As one of the long-suffering Comet.ml customers, I wish they'd spend more time working on their site's performance and less on writing blog posts. It takes multiple seconds for graphs to render, and leaving any part of Comet.ml UI open in the browser leads to spinning fans and quick battery drain when working from a laptop. The logging component will sometimes hang without a warning and hang your training session as well. Bizarrely, there's no way to show min/max metric values for ongoing and completed runs (AKA the only thing a researcher actually cares about): you have to log them separately in order to display them.

This is a weird field: these are not difficult problems to solve, yet as far as I can tell, all of the popular choices available so far each suck in their own unique way and there's no option that I know of that actually offers convenience and high performance. FOSS options are barely existent, as well, and they also suck.

For the things where Comet.ml would be too onerous to deal with, I still use pen and paper.
The US has a decades long history of using it's vast military to crush anyone, even people living in literal caves with all the brutality of black sites, torture, murdering of entire villages of civilians, etc.

US don't have the moral superiority to get anyone against China and that's sad and harsh but it's true. No one reading this thinks the US is any better and this is the US fault. When they starve entire countries to death over a 50 year old embassy attack, then who in the world will eagerly listen to them about which countries are good and which are bad?
That's really awesome. I am next door and providers here boas of having lowest broadband fares in the region.

This reads as just what is is: some guy on the internet thinking he's got it all figured out.

There's no way to decide the relative weight of uselessness and perceived immorality of chemical weapons. Some people clearly do consider them horrible, and it would be quite a surprise if none of those people were in any position of power, from armed forces to civilian government to parliamentarians to voters.

The argument otherwise rests on the assumption of perfect efficiency in military procurement and decision-making. Does anyone believe the military never uses "useless" technology?
They came up with a rationalisation for building that marginal nuclear bomb to allow the 254th complete destruction of earth. I'm sure they could convince themselves of the necessity of chemical weapons if motivated.
The UK proposal is a surprisingly effective way to handle this. By paying paying workers a percentage of their wage directly, you are protecting both the workers, and the companies that can now cut their costs by moving a large portion of their workforce to “unpaid” leave guilt free. This method is essentially designed to minimize damage and allow for a fast rebound once the restrictions are removed.
Sounds cool. If you haven't already, you might want to check out the Fractal Bits iOS app. It doesn't let you manually adjust parameters, only randomly generate sounds, but it makes some nice ones. It sounds probably FM-based to me.
I'm working on https://goodcompanies.io, a site to share companies that are letting their people work from home during the coronavirus pandemic

I compiled the list of companies originally from the answers to DHH's tweets and now people can add their own companies too
> if people on the populist left and people on the populist right work together.

Yes.
So whose fault is that - the users or Apple?
How are you finding it so far?

I set out to build my own contenteditable based editor and after a couple weeks of banging my head on it, I do appreciate Prosemirror's very rigorous approach. I suspect it might be the best choice for me as well.
It is probably more along the lines of paying directly the contractors to build out the infra/supporting-infra for these.

NSA requires gear in a rack, NSA pays some defense contractor-integrator to show-up and install the gear. Pays for whatever telco to install a new demarc etc.

The company just needs to point to the locations and provide badge access to spaces etc.
> I'm actually flabbergasted that MS/Nokia made a non-windows-phone device

Why ?

Microsoft has made it crystal clear that they want to be an internet services company. Which means that whatever OS they use isn't that relevant if it means more users of their services.
It's really cool to see that Cray J90 with the SparcStation 5 control workstation and software.

I do a fair bit of retro computing, and assembling a fully operation platform like that can take years of sleuthing.

Often disk drives are destroyed, which is somewhat understandable. But the media kits are often binned before e-waste companies come to pick up the hardware. So you're left with really interesting hardware and a hunt to make it usable.

And the gray zone where people that do have it don't necessarily want to share the bits because it's still copyrighted including the companies or current rights holders that otherwise don't care.

Assuming you have base OS, it's then very hard to find COTS applications that showcase the platform. SGI IRIX is one exception because there's a somewhat large hobbyist following.
Does any one know when this is coming out?
Is this for Mozilla "Save the internet" challenge? :D
> That starts with shoes and any kind of clothing.

Unless you are a designated critical worker who has to go out, you should be staying at home anyway and if you are doing that, why would clothes shopping be essential?
Reminds me of this essay: https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/01/24/conflict-vs-mistake/
What if it was not made by a government. But a few exchange program students who were happy to show off? Made in a 'wouldnt it be funny if we...' moment. And then the 65 year old male student supervisor caught it on the flight home?
What I need to know about a language: Does it do static types? Does it depend on GC? Can I pass functions to functions? Can I build an aggregate by listing the members, and pass it around? Can I vary the implementation of a function according to the types passed, as determined at compile time?

If your description just lists (howsoever appealing) platitudes, I don't get the answers I need.
> There are no huge libraries full of C code like pandas or scipy.

Isn't Julia's LinearAlgebra a wrapper around BLAS/LAPACK implementations (OpenBLAS/MKL etc.)?
Ukuleles have a bad reputation because many of them are collecting dust in someone's studio apartment. It's the quintessential "I want to learn an instrument but not really" purchase.
My SO bought noise-cancelling in-ear headphones. She turns them on without music sometimes, just for the (relative) silence. Easier than changing jobs and she seems happy with it?

She enjoys the team vibe but also needs to block out people around her fairly often. The 'phones allow a lot more freedom to sit anywhere and still be able to work.
It's a matter of degree. If you think we need more Damore wars, HN is not the site you're looking for.

No, I wouldn't say the current submission's topic has been done to death at all, though I grant you that it touches on topics that have. But it's the other parts that led us to try turning off flags on the story. I would not call the experiment successful.

Part of the art of substantive discussion, which is always in peril on the internet, is (1) to stay in the places that aren't already scorched earth and (2) not scorch them. There is constant temptation to do otherwise, and we all need the discipline to resist it. Flamewar topics are black holes that suck in everything that comes their way, so resistance isn't easy, but it's needed.
If Twitter allegedt failing didn't bring the stock price down before, why would it now?

Trump is mainstream. MSM covers him, as do Reddit and Facebook posters.
Yes, Technopaganism was Mark Pesce's and Owen Rowley's "thing". ;) See my previous comment about his talk about elder gods, ya ya ya, etc. Those were some extremely weird years indeed.

I never ran across this delightful Wired article about all that stuff until today:

https://www.wired.com/1995/07/technopagans/

>Wired Magazine: Jul 1, 1995 12:00 PM: Technopagans, by Erik Davis

>May the astral plane be reborn in cyberspace

>"Without the sacred there is no differentiation in space. If we are about to enter cyberspace, the first thing we have to do is plant the divine in it."

>-Mark Pesce

>Mark Pesce is in all ways Wired. Intensely animated and severely caffeinated, with a shaved scalp and thick black glasses, he looks every bit the hip Bay Area technonerd. Having worked in communications for more than a decade, Pesce read William Gibson's breathtaking description of cyberspace as a call to arms, and he's spent the last handful of years bringing Neuromancer's consensual hallucination to life - concocting network technologies, inventing virtual reality gadgets, tweaking the World Wide Web. Long driven to hypermedia environments, the MIT dropout has now designed a way to "perceptualize the Internet" by transforming the Web into a three-dimensional realm navigable by our budding virtual bodies.

>Pesce is also a technopagan, a participant in a small but vital subculture of digital savants who keep one foot in the emerging technosphere and one foot in the wild and woolly world of Paganism. Several decades old, Paganism is an anarchic, earthy, celebratory spiritual movement that attempts to reboot the magic, myths, and gods of Europe's pre-Christian people. Pagans come in many flavors - goddess-worshippers, ceremonial magicians, witches, Radical Fairies. Though hard figures are difficult to find, estimates generally peg their numbers in the US at 100,000 to 300,000. They are almost exclusively white folks drawn from bohemian and middle-class enclaves.

> No, I am not denying the climate changes, but it has always changed.

So you are denying human created climate change, which is basically what everyone is referring to when they say "climate change". Quibbling over semantics doesn't change the fact that you are, indeed, "denying climate change".
As a programmer who married a painter this resonated with me.

Except for the part about variables being invented in the 15th century which I don’t think is right.
I think that's a big philosophical difference I have with the rust culture - static analysis is a tool, not a religion. Useful, but nowhere near enough by itself to make reliable software.
Text files are very hard to efficiently parse in parallel because there are so many variable-length and conditionally present fields. That necessarily leads to branches in your code which GPUs are not designed for.
Tell me where in the Bible or Quran it tells you to “embrace the full range of experiences?” Let’s throw anything Confucius wrote for good measure.
This is weird for me to read because years ago I met someone like this, and it always puzzled me. He just came up to me downtown one night and started chatting. He struck me as a little out there, kind of hippy-dippy. Seemed in good spirits. One of my neighbors knew him from a party. We all hung out with a few other people I didn't know. (At which time a middle-aged preacher uppercut a 6'5' drunk fireman so hard his feet left the ground and he landed on his head.) He crashed at my apartment. We hung out again the next day, and then he just disappeared.

I didn't think much of it. I'd 'come up' with a bunch of neurotypical 'transients' with sad family lives who partied and crashed where they could.

A couple of years later I thought maybe I'd look him up. I found a few news articles stating he (an adult) was "missing", autistic, and "ran away" from his "caregiver." Stated that he "functioned at a 12-year-old level." The autism part maybe explained some eccentricity, but I could not square that last part with the person I'd met. He seemed to know what he was doing (?) Based on the articles, he'd run away at least twice. No mention of parents, only a "caregiver."

It was just weird. He was very, very chill, and very chatty. He didn't seem in distress. I suppose one could recast my first impression of rambling free-spiritedness as "functioning at the level of a 12-year-old"...? Just odd. I never did find a way to contact him.
It means you're "green", in the sense of young or inexperienced - i.e. a relatively new account.
The ball bearings would suck for optical tracking but, most stuff is tracked by radar so the black paint really wouldn't do much more than add to the debris field as radiation would eventually cause it to flake off the metal and solar bleaching would turn it back to white.
I recently interviewed at Facebook with ~10yrs experience. I didn't get an offer. Their process was really quite rudimentary compared to the other companies I interviewed at, namely Google who I see as their most direct competitor for engineering talent.

* Every single coding problem was about iterating over a string or an array and doing something with it. Seemed like there was no coordination at all on what's being asked from one interviewer to the next. For a senior infra engineer interview I'd expect them to touch on concurrency, or service architecture, or recursion, or debugging, or... anything besides strings and arrays (which I'm good at!).

* The system design question they asked me was about how to design a frontend feature for live-updating comment chains. I understand the ideal that the questions are so high-level that it's an even playing field regardless of background, but the reality is that every problem is going to be close to _someone's_ domain and far from someone else's. I wish they had chose something at least related to infrastructure services, because I don't even know the 101 on how social media frontends work.

* The interviews didn't include any time for me to ask meaningful questions of the interviewers. I was assigned to engineers at random, rather than based on where I'd likely be working.

* None of the interviewers conveyed any enthusiasm about giving the interview. I could tell that speaking to me was a chore distracting them from what they wanted to be doing.

Overall the process felt haphazard and low-effort, like I was Candidate #24601 in the machine for the week. Stark contrast to Google, where the interviews left me _more_ excited about working there, despite Google being more than twice Facebook's size. Fortunately I didn't get the job so I didn't even have to ponder any ethics questions :^)
All goes back to Reagan's repeal of the Fairness Doctrine which gave rise to biased political based news coverage a la Fox News. Since then, political polarization has increased each year until we got to the point we're at where both sides see the other as dangerous and lacking legitimacy. It's a lose-lose downward spiral.
You wanna make an omelette, you gotta break some eggs.
This just made me wonder about the engineering culture at the FBI. Do they have standups and roadmaps? What's their relationship with the rest of the FBI? Do they search stackoverflow like the rest of us? Are they in on all the latest programmer memes? Maybe it's just the secrecy but there's something fascinating about all of this.
I'm not sure that's correct. See this AP article [1] talking about the national guard troops that were approved and are already in the capitol now.

> Because D.C. does not have a governor, the designated commander of the city’s National Guard is Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy. Any D.C. requests for Guard deployments have to be approved by him.

In any event, where are the Capitol Police? How were they not prepared for this?
Edited because I responded before reading your "fixes" correctly.
Groovy has done dynamic dispatch this way for a decade now.
I think both! There are parts of mathematics that just look like truths that have been waiting the whole time to be discovered. On the other hand, people invent problem solving techniques which definitely feel more like inventions than discoveries. Then in the middle, there are made-up mathematical structures introduced to bridge between two “clearly discovered” canonical objects, but this made-up structure certainly has the invented flavour.

So I think it is a continuum, and really fantastic mathematics will feature ideas from all the way along the spectrum: “discoveries” for the beauty, “inventions” for the problem solving, and the “in between” for the subtlety and art.

Right now, it's evening in Europe, meaning that those who have been out collecting data during the day have now come home, had a shower (or brushed the snow off, in my case), relaxed a bit, downloaded their GPX tracks to their computers, and started editing. In the US, those doing boots-on-the-ground mapping are still out.
Is your course of action strengthening the team?

If not, choose a different one.

If it does, carry on.

However, I advise you check in with your boss. It's healthy. Much healthier than being assigned to a module you don't prefer. The assignment will pass. The uncertainty won't until you talk.

Good luck.
I heard some people prefer the decentralized approach but that it might lead to consensus problems with their significant other.
At this point, Facebook really is in a jam because their value to Apple and Google was getting users to buy a smartphone. A lot of people's personal use case for their first smartphone was using Facebook, Messenger and Instagram. Now, everyone has a smartphone... and will continue using them because there are other ways to do what you do with Facebook, Messenger and Instagram.
This assumes that the bug creator can be bothered to review the bug and type every n weeks "still happens", with n unknown and variable in general. This makes sense for an organization with clear processes where the value of n is well-known to all stakeholders, but comes off as unwelcoming and offputting for users who want to contribute in their free time to improve their favorite applications.
It's true they use the same chips, but board layout and connectors become important as you get to higher frequencies. Wifi antennas can be anything from PCB stripline to external whips.
Mine is an '82, and currently disassembled on the bench awaiting the arrival of my Digi-Key order so I can replace the old Rifa smoke generators before they pop, but this was all in prelude to trying my hand at Turbo Pascal on the thing. Probably not a game, but definitely not a word processor or terminal program.

Might I ask what terminal program you're using? I PIP'd enough code over the serial port to assemble a basic Xmodem client, but it's unreliable in use.
At what point do hundreds of millions of dollars in operating losses begin to constitute "dumping," where a product (service in this case) is priced below its cost in order to accumulate market share and harm competitors?

Other comments mention that delivery "worked fine" before, which implies DoorDash can't argue that they were perfectly innovative against a "dumping" accusation.
You joke, but my Grado headphones and Swanson Speed Square were only not in the video because the shipment didn't arrive at the shoot in time.
> upon the last few decades of programming language research

And yet it doesn't matter, because PL research is so broken, that it fails to provide us with even basic understanding on how people write code.
What a feckless comparison. Don't mistake something taking more time with something being more complex.
"slight negative" is a net loss of what looks like 15k or over 1/3 of the cash value of their current benefits.
It is the CCP's fault of not allowing freedom of the press that we have to rely on hearsay.
Neat! If anyone wants to check out a very, very basic version of a similar idea, I built https://fretboard.cool a couple of years ago.
> if the tax code were a few dozen pages for the common case instead of a few hundred

Isn't this the fantasy of clean sheet software? 'We'll get rid of all this cruft and make it clean and simple.' But it turns out that the cruft is needed to deal with reality, which is messy rather than the abstract clean-room requirements of our imaginations.

I can't see how the tax code can be short, having to deal with such a wide range of situations. Has anyone every successfully used a tax code like the short, simple ones that people fantasize about?
They picked the ones used by the IPCC. Their job was to show that the models were wrong. They showed the opposite.

The guys who run the Breakthrough Institute are still big time climate deniers.
Well said. Also "that metadata doesn't leave the ivory tower" is wonderfully concise.
TAL downloads are only available for a week. This episode has already been pulled (but will be available for streaming). They have a partnership with Audible so downloads are only available on Audible.com after the first week.
Kickoff and punt return fumbles can be the result of other factors - players traveling at high speed over a long distance hitting a returner looking skyward is a unique football situation that only occurs on returns.

Interceptions and recoveries would be by defensive players, who would spend much less time focusing on ball handling since they rarely carry the ball.

Indian and I can confirm isn't the norm.
I think it's quite reasonable to suggest power users to use such a specific version. Especially as the signing is presumably to prevent non-power users from getting malicious ones, which is a real problem. As you admit, the Developer edition is very stable and from the name targeted at exactly the kind of people that want to run their custom extensions. It's not like Minefield nightlies back in the day!
Very true. This is why I appreciate C++’s lack of a universal package manager.
Can aircraft not have load sensors installed in the undercarriage? That would love the need for guessing the weight.
I doubt Facebook gives a shit about the GDPR
It's not just weight, but also distribution. I've been on small regional aircraft (think 16 to 32 seats) where the flight crew has asked passengers to change seats in order to get a better balance of weight across the aircraft.
I almost wrote yet another in a long series of posts bringing the evidence I encountered on the flip side to this discussion. I thought, once again, that doing so might have enabled a few more people to release that it's just too darned hard to disentangle cultural effects from innate attributes, talent and motivation, confidence and skill. I thought that I could detach the certainty from the minds of those who wished to propound stereotypic ordinals as if they were biological, scientific fact, and perhaps get parents to question what sort of encouragement -- in any sense -- their children get when their first experience upon birth is a pronouncement of their gender.

And then I realized that I tried that before, and it went nowhere. Not gonna fan these flames.
If you don't undo it immediately and do other stuff between e.g. writing in a text box you have to undo all that typing before restoring your tab.

Adding window management features to the undo sounds plain stupid.
They want 27 percent? Really?
Can I be honest and not be thought less of for it?

I actually like Chrome's "load then hide" version of AdBlock because the ad impression counts. It doesn't do much for PPC ads, but for PPI, the website owner has "made an impression" with the ad unit.

Of course, it's robbing the advertiser at the same time....
