You know, the easiest way for things to go bad is by giving gifts to people who don't appreciate their new gifts because they are under the mistaken belief that they are the rightful owner.
In the state of Victoria, nearly seven million people were locked down hard for 112 days last year, going from a peak of 6768 active cases to zero. That ain’t suppression.
I've seen a few comments along the lines of "the best workers will go if they see union people treated like that".

I find that hard to believe, but fortunately there's a way to test that! Just start your own companies and make them union-friendly from the start. All those union-friendly star performers will flock to your company and help it succeed! Win Win! Easy!
Gitea is riddled with bugs and the maintainers seem to disagree they exist, which is a shame.

We too just switched to bare repos and haven't really missed much from the SCM frontends.
You're probably right on both counts.

I think community transmission is already seen as a failure whether the government likes it or not, so they might as well call it elimination.
Did you try Piwik, a free open source self-hostable analytics suite?
N, that is my whole point. People are very much misinformed. Horribly misinformed. Ill try and dig up the link(s) but snowden had a history of grandstanding that dates back to highschool. He was not a noble whistleblower, he wanted attention.

edit: typo
This statement sounds very weird to someone who has written a lot of JavaScript. I'm skeptical that you could write JavaScript of any significant size without ever using "this". Do you also not use the "new" operator? Do you never modify a function's prototype?
I think Stallman needs to read this book - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159056233X

Activism doesn't need to be mysterious, there's lots of psychological research that you can look to when you ask "how can I convince people to {go vegan, support software freedom, support gay rights}?"
Posted it earlier but now that I see you're in this thread, just wanted to say that I appreciated the tone of your post. Thanks.
He's subscribing to Omnistar HP service. Basically, it's a float RTK solution relative to a synthetic base station. They boast 10 cm error 95% of the time. It's expensive (IMHO) and breaks whenever sun flares up.

True RTK + IMU positioning systems will get you 1-2 cm 95% of the time (see Applanix, Novatel).
Totally agree that complexity is evil. Who hasn't seen code bloated beyond all recognition to the point where it has to be rewritte? Or fantastically complex engines where it was impossible to debug all the edge cases? The list goes on and on...

That said I wouldn't want to write Python like it's C. Every tool has it's best practices. It's funny he made that statement, Python is probably the simplest OO language there is.

Write Ahead Logging.

Async replication doesn't produce inconsistency it produces uncommitted transactions. Every database produces them when it goes down whether it replicates or not.

When the master comes up all it has to do is reverse the transactions that the slave didn't receive. Voila, consistent database.
Read the article, it's good. The problem is that the series was designed to look good and "work" in 4:3 ratio. This means that many of the decisions on how to direct a scene were made with the aspect ratio in mind. An example from the article is the use of mid-sized shots where wide shots would have made the actors too small on screen, and close-ups would have been too cramped.

Moving the material to 16:9 ratio creates situations where the original shot composition or camera movement doesn't make sense anymore. Additionally the new aspect ratio can reveal something that was never meant to be on screen in the first place. The problem is that you need to go through each scene and assess if the cinematography and editing still makes sense from the story's point of view.
Somewhat related to this idea that improved economy is a solution to violence - the trade economy is what has stopped most wars as well.
With some Google Maps thrown in there. You can drag the screen around.. Try it.
Yes, show is over, the falcon is behind the horizon.
That was so awesome. My 8yr old was jumping up and down, cheering. It was just a beautiful launch.
It also uses about twice as much memory as Mail.app.

Anyway the interface is so much better that I'm willing to make the tradeoff!
> Can anyone give me a good argument why domains shouldn't go into an administration period when it is discovered that they are serving up copyright material?

How do you know that said site is serving up copyright material in violation of the relevant law?

Yes, I'm serious. Be complete and precise. In particular, deal with fair use, jurisdiction, and ownership. (Remember, there's no central registrar.)

Copyright lawsuits take days to deal with these issues, so if you've got something faster ....
PHP was a one person project until 1998, the article talks about Viaweb from 95-97.
If you're looking for a place where you can grab half a dozen bagels on Saturday morning, you're out of luck. Your best bet is to try out some of the smaller cafe's near where you live and hope they toast bagels okay[1].

There's "The Bagel Bakery" up in SOMA that has almost decent bagels. But its way too out of the way to get a few bagels for the weekend.

1. For me, this was Nervous Dog Coffee down in Bernal Heights (30th-ish and Mission). Take a look on yelp for cafe's. Ignore the ratings, since they'll be based on the coffee they serve, not bagels.
Kaleidoscope is very pretty (as is its website), but the lack of ability to do any editing/merging once you view the diff is jarring. I wish they'd spend their time on that.
Spring prefers setters and getters (the constructor support is not as good), and this makes it harder to communicate what is optional configuration with defaults and what is essential.
Here's a Ruby version of the solution that was posted to your blog: http://pastie.org/1390793
A couple 100KLOC of Python, excluding 3rd party libraries? Other than Google or maybe NASA, I can't think of many places with so large python codebases.
> You can't have both open borders and guaranteed income.

Sure you can have liberalized immigration and basic income: basic income isn't means/behaviorally-tested, but it still has a target population -- which can well be citizens. If anything, a relatively liberalized immigration policy with unconditional basic income for citizens but not noncitizens minimizes the economic incentive for immigrants without their own strong support (whether from their own assets or family support) to come to the country.
I consider my 7" Nexus tablet to be more comfortable to read than a trade paperback already. I fiddled with the Kindle app settings quite a bit (light text on dark background, set the font somewhat large because, what, I'm going to run out of paper?), but I'd rather read novels that way now than the weird ways you have to hold a trade paperback.

Well-bound hardcovers are a bit of a harder call. But still, I'd contend a lot of people's "comfort" with such books is still just familiarity. Hardcovers can still poke you, when brand new can still be stiff and pages can tend to flip themselves back and are really fairly particular about how they are held... I mean, I don't want to make it sound like reading a book is some sort of physical ordeal, my point is merely that, well, both ebooks on easily-available hardware and real books are really quite trivial now and to the extent that there is a difference, it isn't much.

Why, the Kindle app even occasionally accurately captures the experience of dropping the book on the floor and losing your place when you accidentally pull up the bottom bar and then accidentally swipe 50% forward into the book! And it replicates the experience of finding your place again by finding where the pages start sticking together because they've never been opened (there's a little marker left in the book's scrollbar when you jump somewhere). Really the verisimilitude has gotten out of hand in ebook apps if you ask me.
All of which is why I walked away from the whole charade that is Facebook. Frankly, fuck that noise. Facebook added nothing to my life. I have the same number of friends as I had when I was Facebook but now I know who they are.
I'd wager most of the books your Ukrainian friends alludes to are the astoningly easy to find pirated epubs. There's zero to none friction if you know how to look for them and don't mind reading in English.

I found odd that the author didn't mention piracy.
While I agree with you in general, at least in CS and EE it seems to be a good time for PhDs. At least for those considering industry.

The amount of opportunities seems to be only growing and companies are fighting for them in some areas.
But these jobs just didn't exist(unless you count full time maids for example), so it doesn't make sense to talk about job security or whether they were contractors or not.
Uncle Bob imho has a pretty good strategy for this problem: https://twitter.com/unclebobmartin/status/308983161143058432
This is my understanding as well, but as you note its very convoluted.

Which is why I'm sure the HGST label on the graphs is an honest mistake. The hard drive world was severely shaken up as Hitachi got bought out by WD, and then FTC / EU split that company up on monopoly grounds.

There's no need to use a conspiracy theory. Nonetheless, it seems like the super-reliable "Hitachi 7k3000" of old is in fact a Toshiba drive today.
Gödel's incompleteness theorem doesn't fill me with the same confidence as you that "a true theorem should have a useful explanation".

In fact, looking at chess engines tells us that sometimes (though not always) brute-force calculation of many possibilities gives us better moves. In the same way some true statements might just be an exhaustive calculation.

Perhaps the four color theorem is the most famous example of a proof that has lacked (still lacks) a lot of useful lemmas in relation to its length: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_color_theorem
Crystal: compilation speed is just too slow, sadly.
Nim and Zig: I'd definitely just go with Zig. It's an extremely simple language, has no macros (but something much better than macros), is explicit, and in the long run it's just going to be worth it much more than Nim.
I didn’t say that I did know. It’s a general point, one that I can make by pointing to any particular example of reckless driving (of which there are many, including ones I have been personally subjected to.)
That's a general purpose microcomputer, not application specific!
As President, no matter what you do, somebody benefits. Also, somebody will be willing to pay you six figures for speaking fees. Sometimes those parties are the same.

I guess I just subscribe to Hanlon's Razor on this one. I think he should have advocates for single payer, but I think it was a strategic error, and not a selfish manipulation of the system.

Obama cares about his legacy as much as anyone else would in that situation.
I agree, just being a bit tongue in cheek there.
I think this definition of OTC is a bit confused. OTC Markets is a company that runs platforms for trading the stocks that only trade OTC (ie not on public exchanges). It is also true that there are ways to trade other securities OTC (and dark pools are one) but I think the parent commenter was talking about activity in the stocks that only trade OTC. The nomenclature is pretty stupid though.
In statistics, there's a joint distribution of x and f(x) to be learned. In this piece, there's a distribution over trained models that naturally depends on the initialized parameters.
It's interesting when data is considered non-random, and the probabilistic variation arises from weight initialization.

While this serves to characterize the training process, the authors see the goal of the training procedure to converge to a target function f(x), with known values for x. This is of course not the substantive goal of the DL/ML researcher or practitioner (where the target function is unknown, and the goal is to learn the joint distribution and hopefully not fit the latent f(x) function exactly).

On the one hand, uncovering how a NN would behave with different lengths and widths for a fixed set of data seems an important step, and although I haven't read far enough to see any interesting results yet, I am sure the authors have much in store.

On the other hand, I feel like most questions of practical relevance - like generalization, model choice given data, causality, statistical properties of the entire design process and so on - all require us to think about the data generating process, rather than only the weight initialization process.
This is a huge part of it:

"finding out if people will start bullshitting or admitting the limits of their knowledge is a massive advantage to someone you might need to depend on"

One of the best hires I ever made was a former K-12 teacher who had decided to change careers and become a software developer. She went to a bootcamp and then I hired just as she graduated from that bootcamp. When I interviewed her, I very much appreciated how clear she was about what she knew and what she did not know. She felt no need to bluff. And that foreshadowed what our communication was like once I hired her: very straightforward, with no lies or bluffing or indirections or deflections.
They are supposed to not discount verifiable information just because it goes against dogma. In particular, they should be careful not to suggest to patients that certain damage to the body is always permanent and thus there is nothing they can do to promote their own healing.

In any case I should have made clear that I was referring mostly to researchers, not your run of the mill practicing doctor.
I don’t hear about his work often anymore, but I always appreciated his insights and how humble he was. Definitely seemed like the kind of person I’d like to work with and learn from. Though I suppose I did indirectly - I dug through his libraries for years out of curiosity and necessity.
Got offers from almost every FAANG last year. Decided to join FB, and it was not about money (in fact it depends on your negotiation skills). The reason I joined was the culture and people who work there as well as growth opportunities. One might say PSC are stressful but that depends on personality. I don't know why I should not have clear conscience. Should kitchen knife company be also upset about people are being killed by it?
There are other factors though that can't be discounted. It's indisputable that he's older now. It's quite natural that many people get "worse" when they get older, a phenomenon that has always existed. Also, people raising children at home have different priorities and interests than "empty nesters" whose children have grown and left home. It's unsurprising that your father's behavior around you would be very different now as an adult than when you were young.

How exactly did he get into listening to that stuff? Were there no other choices? Not music? Not NPR?
why is it trouble? why can't they improve it even if its trouble?
wow that's bad I thought it was all gone but looks like a couple luddites. i just found this source [1] sounds like LA lacks it statewide yikes. sounds like Indiana's law says not until 2029... sarcastically, you know, because it takes that long (more likely they have no funding and refuse to raise taxes/take fed money).

Can you please link the talk?
It's relevant information if you're converting to mass, which was probably the intention. Google will return the correct result for "mass 1 cup flour", by comparison.
I think we can all agree that both of those things are bad.
By how fun they are.

As people.

I'm convinced the only real-world metric that matters is "how much other people want to work with you". Being an easygoing, fun person facilitates that dramatically.
Just expand the example: pretend it was "that is not the way mysql works blah blah explanation". I agree that I don't want to read this if it has 2 points but I do if it has 100.
Nah, I like not seeing the comment scores.

But today I did think of a different improvement I'd like to see, which for lack of better place to put it, will say here:

When I click on "reply" to a comment, it takes you to a page with just that comment and a text box. I'd like to see that comment's parents all the way to the OP, to give me some more context as I frame my reply.

I think it would improve discussion as you'll see the context in which the person you're replying to replied, and might interpret their words a little differently.
There's an interesting article by William Gates in that issue:

Put on hold as too broad by rene, davidism, vaultah, Sam, iCodez 2 hours ago

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers
would be too long for this format. Please add details to
narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be
answered in a few paragraphs.

If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the
help center, please edit the question or leave a comment.

Meta: It's interesting that 5 users thought that it would benefit the SO community to put this question on hold, while 100+ thought it was an interesting question. In one way, SO does keep the noise down pretty well, but this doesn't feel to me like noise. Does avoiding questions like these actually make SO a better place? Is there a reworded version of this question that would actually elicit better responses? Or is this just the joy of playing the enforcer?
I completely agree with your last statement and I would like to add that i think any question that can be answered by a 'single' google search provides absolutely no valuable information to the interview process.
Linking to tvtropes is evil.
Note that he says "I wasn't particularly good at history or physics" (emphasis added), not "I was not any good at physics." As other comments point out, there is enough to physics besides math that someone (who was good at math) could easily do well in physics without being considered exceptional.
That's an interesting bit of history, but it misses the point. Those border searches might have had other protections in place, but they didn't require warrants. And the 4th amendment doesn't say that otherwise illegal warrant less searches are okay because you have oversight. Thus, Congress didn't think border searches fell within the warrant requirement of the 4th amendment.
Maybe we could convince people that they are 'good drivers.'
Each pod weighs 7,700 lb and is traveling at 760 mph. Are you sure a few-centimeter speedbump isn't a big deal? I don't know how to calculate whether or not it would be, but I'm interested in knowing why you feel it won't cause problems.

Remember, the pod comes into direct contact with the wall while banking, so it's going to take the full force of any few-centimeter bump.
While I can't say that I'm happy to hear this, it does make sense.
In the famous Black Wednesday announcement after the pound left the ERM you can see David Cameron behind Norman Lamont.
i think this input method is pretty nice... lacks polish though. A todo of missing featyres would be appreciated.. i can see a few things right off the bat: no caps lock and need to change the char display when caps is on. I hope i can make time to contribute.. this is a novel method that deserves further development.
While I value the positive press, assigning the words "Silicon Valley" to Toronto is quite a misnomer. As a lifelong resident of Toronto / member of the tech business community, I've watched many of our best business/tech minds get sucked south of the border - leaving local businesses with a real lack of high quality senior tech talent. I can't blame them - lots more opportunity down there, and businesses in the US on the whole more welcoming to new entrants than up here in government-sanctioned monopoly land.

At the end of the day, I think if you look at Chicago, Boston, or any other big US city you will find an equal if not larger number of successful tech startups.
I think we need to stop trying to coin the phrase "Silicon Valley North". Toronto, or Ottawa, or Montreal or Vancouver can not, and never will be SV. The infrastructure, funding and talent just isn't here. Instead, Canadians should be proud to create new companies that aren't part of the "echo-chamber", but are instead profitable, disruptive and innovative. We should be trying to model NYC and the companies they are pumping out rather than trying to be a whole other ecosystem.
Interesting, and speculative.
Here's a video demo of Project Natal in use that looks exhausting.

That is awesome. Using a projector is novel and as technology advances I could see that being replace by clear lcd glasses, contact lenses, and perhaps bionic implants.
"It has to be for every human being...It's been 25 years. Can there really be only one interface? There can't."

I love that, and I totally agree. I think what we're going to see in the future is applications that primarily use the interfaces they're best suited for with fallbacks to other less well-suited interfaces.

Is this going to be the future for every application? No way. The same way touch-based interfaces aren't the future for every application. But (as with any demo) he's only scratching the surface here and I believe that a UI which matches the way we already think about things has some huge implications.
For two systems of equal functionality, the one that allows or encourages fewer footbullets is the better design. Not all complexity is essential.
I don't think this is really a given. I admit I'm not familiar with whether or not there exist some free and open source anti-cheat software out there but I can definitely imagine a world where if people put enough resources in developing such software it'd be totally possible to be as good as current proprietary anti-cheat techniques.

Claiming that knowing how the code works lets you break the code is basically advocating for security by obscurity which I'm fairly sure we're all aware it's not the holy grail of a secure system. If you will allow me a bit of a hyperbole, it'd be like saying that since I have access to the entire code of my SSH client, that gives me the capability of modifying it so it lets me connect to every server (even those that I do not own) without a password. That's simply not how it works.
