deputy also. It also mentions a pot bust. What happens to people arrested? Are they detained until they can be transported to a nearby town with a court system, or do the police just hold them for what they deem to be an appropriate amount of time or until the cell is needed to house the next arrest? I imagine since everyone knows everyone, the police would know anyone they arrest (and their family) quite well.

Sorry for the barrage of questions, but I found these points very interesting.
Depends largely on if/ what charges get filed against them.

You can in Australia. I am and have done so for many years. This was also the case prior to Covid. The tax office did make some changes last year to make it easier for people to write off certain expenses when working from home. [1]

These changes did not impact me though however, as the new "quick and efficent" method still provided me with a much smaller tax return than documenting all of my own costs. [2]

Based on some similarities between this idea and a certain strand of thinking in nuclear engineering, I believe MacOS will be locked down at around the same time as fusion power becomes commercially viable, i. e. twenty years from now.
would love if you shared how it changed your life, I'm always skeptical about these types of things that I end up abandoning after a short time. thanks!
its google voice but for pay.. doesnt that defeat 90% of the purpose?

i use GV because its free and because it emails me voicemails.. and when i need to call overseas..
but when getting rid of the low/free cost most of the incentives are made irrelevant
Yeah, it doesn't really make sense to report on "science" PhDs in aggregate. The market for CS PhDs is probably about as closely related to marine bio as it is to poly sci.

That said, I still think that even the "useful" STEM fields you mentioned are lagging behind the professions that can take (as the article pointed out) 1/4 to 1/6 of the time to completion, which much higher completion rates (and less rigorous prerequisites to boot).

By the way, I remain extremely enthusiastic about majoring in hard science, math, cs, or engineering. These majors set you up really well for entry into the workforce. You can contribute immediately in a high impact way, and I've found this notion that you'll be viewed as "merely a coder" to be greatly overstated. There are all kinds of great directions to go from starting out as a developer (including remaining in development). But PhDs clearly don't pay (not surprisingly, you see a much higher percentage of US citizens in undergrad programs in STEM fields, since this is the economically rational choice - at the grad level, the rational choice is to go to law, medicine, or MBA programs, or just get to work and enjoy a salary).
There is a huge difference between calling for help with setting up your VPS and calling to ask why their servers are down and when one can expect them to be up again. I can understand that they won't handle the first type of call, but I damn well expect them to handle the second.
> I just had an extremely annoying experience the other day with a VP in my company. Long story short, he decided to question what I was spending my time on and why client engagements took more than a 45 minute meeting

Ask him to do a client engagement and let you observe so you can do better in the future.

One of you will learn something.
The two aren't really comparable. With Newtonian physics there were clear signs decades before Einstein that something wasn't right, the clearest example being the perihelion precession of Mercury: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_problem_in_general_relat...

In modern particle physics the main limitation is lack of experimental data. To get that data we have to build giant and expensive experiments like the LHC. Even if the LHC is completely successful we're still going to need bigger colliders to test other things at even higher energies.

Another problem is that the current theories make predictions about things that we probably won't ever be able to measure directly due to the microscopic scales involved.

To name an example. We think that gluons exist inside atomic nuclei, but we can't observe them unless we break the nuclei apart, thus destroying the gluon's habitat. We think it's there because we see what looks like the energy of a gluon falling apart, and because mathematical models back it up.
I don't know if this allegory for chasing your dreams or not but I like it.
Similar scenario -- though I admit, a lot of what I was doing on the computer during those years was probably 'deadend'. A lot of my formative years were spent digging into MUDs, building computers & just random nerdery as a whole.

Despite a lot of it simply consisting of mucking around, a lot of generic information and knowledge stuck consistently. Despite being told frequently I was 'wasting my life away', in the process I was slowly sponging in information that would later assist me in launching a startup that nowadays employs even my father. :)

I do wish that early on my parents were more supportive of my passions and interests, and it's a mistake I hope not to make with my own children. When you see passion in someone, be it with any topic, it shouldn't matter whether or not it's something that can generate financial stability. These days with the sheer size of the internet -- there's a market (rule 34 I think ;)).

Do what you love, find interesting ways to fuel others with your passion and you can make just about anything pay the rent.
Oops, I totally forgot about this.

Thanks for sharing your experience... It differs a lot from mine.
This is one of the best articles I've read in a long time. Long, yes, but very, very, valuable.
Still stuck on 7/11 :(
An anecdote: I have restless legs, though it does not terribly bother me. (Perhaps if I shared a bed with someone, it would.) I am a frequent runner – I can bang out a marathon 5 nights in a row each night for exercise – and it doesn't seem to have any impact on the 'restlessness' of my legs.
"Their" is totally a gender-neutral 3nd person singular now.
It is interesting for me, in a lot of ways, that MMORPG developers scorned virtual items sales and claimed they would never work (and later, that they would never work in the US) for literally decades while simultaneously trying to stamp out thriving markets in their games... and then Zynga blindsided them "out of nowhere" with how much money could be extracted through sales of virtual goods. There was always a strong ideological component to the "no real money transactions in our games" -- and for a while it not only defeated the clear business benefits of swapping stuff for money, it successfully convinced the industry that that was an unviable model despite them being literally engaged in a losing holding action against that very model.
> A fairly easy way to introduce rotation invariance in DCNNS is to perform random rotations on the inputs during training. Likewise for scale invariance. Translation invariance is already introduced by the convolution operation itself.

Just to be clear (and I'm sorry if I'm being pedantic), you're talking about invariance of two separate things. In the first case, you're talking about the invariance of the overall network, F(x), i.e. if R is a rotation operator, F(Rx) = F(x). The network's prediction does not change for a suitable set of R's.

On the other hand, convolution is a shift invariant operator, meaning it acts the same no matter its location. If Cx is the output of a convolutional layer and Sx is a shifted signal, then C(Sx) = S(Cx). This is not shift invariance of the output.

The shift invariance of the operator means the convolutional will detect features that resonate well with its kernel irrespective of the location of their location in the signal. However, this does not automatically guarantee that the network's prediction will be shift invariant, i.e. F(Sx) = F(x).
No, but you shouldn't buy one for every bathroom.
