Right, recording non-proscenium theater plays would be interesting contents. I like to watch (and often perform) round- or three-sided stages in a small theater. That kind of shows are difficult to capture in traditional camera for it loses the feeling of space surrounding audience.

Well funnily enough I started back at what a matrix really is. What does it mean to multiply them, add them, invert them and so on. The first good resource I used was Better Explained! I also took out some Linear Algebra text books from the library. First was Linear Algebra for Dummies (don't knock it!) and then an undergraduate text book. I've still a ways to go but it was a good start.

>When an author writes a book, they consider every word they put in. Every word has meaning and a reason for being there.

I think that's true of authors writing poetry and some authors of novels such as Gustave Flaubert[1]. He spent years refining the same sentences over and over for a single novel.

However, a lot of authors' output has a lot of fluff and fat and the final novel's sentences are hardly more polished than a 1st draft "brain dump". A lot of thrillers and mysteries sold at airport bookstores could be characterized like this. However, it's fine because the plot was interesting and readers will forgive a lot of flabby sentences they had to slog through. Some authors really "craft" their sentences. Some authors don't.[2]

I think readers, as they read certain authors... implicitly perceive if... Each. Word. Is. Really. Important. ... and therefore, slow down to digest it as necessary.

E.g., I would read Flaubert slowly but read Charles Dickens quickly. It gets more complicated with non-English writers like Flaubert because there would be 2 layers of word choices happening: it's Flaubert's French word choices and then the English translator's choices.

Dickens, on the other hand, wrote to a schedule of installments. Even though he didn't literally get "paid by the word count", he did have to fill out a set number of pages each month and the quality of writing is uneven.

[1]Flaubert believed in, and pursued, the principle of finding "le mot juste" ("the right word"), --from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustave_Flaubert#Perfectionist...

GCC changed their system for numbering versions with version 5.

GCC 4.9.X [1] was the stable branch first released on 2014-04-22 with latest patch 4.9.4 released on 2015-06-26.

GCC 5.X is the next stable branch first released exactly a year after 4.9 on 2015-04-22 with latest patch 5.3 released on 2015-12-04.

LLVM 3.5 [2] was released on 2014-09-03, latest patch 3.5.2 was released on 2015-04-02.

LLVM 3.6 was released on 2015-02-27, latest patch 3.6.2 was released on 2015-07-16.

LLVM 3.7 was released on 2015-09-01, latest patch 3.7.1 was released on 2016-06-05.

6 months before the 2016-03-29 release of OpenBSD 5.9, i.e. at the end of September of 2015, GCC 5.2 was the stable version, not GCC 4.9.3, but they chose GCC 4.9.3. LLVM 3.7 was the stable release, but they chose 3.5 (I hope it's 3.5.2 though it doesn't say).

So, OpenBSD's compilers are the stable branch from ~14 months before the release, with relevant updates applied. Not Debian, but not Arch either.

how do you know if its podcast or just an article?
All news sites carry a bias - all of them.

A little off-topic, is there a name for this kind of rhetoric? I've seen it used a lot, for example:

- When pointed to government corruption they would reply "all the other governments have corruption too", implying there's no difference.

- When asked about low level of life, they would reply something like "15% of your own people are living below the poverty line", implying nothing out of normal is going on.

It's like, one guy has his boot covered in shit and the second is covered in it fully, the first says "you have problem of being in shit" and the second responds "you have that problem too (pointing to his boot) so it's ok".

This argument basically implies something like "we must not discriminate on the grounds of this problem because it is normal for everyone to have it", avoiding the possibly disadvantageous discussion of what is level of the problem and whether this level is normal.
As an antidote to this echo chamber effect, I invite proselytizers to discuss their ideas in a non-proselytizing way, so that we can meet on common ground instead of assuming vague terms like "divine" etc. If we can't get to that point, it's just one echo chamber talking to another.

That's not a movie-like experience. That is just a plain old movie.
I agree! that's why I included the other filters as well. A good podcast is still valuable a long time after creation/recording, unlike a news article..

No corporate acts for the greater good. That would be at odds with their legal requirement to act for their shareholders first.

Microsoft has simply discovered that a previous business strategy - monopolistic embrace, extend and extinguish-is no longer a good one in today's open, networked world. Hence they have moved to new strategies which are more palatable to the tech community. Slightly late, but still in time to remain relevant.
Exactly that.

I edited a news-stand magazine for six years using TextEdit. My job was the words, and TextEdit did that fine.

25 % of all Voices go to the Economics, but they have to "vote" for this- in secrecy, meaning, they pay taxes, and the amount of taxes determinate the share they hold on there part of the power.

I don't see the point of this article.

In group and out group is just a conceptualization of competition. That's how we improve ourselves and how we evolved. It's the basis of capitalism and so many other things.

I have no trouble "extending equal compassion to foreign earthquake victims and hurricane victims in our own country". I might not donate equally but that's not a proper measure of empathy. There is no accurate measure for that. The scientists of Nautilus will never understand that because they've been trained to only publish things based on collected data.

I was born in the mid-60s and my memories go back to 1970 when I first helped 'dress' the seed corn (wheat and barley). My grandfather was using much the same process when he began farming around 1910.

Seed wheat, barley, potatoes and oil-seed rape (Canola) are still produced using the same breeding process we've used for several generations, but with the added benefit of having very much more accurate technical support for measuring the benefits (or lack thereof) of new strains.

Hybrid seeds through selective breeding is something very different from a single human-engineered genetic intervention.
I'm running a vanilla minecraft server for 4-6 people on the Raspberry Pi 3 and it runs beautifully, never had any problems. Pi2 was a bit slow at times, but the latest Pi3 has enough horsepower to support that many people without a problem. So really, setting up a minecraft server costs $30 for the Pi + $10 for the sd card. At 5W power usage it can stay on all the time.

While I find Atom really nice, and having growing sympathies for it, it definitely feels sluggish compared to Sublime. It is that 0.3-0.7 seconds that make a difference when we are talking about day to day tool usages.

I am a bit turned off by VSCode, it's workflow by the looks of it feel strange to me. Yes I've tried it, yes it was in beta, but right now I am having only Vim on my Mac. Uninstalled Atom this morning, got a little bit frustrated.

It just feels like a web app, I mean it basically is. And when I dragged it to AppCleaner, it is so heavy, 260MB+.

I want GitHub to stream line it. If other were able (look at VSCode for example) that GitHub can. That things leaks memory very now and then. Sublime feels rock solid and blazingly fast compared to Atom, and there you see the difference between native and web. Those fractions of seconds are important when you have app like text editor, especially if used by developers and geeks. :)

I like this, but I think it needs a little more emphasis on the UX of what you are going to listen to and for how long. Perhaps even embed the player under the link?

How about a play count as a measure of popularity instead of just discussions? HN works because it abstracts user behaviour to a points score.
That's a great article, thanks! I feel like I understand the tradeoffs between voting methods much better now.
Online dating drastically simplifies the idea and practice of courtship. It then overly exaggerates the dating pool, and allows people to superficially skip through everyone that doesn't overwhelmingly appeal to them. As such, two people never really get to know each other, and discover if they are compatible. It has been said elsewhere, and would appreciate the source, that 20 years ago, the majority of people who are married would have never even dated had online dating been around at the time.

From what I have seen, many people use the Eclipse IDE and with that Java is the "natural" choice.

Agree with @coreyp_1, far too many courses at university focus on Java. Years ago Java was seen as being more "portable" than C or C++ and better able to support OOP - so Java was chosen and taught widely. With all the books and supporting material it is easier to stick with it. Also industry seems to still favour Java. For example, IBM uses Java and Eclipse widely.

All these things get gamed. If you don't know something about your supplier, its probably getting gamed.

My Sister sells chocolate. She gets it from Winan's from Ohio. Knows the supplier folk; visits the place they make all the stuff. Knows their supplier. They get chocolate in liquid form from their plantation in Nicaragua. Folks there grow it, process it and ship the liquor to Ohio. So verified fair trade.

Also, its healthier. Imported beans (like everybody else) have to be fumigated upon import. Agricultural product. But the liquor is a finished product; no fumigation! SO that makes some people happier.

Anway she only knows all this (and trusts it) because she knows the Winans personally, and visits the plant regularly.
I disagree, the chances of one member of Congress pushing through legislation or raising an issue a Knouff for a constituent, is so overwhelmingly difficult, that it's pointless. And lobbyist gathers multiple members of Congress, educating and building a coalition, because that client elected official has to balance the request with all the other constituent request. It's simply not possible.

How ESPN Should Approach Drone Racing
It’s true that the traditional TV is winding down. Not the big screens though. Whether at home or in a theater, we love our big screens. And it’s also true that the small drones moving at high speed do not provide for much of live viewing excitement. But it doesn't mean that people shouldn't come together in a celebration of the event. Small size of the drones enables the whole race to be fitted in a stadium, and it often is. They key is then to sell out the whole stadium with a race within stadium premises, without tremendous cost or danger to the audience, yet full of unforgettable fun and excitement.
And there is a way. IMAX-grade screens in a dome arrangement at the center of the stadium, well viewable even from the furthest seats, projecting multiple views of the racing drone action, bird’s eye overview and telemetry, on board cameras, and even the kissing cam, in a mathematical arrangement of sub-screens which enable to follow live action from any of the seats, accompanied by a professional commentary from a stadium-wide sound system, orchestrated by a single team of professional commentators, video directors, editors, technicians, and all the existing resources ESPN has today, protecting the existing investments.
And because of drone size, the action is just a few inches of the acrylic glass away. Within transparent safety containment between the big screens and the audience, all the racing action ensues at the interweaving racetrack full of obstacles, power ups, traps, and disruptions. Wind accelerators providing massive boosts in speed at the cost of increased risk. Electromagnetic disruptions blocking the control signal requiring artificial intelligent controls on board the drone to take over. Because of low cost and low barrier to entry, anything goes, combining the best of Speed Racer, Mario Kart, Formula 1, Red Bull Air Racing, all in one unsurpassed stadium experience crowded with fans and community members, at astronomical excitement/cost ratio.
Not to sound overly critical, but I don't enjoy the tone of this paper: presenting the concepts (e.g. graph operations) and features (e.g. automatic differentiation) of TensorFlow as new and novel when in fact very similar systems like Theano have existed since at least 2010 (which they finally get round to mentioning 14 pages in). They really should have shorn the paper in half and just focused on the distributed bit, which is the really novel and exciting bit.

Addendum/Edit: With that said, I don't want to disparage the amazing technical achievement of the Google Brain team and the way TensorFlow really smartly reuses and improves on the concepts that make Theano really powerful. I'm following the project very closely and TensorFlow has a very high chance of being the foundation for my future projects :)
I think that as it gets harder to change a constitution, judicial workarounds will become more frequent. This then causes more anger around not following the written law in the general population. Since the founders are Gods who wrote the Constitution, defying this law is heresy. Political evolution is slow until the next big court case.

At the other end of the spectrum it's so easy to change that your rights can be removed in any old vote. Political evolution occurs at a faster pace.

I'd like different levels of review for certain pieces of the puzzle. Editing the first amendment? 3/4 of all states seems fair. Giving DC voting rights? Maybe a lower bar is appropriate, but not quite an up or down vote level.
Where does it say that its automatic differentiation feature is new and novel? It actually calls out Theano in the paper:

"Like Theano and Chainer, TensorFlow supports symbolic differentiation, thus making it easier to define and work with gradient based optimization algorithms."

EDIT: Okay, I see that you already saw the reference. I guess I didn't find the tone as bad as you did. :-/
And copyright and patents were introduced to foster creation and publishing of new works. Why do you think patents are public once filed? By having a copyright system, creators were encouraged to create and publish more, knowing they could reap the benefits for a reasonable time, while allowing others to reuse it under well-defined terms.

I'm not sure anyone can say they truly empathize with anything. When you put yourself first, you immediately are not fully empathizing with everything.

Rather, I'd say I have a healthy respect for all living beings.

I can smack a mosquito and respect it was doing what it needed to survive, while also putting myself first in my desire to not catch dengue fever.

Life and death are natural. Empathy may not be complete unless you're willing to sacrifice yourself. Respect may or may not be limited to humans.

Yup. It's not clear from there whether they'd be able to call emergency services somewhere else, but it's implied not (they mention getting a local number to call from).

Even if they could, you could still check whether their phone can call your emergency services directly.
why has this not been released for more sites, devices, and other stuff? what is keeping company's from adding similar features to protect there customers any ideas?
>> “An adult mentor opens up these new worlds that wouldn’t be open to them,” she adds. Of course, critics might worry about kids interacting with adults online in this way, but as Ito notes, when there’s a productive task at hand, it’s similar to how guilds have passed on knowledge for ages: knowledgeable adults mentoring young people.

Kids can't interact with adults online? What has this world come to?
I haven't seen comments from a lobbyist yet. I was a lobbyist in Washington for many years, both for small companies and nonprofits. My job was to work with my clients elected official, to educate other members of Congress, raise the profile of the issue, and do all of the heavy lifting and work that the elected official can't or won't do.

There are 535 members of Congress. Unless it's the President, the chances of one elected official pushing through the needs of their constituents is extremely difficult.

Lobbyists fill the gap by educating congressional staff, piercing the bubble that congress lives in, and providing expertise on issues that the staff may not have. I have never given a campaign donation, I have never paid for anything for an elected official or their staff. It makes things difficult sometimes, because most members of Congress won't return your calls unless you've given at some point. But I believe that's the ethical way to work.

tl;dr: Lobbyists are paid educators and mouthpieces, for people, corporations, and organizations that can't afford to be in Washington all the time, to make sure that their issue is heard and considered by the widest audience possible.

However, divorce rates have dropped in recent years and are lower than 20 years ago: http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2010/jan/28/divorce...

Could it be that by being more picky, we give ourselves a better chance of staying together?

EDIT: I found a more recent one with a relative rate vs. marriages: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/12011714/Divorce-rate...

It may be that, as the article suggests, the decrease in % divorce rates has dropped partly due to the increase in social acceptability of cohabitation, allowing couples to try it out before getting married.

Nevertheless, taking simply divorce rates into account, the situation has improved from 20 years ago.

Well, there ARE a number of issues:

- the emphasis is predominantly based on looks and sex appeal.

- people can take an awfully good looking photo

- you are more confident online. You can be a person other than who you really are. With a damn good photo and the mask of the internet, you can be a dream come true.

- solid, loving relationships are based on attachment, bonding and openness. The above factors set off a relationship to a start contrary to that.

That and I think a lot of women face quite a bit of harassment on these sites or at least used to. That can reduce trust in the platform and perhaps increase the occurrence of the factors above.
