Apple did not pick this battle, how can you even think they would? the FBI carefully chose this case to break character and go public on despite Apple's request to have the case sealed.

This tragedy is being exploited by the FBI in order to set a legal precedent to further their surveillance powers that would compel a Technology company to use their own resources against theirs and their customers best interests.
The list is for aspiring filmmakers, not necessarily just good movies. I can see why Rear Window made it to the list, because it's a script that is ideally made for the movie medium, for example.

Highlighting the quotes reminds me of a gripe I have with quoting styles in print: When a quote consists of two paragraphs, the first paragraph does not get an ending quote:

He said, "The first sentence.

"The second sentence," he continued.

Somehow my mind gets triggered pretty intensely by these unbalanced quotes.

Does anyone have some background?
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing for that one. I'm not sure why he picked it. I don't think Gibson as a director made any memorable movie (some are decent but I can't see them being in such a list).
The key is that when construction is allowed to lag behind needs, prices will rice much more quickly than they otherwise might. But sure, I agree that there will always be multiple factors at play.
Well 45/55k is /cheap/ for a senior dev. Unless you work for a bank/inner london (or google) all you can hope for is perhaps 65k, at the top...
So yeah, if you want more, the only way is to sell off and 'manage', or go off contracting.
There's many junior 'managers' who can barely lace their own shoes who get quite a bit more than 65k.
They are two widely used tools in the web dev industry. The developer of this CSS framework is simply supporting users of those tools, they're not deserving of this criticism.

I know a couple of people who did the move and both said it was a wash money wise once you factor all your costs (healthcare, rent, private school for the kids etc). Your job options are an order of magnitude better though.
I guess that's the problem with a list and no context. Without knowing what exactly he saw in it that he thinks an aspiring director should pay attention to then you can watch them, but to what end? The issue with being an aspiring anything is you likely lack the maturity and contextual awareness to glean knowledge from every experience.

Another thing people overlook is that when all peoples money is in the bank, then banks are free to raise all the "fees" they need to "handle" your money.

Also if all peoples money is in the bank, then government can choose what ever tax rate they please and just take the money by simple transaction.

Why do people keep saying talking in person is inconvenient, as if saying it makes it true? It is, in my experience, extremely convenient. It is the most convenient form of communication, person to person. I want to talk to my friend. Do you have a phone? Oh you don't. Let me make sure I got your phone number right. etc.
Interesting. Do you have a link to description of their "dataflow" implementation or API?

From what I can see in the docs I'm getting afraid Dask does the same mistake as so many other recent tools: Allow only task dependencies, while what is needed in general scientific workflows is data dependencies (connect outports and inports of process). I have explained this difference in a blog post earlier: http://bionics.it/posts/workflows-dataflow-not-task-deps

(UPDATE: in all fairness, they seem to be doing something in-between, a little like Snakemake, in that they allow to specify data inputs based on a naming scheme. What we want is a totally naming scheme independent declarative way of explicitly connecting one output to one input, as that is the most generic and pluggable way you could do it.)

If they allow true data dependencies though, that would be very interesting.
I would not pay, but I would really like some written podcasts, simply because I can read faster.
I feel bad that we now live in a world where a person can't release a list of influential filmmakers without including another group arbitrarily. As someone in the tech world, if someone asked me who my list of influences were, I'd be afraid to answer for fear of being lambasted for not including Sheryl Samdberg or Marissa Mayer.
That's subjective at that point, I'd personally regard running an insecure configuration for supposedly secure connections as improper.
Many people are talking about the great films that he is missing. But if this is a list of films every aspiring director should see and not just a list of very good films, I think it would also be important to watch bad and very bad movies. Ed Wood should be in a list like this, for example, as well as TV films, anime, stop-motion films...

Really? Rear Window always seemed like a script that would be ideally served as a play (i.e. not many scene changes) that Hitchcock had adapted well to a movie.
Well that's the downside of variable rate, yes, but that's more of a feature than a bug.

Locking in the interest rate costs a little bit more (in the form of a higher fixed rate), so perhaps the folks taking the variable rate weren't financially prepared to handle those terms in any case?

In the UK you get ahead by going into management. Tech (or sales, or accounting, or whatever) is just a short term thing you do for a few years until you get promoted into management. We don't like to reward people for being clever; we like to reward people who tell others what to do.
Longer in Quebec (we do pay an additional contribution into the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan to fund it.)

Generally here the mother gets 18 weeks, the father 5 and there's a further 32 weeks to share between the two as the parents see fit. There's similar benefits for adoption and I don't remember the rules for LGBT couples but there are some.

There's also an alternate schedule that trades less weeks for a larger fraction of the pre-leave salary.

...the "destroying" part seems like a pretty good thing imho. Setting some forests on fire to make room for some new sprouts seems pretty appealing :)

"Community destruction" in the online landscape is pretty much a synonym for "pushing people towards better communities where they are better off anyway"... So a good thing.

(And I don't see the place of Wikipedia and donations in this. Wikipedia is obviously not selling any in-app purchases and the software they run on is "open source". HN is also "true free". Even their platform is open-source: https://github.com/wting/hackernews not that this should count that much. And donations are obvious not profit, they are not even taxed as such. No ambiguity here.)
API in such case is not the product. A service exposing the API is the product. You don't license interfaces for other to implement, so you don't seel API.
If you check Amazon right now Witcher 3 is 41$ for PS 4, and 36$ on PC. Steam sales also allow you to buy an endless stream of AAA games for cheap.

Yes, Witcher 3 is demanding for your older PC. But, plenty of people don't buy a new console the year it comes out either. PC gamers can always push off an upgrade and wait to play any overly demanding game(s).

PS: It's also a good idea to stay on the console upgrade cycle. A lot of PC games are cross ports so late in cycle they run really well on older PC's.

Absolutely brilliant directing, and a good film to learn about staging.

You know you have a great movie when you can turn the sound off and you're still captivated by the story.

Lots of people think you can treat a movie like a book. They forget that cinematics are far more important for movie storytelling than narrative.

If you want to write a book, then write a book. Don't make a movie if what you want is a book. Movies are different from books, and should be treated as such.
I'm not sure how you would adapt it as a play : how can you capture someone looking at many apartments at a glance in an act ? In a movie, you can just move the camera around in no time from one flat to another, and that effect is incredibly difficult to reproduce in about any other medium.

That it's a hard problem doesn't necessarily mean we're approaching it wrong. Indeed the fact that it's mathematically proven to be hard offers some confidence that we might not be.

Are there examples of cases where a system was very hard to verify with any one general technique, but much more practical to verify by using several domain-specific techniques and some kind of bridge between them (i.e. not simply coming up with a general approach for which the specialized techniques were, well, specializations - since as far as I can tell your quote is advocating for something different)?

"premature optimization is the root of all evil"

-> I've found this super useful in projects. This doesn't mean you don't spend time on design or architecture, but it means many engineers have a strong tendency to jump on optimization opportunities too quickly (the more junior the stronger the tendency), AND this causes bad architecture choices that come to bite you hard later on. Keeping it simple and un-optimized is often better than early optimizing, not just because you save time and it's not worth it (hardware is cheap), but also because you keep your architecture elegant and the real bottlenecks will be different from what you thought they were and will come up later.

It's absolutely valid, and wisdom that's often hard earned.
> I hope diplomacy can move fast enough and get the release of this poor guy.

Hundreds of people get into similar trouble every year. The only reason why this is notable is that it's a prank in North Korea. If he really did try to steal the poster, then he's a moron who walked into the lion's den and tweaked it's nose - it's not like NK's dictatorial control and harsh penalties are subtle and poorly-known. If the story is true, he should be near the bottom of the help-needed list, because there's plenty more who need diplomatic assistance for misadventure beyond their control.

I really don't understand this trend of people going to NK and seeing how far they can push the line. It doesn't make sense - push too far, and you're fucked. And again, it's not like it's easy to innocently go too far - it's difficult to get into the country, it's in the public mind as a crazy place you don't want to step wrong, and you're constantly reminded when you are there. You actually have to want to go there and be an arse if you do go there and be an arse.
Most people here make way above average, and that's when differences increase dramatically. In the US I make close to $300k. In Europe, and London in particular, I get offered under 80k EUR.
100 € might be a bit too low. Mine is 800 € a week IIRC, but it also counts for payments via EC (Electronic Cash, i.e. paying with the normal bank account card). I once ran into it on a Sunday after just having paid for a week-long hotel stay. Luckily I had just enough money left to pay the train ticket back home.

Having said that, I also like the relatively low limit to contain the damage in case of skimming or card theft.
Keep in mind that the list is for aspiring filmmakers. Apocalypto was quite unique in its execution, but yes I agree that it wasn't a great film.
Where Computers Defeat Humans, and Where They Can’t
A two minute film is not a videogame. A show reel requires one good animation to work in one specific situation. A videogame needs an animation that works generally. Also, making a good animation is hard, and artists deserve to be paid. Think of movies, where there are still movies today which have unrealistic CG, despite computation being far from a bottleneck for a feature film (Legolas on the elephant in LOTR: Two Towers) - it's not the technical challenges, it's the artistic challenges.

Right now, the vast majority of games have characters with fixed walk cycles that are used no matter the terrain. Realistic CG needs to have a walk cycle that captures the subtle changes in gait that corresponds to a given surface. I know people have been doing research on adaptive walk cycle, but afaik it has yet to hit production games.

For generating art, there is hope, as procedurally generated games look fantastic (No Man's Sky), but have yet to expand beyond sci-fi games, or into games with story and specific art styles.

Maybe reusing assets is the way forward, but I'm skeptical. Reusing the visuals just means more army guys fighting in sandy deserts crouching behind crates. Maybe the Storm Trooper models for battlefront really are as good as they get. But even then, I think aesthetically realism can lead to a dead end. The most visually impressive game I've played, other than Star Wars Battlefront is The Witness, which is simple in the CG sense, but has some really tremendous visual aesthetic moments that are something I've never seen done in a game. For me, the stylized look and the artistic/game opportunities that enabled were far more exciting than Battlefront's perfect rocks.

The list has little value in isolation. A brief context about why a particular film is in the list would be much more helpful. The audience can then understand why he included "controversial" directors like Gibson.

The list on its own is just a list of films to watch that someone enjoyed...and everyone would most likely have a different list.

>> When Spike originally released this list, many noted the lack of female filmmakers. Lee accepted that critique and released an updated list.

>Does that mean that he saw movies that he felt were worthy of being on the list and (perhaps subconsciously) decided not to list them? Or did he end up listing some movies that he didn't feel were as good as the others, just to meet the quota?

The charitable interpretation would be statistics: if 90+% of recognised films have been directed by men - and I'd expect more men to have directed films in, say, the 1950s than the present day - it's not terribly unlikely that a list would feature only men through chance alone.

Given that such lists are going to be loosely defined - I imagine Lee could come up with several, different, lists on any one day - I don't see why including women directors would be to the detriment of a list and only to meet a "quota."
I still cant for the life of me determine just what it is some of these developers are doing that means the DOM is too slow...

> If you want to write a book, then write a book. Don't make a movie if what you want is a book.

It depends a lot on the book/plot/style. If your book is about self-introspection, for sure it's going to be difficult to make a movie out of it. But there are many books out there which can be translated reasonably well into movies. An extreme example, but the Odyssey from Homer antiquity had absolutely no comments on how the characters felt and all, and merely describes a series of adventures.
The government is not capable of conducting the search on its own in the sense of "access the contents of this particular iPhone at this point in time." Unless you have read some very different material than I have or are using different definitions?

Richard Clark seems to think the NSA would have the capability, and they might, but the FBI apparently (and believably) doesn't.

Apple "assisting in a search" is a little overly summarizing in my opinion. I think there's a difference between "we received your warrant, here's the information we have" and "we received your warrant, we will dedicate engineers employed by our company to actively exploit the security we designed into our products."

Is there precedent for compelling lockmakers to provide technical expertise in defeating their own lock systems? I can't imagine that's never come up historically.
