I understand that it's difficult for people not experienced with machine learning to tell what problems are actually suited for what models, but using deep learning / Tensorflow for this is like using Hadoop to sort a 10 megabyte file of numbers. Or writing a new Ruby on Rails app and deploying to AWS in order to create a survey for a class project.

Plain ol' statistics, plotting, and some hand rolled features (this is bascially "data science") is probably the best fit for this problem, especially since it doesn't seem to me like this would be a massive dataset.
Maven Central (java) is like that. So far not much problems.

Now I'm seriously wondering if npm is a goldmine for GPL infringement. If someone has an insane dependency tree with 1000 entries then there is bound to be at least some GPL in there forcing everything else to be GPL too.
Why not create one big package that's a lib? Call it "batteries".

In fact, it already exists: Jquery.
If Intel was the leader of the ARM mobile gang, TSMC would have been denied a lot of money and maybe even couldn't compete with Intel, Quallcom wouldn't have so strong and posed a possible future threat to Intel, and maybe Apple would have been dependent on Intel(due to better process), enabling Intel to get decent margins, And Intel would have been in a better position to influence the Android market towards Atom or some close extension of the ARM.
...I don't. That's sort of my point. Both sides of a debate have the same responsibility to be reasonable, whatever that level of responsibility may be, whether it's a formal debate or just tossing ideas around.
There is a similar no queue technology in the UK. It's been quite successful.

From my understanding, NICTA's proofs are basically algorithms to show that Haskell models and C code is equivalent. They can then go on to do proofs with their Haskell models.
funny thing, but assuming that kik is related to kik.com

if you look here http://dev.kik.com/build/, they promote their own server eg. "Our open source web server Zerver can help serve your cache manifest properly, as well as doing other speed boosting stuff like automatic style inlining."

this Zerver is on github and build with npm

https://github.com/jairajs89/zerver/blob/master/package.json

I did not run the build but I'm pretty sure that now their server is not building anymore as it depends on babel

call that irony ;) ?

One thing i wonder about: iPhone sells on status, for example in china. Would people compromise on something as critical as screen size for status ? Can a small sized screen project status well, even if it's understandable socially that bigger is better ?
Probably because it was designed by a writer, for use by writers as-is, inspired by existing plain-text email conventions.

Other light markup formats were designed by programmers, primarily for computer consumption, with readability by humans as a secondary goal.
"used to forward", from what I understand this has been fixed.
Right, but that administration already exists for social payments, except the majority of the administration is in the gatekeeping side: Making sure that the people who are claiming are entitled to it. Remove that administration and you make large savings.
OSVR – Open-Source Virtual Reality for Gaming
What I want is outputting an image from a remote server onto my terminal, or ending a pipe with feeding the output from "uniq -c" or something to a script creating an inline graph etc.

The page focuses on showing the limits of it, but there are lots of small little cases where being able to output graphics to the terminal in otherwise predominantly textual applications is great, but not great enough to justify a more complicated solution.

I am often disappointed with Nautilus. I find it tends to tout lofty or revolutionary ideas, and frosts them with intellectual prose, but underneath the article is surprisingly vague, content-free, and/or unscientific.
Why is this always being brought up? It's transparently communicated on the Tor website and they have a bunch of blog posts explaining how things are and that they'd obviously prefer for it to not be that way.

Exactly--there's a great bug thread on the Atom text editor where they laboriously dug through hundreds and perhaps even thousands of dependencies to see if any had licenses that were incompatible with theirs. It looked like a complete nightmare and you can see the end result if you go to the View License menu in the editor--it's hundreds of little licenses.
Google's Project-Zero https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Zero_(Google) is absolutely excellent! Google task top-notch engineers to find zero-day bugs in other company's products, making us all safer.

Very big kudos to Google! The flood of bugs they keep finding and getting other companies to fix is fantastic!
Taking it a bit further: npm is worthless without useful modules being published. So it stands to reason that module authors should be cautious because the company that runs it clearly won't push back.

I would say that sans a cease and desist, if not a court order, they shouldn't have done anything at all. Certainly shouldn't have turned over the name to them. Better missing and breaking builds then being controlled by someone with completely different intentions.

In what way? Photographers work hard to make a living, and we've seen many cases of businesses (we only pursue businesses) knowingly profiting from photographers' work, and then in turn tell the photographers to go take a hike.

Here's a perspective on image theft from one of our photographers:
https://www.pixsy.com/pay-up-for-the-photo-you-stole/

I don't see how helping a photographer obtain compensation for a stolen photo is any different from helping an airline passenger collect compensation.
This can be avoided by optimizing for the simplest code that works. Checking many cases in multiple lines is always going to be longer and more complex than just a single operation on a single line.

Which is how AIs avoid overfitting, in general, by penalizing complexity.
Because there's no version control that way. If I depended upon babel/babel (or whatever it's called on Github), when it changed from v5.x to v6.x, it would have broken my build.

That was probably the one thing I hated the most in Solaris. We would have various platforms linked up together via NIS, which was synced against our Windows 2000 domain controller (I know, sounds horrible. But it did work surprisingly well in its day). For all the jokes about Windows security, even that supported longer passwords. And users did occasionally notice when logging into Solaris eg when they accidentally typoed as they hit enter. All I could say was "yes, I know it seems dumb. It's Solaris and we can't do much about that."
I had my suspicions that this was all motivated by wanting to grab the npm package name "kik" and the fact that they use node and npm almost cements that for me. I have a feeling this was never about protecting trademarks at all.

It might be wise for distributors to kick in some cash, but Gwyther uses the term "precedent" overbroadly in his gofundme video.

If he were to settle, there would be no precedent set. And even if he went to trial and lost, other District Courts would not be bound by the determination in the Gwyther case. This would only be considered as "persuasive precedent", which courts ignore all the time (see, e.g., every circuit split ever).

To be clear, I agree completely that they should band together to nip this in the bud. But this is only for practical reasons—not legal ones.
One relatively straightforward path is to apply for an E-2 visa.
You don't get any prepublish hook when pushing to a git repository though, so you can't do things like preprocess with babel, typescript, etc, unless you check in the compiled source.
I assume they're talking about the kik module.
For a library yes, but if you're writing software you absolutely must. npm actually deduplicates and flattens your dependencies to reduce clutter.
I agree on the section definitions. It's very hard to remember which underline I need to use because every project (or even document) can just define their own order implicitly. The sphinx project recommends a specific order somewhere in their documentation that I look up every time I need to write rst, but markdowns just-count-the-hashes is much easier.

My guess is that they're trying to avoid people who've acquired a list of email addresses being able to trivially work out which of those addresses have Uber accounts. With that information one could target only those accounts with phishing attacks and the like with potentially fewer people flagging those emails as suspicious.

You can change stuff without flushing the current contents, but previous contents may leave a weak trace when you do so. It's why Kindles have a setting to flush the screen every three pages or something; a decent compromise between ghosting and refresh rate.
If Function of Beauty's product is even 1/4th as good as their customer service was - I can see them doing very well.

I saw their thread a while back and was looking to buy new hair product anyway - so went with them since what they're selling is about the same cost as what I was buying anyways.

First things first, I purposefully broke their form when it asked me for my name (entered some Japanese). It was a small matter, but that's what made it stand out to me. They could have just left it blank or went with the name they had on file for me but instead they emailed me asking what the name should be.

Then they messaged me on a Saturday to clarify one of my "goals" since it was contradicting my "hair profile". Slightly bigger matter to have my catered formula you know... actually catered to my hair and goals. Again, they could have just took my submission at its word rather than clarify with me but they chose to reach out.

If the product itself is good, they've already won me over.
And artificially delay the release of a finished product? Why should that be a good idea?

Additionally, according to Steam and GoG the Mac version is available already.

I think people are going to take it in baby steps. There are a lot of advantages to simply owning a car. If you aren't in a dense city, they vastly outweigh the hassles inherent in any type of non-owned transportation.

People really are short on time. Waiting for the vehicle and even having to stand outside aren't great - you may even have to worry a bit more about the clothes you're wearing in the heat or cold. It's the little taxes on everything.

Plus whenever you share a ride, someone's going to have to take a detour of some distance.

Fair point. Although I still feel the way we value startups (at the last funding event) warps decision making greatly. The person I knew did this with a company about 6 months before they raised their next round. So the company was valued at around $15m for 2.5 years, person invests, then BAM company valued at $45m on year 3 6 months later. And I think if you're in a company that is really going to make it you know. Especially if you've been in startups for a while.
As an almost complete beginner how would I get to the point of being able to consistently find security issues where they exist? I've got enough experience as a developer to avoid the most common vulnerabilities, but I don't really know how I'd go about approaching things from the other direction to surface potentially undiscovered issues.
My personal, anecdotal, highly limited experience of judges is that their particular skill is to cut through technical complexity and fit it to the law. They are briefed by technical experts if there are facets of a case that they cannot reasonably be expected to grok.

There are of course pros and cons to this.

One con of a technical expert being a "judge" is that they cannot see the wood for the trees. Actual judges should, ideally, avoid this situation. Mileage varies, obviously.
None-- all of them seem too temporal, nothing really ground breaking or innovative.
I highly doubt if most continuous build/delivery systems actually have a person looking at the build output to take some action. That’s why, centralized build systems should not just let the packages disappear but unfortunately that’s not the reality. This is also the reason why there are languages like Go out there that do not rely on centralized package management.
But they were only going to raise them for options worth more than $100k right? Other than people "winning the lottery", and C-level staff, how many startup employees would be affected by this? My understanding is that comp packages above $100k are much rarer in Canada than in the US?

Shouldn't it be text/plain? I would've though that a specific mime-type defeats the format's original purpose.
Like pnt12 I don't use much of my holiday time for traditional holidays, but I do tend to take the time off. Some of it will go on simply needing to do things like take my son to a doctor's appointment or other errands, but I've also taken time off to move house, play a new game on release day, and once I took a week off to make some progress on a side project. Having a decent amount of holiday time is great for that sort of thing.
I've seen many people claim choline has nootropic effects (i.e. that supplementing it is good for cognition), so this doesn't seem surprising.

Package signing by the package's author /is/ the solution, right? This way the only entity that can publish a valid update is the the package author. This still has the problem of bootstrapping the trust relationship, and leaves the door open to the author publishing a malicious but signed package or the signing key being stolen and used to do the same. However if you don't trust the package author to be responsible or take precautions against the keys being stolen then you're essentially taking on the burden of implementing of your required functionality.

I mainly use the small Apple keyboards, which are the OADG 109 key layout minus the numpad.

Symbols are in different places compared to overseas keyboards (@ is to the right of P and doesn't require pressing shift, and ctrl and caps lock are swapped). It's not a problem except with old or lazy apps that expect them to be in a certain places, like my DOOM3 example.

There are a bunch of different Japanese layouts actually, a Japanese company makes keyboards with blank caps so you can use which ever one you like:

There is kana input, but I have yet to meet someone who uses that instead of an IME. I see a lot of people using it on their phones, though.
And the endless list of risk reducing stuff like this (and not just in IT either) is exactly why big companies are slow. Big corps need figure out how to create small disconnected divisions instead of consolidating common services for cost savings. If one of your tiny divisions gets hacked it doesn't take down the rest unless your all on the same systems burdened by the same laundry list of security and policies.

This is not true at the seed stage. The back one player per domain rule is something usually only followed at series A and beyond. a16z, for example, does not have a policy of only backing one player at the seed stage. In fact, they scaled back seed investing years ago because despite this stated policy people still had this misconception.

The interesting part would be how much such a service would cost: bringing together people with "problems" and "hitmans" for an airbnb-like network/arbitrage model. Or could prices be crowdsourced, so e.g. a few houndred people collect the money to "justify" trump once and for all? Would it be that immoral to prevent all the damage he will do? Interesting questions.

You should definitely try Pollock. It's a bit rough, and the code is messy and hard to understand - but very powerful.
No, you just publish a new release with a suitable semantic version number. The point of the blockchain is immutability of each release, not limiting a package to only ever exist as a single release.

My first thought is: so now I am relying on a company that basicly provides me free services for security audits of other companies, some of which I pay for the services they deliver.

Is there an indication of the complexity of the bugs they are finding? Are they among those that should be caught be QA?
the way we value startups (at the last funding event)

That may be how you value startups, but I guarantee you that if the CRA looks closely it's not how they would value the shares on the eve of a deal which values the shares much higher.
I realize you're trying to mock me, but you've totally failed because that's exactly my point. If your interview process consisted of a 6 month work trial period for every single candidate (and assuming no candidates dropped out), you would pretty much be able to detect nearly every single qualified person. Of course, this is not feasible in practice, so we settle for interviews.
Gwern's fantastic essay, Terrorism is not Effective: http://www.gwern.net/Terrorism%20is%20not%20Effective

>No terrorist group has achieved a kill rate anywhere near a conventional military; and are vastly less than those death tolls for guerrilla organizations or dictators. Stalin or Mao could, in a bad day, exceed the deaths caused by all international terrorism over the last 2 centuries. 9/11, the crowning incident of terrorism in those centuries, was equaled by just 29 days of car accidents in the USA - and 9/11 was only accidentally that successful! 9/11 is also a sterling example of the availability bias: besides it, how many attacks could the best informed Western citizen name? Perhaps a score, on a good day, if they have a good memory; inasmuch as the MIPT database records >19,000 just 1968-2004, it’s clear that terrifyingly exceptional terrorist attacks are just that. Remarkably, it seems that it is unusual for terrorist attacks to injure even a single person; the MIPT database puts the number of such attacks at 35% of all attacks. Certainly the post-9/11 record would seem to indicate it was a fluke... Many terrorist organizations keep very detailed financial records (consider the troves of data seized from Al-Qaeda-in-Iraq, from Bin Laden’s safehouse, or Al Qaeda’s insistence on receipts), with little trust of underlings, suggesting far less ideological devotion than commonly believed & serious principal-agent problems. Stories about terrorist incompetence are legion and the topic is now played for laughs (eg. the 2010 movie Four Lions), prompting columnists to tell us to ignore all the incompetence and continue to be afraid.
