I too am a huge fan of the Amber series. I don't think Zelazny's estate has managed that asset very well though. See the Bettencourt novels and the controversy relating to their publication as an example. Or how rarely one will find Zelazny's works on the shelf at most brick and mortar bookstores compared to his contemporaries.

I wish you well in your quest! I'd love to see this series get a second life.
More than poetic, it's very real. It's called PCD, programmed cell death, and it affects most life on earth. But not all life. It is terminal, and it is an affliction which will kill you. So, yes, we're all terminally ill. Make the most of your time. We are all dying.

Life has proved fatal to all but 6-7% of us humans so far. And there isn't any indication that the current remaining will escape it's touch.
if you're using android, i suggest you try bubbleupnp https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.... It doesn't seem to have the problems you describe, and it's also very happy to send stuff to a chromecast instead of a DLNA renderer. I could see how it's possible that your renderer is the cause of the problems, and that can be harder to replace since it's probably embedded in your TV (I've only used chromecast and samsung TVs).

I've actually had little to no trouble with DLNA overall, using among other things the ReadyDLNA server for a sparc readynas and rygel on ubuntu. i suppose it only takes one bad implementation among the components in your setup to ruin the whole experience, but i've been pleasantly surprised over the years how well it seems to work.

bubble doesn't have the best UI, but it's not bad, and there are other apps that are prettier (allcast comes to mind). in the past i would have totally agreed that most upnp controllers i had used had TERRIBLE usability, but most of those were embedded in A/V equipment (TVs, receivers), and what A/V equipment have you ever used with a good UI?

Ah, it does seem to follow:

M1: return a >>= f = f a
M2: m >>= return = m
M3: (m >>= f) >>= g = m >>= (\ x -> f x >>= g)

(fmap f . fmap g) m = (fmap f . fmap g) m

by defn of (.) = fmap f (fmap g m)
by defn of fmap = fmap f (m >>= return . g)
by defn of fmap = (m >>= return . g) >>= return . f
by M3 = m >>= (\ x -> (return . g) x >>= return . f)
by defn of (.) = m >>= (\ x -> return (g x) >>= return . f)
by M1 = m >>= (\ x -> (return . f) (g x))
by defn of (.) = m >>= (\ x -> return (f (g x)))
by defn of (.) = m >>= (\ x -> (return . (f . g)) x)
eta reduction = m >>= return . (f . g)
by defn of fmap = fmap (f . g) m

(fmap f . fmap g) m = fmap (f . g) m
Don't care about NDAs as much. At least not as much as about cut tape availability at the usual distributors. I'm fine as long as I can buy 100 chips at mouser instead of buying an obscure reel in shenzen (as might be the case for hdmi transceivers btw). They mentioned a couple chip manufacturers in the announcement, so I'm hoping they will follow through with that, or at the least, make modules available.

The same has been going on for digital radio recently. Only silabs have decent chips at 10€ per piece in single quantities, the rest is all large modules and obsolete chips that are all "not recommended for new designs".

Same for Bluetooth. CSR is quite hard to reach, chips are NDAed, and chip programmers and documentation is hard to get by unless you go the aliexpress route. Then suddenly the modules are easier to place on my PCB than the chip, amazingly cheap, and even the programmers are available as knockoffs for 50 dollars instead of 800.

It sometimes feels unprofessional to seemingly tack random Chinese Lego blocks onto each other, but apparently that's how the industry runs. I've even stopped mocking huge Javascript libraries recently, in sheer appreciation of this realisation ;-)
Yeah me too ;)
The $200M figure is a typo. The article's source lists 64500 people with >= 100M RMB ($16M) in 2013.

I want to get more into HW after decade of working on pure software stuff. I bought Raspberry Pi, Arduino and couple of modules and will try to create something interesting and maybe get it into production of some magnitude.

My other big project this year is to find new home for my tiny winery: I am looking for new land to build proper facilities and acquire more vineyards as well.
The probability density graph annoyed me! If the bug is as likely to be found in the first munute as it is during the second given it wasn't found during the first then it's actually most likely to be found early and would look like the third graph, such a thing doesn't require it being a start up bug, just a bug driven by randomness so it is a poisson process.

A flat density would suggest a limit to how long it would take, since the area cannot be infinite.
My aim for 2015 is to spend more time with my family. To do this will probably involve a change of job etc. But that is my main goal.
Do you recommend this book to understand remote working dynamics at Wordpress ? Learning from companies that succeeded in setting up the remote working practice is definitely the best way to understand if you can put the process in a bottle.
Anyway thanks for sharing this title.
>The idea of having tools to parse and rewrite my code to be as generic as possible came to me years ago.

I feel like awk could do this quite handily, as far as homogenizing spacing, cases, underscoring, etc.
I think they would have been able to arrest everyone inside the Capitol building, since everyone inside was breaking the law.
I’m not sure that’s true: https://mobile.twitter.com/justinjm1/status/1347174957613199...
Agree on all points! I have some nice pieces, some made with Processing and others with Neural Nets, but there’s more to them that lets them hold their own as art (i.e. it’s not “pretty” generative art for the sake of generative art, but art that’s good in the traditional sense made with a new technique).
I prefer OSMAnd for that. The maps don't expire after 30 days like they do within Google Maps.

For me "offline" doesn't mean "requires network connectivity and mandatory updates within the the next thirty days."
Jesus, that's jQuery levels of obesity.
In our case, Simple was at the end of its runway and desperately needed a buyer after our primary angel backed out. BBVA was there at literally the last second (as in, we may not have been able to make the next payroll). So yeah, it wasn't really about the founders wanting to cash out; they desperately wanted to keep the idea going.
I also have a Simple account. Over the last year I started using Chime more, and just had the Simple account because my happy US stimulus checks were getting deposited there.

I also use Mercury for my business stuff. So Chime + Mercury might be a good combo for you, depending on your needs.
Unless you are under arrest you do not need to give identification.

Two things:

1. killertypo is talking about the way /women/ are portrayed in comic books — not men. He may think the way men are portrayed is wrong as well, so bringing up Batman makes no sense.

2. The way men and women are portrayed is vastly different. Male superheroes are written (and drawn) as people you want to be, women superheroes are written (and drawn) as people you want to have sex with. This wouldn't be such a big deal if this wasn't the norm.

Check out the Hawkeye Initiative [1], Hawkeye is drawn the way female characters are drawn. Notice that you never see comic book heroes drawn that way unless they're women.

Tech the tech with the tech-tech.

I'm pretty sure this is one of the reasons ST is so popular with nerds. Star Trek is a nerd show that appeals to the nerdiest of nerds; me included.

I want them to tech the tech with the tech-tech, and to keep on doing so. The writer of that blog is just salty, and probably not a nerd but a creative type. He feels that the tech-tech-talk stifles his creativity. Good. This isn't a sculpture it's a techie nerd-gasm show; leave it alone.

I'm gonna go tech my tech with the tech-tech now.
I created V because Go didn't work nicely with C for my project.

So just that would be enough for me to use V.

Variable shadowing makes code more bug prone and confusing.

As for the size: V uses system's official API (libc), including networking. Go has their own libs that have to be statically linked in to the binary.

For a healthy young adult, chances of dying from Covid are in the same ballpark.
Oh, come on.

> Data from MPD shows that in June 2020, the camera in question snapped 82 violators. Then there were 2,850 tickets in July 2020 (compared to 231 tickets in July 2019). Then the camera started flashing like paparazzi in Cannes: From August through November, a total of 17,216 tickets were issued. That’s $1,721,600 from one camera at one intersection in just four months.

This is the SAME CAMERA, just recalibrated, and it issues 34x as many tickets one month to the next. In four months, this single camera has sucked almost $2 million from the residents. How many stop-sign violators do you think this tiny intersection has? And if you're caught by this clearly malfunctioning camera, you basically have no recourse in the legal system?

This is abusive, plain and simple. Whether or not it was intentionally done like this another question (probably it wasn't, probably it's just a miscalibration), but either way it doesn't make it right.

Remember: the purpose of a camera like this is to improve conditions for residents, but instead it's bleeding them for money with absolutely no proof of any improvement in safety.

EDIT: oh, and another thing:

> “I’ve got five tickets,” Gopalakrishna told me. “Before I found out about the first one, I’d gotten four more.”

If you don't know that you've gotten a ticket until much later, how exactly are you supposed to modify your behavior? How could you possibly avoid getting tickets 2-5 if you don't even know about getting the first one?
A recipe takes a minute to read, and then you can easily look up the steps as you need them. Following along a youtube video will be way more frustrating and require you to jump between parts of the video, replay parts you missed etc. I don't think anyone would prefer the youtube video unless they were complete beginners who don't understand cooking basics.

I was not talking about something like Web Start and the JRE. The JRE was a centrally-managed software that determined the runtime for all Java applications. I don't think it's a good idea for one party to determine the runtime for applications written by others.

It is better for your applications to manage their own runtime in a way that does not interfere with others. That is not what Web Start or OpenWebStart do; what they do is discouraged, even if you are used to it, because it makes global decisions over the user's environment that apply beyond the application itself.

> Ideally, I would have all of these apps share a common JVM so that they are not running multiple garbage collectors, but I realize this is a capability that most have simply discarded.

I'm not sure that one JVM doing more work would necessarily be better than multiple ones, but since you now control the runtime, you can do that if you like. Use a launcher that runs all of your applications JARs in one VM; since you control the applications, too, you could make sure that they are well isolated.
No, this is A/B testing. Why do you think it is A/B testing?
So, this is multivariate testing, not A/B testing, right?

>>>Note, LibreOffice is available in the native language of the users, Valencian, and has spell-check dictionaries for that language. Presumably, the Valencian government puts out most communication in Valencian.

"In Valencia they speak a form of Catalan (the locals call it 'Valenciano' but this is not officially recognised anywhere outside of Valencia).

Everyone in Valencia speaks Castillian Spanish, but many will speak to each other in Catalan in the street. This will be a bit of a hindrance to your learning experience."

"You will mainly hear Catalan in the streets of Valencia, not Castillian Spanish. Even road signs and advertisements are in Catalan. You will find newspapers, TV and radio in both languages."

I used to lead a small team in a previous life. I went back to development roles, but my career shifted away from product roles towards more infrastructural roles. This currently gives me what I consider to be a good balance of "leadership" (in the sense that I can make technical decisions with cross-org impact and I can help level up people, even across different teams) but still allows me to get hands-on with code and implementations.
we are saying the same things
I currently use Typescript at my day job, and before that I used Elm.

Based on my experience, no, it's definitely not the same boost. Elm felt more productive than Typescript, and Clojurescript felt more productive than Elm.

And yes, when compared to Javascript, Typescript is awesome and well worth the investment.
CloudFlare is not beyond your capabilities.

If you have a domain name (as opposed to just an IP address), you could have finished this project with CloudFlare in the time it took you to post to HN. You are almost certainly going to fall into the free tier.

Disclaimer: I used to work for the founders of CloudFlare.

Note: CloudFlare is not the only SaaS / PaaS in this CDN/WAF space, but it is the easiest to get started with (last I checked).
I feel like the general concept should be disallowed. They aren't blocking people (based on the public cases) who are imminently expected to kill someone or blow up a plane by sneaking something on it. There are a million people on the list, there are not a million attempts to blow up planes, even in 10 years there are probably only a few. Why not disallow questionable people from using the internet, cell phones, driving cars, walking in public? You can destroy someone's opportunity to be part of the world, work in most companies, etc see their family or children with these choices. Therefore, I think because these are not criminal claims and are not substantiated as imminent threats they are against their liberty.

Some literature review here:

https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/why-15-minimum-wage-is-pre...

https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/the-minimum-wage-pushback

One thing that might disappoint people is that increasing minimum wage isn't the best way to reduce poverty in the US, for the simple reason that most poor people aren't wage laborers. And not unemployed either - they're children and the elderly. Child allowances seem like they'll be very effective here, unless you don't trust their parents to use it well.
I was speculating about the role of Azithromycin though it appears another peer post mentioned something similar. The study was only 28 patients, open-label, non-randomized, 6 of which were asymptomatic. I think it's too early to say one way or the other, the N is really small on the study.

It could easily have been that some patients in the study developed bacterial pneumonia secondary to their COVID-19 and the azithromycin treated it. Much too early to say.

> Maybe you could clarify something else for me. Is there any information about whether these two drugs together could function as a prophylactic, or is this something patients have to be administered at the beginning of symptoms, or is this something that can be done late in the course of the disease?

Wish I knew, seems to be something we'll hear more about in the near term given the interest in studying it. From what I read it works best in early stages of disease and not as well later on. While not side-effect free, they're pretty highly targeted.

> frame rate, encoder quality. Especially low end phones do not have enough power to encode highly variable input (see previous bullet), resulting in unreadable images. An encoder setting for low frame rate (e.g. 1-2FPS) and high quality would be invaluable for such an use case.

Ways to go even better:

- Don't use an "<x>FPS" based model of continuous transmission - the paper isn't always updating by default

- In extremely low-bandwidth situations, never update while there's a hand in the frame; only update once the paper image settles again

- Get all fancy with feature detection and draw buttons on the corner of the paper; one of these could be "update" and the device would beep to acknowledge the frame had changed. This is actually practical as not everyone has bluetooth keyboards, audio-based commands would be distracting, and tapping onscreen buttons would nudge the device

- Perform frame border analysis and automatically crop and rotate the actual paper as it's moved around

Not sure what issues you had but we'd be happy to debug with you, have tons of Android users that like the experience but Android never surprises me to have some device specific issue :) beerby@levlr.com

Yeah, you can't pet it as much as you would with a dog. Instead, when you first come home, you put your hand out, just a bit above its nose, so the dog/wolf can touch your hand with its nose. It's this very peaceful and utterly simple ritual whereby the dog/wolf acknowledges that you're in charge.

When my dad and I started doing this, the dog/wolf calmed down incredibly. Pretty sure he had thought that he was in charge of our pack, but the responsibility was stressing him out because had no idea how he was supposed to organize our hunting, and couldn't figure out where we went during the day, either.

You also can't let it beg, because it doesn't really understand begging as begging. You have to eat first, then give the dog/wolf their food, the same way that I think you do with a Rottweiller.
Strange that this isn't on the frontpage, anyhow, for people who can't get it working for Android, try the following APK: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/whatsapp-inc/whatsapp/whatsapp-...

I won't buy detergent more frequently, but because it's easier, I'm more likely to be in a situation where I actually have it where I need it. If I could buy either at the moment I realize I'm about to run out, I would. Instead, I have to remember when I'm out at the grocery store, and I often forget, and then end up having to make a special trip the next day just to pick up that one thing.

I think going with a simple icon is far better. Consider the design of symbols such as corrosive or the street is icy, or s-curve coming up ahead. They do not look like real-world images but they are so wonderfully intuitive. We do not need to stare at the detail to understand what it is.

Likewise, the new icons are brilliant. The reminders app has basically a list. Music is a musical note, etc. The only one that really sucks is "photos". It looks more like a colour wheel.
Scaling ML in production doesn't take much ML skills though.

A problem is that the current mode of input for neural networks (one floating point value per input node) makes neural networks problematic for tackling problems with variable input size (read: most problems). My current research looks into how we can maybe fix that in certain cases, but in general it's a big limitation. Recurrent networks fix this to a certain extent, but they have not had the revolution that CNN's have enjoyed just yet. We can also do things like represent things in binary, but this adds complexity, and often greatly inhibits learning.

Authorities, moderation, and the mistrust of both are nothing new. The modernity crisis is that we can't trust our instincts any more about what's a centralized authority, what's an individual, what's a moderated environment, and what's a public square. There were always battle lines to contemplate, but now the front line is everywhere.
