A thinkpad X60 with a 120Gb disk managed to compile the kernel, base and xenocara ok in 5.5 release, but it took a fair time (some hours). If you use the default partition layout which defines separate slices for a lot of subdirectories of /usr, you run out of space in the src directory trying to compile, so I tend to select a custom layout and have just swap and a / directory.

The mtier binary update packages will save the fan and some electricity though. Thanks to all who commented with their experience.

Ah thanks, I was aware of artist-mode, I thought there was some ESS like package that could output ascii graphs of functions :) R-fiddle is new to me though, thanks for that.
Really. I've always assumed it was the norm, at least in the US. But it's just my experience; I'm hardly an 'in demand' kind of candidate, and things are surely different in different markets.

In this case, it sounds like the OP is probably trying to get a job at nVidia. That's a very large, public, multinational corporation with thousands of employees. I would expect nothing less than ruthless efficiency from their HR group, including not wasting time sending thanks-but-no-thanks letters to people they don't want a relationship with. There's nothing in it for them.
> Contrast this to Lisp-like langauges, where function (or macro) invocation only happens in the first position of an S-expression. In Lisp, it's clear that an identifier is either a variable or a function depending on where it's located.

It may not be depending on the context; consider:

(let ((foo 123)
(+ 'please-dont-do-that))
(print foo)
(print +))

Both `foo' and `+' are variables here - while present on a first position of an S-expression at one point - even if you're running a Lisp-1 (like Scheme), i.e. where functions and variables share a namespace - or rather, a symbol can have separate function and value bindings. In Lisp-n (like Common Lisp) you can have a variable slot bound to a function value (i.e. lambda).

But one thing Lisp does have, which impacts readability significantly IMO, is simple and consistent syntax. Contrast to some Ruby-like languages which let you skip braces when working with dictionaries, making you stop and wonder how the hell a given piece of code is going to be parsed by the interpreter. Or Scala, which has so much context-dependent meaning bound to non-letter characters that I finally start to understand why people were afraid of C++ operator overloading. Both examples are, in my opinion, cases of syntactic sugar leading to cancer of semicolon.

I agree and disagree. I would definitely start with a simpler algorithm like logistic regression or even trees and use temporal features like power at different frequencies by taking an FFT. I would even add time lagged features. After that I'd graduate to a single hidden layer MLP.

If I had tons of data (a lot of different people using it), I'd experiment with LSTM neural networks because I think the temporal information is crucial for determining a movement.

I think a killer app would be aimed at weight lifters. If you go to the gym, the serious weight lifters record their reps and weight for each exercise. The app would utilize the iWatch or some other wearable and detect the exercise and count the reps. Then it would prompt the user for how much weight they used.
I tried that very location in Colorado. My experience was good though not earth shattering like Joe Rogan makes it out to be. Then again, I didn't ingest any edible cannabis prior to jumping in like he does.

I would like to try again though. That location is clean albeit not very spa like. I can see where the Wild West aspect of it might be a problem for some places though. It's probably best to research places first. Even stop by for a visit prior to floating.

What are better ads? Are they ads that really connect with you? Do they change your behavior in some significant way? What makes ads better for the consumer? What makes ads better for the marketer? My answer is that what's good for the marketer is not good for the consumer. Google is optimizing for the marketer (getting better ROI). As long as consumers are told the ads are "unintrusive" they must be good too right? When marketers have a really strong ROI, they can get their ads out there and influence customer behavior. That type of influence is not good - and does not make it better for consumers.

As a first generation Chinese-American, I run into a similar problem converting back and forth between Chinese and English -- where English only has words for thousand and million, the Chinese prefer to speak in units of ten thousand (wan). You get a feel for how unintuitive it is to say things like "twenty-five ten-thousands" to read the number 250000, or "a thousand ten-thousands" for ten million.

With regards to why America doesn't make the change to metric, I recall reading somewhere that the American manufacturing base didn't want to have to convert all their infrastructure, currently set up to manufacture screws, bolts, and other such tools in units of inches, half-inches, five-eighths inches and so forth. It's not just a question of cultural shifts in intuition -- there's a physical cost associated with making the change as well.

Knuth's quote comes to mind -- the root of all evil being premature optimization. I wonder about the full price when you integrate the little costs of these scenarios of suboptimal standards -- not just in the realm of physical measurement, but the QWERTY keyboard, pi vs. tao, English grammar rules, even the base ten number system among others. But at some point you have to declare "good enough", and stop refactoring to instead pay upkeep on the accumulated technical debt. Perhaps it is a shame that America chose not to refactor to metric, but maybe some day down the road we will find a generation generous enough to raise their children with better-optimized standards, and pay the costs of re-learning a new intuition themselves.
I would argue that "two decades" can stand alone with the meaning "for two decades". However, your criticism's still justified because it's a garden-path construction.
Care to share your curriculum?
They explicitly state 'more useful'. That is the metric they are using, better ads are ads which are more useful.

For example. Until a day or two I did not know the 'MX Master' mouse existed. An advert for this would have been useful.

As someone that's used Theranos a few times, I too have wondered about the accuracy and contemplated doing something similar.

However, if one is going to make comparisons, I think it's better to use the same draw of blood for both lab companies. Or at least within an hour of each other.

There are too many variables at play, and numbers can change between morning and afternoon even on the same day depending on the test.

Repeated tests and obtaining standard deviations would also be a good idea.
There's a more straightforward censorship here as well: abusing the report functionality. Most of these are automatic so anyone with enough followers can easily exploit this mechanism and get other people locked out.

Then I think your only option to remain logically consistent is to not install any ad blocker.
Does the book teach you how to be a good storyteller?

BTW, thanks for this one [1]. I'll be reading it, and similar material, really soon (had it bookmarked here.)

Regarding my comment, I should have explained myself better in any case.

I suspect all software developers have experienced some amounts of stress in getting things done on time. My problem is that I don't keep a track record of it.

Just a few days ago on a phone interview they asked me of any interesting problem I had solved. My honest non-impressive answer was "nothing in particular, I just go at it and keep going".

I have faced countless problems and when I do: I fix them. I don't write them on my diary. But now I know I should have.

One thing I do keep track are my programming and linux notes because I've dealt with so many different technologies.

And will be moving those to github and blogs since nowadays you need to be a social coder.

The video embedded in the article talks about Tsinghua University beating MIT in rankings. This is a quantity vs quality since Tsinghua University churns out more research papers than MIT [1] because of the vast amount of students.

In a pilot project announced Wednesday, students will be able to take a semester of free online courses in one of MIT's graduate programs and then, if they pay a "modest fee" of about $1,500 and pass an exam, they will earn a MicroMaster's credential, the school said.

If the trial fee is $1500, I'm not sure they'd go right back to $150
Your report will have 0s for those users. Ideally your SaaS web app should use another tool for tracking analytics data instead. Google is a bad choice because you are basically tagging all your customers as "Dear marketers, please advertise to these people because they are interested in product X". Say hello to even more churn. (And not to mention more competitive ad-buyers when it comes to user acquisition)

Consumers concerns relating to Google analytics are valid, but the companies/sites hosting them are harmed significantly worse.

How is this any different than buying a model RC plane? Many high end planes have GPS on board and with some modifications, can be made to fly from way point to way point. RC planes can also get to higher air speeds than a quadcopter.

Maybe provide some minimal compensation to trusted reviewers in the form of product discounts or free stuff – enough to make knowledgable people take their time to objectively evaluate something they wanted, but not enough to pull in people who are just willing to do anything to get freebies. You could have a reputation system that provided deeper discounts over time to people who were able to write more-useful reviews (as judged by other users).
I'm in a similar situation, but instead of not replying to me, it's consistently "Sorry, promise I will schedule your next interview by the end of day today" - it's been over 2 weeks and 3 emails with the recruiter.

While its true that there's no sole economic incentive to purchase safety equipment, that incentive lacks regardless of an environment of free trade. In other words, unsafe work conditions can exist in communism, socialism, monarchy, etc. and regardless of the political environment safety equipment and procedures will always have a cost in real terms and as such there will always be economic incentive to avoid them.

If somebody wants object identity rather than semantic equality, they should be using `equal?`. The fact that different types have different equality semantics if just kind of inherent in the idea of a type.
Most problems people have with operator overloading seem to be caused by the same issue that makes them whine about "debugging metaprogramming" (I referenced that in other comment here). Namely, instead of trying to understand the code and the model behind it, they try to bring over their own assumptions about how the code should work.

That 5-component object compared by ==? How does it work? Sit down, read the code and find out. The answer depends on what exactly the object represents and what makes sense in the domain model.
> Operators are unique in the language. They hold a special place. They deliberately are written to imply something we already understand. No fair lumping them in with every other attribute or method of an encapsulated type.

I would argue that a CORE value of Ruby is that everything is an object, and objects communication by message passing. Treating an operator as anything other than a message between objects is fundamentally wrong.

If you expect operators to do anything other than call the appropriate message on an object, you're misunderstanding the syntax.
I've done it before, but it was kind of a pain and I got the impression nobody else used that stuff. I wonder why it's not more popular/easy.

FWIW, the Washington Post started doing this last month...and at some point they've apparently decided to stop doing it:

But when we clicked through to another article on the site, the redirect screen popped up.
The example you gave is clear, though. They are variables because they appear in a LET form. It's clear from the context what is going on. What I'm referring to, in Ruby, is something like:

def some_method
what_is_this
end

You don't know what what_is_this is. It could be an instance variable, a method (anywhere in the inheritance tower), or an autogenerated method from method_missing. It's impossible to tell without digging through the code. But the problem there is, you can't simply grep the code for things like this. You could end up with 100s of uses of the identifier and never find the source. Especially if you inherit a class from a gem, or method_missing has been used.

> In Lisp-n (like Common Lisp) you can have a variable slot bound to a function value (i.e. lambda).

Yes, and Lisp-1 vs Lisp-n has been a hot debate for decades in both Lisp and Scheme communities. I'm not about to claim it's a completely solved problem there.

My gut tells me that by the holiday season we'll see more major sites blocking ad-blockers.

And, of course, we'll just use different tools. Or better yet, change our browser signatures. After all, it's a courtesy to content providers for consumers to tell them what kinds of tools they're using. That courtesy can be rescinded.

This entire spy vs. spy scenario makes me sad. I'm very sorry that the internet thought that folks walking by a storefront looking at your sales copy was a monetizable event. It is not. It was simply a fluke of the way the default technology was constructed.

And now I fully expect to see large, well-funded players enter the fray -- on the side of content providers. That's also a bad thing. Going to be a lot of pain before this gets sorted out.
It seems content.js at least for me is still hashes of passwords and not the passwords themselves, perhaps you need to open the website to have it be decrypted and saved in content.js?

Correct. The passwords are not breached in any way. It's the metadata that is the leak, and that alone can be enough to compromise accounts.

Well, copyright does prohibit redistributing the scraped content. And that is what all 3rd party content scraping services essentially do. That violates copyright law in quite a few countries. If you scrape with your own tools, own servers and use it only within your company, I would think it's a different legal matter.
