I love how the discovery that humans are not all the same species has been completely glossed over. Humans are at least three separate genetic lineages (maybe more) comprising of Africans, African and Neanderthal hybrids (all non-Africans), and a third hybrid made up of African/Neanderthals/Denosovians (Melanesians).

Parse Migration Guide for developers
An important distinction the README doesn't really express is that any features like this are tied to the position of the text cursor inside the character grid, not to the position of the mouse (though of course they may accept mouse commands similar to how xterm does). They are GUI-like, but they are the sort of GUI-like things that programs like vim and emacs already emulate all the time.

This isn't realtime rendering, like demoscene demos. It's just faster rendering of a video. I think the webpage is misleading.
If you want to make a critical argument for people to make such a large sacrifice, stop using so much rhetoric. The story of Rosa Parks has been heavily editorialized and she was in fact not the first person to stand up to bus segregation. The first person was Claudette Colvin who refused to give up her seat on the bus March 2nd, 1955, a full 9 months before Rosa Parks [1]. The problem with Claudette Colvin was that she was a pregnant teenager, and the father was a married man.

I am by no means demeaning Rosa Parks. What she did was incredibly brave. I am however pointing out that you are willing to tell other people to sacrifice their jobs by editorializing. That strikes me as immoral, and I believe those at Apple will need to make such a decision honestly and without subterfuge if such a tremendous action is to occur.

Edit: I have 820 karma remaining and will happily throw the rest of it away for this comment, even if not a single one of you post a counter-argument to what I am saying.
The parent-report thing is definitely problematic here. Parents will never say "my child is bad at everything", and will often avoid saysing "my child is good at everything", especially if they have other kids. So they will generally pick one trait the kid is good at, and say he or she is bad at the other one. Usually math (and other school subjects) are much easier to measure, so "social skills" just get thrown around to compensate.

For example, I am very good at math, and have been told my entire life that I'm not "real-life smart" or that I have high IQ but low EQ. But now that I'm older I found that I'm pretty good at emphatizing, understanding and predicting other people reactions.

Then again, quantifying empathy is hard, and I'm pretty sure that parents would often get it wrong even without the bias. Some kids are sad when a character in a book/movie dies, but will never show it.
Yes. Currently, with many bugs of course. :-) But the notty library is an ANSI terminal which implements more escape codes, not some fundamental change to the nature of the terminal.
I use AirVPN, fairly satisfied, the only thing that bothers me is that they affiliate with ipleak.net , which is a website that checks your connection for dns leak among other things. That's great by itself but it's more of a honeypot at this point because the website heavly relies on google scripts so if you happen to have a google normal/evercookie installed in your browser you are instantly identified no matter what VPN you use.
For the record, 97% on canonical test datasets with little recent progress doesn't mean that it's a solved problem. Admittedly, part of the problem is that elementary school POS categories aren't a great model of natural language.

More generally, for true syntax highlighting I think you do need the parse tree, and parsers (as opposed to taggers) definitely aren't at 97%.

Swedish and Norwegian banks have apps that focus on person-to-person transfers. Most of them will let you transfer money by adding your VISA card and using the recipients phone number. Vipps, developed by Norway's largest bank, has gotten 1,5M users in 1 year (approx. 5M are living in Norway). There are complementary apps from other banks and financial institutions as well.

Aren't here any equivalents in the US? Any particular reasons why apps like cash.me don't get adopted?

Yeah I don't think there's anything Apple could do but complete the request. Anything short of that would result in the dissolution of the company through daily fines from the government, which shareholders wouldn't like.

Apple could find someone to pay to complete the task, even if it required a significant raise. Don't suicide over nothing. Apple isn't.

Even if Apple did have to do this to survive, it wouldn't be the end of the tech world, it would just hurt a lot. And it wouldn't make us safer.

Id say, learn about bigO notation rather than assume that it's useless.
It doesn't require a university degree but it really does help, the more people that have an idea of algorithmic performance both regarding memory and CPU resources the sooner we can get away from all these "web-applications" that barely work but still loads a few mb of unnecessary js libraries. Apart from being annoying this also often leads to unoptimized code that causes wastes large quantities of cpu cycles draining the already feeble batteries of our mobile devices..

So please learn about and/or think about the concepts of bigO even if you refuse to use the math's involved.
Thanks :)

Here's the frustrating bit for me though: the FBI going to the courts, getting a court order, and asking for that court order to be executed, is very different from "an authoritarian surveillance regime". It is exact opposite. If the FBI didn't do it this way, what exactly should they do? Whenever they come up against anything that was signed with an AES key, just go "oh well, can't get it"? Today your phone content has that kind of key, what's to stop that being used elsewhere?

I use a VPN to watch San Francisco Giants games on my paid MLB.tv subscription. Even though I am 3+ hours from both SF and LA, and even though I can't get games on cable/broadcast TV, I am in the Dodgers blackout region. Therefore, when my favorite team plays their biggest rival, I need the VPN to watch the game.
Waiting for next season like forever. Hope its not shelved. I was hooked after the pilot. Its a welcome break from the recurring theme that we see in most series now a days. Given our current corrupt and power hungry world situation with disregard for ethics in many government agencies everywhere, this is more or less accurate on what the situation might become, given an AI is in the mix.

Yeah, I find it a bit annoying when people say experts didn't expect computers to win at go for decades. Anyone who'd looked at that graph and extrapolated would have estimated some time around now. And if they didn't look at that stuff they probably were not very expert.

Those say no and are green because they do not log traffic/DNS, which is good. Very simply, green means good and red means bad.
They definitely aren't at 97% but they aren't that bad either. For English they are at around 92% (see for example http://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.04351.pdf) in labelled attachment score (right tag+right label).

If you are interested only in the syntactic tag, not in the structure of the tree, the number is somewhat higher.
Indeed!

The first step of this project was implementing an ANSI terminal, but with an eye toward abstracting ANSI commands into more fundamental building blocks, so that the analogous set of notty commands are already more powerful than ANSI commands (in the sense that actions that would require multiple ANSI commands can be performed in 1 notty command). This is done, excepting for bugs (there are many).

I narrowed down the immediate term goals for radical new features to three: images, a minimal internal line discipline, and dividing the screen into multiple grids. I chose these because the first is a clear differentiator and the other two are very fundamental. Simultaneously, we're working on getting a reasonable terminal off the ground for dogfooding. Once we have that, the next step is writing a curses-like library that takes advantage of notty's features, as well as a shim to run programs written against that library in non-notty terminals. Then we'll have a solid base for adding more features.

As of right now, it is already an ANSI terminal which accepts a cleaner escape sequence and supports 24-bit color, barring bugs.
In India, we have an app called Chillr which eliminates a lot of these inconveniences and numbers. And transfers are instant and account to account.
I don't eat and breathe LaTeX (although I try to use it for any typesetting needs: after a few years in academia it's much faster to do it this way than to open "Word") but the productivity enhancement on writing while forgetting of how it looks and just having to think about how you want it to look and letting the system handle it for you is invaluable.

This is mostly correct. The games actually get a choice about how they want to render
Most games will choose to render at 60fps, the game reports this to the OS and then the headset will know to reproject between each frame, so the game gets plenty of time to get the next actual frame ready.

Some games will do 120fps though, not sure who will pull that off voluntarily though!!!
Why is "defence" not capitalized then? A typo?

You can run at 90, but I think 60 -> 120 will be the common strategy given easier development and ultimately better refresh rate

> I hope someone actually finishes one of these 'next gen' terminals that keep getting abandoned.

I think one thing that hurts other next gen terminals (and indeed, there have been many!) is that they've tended to change the nature of the terminal in totally backward incompatible way. They end up being totally new platforms that are 'terminal inspired,' which means they also need totally new ecosystems. notty is a much less ambitious pivot. Its just an escape protocol that, in theory, any terminal could be extended to accept.

It's really wonderful to see companies looking after their employees like this and taking steps to reduce gender bias, and to improve inclusivity when it comes to benefits.

As an individual who is not likely to ever have children however, I would feel rather jealous of my co-workers who got to take advantage of this benefit. Some sort of clause like: "... when they become a parent ... or when they work for the company for five years without becoming a parent." would help me feel included.

I really don't mean to diminish this awesome perk, it is obviously much more inclusive than the status-quo and I commend Etsy for implementing it!

I want to believe Apple is the one company that respects my privacy. Please, Apple, say your device fits my expectations.

>Register it and label it

I'm sorry, but there's no fucking way I'm registering while the database is still public. Too many crazy people out there. I'm not alone in this stance either, I'd be surprised if for every registered drone/pilot (the pilot gets one number they have to attach to all their craft) there wasn't another unregistered.

Other than the registration and 250g bs, the rest of the regulations for recreational are kind of nanny-ish but seem to be things I wouldn't go looking to do anyway.

Don't even get me started on commercial regulations. Fucking insane.
Hello from China. Lantern https://getlantern.org/ is a fairly reliable free option maade by a non-profit. It's slower that the paid options here, but works well enough for gmail, facebook, etc.

I also appreciated the summary; my question was just about the phrasing. In it's literal usage, it's saying that the article had nothing useful to say: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/tldr.

That clearly wasn't the case here, so I was wondering why the author choose to use it. I realize that meaning has changed over time, but I was wondering what meaning he (and others) intend when it is used.
I wasn't around for the C-explosion but it seems like something that is exacerbated by the current ease and normalization of sharing code.

Make a framework? Post it on github, go to a conference, write some blog posts, get your framework its own conference, ?, profit! (now I'm thinking of that Southpark guitar hero episode but with famo.us as Stan) There's incentive to put out new tools for the producers of those tools.

On the user side it's easier than ever to learn new tech and framework. I'm learning Clojure and in a few weeks I've asked at least five questions about libraries and frameworks on stackoverflow and slack that have been answered by the authors of those tools. It's 3am on a Tuesday/Wednesday and there are still people helping each other out all over the internet, writing how-to blogs, answering Stack questions. As an aside, for all the weird pathologies of this profession and our community I think that's pretty awesome.

My point is that even though the continuing learning burden might be volumetrically much larger, I'm not sure it's significantly more difficult.

I wonder if there have been any attempts to quantify the economic fruits of government-funded research, e.g. by ARPA (especially before being limited to narrowly defense-related projects) or NSF, or research directly undertaken by executive agencies like NASA, etc.

Government-sponsored basic research and scholarship often comes under fire from asshole lawmakers claiming to have the interests of “taxpayers” in mind (cf. e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Fleece_Award, or more recently https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/3293...), but as far as I can tell, such research has been one of the primary drivers of “innovation” and economic growth in the US over the past 70+ years.

First of all, there's no such thing as own server. The trust you are putting into the ISP your "own server" is connected to is exactly the same as the trust you are putting into a VPN provider.

Second, for a lot of people in this world it's a given that their ISP/government is monitoring their traffic. It's vastly better to be potentially spied on by someone abroad then to be certainly spied on by someone who has direct authority over you.

To answer your first question, the most popular use cases for VPN are:

1. Circumventing censorship

2. Circumventing regional content restrictions

3. Hiding your IP while torrenting (note that this is relevant only in the US)

4. Avoiding government surveillance (again, note that US is not the only country in the world, but likely the only one with any meaningful reach outside its borders)

5. Avoiding private surveillance (public wi-fi, etc.)

6. Hiding your IP while engaging in illegal online activities (#3 is a special case of this but it's a vastly larger group so I made it separate)

Note that "weird jurisdictions" can be a significant advantage for cases #3 and #6 (because they are harder to subpoena) as well as #3 (because they don't have retention laws).

Head positional movement is a lot slower than rotational so this is not so bad/noticeable. Especially if the underlying game is rendered at 60hz rather than 30.
The advantage over your own servers is that it's harder to associate your traffic with your identity. The advantage of "weird jurisdiction" is that they won't cooperate with relevant LEA so readily.
