Yes, But London is ridiculous. A few years ago I looked at a one room crappy apartment of about 250 Square-feet, 10 subway stops outside of Londons circle line, and they wanted 625£ a week. At the time that would have been 4000$ and that would have gotten me a something considerably larger and nicer in San Francisco. When you start thinking of San Francisco as a good value housing option you know something has gone horribly wrong.

I love London in many ways, and at one point I was considering moving, but now, its just not reasonable. San Francisco has many faults, but at least its _the_ place to be in tech, so if that what you want to do, it might be worth it. London doesn't have anything (Finance, arts) you cant get in other places.
Umm a large crowd descended on the Capitol and people died as a result. There exist militia groups which saw this. The threat is credible and real. You are delusional to think otherwise. The US probably needs to mass arrest those people or break up their movements like they did other nationalist groups like the Black Panthers, who had similar agendas. And pass gun control laws to keep them from having arms with which they would threaten the government.
the point is, no program writes the date YYYY-DD-MM (or at least, it's very rare).

users who don't know what ISO 8601 is would learn, simply because when that format is used in software, it is consistent!
Go to a car dealership or real-estate agent and tell them they'll now have to pay $30 on every transaction, and see how it goes.
Cross that bridge southwards and you'll find a great Christ the Redeemer lookalike too!
> I think if your syntax and semantics imply the stack-ness of your coroutine implementation then you you have a language design problem

A lot of languages, including C#, python, C++, rust and many others specify the stackless-ness of coroutines. So it is not just an implementation detail. You could argue that specifying these semantics is a problem, and I would actually agree, but obviously it is not something many, if not most, language designers agree.
I’ve done it, and it’s great! http://www.chrisfenton.com/the-zedripper-part-1/
The author used GDP per capita as noted in the comments on the page. Why not use a less clickbait title like "why is UK's GDP per capita lower than US?", his piece would have sounded less intellectually dishonest.
Those who are looking for the OpenNI drivers, they are still open source and can be downloaded through https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI2
Hopefully one of the OpenNI open-source forks will emerge as the de facto "main" fork, and everyone will use that.
Am I the only one who has serious question marks with Watsi? Portraying itself as a non-profit hocus-pocus third-world-helper, why does it have so many investors and such a big riced crew?

I can't help but think how it is non-profit, but ONLY after investors and founders are paid good sums of money. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I am just saying it is shady.
"They are at best an ally, and at worst prepared to destroy an industry for the sake of profit and domination."

This is everybody in the industry. Convince yourself otherwise at your own peril.
I didn't know that was possible. Even if you can compile Roslyn to JS to run on the client, you still need to compile most parts of the BCL as well, or else you still need to make a server call.
I've been reading for a lot longer than a week. Still not feeling the hurt.
The number of fish swimming past the escalator each minute could be modeled as a random variable with a Poisson distribution.
You can always ignore these incoherent emails. But if you put up some kind of filter before people can contact you, it won't be your decision which feedback you ignore.

And, if you really try, you can often extract valuable feedback even from what seems to be incoherent babble at first.
[open offices] are a systemic solution to communication, collaboration,
and motivation problems. All three need different systemic solutions
in a private office context, but those solutions would be more forced
and less natural.

I don't understand how those three things require "systemic solutions" in an office environment. When I need to collaborate with a coworker I just travel ten feet to their office or click their name in HipChat.
Deep neural networks are usually trained on GPUs which can provide a huge speed up, and is much cheaper. However they can easily be run on CPUs after being trained. I don't see why they wouldn't have access to GPUs in production though.
This just in: do what you love
Pypy is slower than v8?
>Yeah, the big problem is the death of coal power. Coal power plants can stockpile enough fuel to run for a good while no matter the weather.

I read that multiple coal plants went offline due to weather related issues including problems with the water supply needed to operate the steam turbines and freezing of coal piles.

https://www.eenews.net/stories/1063727799 has some good details including that 38% of coal generation capacity was offline during the worst of the recent freeze in Texas.

I think this all just comes back to the point made up-thread: preparing power infrastructure for bad weather is essential, and the size of the relative advantage of coal vs. other forms of generation is dominated by the improvement in availability that comes from that.
> Have you considered maybe teachers are poorly paid, rather than police are highly paid?

Both can be true at the same time.
A weird thing about Xenix is that it used the Microsoft C compiler, including COFF format object files. I didn't try it, but I'm pretty sure you could cross compile to MS-DOS with it.

Anonther thing I remember is that floppy driver was terrible- the interleave was incorrect for it, so pretty much one block per disk rotation. People forget, but a big reason for early Linux success was addressing issues like this.

Oh, and the filesystem used a linked-list for the free blocks. Basically you had instant fragmentation.
Depends if the lock-downs are at your doorstep or at the border. The UK had a few opportunities to pursue a zero covid strategy but squandered them all.
Scam? That assumes deliberately misleading people for the scammer to benefit. Who exactly is benefiting from this?

While I don't agree that it's obvious even now that that using real names is damaging (i.e. makes things worse than anonymity/pseudonymity) the assumption that it's a scam goes 100% against Hanlon's razor.

It's pretty easy to claim that using real names online does more harm than good when pointing at a data leak but we should also consider the opportunity costs, the outcome of the alternative scenario. I'd say that all the fake and troll profiles show that anonymity makes people behave in a way that's damaging to online communication (and hence is a lot, maybe most communication is online these days, all communication). You can say that fake profiles are there anyway, which is true, but it still doesn't mean that everyone going anonymous wouldn't be a lot worse. So at best it's an undecided question as opposed to being a deliberate scam.
>Do you not see the difference in ethical scale and scope?

I agree with you that to you (and me) in this case there is a difference.

But, who sets the scale & scope?

(I am aware that the box has been opened, it will never be closed.)
In other words: no, you wouldn't feel the same.

He's a blogger, not an assault victim, but his concerns are similar. Avoiding harassment and physical violence against himself and his family. Avoiding negative consequences on his career.

Why are his concerns less valid than anyone else's? "Because I disagree with him" or "because he talks about ideas I don't think should have a platform" aren't good answers. There's no allegation he hurt anyone, did anything illegal, abused his influence, or acted in bad faith. So what's the journalistic purpose of exposing him?
Let's hope that nobody invents a language called Zen -- they will run into problems. :)
Polyunsaturated fats have many unstable double carbon bonds, so especially under heat a wide range of new fat compounds form which were never present in the human diet.
Why I can't register for an account even if the app is not available? Why, again, Android users get discriminated against and iPhone users get a leverage again and again?! How hard is to create a signup form and give everybody an equal chance to reserve their username?
Private is not the same concept as secret.

My name is not secret. It is, however, private.
We now have GWAS. Social heritability is ruled out as explanation of IQ inheritance.
It would be better if "fat" was renamed to "fuel" because that's exactly what it is. Fuel for the body.
Glass, at least in the UK, just seems to be broken into aggregate to be used in building roads:

I believe they’ve given it the catchy name glassphalt
Plant based oils often have low oxidation temperatures, and oxidized oils are not particularly healthy. Saturated fats usually have higher oxidation temperatures making them more suited to high temperature cooking.
Perhaps not shaming, but the first sentence on their homepage seems to suggest that they'd have some sort of list:

> The gpl-violations.org project tries to raise public awareness about past and present infringing use(r)s of GPL licensed software.

At any rate, if you click the News link in the navbar, you can find some news with names of entities they've gone after, though nothing is particularly recent.
Which will capture 3 blurry pixels if anything...
Thanks - good clarification. Makes a lot of sense.
But that’s the wrong argument when electric cars are perfectly capable of taking long road trips, if you choose one with a good fast charging network.
I was just thinking about this. They just found a new salivary gland a few months ago. And that was in a relatively accessible location... would not be surprised if there are similar things waiting to be discovered in the brain.
BLE actually fixed that and it uses less energy. I have used it both on desktops and on embedded devices, in C and in scripted languages, and it has been a pleasure.
You have got to be kidding me. Not everyone publicly states who they voted for, esp if they are a supreme court justice. There are some things that don't need a source to be stated, just read his wikipedia, you don't even need to connect the dots.
If the CIA was involved, it must have been for something fishy.

This explains the motivation to get roff working on the PDP-11. These expensive research machines being used as word processors--when there's perfectly good secretaries down the hall at Bell Labs--seems not a natural idea but to DMR it was.

> At the time of the placement of the order for the PDP-11, it had seemed natural, or perhaps expedient, to promise a system dedicated to word processing. During the protracted arrival of the hardware, the increasing usefulness of PDP-7 Unix made it appropriate to justify creating PDP-11 Unix as a development tool, to be used in writing the more special-purpose system. By the spring of 1971, it was generally agreed that no one had the slightest interest in scrapping Unix. Therefore, we transliterated the roff text formatter into PDP-11 assembler language, starting from the PDP-7 version that had been transliterated from McIlroy's BCPL version on Multics, which had in turn been inspired by J. Saltzer's runoff program on CTSS. In early summer, editor and formatter in hand, we felt prepared to fulfill our charter by offering to supply a text-processing service to the Patent department for preparing patent applications. At the time, they were evaluating a commercial system for this purpose; the main advantages we offered (besides the dubious one of taking part in an in-house experiment) were two in number: first, we supported Teletype's model 37 terminals, which, with an extended type-box, could print most of the math symbols they required; second, we quickly endowed roff with the ability to produce line-numbered pages, which the Patent Office required and which the other system could not handle.

Great game, got to level 13 before getting tired of the mechanic. Might be perfect for mobile?
It is good to know that they need access to a lot of predictions from a net, before they can create an image that will "fool" the net, but look alien to humans. Secondly, this doesn't account for ensembling: "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...". Since the images are crafted for a single net, a majority vote should not be fooled by these images. I suspect this effect rapidly goes away when adding more nets (which is basically industry-standard practice to increase accuracy).

Furthermore, I am seeing the security concerns, but I figure this is far from a practical attack. Deep Learning Classifiers do not act as gatekeepers: You have not much to gain from a single faulty classification. You won't be granted access to secret information if you happen to look like the CEO.
First difference is that ASP.NET is running on the server side. GWT is fully compiled to JavaScript and runs in browser. The server doesn't even need to be Java, can be even plain web server without server side code. With GWT you typically develop one-page web applications.

As of doing everything in code - not necessary. As of now GWT has UiBinder - it is a kind of template or DOM + widgets, where you then bind code to it. But in upcoming 3.0 it will use web components standard (http://www.w3.org/TR/components-intro/)
What "significant problems" was he threatening you with?
That's a fascinating argument that feels a bit too clever. Do many people actually hold this position, or is it more of an interesting train of thought?
Hey Patrick,

I don't have a question, but I just want to say that you're a huge inspiration... and I'm so close to getting ready to take the plunge, get off my ass, and start working on my own projects.

Thanks for being so open with your experiences.
A problem, though, is that the inverse isn't necessarily true: if you're paying, it doesn't necessarily mean that you aren't still the product. It mostly depends on whether someone else is paying more. For example, for most magazines, you're the product even when you're paying them a subscription fee.
Thoughts:

1) Cute kid.

2) "Real estate" is two words.

3) As a redditor, I've gotta say this probably won't get too much traction there. The people that do receive help from the community generally sound a lot more desperate than you do.
I hate to be cruel, but expect the response from Reddit to be something similar to "You knew your situation, you chose to have another kid, and now you want our help?"

I'm not saying this is a reasonable response, just that you should be prepared for it. :(

Best of luck.
I'm a desktop application developer still finding my feet on the web. Should I bother learning "pure" JavaScript or should I just learn a library like JQuery?
Untag x 5, remove friend - crisis averted.
I donated and the counter didn't go up :)
What's your opinion of technologies like Node, WebGL, MooTools, and GWT? All are interesting to me but I'm not sure where to invest my time.
I pay for Fastmail too. But I hate myself for it. Gmail offers IMAP nowadays, no?
> automatic highway surveillance

As someone who has lived in the dystopia that is the UK, who've been doing this for ages, it's not so bad.
5000 was pretty good 6 years ago:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7+860+%4...

The TDP is much lower on the 5557U though, at 28W vs 140W for the 5960X and 95W for the 860. Thus, the 5557U is not a leader in raw speed but several times more power-efficient.
To save people time, the reference is the Three-North Shelter Forest Program -

"... a series of human-planted windbreaking forest strips (shelterbelts) in China, designed to hold back the expansion of the Gobi Desert."
True, but it's a dangerous precedent. The fact is that a lot of law in areas such as traffic, waste management etc is basically meant to be fluid and a deterrent; if everybody that littered where it was illegal, drank from open containers where it was illegal, fly-tipped or sped was instantly caught, then we'd just have tonnes of people in prison for relatively minor offences.

I think there's a desirable degree of pragmatism to be favoured in lieu of unbounded technological utopianism on this point.
NSA, etc. doesn't count as an army ?
I'm sure there's a lot of novel stuff they're trying to do here, but the article seems to seriously skirt that inertial navigation systems are all around us and in fact predate GPS by a lot.

Doesn't seem to me they're re-inventing GPS, just making better INS.
Reading about Redis Cluster, I am a bit worried that some re-invention of core erlang features is going on.

If nothing else, an erlang to redis bridge might make for a nice pesudo-cluster...
I think the only time that Google changes a word in quotes is if the spelling algorithm is very confident. For example, if you searched for [barack obama "autobiolgraphy"], you are going to get results for "autobiography" with the option to really search for "autobiolgraphy".

Other than that, I'm pretty sure that a word in "quotes" must appear in the result to be retrieved, without any alternatives. If you have a counter-example, I would love to see it! (I work on that code.)
It's more than that, it's a statement that adding software to fix software just means there's more software to fix.

The correct solution is to remove software - there's no point in fixing it if you have no legitimate need for it anyway. Then you can concentrate on the software that you do need.

For example, do you remember Blaster?
It was a worm that exploited a service in windows 2000 and XP,
a service that very few people actually need, and probably shouldn't have been included in home versions of windows at all.
If it hadn't been included or enabled, Blaster, walachia and other worms would never have had the reach that they did.
It's a trade off. Other languages don't have this problem but they are missing the benefit of an all async ecosystem.
If you're on a Mac, it's rendered in Times (the Linotype version) rather than Times New Roman (the Monotype version).
But even with Testosterone, boys don't try to impregnate every girl they are alone with. Maybe they'd want to, but they are not completely brainless.
But how are you more private with a VPS? That is what I don't understand.
Don't be so quick to discount a compelling interface and user experience as a possible killer feature, particularly for a mobile application.
Mostly because it’s a damn good investment in Germany.

The price you can sell energy at is guaranteed (government subsidies). Your investment (maybe 100,000 €) will pay itself off in about twenty years (including insurance and the occasional maintenance). Modern solar panels have a lifetime of more than twenty years.

Because of all this banks will be more than happy to give you credit and if you have the necessary space you would be stupid if you didn’t do it. It’s free money.
If you want to know how to run a good meeting, read Andy Grove's book, High Output Management. It's the best of the business books I've read.

It's hard work to make meetings useful but the book lays out the groundwork.
I don't think the analogy helps. Digital goods can be sold infinitely many times, unlike your house. Explaining the difference between selling data and selling a service enabled by that data is not as easy as it sounds. It means that a real state agency doesn't have to know your address to assess how much your property is worth - someone else is doing the math and connecting you and them.
Ever thought about trying to do extrative summarization the same way? I'm constantly frustrated that there is no extractive PEGASUS variant and all the existing transformer based extractive models rank (or rather highlight) sentences rather than highlighting/underline at the word level like most humans do.
Well said! We're so deep in the details that we can't see that every long-winded explanation sounds like total BS to regular people but is really just a subconscious apology.
The point is to introduce some friction into app developers using these methods, by informing users what's possible.

It's disgusting what some apps do to slurp off personal information, that they are only able to get away with because users don't understand whats at stake.
Caddy is a single file web server as well :) https://caddyserver.com/

Admittedly they solve different usecases, where Redbean seems to want to serve a whole static site as a single file, which isn't currently possible with Caddy, (but you can run `caddy file-server` to serve the current directory as a static site), but it may become possible in the future with Golang's new embed package https://golang.org/pkg/embed/
If an autonomous horse is a wild horse, bump that to 100%.
True, but then why don't we have awesome Linux trackpad drivers for Intel Macbooks?
>HTTP/FTP certainly have their place, but that is not on the open internet.

Then it ceases to be the "open" internet.
Oh yes secret management with kubectl is needlessly complicated

Sure just put your secret data on a file then we'll use your file name as the key of the secret.

Cronjobs sometimes have weird bugs as well.

A lot of its complexity is due to the fact it's an evolving system, that's fine. But I see that some things end up way more complex or unreliable than it needs due to overengineering or use cases no one needs
Source? My understanding is Elon Musk believes blunt body re-entry vehicles landing with SuperDraco thrusters is the wrong architecture for Mars colonization, so all funding has been redirected to Starship development.
> But it is a surprisingly negative headline.

That's the Register's schtick, they're snarky about everything.
>Since nobody knows how to reliably ship secure commercial software, liability will mostly have the effect of making it difficult to start new software businesses.

Doesn't sound so bad of a tradeoff, enforced for certain classes of software. Like one expects liability for medical, banking, flight control, etc. software, it could be extended to OSes, server programs, and anything handling user accounts...

Software with less impact if it's not secure, like e.g. a media player or a text editor, could continue to ship free from liability.

At least Apple makes puts it out of its misery quickly, unlike the likes of Google, Microsoft or Yahoo, who have been known to let products of acquired companies live on like zombies before finally "sunsetting" them.

How often haven't we read the whole fake happy "we're so excited, but nothing will change" press releases? Those have become a running joke.
