I'm almost starting to believe there are forces in the FBI trying to thwart the case for the FBI, by making so ridiculous claims that the legal precedence will be set for a long time, preventing the FBI or any agency to get this kind of power.

But then again, it's more likely they just completely lost sight of how the real world actually functions, and their own mandate.

If this actually does go through, my view of the US will be closely aligned with Iran and North-Korea.
It isn't "no agency at all" or "full agency", that is a misleading false dichotomy.

The truth is somewhere between those two extremes. Everyone is HEAVILY influenced by the environment immediately around them.
Yes, but how far can it go beyond human level? Will it be slight margin, so it can win 4-1, or it will soon became able to beat top players with 1,2,10 stones handicap?
Did it ever occur to you that maybe you were still watched and "handled" much the same as any other group, you just didn't notice it?

I've got 100 sources saying that the North is a dystopia where brainwashing is common, starvation is not unusual, and the "Dear Leader" is believed to be able to read minds, etc. These sources are diplomats, researchers, former citizens of NK, defectors, and so forth.

I've got one guy on HN who talks about having fun in a drunken boozefest where the guides told dick jokes.

I'm perfectly fine with changing my view, but Occam's Razor here tells me that, at best, both these stories are true. That is, you had the dystopian tour. You had the "indulge the rich westerners while we take their tourist money" version. After all, if you're not a political threat, and they can isolate/watch you, for them it'd be like being visited by a cadre of millionaires. Who cares if they're undisciplined and unruly? Keep them away from the normal folks and let them feel like they're on a junket.

unless heavy traffic on highway, this is already achievable for me with usual cruise control (I did few home trips that are 1500km far within 1 day - tiring but doable... 1 hour is a breeze in good car).

Yes, that's how modern chess engines manage time. If the score suddenly, drastically changes during search, they give themselves much more time.

In all of these games, AlphaGo used close to a constant amount of time per move, while Lee's varied a lot.

Apparently they only recently added a neural net for time management. Seems it is either not the best approach, or just not yet well trained.
Java Testing Weekly Doc - Must read for the programmers.
There are many software development blogs out there, but many of them don’t publish testing articles on a regular basis. Also, I have noticed that some software developers don’t read blogs written by software testers. That is a shame because I think that we can learn a lot from them. That is why I decided to create a newsletter that shares the best testing articles which I found during the last week.

> [...] would lead you to bad practices

I feel this isn't really due to anything inheritely wrong with PHP, but more of it becoming a victim of it's own success. I feel that Node is heading in the same direction too, as more and more people (especially those new to programming) start using it. At least with Node, using third party libraries and frameworks is more common than the 'copy and paste these lines of code' when I learnt PHP 15 years ago :D

1. My understanding is that Vue consolidates mutations in memory and applies the consolidated results resulting in less DOM churn.

> Tooling is coming in leaps and bounds for dynamic languages.

Yeah, but it tends to involve reimplementing a type system - if anything this is a sign of how mature and easy type systems have become. I think we may see languages with optional/best-effort typing for a while longer, but there will be no more pure dynamic languages; every new language will at the very least have a python3-style language-level standard for how to record type annotations so that tools that work with types can interoperate. And once you have that, it seems stupid not to have the language check at least the simple cases.

> Codebases are also trending way down as companies move to "microservices". Both bode really well for dynamic languages.

I think that's effect rather than cause. If you're writing a big system in (say) Ruby, microservices become the only way to achieve the required level of isolation.

> I actually think the 10 year future is going to be dominated by languages where you don't need to think in terms of types at all but you get all the benefits behind the scenes.

I thought that for a while, but types a really useful tool for thinking with. In Scala I could write Python-like code that wouldn't need any explicit types (they'd all be inferred), but instead I use types to help express the design.
Still, I don't understand why I can't find HDD smaller than 500GB and cheaper. I guess they mass produce to bring cost down, or maybe 500GB is the most efficient GB/$, but I'd be happy about a 250GB HDD for less.
This seems strange to me. If the author "scoured hundreds of different factors" to find the ones to make the graph flat, isn't he just picking the data to match his theory? Surely if he searched through enough factors he would eventually find ones to support his theory.
For those of you who understand regression analysis, does his claim that his thesis is confirmed with regression analysis hold water?
There are no hard-core SDRAM controllers on the KU040, I'm talking about soft-core controller. The bandwidth is limited by the number of IO pins (what good is a memory controller without access to a memory chip?); SDRAM needs quite a number of signal lines.

What FPGA device are you using? How many memory controllers are on it, what width do they have, and at what frequency are the memory modules operating? What external bandwidth do you actually achieve?

> For the problems I am working with, FPGAs, even the mid-range ones, are far more suitable than the top GPUs.

I believe you, but we're talking about maximum external memory bandwidth, not suitability in general.

> Php7 did nothing like that, that's why the "porting" process was so light.

This is nonsense, PHP 7 contains a long list of backwards-compatibility breaks:

http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.php

If PHP 7.0 didn't break anything, it would have been called 5.7.

The upgrade is easy simply because these breaks do not have as much of an impact as Python's did.

My skeptical take is that US has the Pi day only because acknowledging on that level any more modern scientific discovery wouldn't be so easily politically acceptable. Even Babylonians had an approximation of Pi as 3.125, so it's nothing "modern." And it doesn't question the literal interpretation of the Bible, 6000 years and all that. So let's celebrate that innocent number.

Well, at least, apparently is in the Bible Pi exactly 3. The creationists probably deny that too (1). And there was that famous

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Pi_Bill

Edit:

1) This approach here I even like: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/bibleval.htm Still no cigar, 3.139 is still not more a "final truth" than 3. Both are approximations. You just can't learn scientific or mathematical "truths" out of the Bible. God wasn't all-seeing and all-wise enough to inspire the mention the existence of irrational numbers in the Bible. And I still believe Pi matters in sense of having "its official day" mostly for appearing to the legislators as being uncontroversial enough (irrational numbers, nobody cares, "everybody knows" it's 3.14).
Not sure why you're being downvoted. WebKit actually implements the WHATWG HTML parsing algorithm [1], and so do Trident [2] and Gecko [3].

The W3C HTML 4 spec didn't waste a word on parsing and simply referred to SGML [4], which (for very good reasons) no relevant browser actually implemented. Obviously, browser developers did some crazy/remarkable things before the WHATWG came along, but a lot of credit for today's lenient HTML parsing certainly belongs with the WHATWG.

>That definition doesn't apply any better to the attach/detach functionality of tmux than the window management functionality

It does apply with 100% to what it's meant to be applied: multiplexing terminal IO.

It has nothing to do with "window management". In fact it could also offer no window management at all, except for switching between sessions, which is was what it did initially.

Multiplexing is a well known, precise term, and terminal multiplexing as a technique existed before both tmux and its introduction of tiling (e.g. screen).
It is fairly easy. I have a fairly dumb feature-phone I almost always leave at home unless I want to be reachable away from home. During work hours I work on a computer connected to the Internet, and can be reached quite reliably via e-mail, or via my employer's office phone.

> So, not only do you have to count territory precisely at the end, but throughout the game, and this isn't easy to do in your head.

You don't need to count - you can just play to take as many points as you can.

> Maybe if you are an autistic accountant, that's fun, but not for me. If I have to play a strategic board game, it will be good old chess.

I find it's the opposite. In chess you have to play with constant vigilance, because a single blunder decides the game - even at grandmaster level, something like 60% of games are decided by blunders. In go you can play much more casually, you can take some risks, because a mistake costs one or two points but it doesn't snowball much. So not every move has to be perfect; it's much more possible to recover from mistakes.
Hmm... I remember a while ago when China was bashed for such an attitude. Isn't that just fascinating?
> If your opponent [...] has a search space that is a strict superset of yours, it's "game over, man".

Not necessarily. I think that's what we saw in game 4; that despite AlphaGo having a general advantage in terms of search space, it's still possible for the weaker of two strong-but-imperfect players to 'get lucky' and play a move that the stronger player didn't anticipate or account for.
Except that would be absolutely horrible for everyone, so maybe we should hope that doesn't happen.

> Lee Sedol focuses on territory early on

I get the feeling that this was AlphaGo's strategy in all the games. Unless Sedol presented a game-ending move it was overwhelmingly likely that AlphaGo would back down and focus elsewhere to extend its territory, by making non-aggressive defensive moves. This makes logical sense. During the early game you need to invoke a crystal ball, where during the endgame you can make informed decisions. This was demonstrated particularly well during game 3 where AlphaGo ran away from fights on numerous occasions - "leave me alone to extend my territory."

I must also commend the commentators, especially Redmond, for being so thoroughly informative in unknown waters.
