That seems incredibly scary to me. When something is that insane, what stops it from taking the next step of insanity? I'm sorry that it happened to you (let alone six times), and am glad you made it out ok.
IBM doesn't report its headcount in the US any longer, but in 2009 IBM had approximately 105,000 employees in the US, based on congressional testimony (via this article http://www.computerworld.com/article/2520399/it-outsourcing/... ).

IBM has 431,212 employees worldwide (according to their 2013 annual report).
I think this point is important to creating a wide spread adoption of encryption tools, and here you present one of the major barriers to adoption.

As much as I hate this term now a days, some way to gameify the idea of using encryption might help spur people's use of the technology. Once enough people have adopted a specific app or software then it's much easier to bring outsiders onboard.
I want data to go the other direction: a physical typewriter that can impact letters onto a page from a digital text file. Seen anything like this in your searches? I'd bought one on eBay that could type from floppy disk but it arrived broken.

(What I really want is a USB-driven daisywheel printer.)
> Especially with a network connection, it should have no problem breaking out.

You're just assuming that. Why would it have no problem? Because of reasons we can't understand? In that case, "hyperintelligence" is equivalent to saying "omnipotence" in this regard, and as such we can easily dismiss it as an option.
There are many capabilities sizzle.js provides that go beyond CSS specifications (and also in some cases that are in the specification, but not yet implemented by browsers). Selectors can get pretty nasty, and having more flexibility available can help to make them more manageable. A lot of times you wouldn't want to use the more complex selectors, but it's certainly nice to have them.
While I also prefer dark mode overall, the majority of dark editor color schemes strain my eyes more than light ones. Primarily this is because they use really bright saturated colors or solid white text on dark backgrounds, which makes my eyes strain as if they are looking at LED headlights during a night drive. OS X uses nice muted yet distinct colors on both ends of the brightness spectrum. I wish I could find an IntelliJ theme that matches the same spirit.
Since it’s open source they don’t need to move the foundation to protect the design. They’re moving to protect their ability to collect dues from companies tightly controlled by governments that commit human rights abuses on a massive scale.
Light modes were arguably worse on CRTs, especially if the refresh was 60Hz or less. I couldn't take Word for Windows at all seriously until Windows NT and 85Hz CRTs appeared.

I currently use both light and dark themes on Emacs, with a shortcut to toggle between them. Solarised is a great theme for this, as the text colours are the same for both modes. I originally started using a light theme during the day, as so many other apps already do and I disliked the sudden change in brightness when for example switching between Emacs and a web browser.
Don't let your brain fool you. You need to also take a moment to think about all the times it didn't go in your favour.
Ignoring the fact that a transmissive X-ray image requires something to be on the other side of the object to catch the rays that pass through, have you ever tried passing X-rays through metal?
I think it’s fair to mention that none of those companies you brought up were tech companies, strictly speaking. They utilized technology, but that wasn’t their main product. Even the MVP of Uber could be made by one programmer over a weekend.
How does it do that? It seems like graphing equations by hand on graph paper would help understanding better. And my personal experience tells me that rote practice increases task fluency. Do you have any citations to back up your claim?
this is frustrating because I have diplopia and so my life looks like: https://i.imgur.com/IHWBflS.png when you have white text on a black background. This affect doesn't happen on "light" mode systems...
Both of those have subscriptions independent of the paper, and I gladly pay them. (Though if you like spices, at least double the amounts in the Asian recipes.)

I also pay for the digital newspaper. Just as I subscribe to certain local papers only for a particular investigative reporter or basketball beat writer, there are parts of the NYT I find valuable and others that make me want to cancel. It'd be nice if I could 'tip' part of my subscription to the writers of the articles that I really liked.
Eh, I can listen to music for 16 hours a day without hearing damage if it's not too loud. So what exactly would that mean? Like dont drink 212F coffee because it would boil your throat?
There's no accusation. Everything I said in my post is opinion. Please read the original post, in its entirety.
It's counter-productive too.

I was friends with a guy who was really into InfoWars in the early 2000s. I'm no longer in contact with him for unrelated reasons but I have to think that keeping friends who weren't in that world helps people from falling deeper into it.

Isolating people from good ideas doesn't seem like a great way to change minds.

Or, on the other hand, perhaps you'd appreciate being informed that your "recycling" service is a scam.
It wouldn't make sense in the context of the sentence.

"Le phénomène décrit me souvient..." would sound wrong in the ear of a native french speaker.
> Huh? What's the "shape" of code?

The code itself is the shape of the code, to an appoximation. Isomorphic applications run the same code (or big swathes thereof) on the client and the server, so that the common core exists only in one place.

> It's not actually the "shape" that's the same, it's the HTML that it produces. It would be more accurate to call this Isohtml or Isoproduce or Isooutput apps.

A port of an application would satisfy that criteria, but would not fall under the moniker of isomorphic. If you have a better term to qualify applications with extensive to almost complete code-sharing between the client and the server, feel free to try and popularise it, but so far your demonstrations have been sorely lacking.

> People say Isomorphic when they don't know what they are saying, and want to sound smart in greek. Idiots.

Heh.
hey sorry for super late response -

I use INIZ.com + Gandi for DNS.

So basically, I point multiple DNS entries to the same server, and setup NGINX accordingly to reverse proxy each different site to a different upstream app
You don't use another interface when thinking "IO type" instead of "IO monad". It's all about what words you use to explain the types of the interface.

For example, when you write 1 + 2 you are probably thinking of (+) being addition on integers. But a mathematician could also think of (+) as the operator from the group (Z, +, 0). Groups (a concept in abstract algebra) generalize integers, but you do not need to know group theory to do arithmetic. But it's the same operator nevertheless! Just two ways of talking about it.

Similarly, when you write putStrln "Hello " >> putStrLn "world!", the "IO type" way of thinking says: (>>) is an operator that glues two IO actions together. The resulting combined action performs the argument actions sequentially from left to right. The operator has the type IO a -> IO b -> IO b.

But you can think of (>>) in more general terms. It is not meaningful only for the IO type. It is meaningful for any type that happens to be a monad! That insight may be useful eventually, but probably not for a beginner Haskell programmer just wanting to do some IO!
> The article says "it drives tweakers nuts because it’s the one unchanging thing on the desktop. There have been heavy debates on how to hide it, but for the interim it’s here to stay." Really? You get the same thing by right-clicking (or long press on a touchscreen, I imagine) on the desktop. Having an omnipresent widget is redundant and annoys people who don't need it.

I usually use right click, but you know that you can customize your mouse actions on the desktops and set right click to other stuff, like showing a running applications menu ?
Shame on your friend!! I feel your anger...

As per usual, it was meant to be read as "Avoid: (Success at all costs)" not "(avoid success) (at all costs)".
No, and there's nothing wrong with this.

Actually - I didn't read the article very carefully, so I may be completely wrong here - it looks like the OP uses a bit incorrect term. To me it looks like the word he wants is "applicative", and the opposition to it would be "concatenative" (see: http://evincarofautumn.blogspot.com/2012/02/why-concatenativ...).

"Imperative" is usually contrasted with "declarative" (and not with "functional", which TFA seems to suggest) and in practice most languages are imperative to some degree, even the ones which are said to be "declarative" are most often not purely so (but see Datalog).
Thanks for the feedback.

I think you misunderstand my project. I am not trying to steal people off observable, I think that Observable has the right technology and the wrong product.

It literally infuriates me that Observable is taking the "community-based data viz" route. In my opinion, they're sitting on a mountain of gold, and they just don't know how to dig it. They raised $10m, but hired 25 people in SF half of whom are dataviz guys. WTF? They won't last much with this kind of burn rate.

I very much doubt that they have any growth at all, considering how they are asking their users to share their stuff, and seeing how little active their forum is.

So what's going to happen when Observable goes down?

I would much rather join them and use their distribution channels to build a product like Jig which I feel can work in a business environment, than doing it on my own...
Not any more with IPv6 ?
Another way for semantic shift to occur:

- You have a word, and it has a meaning. The nature of this kind of thing is that this word will be used more often in some contexts than in other contexts.

- Someone who knows the meaning perfectly well extends it a bit in a straightforward way. For example, "illuminate" primarily means to shine light on something, making that thing easier to see. But it can be used in an extended sense to refer to making a "murky" concept easier to understand. Anyone who knows the primary meaning will understand why the secondary meaning makes sense.

- So now we have one context where the word is likely to mean one thing, and another context where the same word is likely to mean something a little bit different.

- But the world changes. The old context may become less common. As that happens, what was a metaphorically extended meaning may turn into the ordinary primary meaning.

- All of this happened without anyone learning the wrong meaning of the word. It was always being used correctly. But the meaning shifted anyway.
Do we really expect to see many Docker images published that are compiled for ARM? Sure, I expect to see base OS images, but I'd find it hard to believe that many people are going to take the time to cross-build and publish an arm64 version of their container image alongside their x86_64 version.

I guess to some extent that might be generally useful, what with things like AWS's Graviton ARM processors, but I expect it'll take a while.
I think this is an interesting cultural difference.

There is such a thing as a Dutch keyboard layout and keyboard, but almost no one in the Netherlands uses them, as well as configuring one's system to be in Dutch, because it leads to such problems as described.

My entire system is configured in U.S. English, though most of the spelling I use is closer to U.K. English, but I find that it leads to the least problems in practice.

If it were configured to be Dutch, then troubleshooting would be a mess. — this is a common mentality in the Netherlands to never have any electronics or website configured to be Dutch, even when the option allow itself.

Special characters are usually input using the U.S. International layout which which allows one to type, say, “schöne scheiße”. quite easily.
This is extra silly since the non-slang meaning of "cock" in English is more or less the same as "coq". Why not just change the logo to a rooster that doesn't look like a dick?
You mean, paying them well?
You can't steal people. You can kidnap people and you can hire people. Maybe if you kill them you can steal the body? You sound like an anti-piracy advertisement. "Piracy is theft".
Sorry, who's favorable to the amazon unionization push that is giving a pass to minimum wage three layer deep contractor workforces? This is not the argument anyone is making. They want better working conditions for everyone.

There is extremely good documentation on Amazon low-end workforce abusive practices. Not being able to take bathroom breaks as a driver or warehouse worker because the quota is set too high is a problem. Just having slightly higher than federal minimum wage does not solve those problems.

Working at amazon fulfillment centers IS a bit of a hell hole. The contractor workforces are also hellholes. Poverty in the US is a hell hole. Amazon should not be defended, they should be forced to treat workers with human dignity and respect, because clearly they nor their three layer deep cleaning contractor workforce peers will do it otherwise.
You can customize the synonyms backend, instead of being tied to the built-in thesaurus completion.

Yes, I have been asked this exact question before, and I must include the comparison in the README.

I hate the Word from ten-or-so years ago, when I used it. Allegedly newer versions are better. I like LaTeX because I know its quirks (e.g. placing floats). I don't know any Word/Powerpoint Guru, but my collegues are very good with LaTeX.

I admit that I have been a Word-hater and I stopped doing it, because I don't know the current Word. Guilty. I have to use the current Powerpoint now and then and hate it, but that might just be my ignorance.
Older versions of the Adobe Reader plug-in often hangs for example while the PDF is downloading.

> And yet that is not what is observed in practice. See figures 1 and 2 of that paper

Yeah... that's why the paper is a good contribution contrary to what you're saying. Not sure why you're repeating this information.

> What I am complaining about is that the authors are confusing "what can be represented" by a neural network with "what can be easily learned" via SGD. I argued that the peak in test loss in those figures is observed becuse SGD struggles to find a solution that generalizes well, not because those networks are intrinsically less powerful (as the paper seems to imply).

I mean.. those models are by definition less powerful as they have less parameters. The (to me) main point of the paper is to point out a symptom which is interesting. Their explanation for the symptom being (maybe) wrong doesn't detract from the important work of showing the symptom exists.

A legitimate criticism would be that there have been earlier papers showing the same thing.

Sidenote: It seems having a larger model does make it easier for SGD to find good solutions[1]

Marx was right about how we metabolize forms our conscious reflexes. Someone raised working class will have working class perceptions, eg goals, which are different than someone born with more calorie affordances. But he denied that humans are spiritual creatures. So it is an absurdity to believe that religious activity - which, say, requires “material patronage” including transportation costs, apparel, etc. - only serves a metabolic function in relation to the activity involved; be it a house of worship celebration or other spiritual activities such as the performing arts. Everything can be considered from a “materialist” consumption standpoint - and following his logic, your spiritual life is a form of domination by those who can consume more than you.

Doing something for the love of it, say raising a family, is dismissed in his doctrine which is utterly hell-bent. Or what Arthur Schopenhauer opined:

“ To say that the world has only a physical and not a moral significance is the greatest and most pernicious of all errors, the fundamental blunder, the real perversity of mind and temper; and, at bottom, it is doubtless the tendency which faith personifies as Anti-Christ.”

Master and Commander is really good for more recent history of the Napoleonic Wars era as far as clothing, language and customs.

Outlaw King (netflix movie about Robert Bruce) is bad, but a leap better than other medieval outings - they at least try, the armor is sloppy, ill-fitting, and anachronistic but the weapons, clothing and heraldry are really good.

Others more expert than me have mentioned Henry V (1944) with Laurence Olivier as being the best movie attempt at 15th century armor.

A company that makes clothes and merchandise for 'viking' enthusiasts kick started a short film that is absolutely excellent in terms of language, clothes, and attitude of the very late Viking period, although they too fall prey to the Vikings-as-bad-ass-biker trope on occcasion. (Not to mention the romantic sanitization of all the unsavory activities any early medieval raiders or pirates would get up to).

China and India are the two largest smartphone markets in the world, and I am thinking in these big markets carrier bundling isn't a thing at all.
Of course fair use is moot if API cannot be copyrighted in the first place. But the court seems to say that this case would be fair use even if API is copyrighted.

"We shall assume, but purely for argument’s sake, that the entire Sun Java API falls within the definition of that which can be copy-righted. We shall ask instead whether Google’s use of part of that API was a “fair use.” Unlike the Federal Circuit, we conclude that it was"
For the most part I like the Samsung software. At least the bits that I do use. DeX in particular is a nice option to have. I had a Pixel 2 and replaced it with an S20. I actually prefer the Samsung software over Google's customized Android. I may be the minority online but given the relative sales figures I suspect people like me may be more common than you think.
This. I bought a Sony smart TV because it had much, much better picture than competition at the same price level. In the first firmware update they added SambaTV. Now it's best to just keep it disconnected.
Because they tend to take extreme or simplistic positions in opposition to any sort of nuanced or interpretive view of the law.

Agree the headline makes it sounds like it was done live. In fact I don't see why the drone bit is relevant here, any shaky footage would have done.

Some more challenges involved with using live footage to control a drone (using a companion computer and talk to APM using mavlink to control the drone realtime)

CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING according to the docs:

CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING:

Select this option to enable fine granularity task irq time
accounting. This is done by reading a timestamp on each
transitions between softirq and hardirq state, so there can be a

The "Never" part is not only impossible to prove but also a useless prediction. Just talk about the present and near future instead.

For those time frames I fully agree: there is no AI, it's just form without function. A shallow copy of one part of what writing is about. Just like makeshift wings strapped to your arms is to true flying. An expression of a wish, not even close to a result. Writing a novel involves living, having experiences, reflecting upon them, things that computers are nowhere near for now.

And here I agree: anybody who presents current solutions as writing AI is just marketing bullshit. Having the article stop at this would have been a lot more fair.

But if you also want to talk about the far future: I think it's just as wrong to say "never" as to say "it will surely come". People like to give examples of things we thought impossible but turned out doable. Pure selection/survivorship bias that proves nothing.
Yeah that is what i download on my Windows PC for running Java programs too.

However what pron writes isn't to be dismissed as it sounds like Oracle/OpenJDK developers do not care anymore about backwards compatibility and looking to force people into not relying on system-wide libraries so they can start breaking things in newer versions without user-facing repercussions (i guess developer time to upgrade code doesn't matter, probably after years of webdev everyone is already accustomed to the idea of wasting time on fixing their dependencies instead of working on the task at hand :-P).

IMO this isn't a good thing as basically the biggest benefit Java always had was its stability and ability to run Java programs going back to Java 1 days (Sun even sued Microsoft about breaking JVM compatibility - and won).
"Up" is away from the center of the gravity well.

Since gravity wells are generally spherical in practice, up is always going to point radially outward, so there's no distinction to make.
I suspect it might be because the OP is about getting your account locked out, and several commenters have said that even paid accounts lose access to human support when they're locked out, so it's not actually a solution.
