My parents have a small collection of OMNI they had kept over the years. I've always meant to read through them but forgot when I had the time. Thank you for reminding me.
Can I chat with you some time? You are basically who I am going to grow up to be in ~15 years and I'd like to know more about where I'm headed.
yeah, it looks like this is just a pointless piece of legislation so that in the next big election they can say "well WE created the Internet Freedom Whatchamacallit! Did Opponent support that? NO! They don't care about the cyber .gov DNS IP security what does all that mean."

Intuitively this sounds like confirmation for the current system. The thing is, that it takes time to understand truly novel research, while a measurement like the discovery of the Higgs has a immediate impact, because the Higgs mechanism was studied for 40 years.

(To be clear, I believe that the focus on citations is stupid for other reasons, but this does not seem to be a failure of the system.)
So do I trust unelected international organizations or the US government less... That's a tough one.
Yup. For that reason I've stopped releasing often and now have a beta program independent of the app store that people can opt into from the app itself.
> To edit a blog you have to enable JavaScript because the blogging software is written in JS.

I think the client exists: it's a web browser using forms. Not as nice as what we all expected we would have by now back in the 90s, but it works. A blog entry's just a title and some text. Throw in an input field for the title, and a textarea for some Markdown and baby you've got a blog!
A PhD is more about elbow-grease than intellect. You do need some intellectual chops (in your field - you can be very naive outside it), but you need perseverance more than anything.

I've met some PhDs who would run rings around anyone in their niche, but would be (metaphorically) unable to tie their shoelaces by themselves.
It's possible to transfer your number back to Google Voice after you cancel Project Fi:

https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6079398

However, it's not guaranteed:

"Google Voice’s number availability changes regularly, so even if your number was previously on Google Voice, it can’t always be transferred back. If you’d like to keep this number, we recommend transferring it to another carrier that supports it."
HTTPS isn't supported if you're using GH Pages with a custom domain.
> The UK does own it's telecom systems.

I know I used to work in telecomms, my point was that having the first system doesn't mean we should control the ITU in perpetum.

In fact the ITU model is a good example of a model that would work here, the UN runs that and I can ring a phone in America or Azerbaijan.
The article points out that changes in the subscription price will prompt a user to accept. If they take no action the subscription is cancelled automatically. So as a developer, changing your price could have a big attrition rate for current subscribers.

This seems to be less a free speech vs. government censorship issue, and more of an international control vs. one-nation control issue. Whether managed by the ICANN or the NTIA, some government is going to be regulating these standards and domains.
I don't think the OP was "blaming" Haskell and OCaml as much as he was blaming the people trying to add Haskell and features and syntax to Swift and C++.

Haskell syntax works great for Haskell, because the whole language has consistent syntax for things like lazy evaluation and lambda functions. The problem is when people try to tack on those features to Swift or C++ and make it work with the ugly syntax from those languages, it ends up making it even uglier.

To me, the sample code looks like a bastardized mix of C++ and Haskell, and it's pretty hard to figure out what it's doing, even in the toy code samples.
My claim (as the cited conversation is the smoking gun for) is that the project excluded it from their report to the board, not that it was never reported to the board.

In any case, the board were fully aware for a long time of what a disaster the AOO project was; are you claiming they didn't know about the security ineptitude or something? What, precisely, is your claim here?
Most domains can have up to 13 name servers assigned at the registry, most domain registrars will let you setup 6 or more (mine does 6). Ideally you'd have your registrars and another source hosting your dns and keep them synced up.

Unless you have a weird edge case most of the time its set it up once and forget it. This way even if you registrar has problems you have another dns that is still up. Do a dig on some popular domains (like google,cnn,etc) and you'll see they have multiple dns entries by different providers.

If your website is important enough to keep up in case your registrar is not, then you need it hosted by multiple providers including your registrar (its usually free, why not right).
Amusing that this technology bill on Duffy's site [1] is titled "C:\Users\CBOSBO~1\AppData\Roaming\SoftQuad\XMetaL\7.0\gen\c\DUFFY_~1.XML - 16.06.08 - DUFFY_110_xml_0.pdf".

DO isn't in the same market as this, at least going off their websites. DO means doing all the work yourself. Netlify handles everything.

I don't think the pricing is too high. If anything, the high end is too low. It's not like they're aiming at personal sites, are they? And for a company, $39 is nothing -- plans should probably start there. (Seriously, who wants to service a customer for $7 a month?)

FWIW I've never seen or heard of Netlify before in my life.

These two claims you make were addressed in both the original article and the comments higher up in this thread:

I'm incredibly biased. But that bias has come from assessing the technical details and concluding that NT really is superior, if that's any consolation.

PyParallel flogs the Windows versions of things like Go, Node and Tornado because none of those were implemented in a way that allows the NT completion-oriented I/O facilities to be optimally exploited.

It's depressing, honestly. In the sense that open source software never really comes close to taking advantage of NT because there are no such paradigms on UNIX. It's also complex as hell... I came from a UNIX background and completion ports were just a bizarre black box of overcomplicated engineering -- but after taking the time to understand the why, that was just a blub paradox reaction. And it's been a couple of years now of concerted study to really start appreciating the little details.

Yes, that's an interview brain teaser of the exact variety Google and others have found doesn't indicate much in the way of actual job capability/fit. As someone else in the thread pointed out, anyone can look up the methodology for answering these types of questions in about a minute, and be able to tackle all of the variants easily with little actual thinking.

I agree that product managers need the ability to break down big problems (or requirements/client requests/company direction) into manageable pieces for their team to work on. However, there are better ways to gauge this ability, such as...

- Ask directly for an example of how they have taken a big problem or assignment and broken it down in the past

- Give them a real-world big problem you've had recently and ask them how they would break it up into team tasks/user stories/whatever you use

- Ask them to explain their methodology for determining how long something will take to build or test (ex. some people love planning poker, other people love logarithmic buckets, other people base estimates on experience, and others do something completely different)

Basically you'll get a lot more value out of interviews if you ask directly for experience or process they'll be using rather than trying to back into a skill estimate using a brain game.
But what certificate will Github present for your custom domain? I don't think you can tell CF to accept Github pages's cert for your own domain. They either use their own CA or don't do auth, right? At least on non-enterprise plans.
This AI is very stupid. Here's our game, I played white:

It's well known that the correct move here is 3...d6.

> 4.Qe2 d5 5.d3 Bb4+

Black could still limit its material losses to just a pawn with 5...Qe7.

> 6.c3 Bd6 7.Nf3 0-0 8.dxe4 dxe4 9.Nd4 Nd7 10.Nd2 f5

Completely inexplicable.

> 11.Ne6 Qh4 12.g3 Qe7 13.Nxf8 Kxf8

My pieces are still a little stuck, but I'm a full rook up! To my surprise, black was very happy to exchange pieces. The main thing that delayed the final result was my own imprecision.

The lawsuit alleges the price fixing is between Uber and Uber drivers. Of course it is obviously true that Uber sets the price for its drivers. I agree it's a bit odd.

I think it's just an alternate play on the contractor vs. employee argument. Since Uber drivers are not employees I guess it's possible that anti-price-fixing statues might somehow apply. I would imagine that if drivers were employees then this line of attack would be bunk.

It's ironic that, if anything, prices are being fixed below market rate, not above it.

From the second paragraph of your own wiki link:

What about as a solution:

- allow the developer to reply to the review to say the bug was fixed in version x.x
i bet the ads will be more relevant than the search results we normally get from the app store. Too bad they didn't try to just make the app store search better for users and not worry so much about promoted app ranking.
Ouch. This really hurts. So hard to protect against human error.
A couple million dollars would bankrupt the average freelance developer, some many times over. A couple million dollars to any of those companies is negligible. I'm not saying that money is no object, but on the other hand, that Google or apple or whomever allows patrons of their store to be bullied like this is, in my opinion, an embarrassment. It not only shows a lack of concern, but it also loses them money because the apps in question probably have to be pulled from the store. I might be off base but I absolutely think that any of those companies could sue these trolls for their behavior. Instead they seem to be showing that they only care about number one.
Yes. It appears to be some random, obscure, snake-oil like project. These are a dime a dozen. You can't use them all, and in most cases you are just as well off using none.

BindIoCompletionCallback is very old, the new threadpool APIs should be used, e.g.: https://github.com/pyparallel/pyparallel/blob/branches/3.3-p...

AFAIK some split of the children's book test dataset are actually not that well-formed. For example the Verb split, about 1/4 of the correct answers are 'said', which means you can get ~25% accuracy by just choosing 'said'. Then it may make less sense to make too much effort on those ones?

>> if users don't want to pay it, then you'll see the marketplace shift again

My pessimistic opinion is that within Apple's walled garden, the consumers don't get to choose. If the majority of apps go the subscription route, they will succeed because there is no alternative. Average users won't stop paying because it's subscription; in the grand scheme of things, I suspect my refusal to go along with that model puts me in the minority.

I'm a huge fan of Apple hardware/software, but the App Store is not something I ever expect to operate on a set of ideals I agree with. The day they came out with in-app purchases, I figured the days of a model designed for someone like me will never happen.

Apple's revisions to the App Store reinforce that they consider it a rival to the World Wide Web.

Google cornered Web search. Reaction: As they own the walled garden, Apple completely control search within the App Store.
Adwords owns Web Advertisitng. Reaction: Apple will launch paid search in the App Store.
Companies like Netflix, Blizzard, and Salesforce have direct lines to their customer's wallets through subscriptions. Reaction: Apple will launch subscriptions in App Store and take a cut from their developers.

I don't see any of this as a surprise. In fact, I see it as Apple playing to their own strengths. The web is too open a platform for Apple, and history has shown they don't succeed when they don't have control.

Few customers realize that how much it costs to keep an app going: platform API and UI change will either break your app or uglify it. If the app is using external service, then the service API could change too and that causes a lot of work. New device models come, and you will need a lot of work in redesigning the user interface. Even if you are not adding new features, the cost is real to developers especially if the market for this app is small.
He got sued in 2012, and it's still going.
Ummm, did you read the same article I read?

Because I read an article about a team using publicly available data about public companies, then training an algorithm to comb that data to determine which ones were likely customers (which would save their salespeople time and, probably, save time for unlikely customers who are no longer receiving an unwanted solicitation).
The fast/happiness graph of languages is pretty interesting.

Unrelated: Rust would probably be around the right-most area in the horizontal axis, close to C and C++, and a little below Go in the vertical axis.
You say you're not interested in path planning, but path planning and control are really on the same spectrum, which is motion planning. For instance, where to next put big dog's leg is a control problem, but also a path planning problem (how do I get the leg there? Where is the best place to put the leg? Does the leg collide with anything?). If you can't answer these questions and are blindly putting your leg wherever, you're not in control of anything.

Here's a good paper on RL in robotics: http://www.ias.tu-darmstadt.de/uploads/Publications/Kober_IJ...

RL is not widely used for control, but it has yielded some impressive results. In my experience I had a highly dynamic system for which I built a hand-tuned model for motion planning. I also built a RL model and trained it using the hand-tuned model. The RL model performed more than 50% better than my very best efforts.

11 parameters may seem bloated but in some cases Unix syscalls weren't designed with enough parameters whcih caused a bunch of pain necessitating things like

dup->dup2->dup3
pipe->piep2
rename->renameat->renameat2

Best practice nowadays in linux is to allow overloading syscalls via a flags parameter.

see https://lwn.net/Articles/585415/

So modern linux syscalls may be bloated too.

The simplest explanation is that the performance benefit of using Windows and implementing just about any Windows-specific design is outweighed by the cost of the Windows licensing fees, when compared to a measurably worse-performing Linux or FreeBSD solution that costs nothing. So very few bother to treat Windows versions of "backend" software as anything but an afterthought.
> The Israelis withdrew from Gaza in 2005, forcibly removing the settlers, and were rewarded with 11,000 rockets

That wasn't because they removed the settlers, that's because they simply flat out withdrew.

> As for "didn't substantiate any of your claims" for Pete's sake open up a newspaper once in a while.

I know about the terrorist attacks, but that doesn't make the settlement land all "barren", it doesn't mean they "They have responded to every peace offering with horrific, murderous violence" -- it wasn't Palestinians who killed Rabin, you know -- and it doesn't fuse Palestinians into one monolith, something which you pointed out about Israelis but seem unable or unwilling to acknowledge here.

To what "peace offering" are the recent terrorist attacks a response? Who claimed they have "moral superiority", how is such a dichotomy be useful? Listing off instances of terrorism if I didn't know that, when I even said

> there's plenty of terrorism sold as "freedom fighting"

does not substantiate anything but one claim, one you didn't even make, namely "there is terrorism". I mean yeah, duh. My comment takes that into account from the get go. You claimed "there is terrorism in response to every peace offer", that's not the same thing.

> The so-called occupation is a military administration begun after retreating Arab armies ceded the territories in 1967. This arrangement is legal and covered under international conventions. The U.S. did it in Japan and Germany for five years; the Soviet Union did it in eastern Europe for 45 years.

Same here -- your point being? I know that, but since occupation can not forever, at least not as intention, and settlements are never okay, what I said is true now, where it's easy to justify occupation, and also when it might not be.

You can't talk peace while expanding settlements by force. Leibowitz was and remains right, it's just colonialism. And even if there is nobody to talk to atm, don't take what's not yours, and don't confuse self-defense and abuse. That goes for everybody at all times. I'm all for Israeli not taking shit, but to not see how driving out Palestinians also MUST be the intention of people who don't want them to have a state, that's just dishonest. To say "oh those are just far-right politicians, those don't count", isn't made up for with listing atrocities.

> Israelis are totally justified

With what, exactly? Just generally? Because they are "the victim"? I just explained why it doesn't work that way, if you want to dispute that, do so.
