I've kept my reciept for the cable equipment that I returned when canceling my service. 6 years ago. I plan on keeping it until after I'm dead (don't know what my next of kin will have to deal with) just in case.

I don't feel that I'm being paranoid.
Many gamers deeply resent the gaming industry and they are at least a "warm" audience. Microtransactions, DRM that imposes a significant performance penalty, single player games that refuse to work if not online (or worse, have multiplayer aspects required to progress in the game, but servers get shut down), massive pre-order hype-trains for games that turn out to be hot messes, games purposefully turned into grind-fests (right now, people are hating on Forza for heading this way.) Then there's the bullshit like (initially) variable refresh rate monitors that only worked with a particular brand of video card despite industry standards for VRR. Basic peripherals that require bloated, proprietary, borderline-spyware drivers to work. Benchmark manipulation. Etc etc.

Talking to gamers about the evils of paid proprietary software and hardware should be relatively easy. But because Stallman is so fundamentally incapable of reading the room, and so exceptionally talented at alienating people, he manages to put out something that gamers look at, laugh, maybe make a meme or two out of, and then forget about.

> but the problem is that Richard Stallman is one of the most influential and respected members of the movement

Stallman hasn't been influential in at least two decades. He's so extremist that anyone actually interested in getting shit done has ignored him. He is completely lacking in perspective-taking, empathy, viewing anyone as anything approaching a peer, or even managing just to not talk at/down to them. He openly pities everyone, thinks us all stupid fools.

I think there was limited respect for Stallman's original concepts and his vision. But in the decades since, he's generated little to no work product, and mostly come off as jealous and bitter.

Any mainstream-open-source-community respect he had, he lost much of when all the stories about him being a serial sexual harasser (if not borderline predator) came out, and then his comments about underage sex...which to make the matter even worse, he's been nothing but petulant and defensive about.

Stallman is not a statesman, a diplomat, ambassador, or a leader. He's just an ideological zealot who has held back the open software movement by refusing to acknowledge his skill set, demeanor, and behavior are not suitable for representing and advancing the open source movement, and that if he truly cared about said movement, he would have long since changed his methods or let someone else take a whirl.

Some folks see him as a genius, but all I see is man who has spent over four decades yelling (largely) the same thing from the top of a mountain, thinking that one day everyone will suddenly see the genius and wisdom of his grand plan. Who lacks the self-awareness to recognize his lack of effectiveness, and the selflessness to step aside and let someone else try carrying the mantle.
Yep, I built up to 5k right before the pandemic then stopped back when we had no damn idea how it all spread.

Just turned 50 and I built up to doing 5k every other day and I've been doing that consistently now for over 2 months.

Its gotten easier, I'm dragging ass in patches now rather than most of the second half.

Doubt I'm going to start marathoning, I'm going to try to stick to 5k for life more or less. I know eventually I'll want to push up to 8k to 10k occasionally to get my 5k times up. But generally I don't want much more than a 30 minute per day commitment.

And I started in the middle of winter in Seattle, so I've already run through all the wet and cold and windy. Could have used my scuba diving gear a few times...
That makes sense for posting, where Tor users often get a CAPTCHA etc, but I can't even read it. If I go to any site on SE, I'm hard blocked, I can't even fill in a captcha to bypass it.
So now after the IPO, Nvidia can buy a controlling part in ARM or do a hostile takeover.
If issues such as verbosity and whether or not to have closures are not part of the language design process, then what is?
They kind of did the "phased way" with Vue 3.1 and the component level compat mode.
Timestamps are crowdsourced, not AI generated (AFAIK). It is 100% accurate of most of the videos. Since it is crowdsourced, less famous videos or videos with less views won't be skipped during the sponsor content, but we can be a good citizen and add the timestamps ourselves to help others.
Most people never notice. The ones who do get an explanation of what happened when they ask about it in modmail.

It can be rough on a brand-new account that wanted to jump into a discussion right away, but at the same time the quantity of spam hitting your subreddit once you pass the 100k mark is just ludicrous, and this is by far the most effective way to stop it.
It is as strange to read Burrhus Skinner as it would be to read John Tolkien. B.F. Skinner has always been so stylized.

>What is an ABA routing number?

The ABA routing number is a 9-digit identification number assigned to financial institutions by The American Bankers Association (ABA). This number identifies the financial institution upon which a payment is drawn. Routing numbers are sometimes referred to as "check routing numbers", "ABA numbers", or "routing transit numbers" (RTN). Routing numbers may differ depending on where your account was opened and the type of transaction made.

Does your Canadian USD account have access to the US domestic payments system, so you could make deposits into it over ACH with a routing number and account number?

Don't quote me on it, but I think deposits can be made to it through ACH. The relationship in transferring funds between Canadian and American banks is only quasi-international.
GitHub Pages is one of the most shocking hacks I've ever come across. Not the worst mind you, just the most shocking. Most of GitHub is clean and good. But making a magic gh-pages branches is simply horrific. I'm still somewhat dumb founded that's the best method they could come up with.
SEC rules. To do that you need become a trading advisor (similar to a hedge fund), which requires that you have made over $200k/yr for the last 3 years or that you have $2.5Mil in your own assets.

While I've done consistently well so far, I've only been at it full force a few years, and I started with my own cash which isn't nearly that much.

The followup is usually turning this into a business and getting investors... if you looked at my resume not much would make you think I have the skill set for this (though I've spent 3 years building this on my spare time). I'm also not sure I'm really up for the whole start-up thing, I enjoy my somewhat relaxed work schedule/hours. I value my personal life more than this stuff.

I'm open to suggestion on that last one but it's not something I've done before.
I am actually referring to the software itself.
That's true; on the ATMega32u4 it's the 2.5kb of RAM that kills you. The 16MHz clock speed is plenty fast for most microcontroller applications. That's why Microscheme is just a subset of Scheme; there are no continuations or runtime eval in order to save memory.

It's true that there are no structs, but it wouldn't be much of a stretch to add them. There's a discussion of writing a macroexpander in another Scheme runtime like Guile which can compile macros to microscheme output. (This is a bit like how ClojureScript lacks runtime eval but allows you to write compile-time macros in Clojure.) Writing a define-struct macro that compiles to vector-ref at runtime would be pretty trivial once you have a macroexpander working.

https://github.com/ryansuchocki/microscheme/issues/8

If you're interested in hacking on a small Scheme implementation, I'd encourage you to give it a go. The author is very responsive and friendly.
I've heard that a lot in the last hour. We'll be looking at all of our options once we get the service restored but that's priority #1.
Back when I was doing a lot of Swift programming, this seemed like such a great idea. Since then I moved on to Julia. And when I looked at the ML code for Swift and compared it to Julia, I was thinking "How on earth could anyone think this was ever a good idea?"

Doing machine learning stuff in Julia is simply much more user friendly than doing the same in Swift. Swift is nice for iOS development, but I think in data science and Machine Learning Julia will always be a much better choice.

It is a pity Google did not go for Julia. Julia has gotten exceptionally far despite limited resources. With Google style resources, Julia could have been massive.

Despite modest investment, the Julia JIT beats almost anything out there. It would have been amazing to see what they could have pulled off if they had put the kind of resources that was put into the JavaScript V8 JIT into the Julia JIT.

Julia uses a method JIT, which are quick to implement, but which makes latency gets bad. Meaning if you load a whole new package, running the first function can cause some delay. With a JavaScript style tracer JIT added into the mix one could have probably managed to have both high performance and low latency.

Alternatively with more investment they could have had better precompile caching, meaning libraries that had been loaded in the past would JIT really fast. Julia does that today, but it could have worked a lot better than it currently does. It isn't that it can't be done, but it just requires resources.
I'm waiting for CI to run.
Ethics in AI are already an ill-defined and gigantic field, and while I agree with your point on diversity, Google is a business that wants to create value. How do you create value with ethics? By positioning your product as being less biased than the next.

There is a lot (really a lot!) of discoveries that are needed to identify and "fix" biases in DL models. The current method actually used is to test the obvious. i.e. "does our model work as well on all skin colors" which is far from being a robust and systematic method.

That's what Google actually needs and there is still a lot of fundamental research to do before getting there. Having ethics researchers writing papers on BERT generating too much CO2 is not only something an accountant could tell you, it's also not actionable as they are already trying to use zero-carbon electricity. Having researchers focus on inequalities in the US is good but it's again not actionable without the fundamental methods that need to be developed.

TLDR: Google needs researchers that are trying to solve the hard problems of the DL algorithms, not that get side-tracked by problems that are a matter of public policy.
I managed four concurrent "half-time" gigs once.

Probably my most lucrative month ever.
From a physicists standpoint, not seeing something unexpected is not a waste at all.

You're responding to someone else now.

I'll quote myself:

> I don't really have much to disagree with you about, but maybe you want to check the "monopoly" claim.

If you want to have a debate, we can. Name something you want to disagree on.
That's fascinating. I just checked my contract and it doesn't mention working hours at all.

However, I'm not in tech, and prior to COVID, it physically wouldn't be possible to work multiple jobs remotely. So perhaps this is an artifact of that time.

Some of the other comments suggested there may be actual laws against it, I'll have to look into that.

Off-topic, but I discovered that recent legislation made my wage confidentiality clause illegal.
It's not necessarily just processes.

There are also more experienced people who are just very good at certain types of tasks with the result that they can bang something out in a half day and everyone else assumes they must have spent a week on it. They're still generally available the rest of the time but they can produce what's considered high quality work in very little time. Of course, one needs to have that skillset and it helps to be mostly autonomous.
Greenland might not have an efficient market for bribery.
I find comments of this type bizarre. C++20 is trying to make the language -less- complex by deprecating the aspects of it that make things gross. Yes, for it to still be C++, you have to "add" the modules feature to the compiler, but the whole point of adding them is so that you -don't- have to think about include's. All of the disgusting complexity that results from doing literal textual inclusion goes away if we all use modules. Instead of having mandatory ifdef's in every header, repeated compilation of the same code, humongous compilation units, separation of implementation and interface (except for templates!)(and inlines!), you get... the interface we know we want.

If you have arguments with the implementation that's one thing, but what would you prefer? That the language just stay still, warts and all? Ok... well then just keep using C++03. But you probably don't want to do that, because '03 sucks, right? Ok, and what would make it better? ----> All the things they're trying to fix via C'11 through C'20...
ICANN, world governments and the entire TLD system are incestuously intertwined. ICANN is a US corporation mandated by Clinton and George W. Bush.

I am using it for the site http://www.quotezuki.com. It has been working out pretty well, and Roberto the main developer is very good about helping people out on the mailing list.

I use it with nginx since the uwsgi module is included in nginx starting at 0.8.40.

I should point out though that if you are using uwsgi_pass within your nginx config, you will have to use uwsgi_* configuration variables instead of fastcgi_* variables for things like read_timeout.
This is a great resource, and makes for great reading after finishing the NTSB reports. My personal take on the Nesvizh incident was that it was made to be 'too inconvenient' to remove the key from the panel and the operator became complacent; simply hopping over the man trap via the motor housing was easier than the correct procedure. I'm not sure how the pressure plate was defeated, but what was the logic for a plate tripping while the key was in 'run'? I think in modern design a safety relay would have been tripped, and be unable to be reset until the source had returned home and the lid was locked.

Edit: to expand on the pressure plate, maybe the logical fault was assuming the plate couldn't be accessed without the mantrap covered, requiring the key removed from panel.

nope, icloud is great at both losing and duplicating data reliably.
> If use of C++ declines then I don't understand how that would make the language a lesser tool.

The hypothesis is that C++ will decline because it becomes the lesser tool (where "lesser tool" means it excels only in increasingly small niches) if it doesn't adapt. That said, the C++ community seems to want to adapt and remain relevant, as indicated by its significant progress over the last decade.

As for why someone might care about the usage of a programming language: because "ease of finding developers" and "quality and breadth of ecosystem" are major factors in deciding on new projects. I.e., "the best tool for the job" is often the one with the broader ecosystem and more developers, all else equal. So these factors feed back on each other.
AFAIK this is the same attribution strategy that sweden uses. It has likewise been cited over here (sweden) as contributing to the comparitevely high numbers.
Or for example, old cables and improperly installed cooling fans might tend to get fixed during a move. Hard to know for sure.
I was merely commenting on why HTML itself doesn't have the features you mentioned. But yeah, authoring HTML in SGML is the most natural thing given HTML's origins. It doesn't have to run as a static site generator since SGML can run right in the browser and in the web server backend (see eg my project here [1]). Though using SGML as static site generator from the command line or Makefiles is also extremely useful, and maybe the most appealing for developers or when static site hosting is desired ([2]).

An interesting observation, which is even more damning for Intel: moderately multicore CPUs from AMD are made in an effective and efficient way, while Intel, despite boasting about their advanced packaging technology, is slow to adopt heterogeneous chiplets and is paying the price of this technological rigidity. This is in addition to miserable failure with new processes.

Do you see getting the most of limited 7nm production capacity as "cheating"? The only fair comparison is in the resulting performance and TDP, and Intel remains seriously behind.
If you're curious, just throw in some disposable email (like yopmail.com). Having an account is part of the solution (where you don't just search for travel items), but we don't profile anything whatsoever.
OK, guys & gals, I got it - no jokes on HN (even specifically marked with a <fun> tag...) - you can stop downvoting now - I wish I could delete my own comments, but HN doesn't let me do that.
The comment thread on the article itself are well worth reading.
But that would be a manual step. The idea behind this would be to let the box build and test a succession of kernels, patch by patch, automatically, to find a regression.

I wouldn't want to manually test a hundred kernels, but I can easily spare a box for a week.
Average _full_ professor, maybe? What percentage of PhDs make it to a full professor? What's the average salary for an average post-doc?

Ultimately, research labs like Google, Microsoft Research, Boeing, Dow Chemical, or Pfizer are funded by consumers and taxpayers. Not sure what labs in your area are 'funded' by UCLA (most if not all of UCLA own labs, I'm sure, get government or private funding) -- if you can give examples, I would appreciate it.

Having seen my university's financial statements, I can tell you that net tuition accounts for slightly less than 50% of our operating budget. The rest comes from external funding sources -- public and private funds. My department is fully funded from external sources and we're responsible for finding them.
... and, to avoid similar architectural mistakes in the future.

History is useful. We're not at the point where we want CS students to memorize what happened at the Battle of Algol in 1968, but it's darned close.
Quite frankly, I personally fail to see the sense of this.

Interesting read though.
I like the class and for comprehensions sugar very much as well.
I'll add one more to the list- whatever happened to that ridiculous device that sits in your living room and listens to your every word, responding when it happens to hear something it recognizes? I think it was called Echo?

Basically everything you get with any modern smartphone, only larger, more expensive, and probably technologically inferior!
I honestly don't understand the outrage here. This is about standard library functionality, not new language features. As far as standard libraries go, C++'s is actually pretty small and could use some additions.
Sounds like a "senior professional" is taking LinkedIn a little too seriously...
I wouldn't mind living there. I've been dreaming about moving somewhere remote and just do freelance work. The only requirement is a good internet connection which sadly excludes a lot of cool places.
Interesting idea, but it's highly unlikely that people will get involved with a dating site when registration is a requirement for even seeing the site.

"Without fanning class war and just to state a fact, Ellen Pao was able to afford top-notch lawyers, which you'd need to go against KPCB given what they'll do to your career. Only "the 1%" can do what she did and keep their careers and finances (after legal bills) intact."

You are making a possibly incorrect assumption that this case wasn't handled on contingency. Pao's side could have potentially gotten over $100 million if she won punitive damages.
For example, 70% of inbox.google.com web app is written in Java and transpiled into JS. And front end is written in Closure. Inbox Android app uses the core as it is while iPhone app transpile the core via J2ObjC. Google Drive Spreadsheet, Calender are also built with this combination. I think Google values GWT not because it's good front end framework, but because of its power to share the code across different platforms.
This path is really appealing to me. Now, knowing that there is a demand for the people between the two worlds, I will spend some time looking for offers, and prepare a CV accordingly.

Moving to US seems a bit harder, but I wouldn't mind if I achieve this in the long term.
A friend wanted to become a lawyer in LA (he's not American). He travelled there once, and he changed his mind about that for some reason. That saved him some time from starting to study American law, I guess.
> It doesn't invalidate the issue or the grievance.

It most certainly does.

In fact, I would argue that the public's opinion of the validity of these grievances hinges on the outcome of these high-profile cases.

It's never a good idea to cry wolf.

edit: I'm not saying she was lying. Hell, I have no idea. What I am saying is that if people view this as a frivolous case or think she is lying, that most certainly does harm to the underlying cause.
> OJ was acquitted

A civil finding of no liability is, in principal, a stronger (though still not certain, obviously) indication because the usual civil standard of proof (preponderance of the evidence) is symmetric, as opposed to the asymmetric standard (beyond a reasonable doubt for conviction) favoring acquittal in criminal cases.
On point 1, how do they even expect a researcher to know that some other researcher has found the exact same bug if it's not disclosed yet? This seems like a fake rule whose only possible effect is to suppress disclosure.
That is much easier to play on the iPhone than on my MacBook with touchpad.
I just bought this tiny MIDI controller: http://www.cme-pro.com/xkey-specs/

On the features list: "Polyphonic aftertouch".

It's a little scary; I thought that was a super common feature and didn't think to check that the one I was ordering didn't support it. I'm glad it does, though.
./exploit ...? Seriously??? LOL
I was on a jury once. Many, many people can't follow simple jury instructions, figure out the difference between an argument and a statute (seriously), etc. And most of them had an education level beyond college. It was the most eye opening experience of my life.

You could probably roll your own, using IP geolocation on a push email server.

The hard part is setting up the notification in the first place. You might be able to wire up something to Google Maps that lets you put pins down that can be queried by your server.

Or something like that, anyway. Sounds like a neat idea :)
