"None of that addresses the critiques of MathML as a bad standard, one that fits poorly with the layout and display of the rest of the web."

I can't but see these as secondary to why MathML isn't supported yet. The current state works already well enough in Firefox, but no one would use it, since why support a single browser? And we've had it working nicely in Chrome before the devs pulled the plug because of lack of manpower. You could try to overrule the cruft from say the upcoming HTML5.1 spec, and find a good alignment with CSS. If it proves annoying or impossible, you could take the process further towards a MathML 4 that offers a CSS-compatible subset, etc. And the W3C Math group could approve of an experimental note much quicker, so that we don't sit around for years waiting for the standardization process.

The web mathematics community is a small one, and most of us have strong opinions on MathML. The way this debate is heading will tear the community in various tinier subfractions and likely continue the "math-on-the web winter" for another decade.

In my eyes, nothing has changed really - we've had browsers silently complicit in ignoring MathML, and a community tiny enough to not be able to move them in any direction. The two important bits for a math-on-the-web developer to have sanity are 1) expose the mathematics content of a page as data (the way we do tables) and 2) do so in a standard cross-browser way. Anything else leads to insane hacks, and tools such as math search engines, clipboards etc. can not be implemented directly.
"If you're interviewing for a job for you, treat it as though you are interviewing them."

This.

"Trust your gut instincts. If something seems "off", run."

This is a much better advice than a list of arbitrary criteria of the quality of the interview process whose correlation with the work environment itself is unknown.
Isn't it against the ToS of Youtube to download videos?
The social benefit out of this is irrefutable. Our criminal justice system can use all the help it can get. Two comments: i) it would be good to include some database support with smart query to allow public defenders across locations to work seamlessly with each other if needed, ii) create a repository for evidences and relevant information for each case.
There will be wrecks (probably unintentional) but why do you think they'll be required to make AI racing mainstream?

I hear this often from people who don't actually watch racing. Yes, wrecks can be spectacular and dangerous, but overall it usually doesn't make a race more interesting. The wreck is over in seconds, the driver usually/hopefully walks away and then there's minutes worth of clean up effort with yellow flags and safety cars afterwards. American broadcasts typically give you ads, but European race broadcasts don't have ads when the race is going on. So you end up watching a bunch of guys with brooms cleaning carbon fiber bits from the track when you could be watching racing instead.

Then there's the cost aspect. For an amateur series like this, the teams can't afford to crash many cars.

Additionally, when there's humans on board there's always the worry about the driver being alright. After seeing a few fatal crashes unfold in live broadcasts, I don't really want to see any more. It puts things into perspective when you realize that these guys risk their lives to provide you with entertainment.

I don't think many "mainstream" racing fans enjoy seeing crashes.
> But it could expose user/site data as any user could access that pk, or just guess at the next sequentially generated pk.

Using a UUID instead of a sequentially rolling integer ID isn't solving your problem, you're just doing security through obscurity. The real solution is implementing real authentication & authorization - not making the key harder to guess.
> There exist plans to use a client/server architecture, delegating window management to your windowing system or favorite terminal multiplexer.

This is from Vis's Github page. It looks like Vis's author thinks the same way as you. And I get it, it's the Unix philosophy. Though the embedded terminal is the single biggest feature I chose Neovim, over Vim. And that's just my opinion.

Will give it a try though, to Vis, and some terminal multiplexer. See if I can make it work.
Always the same argument, and still wrong. It depends 100% on the desirability of the expected result. I have seen a non-IT guy do an incredibly complex serie of super user operations on his PC just to install CS. He was very motivated. But if you asked him to install Chrome in place of IE he would even understand what it meant.

Same: many people still use peer-to-peer software to download movies, mostly porn. I guess it is better now but for a long time you had to do some port forwarding -- yes, port forwarding -- on your home router to get bearable download speed. Nowadays it still seem very difficult to get the proper non English subtitles for movies, but it is very attractive so people do it despite all the "steps".

So, please, let's stop this "Family memebers are below-two-clicks stupid" mantra. It is false. The truths is: they usually do not care enough for the second click. When they do care enough, typing a command line is very feasible.
Well the reason it has a bad ranking is because it isn't accessible to lay people. People might click the link and say "how do I install pip? Whats a PATH variable?" (or even "What's a command line?") and click back to the search page. Google counts that as a vote against that site, hence the bad ranking.
i had a joke with an old friend about interviews...how about we tell them 'i promise i won't screw up as badly as the last guy'
Apart from egregious assholes and dysfunctional relationships (like the mentioned husband and wife teams), there are milder and more "diffuse" kinds of toxic environment.

For example: within the company, IT is a second class citizen compared to production, so as a new developer you would start at the bottom of the bottom with no valid career perspectives.
Low budget, bad offices, low pay, appearance of overwork are clear signs.

For example: aberrant company culture. Excessive secrecy and/or security measures (who do they think they are?), extravagant recreational resources (are they actually working?), excessive luxury (not bad by itself, but you want them to spend that money on your salary), excessive conviviality, etc.

There is a meta-warning sign about company culture: refusal to show working conditions and procedures to you because of conscious "discretion" and subconscious shame.
Also, you could like, accept as normal, or justify because they make sense in context some of the bad attitudes you are aware of, failing to see they are a problem.
Trading firms compete (and are paid to) to make the markets on these products. Any arbitrage opportunity is quickly eaten up.
I work at a small software company, and too often our CEO and company will latch onto nuggets from material like this and use it to justify a "swing for the fences", "nothing ventured nothing gained" sort of mindset. All well and good, but they blithely overlook the "we fail all the time" parts, and sometimes we take risks where the potential losses are not easy to absorb, or we don't have the vast resources of a big company to attempt a thing without impacting our mainline investment. Unfortunately, I've seen first hand that interesting, inspiring ideas can turn cargo cult real quick without some reality to temper them; namely, there are only two scenarios where you can easily justify risk (that is, not sweat over it): 1. You have nothing to lose. 2. You have relatively little to lose.

"Do we really need to manipulate a math expression?"

If you don't, please don't say no one does. Having a math DOM allows for actual interactivity with mathematics, from highlighting, copying subtrees, embedding links, having on the fly computations/simplifications, etc.

Not to mention add-on services like math indexing and search.

Yes, we need to manipulate and machine-read math expressions, if we want to finally take online math workflows to the 21st century.
That was my argument back when they passed the thing (17 year old me argument). You can do either of two things. Either limit property tax increases on a retired persons primary residence. Or allow retired people accept a tax lien in lieu of taxes.

I'm working my way through that at the moment and so far it's pitched rather well (at least for my prior experience), describing things simply and concisely but still with enough background that it's easy enough to see where everything fits.
The main thing Go and Erlang share is their approach to concurrency: write synchronous code using lightweight processes, instead of writing asynchronous code with callbacks/promises/futures/etc. The main difference is the the fault tolerance Erlang brings (thanks to immutability and absence of memory sharing).
> i wouldn't go below 400. it's just too small...

This is pretty amusing to me in Japan, where 400 square feet is pretty far above the UPPER limit of a usual apartment for a single person. I guess that shows how culture/environment can change perception. :)

I would go so far as to say that a lot of single people live in apartments that are closer to 200-250 square feet here and that 400+ is seen as extravagant. I live in a 600 square foot apartment and people are always blown away and ask what I do with all the extra space; my apartment is intended for a family with kids.
Definitely a bug. I just sent Dan an email to point him at this thread. (So there's no need for everybody else to fill his inbox as well.)
I don't think a plugin could have caused this but we never know...

Nonetheless, it highlights very fragile nature of third party plugins. May be Wordpress ought to run some kind of certification program to analyze and certify plugins.
Expanding on this:

Cholesterol is a key culprit in atherosclerosis, not just a marker. It accumulates in the walls of blood vessels in the form of fibro-fatty plaques that are responsible for angina, infarctus, stroke etc.

The reason why it accumulates has not been completely elucidated (related to endothelium stress, caused by toxins like tobacco and bacteria that break in into the blood because of gingivitis).

The higher the level of cholesterol (especially LDL [†]) in the blood, the more plaque forms and the more one is at risk of consequences (plaque formation is rate-limited by cholesterolemia (blood cholesterol levels)).

Cholesterolemia in physiological conditions is independent of intake. If the body is in demand, the liver will synthetise cholesterol de novo in the absence of dieatary intake.

I don't think we know at this point what drives the demand, but we've developed drugs that work well on the innner supply end, namely statins, that block the production of cholesterol by the liver. They are, however, ineffective if you eat boatloads of cholesterol.

† Recent findings seem to show that HDL is not in itself protective, and that high levels of HDL (that are correlated with fewer complications) may be a passive marker of another protective process.
Rocketgraph: The Marketplace for Analytics
Yeah, D24S8 is the typical depth-stencil buffer format. That's also the most common format to have in your "default" framebuffer in OpenGL apps, but in this case there might be some WebGL-specific limitations that the author wants to avoid.

WebGL is still based on GLES 2.0 and if you go by the book, you probably need to account for a 16 bit D16 depth buffer without a stencil present. That's probably not a very common case in practice (except old mobiles), though....
Wow I wasn't aware of this! Just looked it up. In Ancient Greek city-states, "agora" was the central square where they'd gather for important discussions. I really like the name and would hate to give it up.

I will have to understand all of the implications of having the same name as that of a major marketplace from the deep web. This is pretty shocking to me.

Might depend on how you build the nodes. If you build all the nodes and then append it should be a lot faster. Maybe browsers have optimized for this use case better but I ran benchmarks on this a couple of years ago and createElement / appendChild was always a lot faster.
The single best way is to have a quick off the record chat with someone who works there or has worked there recently in a similar role.

Well, not entirely. Imagine a perfect replica of Rembrandt's brain connected to an artificial body, a painting produced by this machine would be a Rembrandt.

Now imagine reducing the correlation between the artificial brain and Rembrandt's brain until you reach the level of correlation to that of the machine described in the article. There will be a precise point where the paintings produced by the device will stop being Rembrandt's.

That is not to say that this machine is producing Rembrandt's. I am only saying that your reasoning is too simplistic.

I don't mean copying a specific painting, but creating something that looks to human experts like a previously undiscovered Rembrandt. This would be a lot more impressive than creating something that fools a particular statistical algorithm.

Is it you who is defining the legitimacy here ? Let's not ask questions that would lead to proving something like
x^n + y^n = z, only when n = 2. In order to show this is true you have to show it is not true for all n up to infinity. Quite a rabbit-hole and difficult. Has been done, but is this truly worth it in an interview ?

You should feel bad for being one of those who would end up dragging interview process to hell.
All I can do is guess, but if you go to their home page take a look at the sidebar. That's a pretty impressive range of services. You can manage your email, buy stuff, check the news, see what's on TV, check the weather. It's AOL but on the web and for non-technical people having one place where you can do everything is probably pretty attractive. Especially if it came set as their web browser home page and they don't know how to change it or create bookmarks.

That's not a long term sustainable business though, as the non-tech savvy oldsters in the population get replaced by youngsters that mainly use mobile devices and apps anyway. I think Cringeley has a point. Yahoo should slim down and use it's remaining financial weight to turn itself into a tech industry specialised version of Berkshire Hathaway. Copy Google's corporate structure and hive off the portal into a subsidiary of a holding company that focuses on managing investments.

Amazon Names Retail and Cloud Computing Heads as CEOs
I've been working on a windows app to pull data in tables from PDF files into Excel http://www.3xfour.com I am a financial analyst in my day job and spend a lot of time pulling data out of annual reports and investor presentations into financial models, so it mainly focused on solving that use case for myself. Previous solutions exist but its a hard problem to get 100% right, I still have a way to go.
The more interesting part is to be able to automatically populate missing data in an Excel table that comes from a PDF, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYzN_elbjWo

yes, they do.
I think that this article failes to see the main problem, which is the failiure to protect your data from your CMS. Sure, I run wordpress on my VPS, but my VPS has NO access to my data. My VPS is UNTRUSTED!

-----

One thing that is problematic with the untrusted model, is that I also run my mail server on my VPS. Email is insecure, it is unencrypted as it travels through the internet. Unfortunately, I cannot do much about that fact. I should however, be worying more about separating my email server from my wordpress installation than about making sure that my wordpress has no security flaws. OF COURSE the wordpress could be hacked, even though I always install updates on time!
Or if you can connect your phone to your pc and copy the data over the cellular network. I currently have mine connected in order to charge it. I presume many people do. I know of people working in BANKS who do.
Agree with everything you said. I will add DPD in addition to Royal Mail - first, you can track the delivery van on a map, in real time. Second, you can text DPD in-flight and ask them to deliver to a local pick-up location instead of your home address. And most of all yes, shopping online with John Lewis is amazing. Their products are quality, and their service is awesome. Amazon, in comparison, is a £ shop.
I think just clicking the link and then clicking a different link counts against the first link. It probably doesn't matter if you actually use the back button or not.

I don't know how they account for people clicking multiple links in new tabs. My guess is they reorder links sometimes so that users that click multiple links cancel each other out. They just try to maximize the probability you will click on a link and not come back to the search page.

youtube-dl is great. It belongs to a class of software, that could not exists without a place like github (or any platform, that makes it easy to contribute).

Hi vit05, thanks for your comment, I will try to explain why Forum is very different from Reddit.

actually most social networks (Reddit, Twitter, Facebook...) offer more or less the same functionalities (post content, comment/like content, follow people, chat, create groups, search content...). It is ofen hard to explain the difference between those three, but once one try each once, the differences appear to be obvious. And it is all about the experience and how those functionalities interact with each other.

Forum proposes the same functionalities than those social networks but differentiates itself by the way those functionalities are assembled together. I would be very thankful if you can give a try to the app or have a look on the few articles I wrote about this project : https://medium.com/the-genesis-of-forum maybe you will see that it is very different from Reddit.

--------------

One thing about the experience of Forum is that it aims to be a publishing platform like Medium, where you can published long stories, simply by posting 'thoughts' (or comments) successively. Even if you can do that on Reddit, the UX between a Medium Story and a Reddit long post is definitly not the same. Forum aims to provide the UX experience of a Medium Post in a more "mingle" way.

A second thing is: Imagine you can read other's people chat between 2 peoples not in a "comment" UX way but in a "messaging" way like Whatsapp, Messenger, Telegram, Kik... While Reddit doesn't provide this experience, Forum provides it.

Hope this is helpful
