I've chatted with friends about my desires should I get a cancer that is more likely to kill and not be treatable, to refuse chemo, and to live what remains of my life qualitatively rather than quantitatively.

I would plan how best to handle my death, and aim to enjoy every moment before a quick and severe pain takes over and does the job.

Some have said this is a selfish viewpoint, that I should stay around longer for the ones I love. But the reverse is true, it is selfish of those that love to demand quantity over quality, especially when it slowly strips away the very being of a person.

All we can do is live a life fully, but that isn't "as long as possible", it is "as much as possible".

> They are just following the man page.

I think Ruby devs' position is more than this. By keeping the faulty man page, Linux maintainers are implicitly communicating that they intended `/dev/urandom` to be a limited and less recommended way of doing things. The intention is important: even though `/dev/urandom` is actually better in the current kernel it may not in the future. It is not the only answer, as other languages did another choice, but it is perfectly reasonable to be conservative like this.

We badly need to change that intention, really.
The only reason why I may ultimately move back to Western-Europe: the right to arrange a peaceful death on my own terms. Sad news nonetheless.

Looks nice, but like net/http does not offer a way to stop the service gracefully.
100% agree. But there is not a single word about caching or how to integrate it with Relax either. I understand it is a young project but if I need a CMS I want it to have it a little tested and scaling questions not open. Caching is totally NOT trivial with React,Redux,GraphQL (at least I totally don't know how to do it but maybe I'm not smart enough) ... maybe it is even harder with such an architecture. I'm just saying I doubt a littlebit the cool and shiny architecture justifies the purpose (many questions open).
I can't fathom how it must feel to live each day while a cancer grows inside of me. Pieter is definitely a man of much greater fortitude than I.

I also can't get over the fact that 1 in 2 people develop cancer in their lifetimes. One would think curing cancer ought to be amongst humanity's greatest concerted challenges.

Last time I went through a series of interview to find a new job, I systematically asked to go to the bathroom. I believe male's toilet cleanliness is a good indicator of how employees perceive their workplaces.
Said simply, if it's not clean then I expect employees to give poor considerations to each other or to the work they produce.
You can be fooled by what recruiters tell you in the interviewing room, the perks they offer (free food, ping-pong etc.) but I think a company always show signs it can't control while you're in their precinct.
With Bitcoin and 21 you can set up payments within hours, if not minutes.

If you wanted to set up a traditional CC, you'd need to write the whole billing and tracking system, and so on. Managing all this is cost-prohibitive for smaller solutions.

Oh, and with CCs there are chargebacks, so you can never be sure that the money will actually arrive on your account. This virtually rules out any kinds of services where it costs you real money to run. E.g. if you want to create mechanical-turk API, good luck. Someone will pay with a stolen CC, ramp up $10k in bills, and then do a chargeback.
no it wouldn't and it doesn't. Either you would have to strip it down too much to fit on a phone, so it would lose performance (and it's far from state-of-the-art anyway, being an example) or it would not fit on your phone, unless you removed everything else from it (and even then).

Yes, it is an example program. Nevertheless, to quote: "Even if you want to transform a sequence to a tree, for example to generate a parsing tree, the same model as above can give state-of-the-art results, as demonstrated in Vinyals & Kaiser et al., 2014"

Language modelling isn't the same as translation, but it is closely related. Seq2seq as an approach does achieve close to state-of-the-art for translation[1].

Why do you think it won't fit on your phone?

A related seq2seq model in TensorFlow comes in at less than 500kb[2]. The (much more complex) Image Recognition demo is designed to run on Android[3].

The new TensorFlow quantization approach[4] will reduce that size and increase performance even more.

No, Irish people owned the land - typically absentee landlords, (albeit Protestant as you rightly point out).

The Government imported millet from India to help feed people, but Irish radicals called it "Peel's Brimstone" (it's yellow remember) and said those who ate it endangered their immortal souls. They preferred the propaganda value of dead children.

As for the "English", we were thrown off our lands by the Enclosure Acts, and forced into the factories as the only way to avoid starvation - by the same Norman-British upper classes that were abusing Ireland as well. But for some reason, although we are fellow victims, we are the ones that always get the abuse for acts not of our doing.
Their solution appears to be actually worse than the initial state, if they simply automatically split the long pages and add "prev - next" buttons.

The proper solution for them is to look at Wikipedia as an example. Tables of contents in longer articles, manually introducing the new topics or reorganizing when it's reasonable. And it's not something that can be automated.

Automatic splitting of long pages to shorter ones is good only for "we get money for clicks" media but not for a repository of knowledge with serious intentions.

No kidding. My father's company wouldn't instill a culture where the expectation is to work 80+ hours a week and then try to (inadequately) offset it with shitty little perks like a ping-pong table.
I don't know in which country you live, but I am very happy we have rulings here in Germany blocking access to businesses if those businesses are not following the law. WhatsApp, even if a US based company, is defacto providing a service in Brazil, it means they have to follow Brazilian laws. Dura Lex Sed Lex. You have more context on the other submission[0] showing that WhatsApp had way enough time to take the requests of the judge into account and act on them. They preferred to go the "we are too big to be shut down" way, which is not the way the law works and then complain about freedom and democracy.

A reporter specifically asked him if we should have a full database of ALL Muslims. She asked him this several days after the whole thing started in order to clarify what his position was.

He said we should start thinking about it. He either wasn't paying attention to what she was saying at all, or he thinks a database of all Muslims could be a good idea.

That he even entertains the idea that requiring members of a specific religion to register with the government is absurd.

> I'm just saying I think people take his brash no-bullshit no-filter style and run with it too far...

So when he said that we should "Take out" the family members of terrorists as a deterrent, and then defended his statement the next day, we shouldn't worry about it? He was just bullshitting, not actually advocating committing a war crime?

I don't know which situation is scarier. A president who actually plans on doing the things he says he will, or a president with no filter who just says the first thing that pops into his head.

It was this paragraph:

Since any potential employer can't rely on a candidate's certificate/degree to indicate that they actually knows the material (or can apply it), they are forced into retesting every candidate (i.e. the dreaded technical interview). This is an incredible wasteful process for both candidates and the employers. What is needed is a certification process that can't be gamed that measures true retention of knowledge and skill.

ISTR NT has other mechanisms for that.
Right; for me the determining factors between the two cases are:

1) It is a known pain point, so the problem has been discussed. Probably a lot. The pain is the reason for the code, and if there's a new tool involved, that's additional not a main reason.

2) it's usually a technical task - for example something related to faster, more reliable deployments. This means that the requirements are already well-known by the engineer, and that it probably hasn't been addressed yet as it's hard to tie to a business benefit.

3) Experience of the engineer. Senior devs are more likely to chose a good target.

The writer attacks impressions over clicks as more expensive and less worthwhile, but misses entirely that advertising isn't about making you click (few really click), it's about awareness.

The writer also notes that Google is putting ads on lower quality websites, but forgets that their search ads comprise the lions share of their ad revenue. Google.com isn't becoming a lower quality website.

Yeah, sorry, you are right, but that was probably the most sincere reply I could post, put in a very straight form. I had to stop reading, because it was too much.
Why would you let that pain even take over, why not gently increase Morphine as you go? That is how it's done here in the Netherlands and, I guess also in Canada now.

A friend of mine (then 24) went home to die even though doctors still wanted to treat him. But as everyone else he didn't want to die alone, in a hospital. He went home, had a cigarette, stared over the sea, drank a beer with his soccer mates. Within 2 weeks he died. His way. those two weeks were a lot more valuable than the 2 months just spend in isolation because of the absence of an immune system.

I'd definitely choose quality over quantity, it sounds bizarre to me that you yourself would not be the person allowed to make that choice in some countries.

White House launches public workshops on AI issues
At $DAY_JOB we have various document (or rather, knowledge) repositories -- a mostly-abandoned-but-still-useful-often-enough-to-not-ignore wiki, the obligatory but overwhelming salesforce, personal (silo) collections of email lists/archives, a semi-public knowledge base, a half-hearted attempt at moving internal mail lists into yammer, various product guides (PDF's), a public-access user forum, an LMS, and probably a few others I don't know about. It is precisely as easy to search for information as you'd assume.

Last year we embraced Sharepoint - with expectations of replacing much of the above. (It didn't.)

Evidently no one uses Sharepoint as a way of presenting documentation to the world - let alone using the wiki-like features - not even Microsoft. What's the opposite of NIH syndrome?

- death is instantanious (within 15-30 seconds of administration of penthotal)

- often a sedative is given. Dormicum can lead to loud snoring so you should discuss with your doctor necessity/alternative

The report suggests "clarifying" what the man page means by the (completely incorrect) statement that "Users should be very economical in the amount of seed material
that they read from /dev/urandom"

Probably the reporter was just being polite, but in the
absence of other comments in the bug or any kernel developers weighing in, it just sounds
like an editorial suggestion coming from a single Linux user. Remember that the man-pages project is separate from kernel development.

Defining our border has nothing to do with it. The wall is a terrible idea. An unmanned wall is ridiculously easy to defeat with a wooden ladder and some rope. In order for it to actually work you're going to need to spend massive amounts of money to man the wall, but at that point you don't really need a wall anymore.

Sure you can completely secure the border with less guards with the wall than without (you'll still need a lot more guards than we have now to secure the entire border), but the wall will cost so much money that could just skip the whole thing, take the money you save and hire enough border patrol agents to make the existing fences effective.

Then you don't have to deal with the awful PR image of a modern developed nation building a wall along the border.

The government spent more than $7 billion building a fence that only covers a fraction of the border. How much do you think it's going to cost to build an enormous wall that covers the whole thing?

Oh but wait, it won't cost anything because Mexico is going to pay for it. The wall isn't a real proposal, it's just Trump pandering to Republican voters. Just like he's now supposedly pro-life after years of being ardently pro-choice. Or how he is firmly for gun rights after years of supporting the assault weapons ban. Or how he loves reading from Two Corinthians.

As a cancer survivor, I feel so conflicted about this. On one hand, I can completely understand where you're coming from. But on the other hand, I think seeing things in such black and white terms is pretty shortsighted. When there's a terminal prognosis, many/most doctors will offer an array of treatments and therapies to help manage symptoms without trying to make you feel worse. There are several middle-grounds that can help extend life without prolonging it (a fairly semantic, but very important difference).

Which, of course, leads to my next major gripe: end of life treatments (even outside of cancer) are generally awful. Euthanasia and assisted suicide laws are sorely lacking. Palliative care systems tend to stretch people's last days out so thin, it's awful.

So, despite refusing treatment, you may still end up in palliative care in undignified and grim circumstances. That's a tragedy. We need to do better.
To me this all sounds like: play stupid games, win stupid prices
