Attempt at a short summary:

A matrix M has an SVD U S V', where U and V have orthonormal columns and S is a diagonal matrix. How does this generalize to multidimensional arrays?

A third-order tensor T has a multilinear SVD of the form S x (U, V, W), where S is a core tensor and U, V, and W are again orthonormal matrices. In the matrix SVD, U transforms the columns of S, while V transforms its rows (hence it appears on the right of S). The product S x (U, V, W) is similar: U transforms the columns of the core tensor S, V its rows and W the mode-3 vectors of S.

The authors show that slices of S must be orthogonal under the inner product, e.g., <S(:,i,:), S(:,j,:)> = c * delta(i,j). In the case of a matrix SVD, this reduces to S being diagonal.

An example application is predicting how a user would rate a movie at a given time by approximating (the known entries of) a user x movie x time tensor with a truncated multilinear SVD.
It is an apples to oranges comparison, but wouldn't the honest comparison would come out about the same?

My memory is that nuclear emissions from a coal fired station are comparable to a nuclear station, and nuclear doesn't produce smoke. So nuclear should still come out 13,000 people/year ahead.
I may also disable the HDMI interface as well, to see if it makes any real difference in power consumption. It's rumored to do so, but I haven't seen any proof that it helps.

It can be disabled with the command:

It sounds like a very reasonable way to react. If I'm a billionaire and, because of my commute my upbringing or some other factors, regularly see poverty-stricken neighborhoods and how those people live and how they're treated by society I will do everything in my power to guarantee my family and I will never be in that position.

The tough part seems to be convincing people we know how to end poverty, because our track record is not great in this regard.

Lack of built-in networking is a deal breaker for me. At my house, we've been playing around with RPi for quite some time now. We haven't come up with any profound applications, but we're learning things like the Linux command line, Python, and some basic hardware hacking. Two things about networking:

1. We often go out to "sudo apt-get install" etc., to drink from the fountain of free modules that are out there. Just getting anything running seems to require network access.

2. For anything that might benefit from keyboard, mouse, and display, it turns out that the cheapest and easiest source of these things is just an old PC and PuTTY or Remote Desktop.

Excited as I am by the new boards, the original Pi does what I need right now. Most of my projects are conceptual: By the time I've convinced myself that it could run on tiny iron, I'm satisfied and ready to move on to the next project.

Who would ever have thought that we'd be debating about the relative merits of two $10 computers?
Perhaps it's easier for the general public to see the value in Wikipedia. The convenience, breadth, and availability of this resource as a repository of knowledge have never been rivaled. That's simply not the case with browsers. In recent memory, there have always been options, albeit meager at times, so the perceived cost of losing one browser may be significantly less.

Yes, that is what you wrote.

People had just gotten very, very, VERY tired of the
pseudo-tolerant stance he was endorsing [1], and didn't
want to feel that they were lending credibility to it,
by having him at the head of an organization they were a
part of.

[1] "Love the sinner, hate the sin".

Can you please explain how this could possibly mean anything other than "The CEO of Mozilla must not hold the viewpoint 'Love the sinner, hate the sin' because then it is implied that the members of the Mozilla community endorse that view". Because the logical consequence of that position is that Eich must either 1) renounce his view or 2) be removed.

I may be getting old, but why and how did we let web standards inflate to such an extent that only large corporations or organizations are able to build a competitive browser from scratch? There's so much money funneled into browser development these days and the results aren't entirely satisfactory for end users (DRM, security issues) and website developers alike, perhaps it's time to start over with something less bloated.
The thing they seem to be missing here is that the CHIP isn't a sub-$10 computer. They did a sub-$10 Kickstarter as a marketing effort, but their BOM on this chip is over $10, so it's apparent that they were doing the Kickstarter at a loss just for publicity.

The C.H.I.P. manufacturers disagree, and say that it really will be $9 when shipping, but given that it's still vaporware at the moment, it doesn't really make sense to compare to something that has already shipped tens (hundreds?) of thousands of units.
I live in LA.

I completely agree with your point about mentoring someone one on one and in fact have been doing that for a little over a year with someone. He just started at an entry level tech job a few months back so booyah there :-). The experience has been very rewarding (and far more challenging than I anticipated). My skills are the product of mentoring from a kind stranger (now a close friend) so I definitely intend to do more of that.
Be who you want to be.

If it feels disorganize then organize it.

If it feels chaotic then order it.

If it feels bad then make it better.

You want meaning but yet write passively about it, lamenting why it hasn't been given to you for just being paid to show up somewhere in tshirt and jeans for eight hours.

Here's the lesson: you make it up.
1. Get involved with open source projects. This will help you network, teach you new skills, and expose you to wider aspects of the ecosystem involving your technology stack.

2. Pick some other language you've never worked with, that has some potential market (i.e., you could make money with it), and just start learning. Do online courses, cookbooks, make demo projects, and once you have some competency - join an open source project in it. The point isnt just to get a new job, thats a side effect. The point is to regain a fondness for programming by seeing it from a totally new angle. If youre into Python, have you ever worked in a compiled language like C? How about Java? Functional programming w Haskell? Metaprogramming with Ruby? What about learning a whole new concept, like 3D graphics with an API/framework like OpenGL? Or game engine architecture with Unity3D? Just do something different, and rediscover a love of being a maker in the process. Even if it doesnt become a new trade, you certainly will be a better Python programmer due to your experience in a completely different technology stack.

3. Find local meetup groups that are involved in programming. Meetup.com is a good resource. Keep up to date with technology happenings in your area (conventions, talks, expos, etc), and attend them. Say hi to people, talk about what youd want in a job you think youd love.

Additional advice: Read the book "The Passionate Programmer"

> java.lang.Thread.stop, which does essentially the same thing. It was deprecated in Java 1.2, in 1998,

> Java has a Thread.interrupt method, which sends InterruptedException to a thread. But an InterruptedException is only allowed to be thrown at specific times, for instance during Thread.sleep. Otherwise the thread needs to explicitly call Thread.interrupted() to see if it’s supposed to stop.

I remember when I read about it back then when I played a bit with Java.

I felt bit baffled that they would make something so stupid like `stop()` ... after all Delphi that I learned some years before already had this solution that you only can notify the thread it should stop, through Termintated flag on the thread object and you had to write the thread code to voluntarily end when the flag is set.

Sounds plausible unless you happen to know that children's programmes are dubbed, at least they are in Norway and as far as I know in the rest of the Nordic area.

As an adult subtitled programmes are very useful for locals learning English and foreigners, like me, learning Norwegian.

English spelling is often a problem because people are told that it is simply irregular when the truth is that if you know a little etymology you can figure out a lot because when you know where the word comes from you can then find out what set of rules are to be used for it. I'll admit that there are still difficult words :-)

I am all for supporting an alternative browser to the corporation-driven Chrome, Safari, and IE/Edge. Sadly, Firefox is no longer it.

I believe Mozilla has now become so totally disconnected from the values and principles that made Firefox and the like attractive to a certain set of users that it is beyond redemption.

I also believe Firefox is now so totally off the rails that it is probably beyond saving. It appears to have fundamental architectural issues that have limited development in some important areas, but instead of addressing those in recent years, there has been a string of not-entirely-popular UI changes, some high profile new features that it seems hardly anyone actually wants, and a bad and worsening loss of both flexibility and stability particularly around add-ons. This is not the browser I used to recommend, and it makes me sad.

I am now hoping that one of the forks, perhaps Pale Moon, will take over the community-driven, open-culture mantle that Mozilla once wore. I am also hoping that with Safari still running WebKit, Chrome now on Blink, and IE11 and Edge doing their own thing, there will remain sufficient need for co-operation in the browser community that we get back to something sensible in terms of standardisation and portability within the next couple of years.

Can I ask what are some of the differences between redash and a tool like Apache Zeppelin?
Because of momentum and backward compatibility. What you say may make sense from a purely technical point of view, but you are not considering that 99.999% of Internet users are average users. Without backward compatibility you have no way of winning. And with backward compatibility you have... the current mess of patches upon patches.

> the Wikipedia figure gives a pretty real sense of scale in my opinion.

As noted below, Wikipedia raises that amount because that's what they need. They could easily raise more if they wanted or needed to.

Mozilla already does have a donation drive; the question we're discussing is whether it would be beneficial (and practical) for Firefox to shift its business model to rely more heavily on user donations.

Currently, Mozilla does not raise more because they don't need to - it's not their primary source of funding, and so they're not as aggressive with their donation campaign as they could be.

Then how do babies ever learn to speak? The most fluent speakers of foreign languages are almost always immigrants, because exposure is the key to learning to speak.
Find the projects that speak to you then check in on the communities. Contributing to open source is first and foremost _work_. A community can turn you off from participating, but the motivation to contribute only comes from the product.

Not sure about being the middleman yet. What if the big Usenet providers decide to delete data or we violate their non-business-usage policies? But on the other hand it's really cheap indeed!
We can cancel our Usenet subscription and renew it when the data is needed. So I thought it's maybe better to cut out the middleman by giving the software away.

About the abuse: I imagined that the method could be used like some unlimited-disk-space-providers which had to get rid of that plan because the users used it as advertised.

Of course, apart from that, anyone can write such software. So it's maybe just a matter of time? Though I couldn't find any other solutions besides RAR archives.

The Usenet can be used as a key-value store with handicaps. And stuff can be built on top of that.
Imperfect Forward Secrecy: How Diffie-Hellman Fails in Practice [pdf]
For the time being, just try to separate this idea of "doing something I feel really passionate about, and gets me so excited I can't wait to get to work in the morning!" from "just making a living." The latter really isn't so bad, and even a boring and unfulfilling job can be a blessing in disguise --- if, like this one, it doesn't eat your life, and in your off hours, lets you be you -- on top of filling your bank account while you have all the time in the world to look for something else.

Keeping in mind also that things could easily be a lot worse -- many shops which seem exciting from the outside (and which you might even have recommendations from friends for) can quickly turn out to be toxic, unstable, and/or just play amateurishly-run on the inside. And even though your current job might seem to be a bit of a drag, absolutely having to find a job on short notice (even in a "hot" job market) -- or dealing with the reputation damage from having worked for a company that turns out to be dicey (of from being fired due to petty clashes or interpersonal issues) can be much more costly to deal with, both mentally and financially.

> If you have two choices, choose the harder. If you're trying to decide whether to go out running or sit home and watch TV, go running. Probably the reason this trick works so well is that when you have two choices and one is harder, the only reason you're even considering the other is laziness. You know in the back of your mind what's the right thing to do, and this trick merely forces you to acknowledge it. - Paul Graham [1]

Google wasn't fighting fair. To allow the Chrome team to run free advertisements on the world's most popular website and to allow them to install their browser by default on the world's most popular mobile operating system, well, it's jus dirty. You could advertise IE6 that way and get significant adoption.
But also note that sometimes the corporate agenda involves limiting the opportunities for change and experimentation, resulting in a programmer that amounts to a sophisticated line worker. Its true that many programmers lose their mojo simply because new frontiers arent being handed to them, but many still get career-depressed when faced with hard blockages from the biz bros.

Best solution: be a freelancer ;-)
Is it possible that the blue color exploits a kind of colorblindness in the spider's predators that makes it effective camouflage? In the same way, you could imagine that red would be an effective camouflage against a green background if your predators were red/green colorblind humans.

"If the user uses the Pocket feature, that code makes HTTP requests to another server, which runs a mixture of FOSS and proprietary code"

I want the code to take a piece of HTML source, and extract only the meaningful text body from it. Show me the code that does this for me.

No? It's not open source then, it's proprietary. That's the only meaningful code.

The client code of Pocket != client code of Firefox. Firefox is a web browser - it's client is where the value is. Pocket's browser (like Google's code for it's homepage, and Apple's code for Siri's sleek interface) is 1% the value of Pocket.

My only thought is that the airline is going to regret crumbling under the pressure from developers who wanted node.js. Allowing developers to choose whatever language they want for such a massive system is a mistake. node.js has not proven itself beyond being the latest fad. The developers wanted to use something cool and modern, while clearly ignoring concerns over the long-term viability of the system.

Oh well, that isn't a problem for anyone other than the airline. It's possible that in a matter of a few years (instead of decades), the entire system will have to be reimplemented at the airline's cost. You don't use the latest trendy language for systems which are expected to remain in operation for 20-30 years.
