Like in my other reply I make a strong demand for reproduce able science.

Where is the integration build of frank? Just one binary with source that work, alan kay did run some demos on a mac. Its too bad that this great software is now starving on some researcher archives :(

I call for reproducible science:

Sublime Text 1 used OpenGL (1.1 only, hence no GLEW) and Direct3D, while 2 and 3 are mostly software only.

While Sublime Text 2 and 3 do use Skia, only a tiny fraction of its functionality is actually used, just for rasterizing lines and blitting images. Font rendering is done by using the underlying platform APIs to do the glyph rasterisation.

Because we're seeing, at the same time, a drive away from owning media and instead streaming them, and/or storing data increasingly in The Cloud® and only having a small working set locally.

All those off-loaded will have to be stored somewhere by someone, and that someone will most likely keep using spinning rust for its better price.

And if you do want to keep all your data locally (e.g. because you're living in Nowhere Innawoods and ISPs struggle to get you 6 MBit/s), HDDs can't keep getting bigger and cheaper fast enough.

I also do the same thing. This is could sent he read down the rabbit hole if the comments is misleading which can be caused by misspelling or incorrect grammatical errors. Especially important if the team does not share the same language (ie English, German, French, or Mandarin etc).
This is not code review problem but huge ego problem. When you are discussing code you should always use technical arguments not personal attacks. Only bad programmers value their ego more than good advice from others. You should always use code review as opportunity to learn/teach new things not to fight or offend others.
With a sufficient level of precision, there's room for machine analysis to "reveal" things we are ignoring out of custom. A lot of text analysis done by people is full of biases and deferral to authorities.

E.g. I remember from school getting in into an argument with a teacher over the interpretation of a poem. "His" interpretation, which was really the interpretation of some authority who'd written a book was blatantly contradicted by the text if you assumed that the author hadn't suddenly forgotten all his basic grammar despite all the evidence to the contrary everywhere else that he was always very precise in this respect.

Of course, in some of these kind of instances, it will be incredibly hard to overcome the retort that any "revelation" is just a bug.

In a more general sense, people are typically exceedingly bad at parsing text, judging by how often online debates devolve into bickering caused largely by misunderstanding the other party's argument. Often to the extent of even ending up arguing against people who you agree with. Having tools that help clarify the parsing for people might be interesting in that respect too.
Sorry but its 2016, publishing a paper is not enough. Alan kay of all should now we need more , we need:

The three/four pillars of reproducible research

Often in the discussions around open and reproducible science we focus three main types of research products

1. the paper: the traditional narrative document, often 2. the data: increasingly appreciated as a first-class citizen of scientific record with data repositories providing DOIs
3. the code: recognized as a research product, but the last to be integrated into literature system and given DOI

4. the environment: a critical and under-appreciated ingredient for computational reproducibility

THAT should be the minimum for all science projects IMHO. What do you think?

That's your brain taking a shortcut because you know that "punched" is a verb, and that a verb in that form is likely to be followed by a subject noun, etc. Even if you never study grammar and couldn't even answer the question "which is the verb in this sentence?" your brain has still learned to recognise the different types of word which is why you understand them.

My biggest enemy against estimates is debugging, it is really easy to forget how simple bugs in a program can be the biggest time sinks.

I guess this is something good programmers excel at doing, plus every-time get stuck with a time wasting bug, reminds me I have so much more to learn.
Genuine question: Would big companies also lay off people during recession? I mean companies like APPL/GOOG/FB. What happen to their employee at that time though? Did they get a pay cut?
The dummies don't need to be a type of drone that can carry a useful payload, that is the point. They just need to sufficiently resemble one for long enough that you have to shoot them down just in case.

I'm not saying we have to have it. Post-scarcity economics are great, once you've got effectively limitless production capacity. Without that, you've got to have a way for people to exchange goods and services.
I can't believe they do it either. It's a button. Its main purpose is to be pressed. They literally say it will cost you 2 cents per button push.
You're absolutely right. "The next big thing" is a term marketing folks and journalists like to bat around because it (over) simplifies difficult concepts.

The general trends have been miniturisation and ubiquitous connectivity, and they haven't just appeared in one big thing, but in every area of life.
It's very common for professors and researchers, which I guess he kind of is.
That would be really cool :) !
As someone pointed out elsewhere, though, drones that can carry enough explosives, on the other hand, are not cheap.

But drones that can be made up to look like they are drones that can carry enough explosives when seen from a bit of a distance is another matter.

That's an interesting point, though I suspect it's slightly overstated. I'm sure there's several scenarios that demand huge amounts of storage - e.g. storing HD series, etc - but I'd argue that it isn't mainstream in the greater scheme of things. Heck, I have a 2mbit ADSL line (since I'm living in the arse end of nowhere), and my primary PC has 3x250GB spinnies and a 100GB SSD, no cloud storage. I have a 2TB external for long-term backups. I haven't bothered to replace the HDDs, because honestly I don't really need to. And I'm sure I'm not a special case.

I appreciate your detailed response, I liked your "tip based on what you drink socially" guide, never heard that one before in all of my googling.

However, I think that shows exactly why people hate tipping and would rather just pay a higher fixed cost. Not to mention the whole subjectivity of "quality" from the tippers POV. What you may call a crappy waiter another person may call average.

Finally.. one point my grandpa made to me that has stuck with me

> 15% for table service. It already scales perfectly well with the menu prices.

He would always take me out to breakfast. He told me he tips breakfast waiters what a typical dinner tip size would be. "Just because we are eating pancakes doesn't mean the waiter is working any less". I'm sure there is some whole "work your way up" in the restaurant biz but my anecdotal experience has been older women serving breakfast and young men & women at dinners. Guessing it has to do with being home for kids after school.
AFAIK it uses Markov chains, so I think it just lumps all dictionaries together, and as soon as you write a couple of words, the probabilities for the following words will be in the proper language. It doesn't even need specific rules per language, it's all automatic.

Hey, I look forward to the day I can charge high rates going in to fix underlying problems for this stuff... So far, those of my clients doing cloud setups typically end up spending 2x-3x as much for my services to sort out their systems than those doing dedicated hosting, on top of usually spending more on hosting as well...

There are certainly exceptions that are using cloud technology for the things they are genuinely cost effective for (e.g extremely spiky traffic; bulk processing; or to manage their own dedicated hardware), but the amount of money that's blindly thrown out the window because the people authorising the expenses don't know how to estimate the costs of these things is staggering.

Single individuals involved in local politics begins the process of change in a small group, which can beget change in a larger group.

Better to be involved and work towards the change you want to see, than to throw your hands up and despair over the "broken political system of our western psuedo-democratic nations".

That's the point of democracies - they only work when people effectively engage. Most people don't, but that's not a failure of democracy, it's a failure of society. History is rife with examples of single individuals and small groups who made massive change over time. The American civil rights movement, the Indian independence movement, the anti-Apartheid movement in South Afica...

You can work to make change and then bemoan anything you want, but if you choose not to engage, your words lack authenticity and merit.

It's a common misconception that "algorithmically selected" implies a certain non-bias. Perhaps this myth stems from examples used to explain simple algorithms (e.g. drawing straws, or pulling names from a hat).

Complex algorithms certainly do exhibit bias, and not only that - it's intentional. The whole point of a "trending" topic is to discriminate (i.e. inject bias) trendy topics from less trendy topics.

So you're talking about only adding the bias you want it to add - but I hope you can imagine that's an impossible cause to get 100% correct. There's no rigorous definition of trending; nor is there a rigorous definition of the topics to be selected from, nor are lots of other matters here rigorously defined. There's no way you're going to do better than some fuzzy algorithms trained on real data.
Critically, that tends to mean real data generated by... biased humans.

Also every time this under-marketing and under-hype of sublime comes up I wonder if we already reached the stage were semi-objective and subjective evaluation of tools is not enough to legitimate their use, if some sort of "hype" is necessary to release users from the burden of own evaluation and decision making...

Infrared film used to be available commercially with sensitivity up to 900nm. It was quite useful for aerial photography work – forestry, surveying, spying. Very little of it is still around. Kodak Ektachrome was what one could get for your high school dark room. Aerochrome for surveying work. It was discontinued in 2009. Ilford however still makes some. Be forwarned, finding someone to develop the stuff is a nightmare, the chemicals are toxic, and the shelf-life brief.

Scientific infrared films, such as special formulations of AeroChrome I, II, II, approached sensitivity up to 1200nm.

In surveillance work, objects which were painted to look like their natural environment using various organic or inorganic paints may show up quite differently in the infrared spectrum.

In forestry work, old growth tree populations could easily be distinguished from new growth tree populations and were one of the primary uses for Nasa's version of the U2 (ER-2) for identifying old-growth redwood populations in northern California. [1]

A lot of work was done in the 1970's and '80's by astronomers and physicists to 'hack' Eastman Kodak scientific film, or plates as they were called. (Once you move past "point and shoot" film, you get into the realm of plates, 4"x5" trays similar to old-timey 1880's cameras.) Things like Kodak I-Z. One technique was to hypersensitize the film by bathing it in Ammonium Hydroxide [2]. Lawrence Livermore had such an appetite for IR-sensitive film with their laser work that they set up their own production process for hypsersentizing Kodak scientific plates. Another was to supersensitize them with acetic solutions getting film sensitivity in the >1500nm range [3]. This seems to be the limit of our knowledge for traditional chemical film processes.

Modern DSLR's have sensitivity up to 1600nm. Nikon worked with NASA for some of their special DSLR's [4].

One of the cooler things I saw was a University of Florida paper in Nature that used IR-OLED's to upconvert IR to visible light through a lens adapter achieving sensitivity from 400nm to 2000nm [5].

Beyond 2000nm you get into the MWIR range and FLIR devices take over.

Apple certainly does well in investing in R&D and looking towards some amount of pivoting.

However, this quasi-exponential growth in spending reminds me of a pathetic moment at a EU commission meeting I attended, on research and innovation public funds in 2010.

The EU commissioner basically complained that Europe had no Unicorns like the GAFAs, but wanted to be reassuring: this is about to change. We will prevail, because we'll spend more on R&D (through tax money) than all of these do together.

With the implicit assumption that the more you spend, the bigger the returns.
Sorry, I have little idea what your point is. She's was/is a recent graduate, she's new to any industry. If you "stick around" long without increase in salary, equity or experience (preferable all fo them) you're doing it wrong.

I've often thought about starting a think tank business that would be similar to this thought. Basically, it would employ people to think up new things, whatever they wanted, and then we would sell those ideas/patents. Sort of like Google's 20% time only at 100%. No idea if it would work, but it would be a great place to work.

Yeah, network will be more important. I think they will stop looking at resumes that are not from internal referrals. And probably still some boring whiteboarding questions after that.

But my hypothesis is, they would really try to hire someone with experience, because they won't spend time training him/her, just like what happens in the IC industry.

Yes, if you spot ß, that's a dead giveaway for German. You can't really rely on it alone for identification however because it's not that frequent (or rather, it's very inconsistent – German can run for paragraphs without a single ß only to make up for it with five of them in a single sentence). It's also not used at all in Swiss German.

Another near-certain giveaway is that all nouns in German are capitalised. The only other language that does that and uses the Latin alphabet is Luxembourgish, and you're probably not looking at that.
I picked a random candidate and then clicked on play on all of the videos at the same time. That was a special kind of insane.
Yeah, I keep getting clients come to me because of the complexity of their cloud setups, and they invariably end up paying far more than the guys running stuff on dedicated hosting. Most of them also pay 2x-3x as much for the hosting itself...

I think a lot of these setups grow by accretion because people are able to push things onto them within purchasing mandates they have because of monthly fees that can slowly grow through discrete approvals rather than having to justify large capital expenditures upfront, or even seeking approval for contracts for monthly payments vs. running up per-minuter or per-hour or per-GB charges...

I suspect a lot of the enthusiasm for these services would vanish if more engineering teams actually had to produce cost estimate, budgets and after-the fact accounting of operational costs for the stuff they build...

I think as a startup, though, offering these kind of platforms as open source is ingenious, because you get mindshare, but people soon enough will run into enough pain to want to offload the pain on someone else - either hiring devops/ops people, contracting it out, or coming to your startup begging you to run it for them.

Certainly, it's great for people like me who do consulting part time that people don't know how to do this, as it's far easier to justify my rate when I can ask to see their hosting costs and be able to point out to them that the monthly cost savings they'll get will cover the fees in 3-4 months.

But those probability models are really far removed from real world/human experience. No human is going to claim a leopard skin sofa could be an actual leopard for example. Not gonna be even a little confused.

There is just a ton of information and context the computer probability models do not have. They can use all the big data they want, but are capturing only a very thin slice of real world information.
It's generally the case that you can't work on anything truly interesting or challenging until after 6pm anyway -9-5 gets chewed up so badly by all the bullshit, meetings, email, and noisy salespeople yelling into their phones, that the real work can't get done until everybody goes home and some peace and quiet can be obtained.

3 hours of focused work with no distractions is worth at least 3 typical work days.
Post scarcity isn't just about production, it's also about logistics, everyone forgets that.
A frag grenade costs something like $30 (and that's with military procurement overhead that would also raise the drone price to $300; mass produced third world grenades cost $5-$10 to their armies); a detonator, explosives and ballbearings for a DIY modification to that drone would be much cheaper.

Anti-tank shaped explosive charge would be hundreds of dollars but again, a fraction of the drone cost.
