That won't work.

In nature, the less likely you judge your children chances of survival, the more you have. Other reason is that poor people use their children as a form of labor.

There is however one thing you can do and that is - send all your money to poor people and reduce their natality number.

If X introduces half as many bugs as Y, and finishes tasks as fast as Y, and debugging takes majority of time in the project - then X is moving the team forward many times faster than Y.
>getting things done faster leaves more time for doing them better

I'd love to believe that, but it assumes that the incoming rate of things to be done is and will remain lower than your sustainable velocity. In practice, that "more time for doing them better" has a significant chance of becoming additional technical debt.
Even such fancy chips still require some kind of power, and I'd rather that battery (which is a consumable) would be accessible and replaceable.

I don't need to repair individual transistors on the silicon, it would just be nice to be able to replace the battery or screen if I need to.

Context: We use Jupyter heavily (mostly against Spark).

In my experience there is a set of things that "traditional" Jupyter notebooks does really well. Anytime you have a linear flow of steps the notebook metaphor works really well.

However, if you are doing things approaching traditional development, where you have multiple sources of data, or loops that require debugging, or basically anything that isn't linear in nature it doesn't work so well.

I wouldn't want to lose traditional notebooks, but I'd love to be able to offer people something like this that offers better debugging and some development tool support, rather than jumping to a full desktop IDE.
If I have missing values, I can use multiple imputation or even simple averaging and the hit I will take will be negligible. I simply do not work in the remaining 30%. I can tell if the work is going to be above my head and refuse the project in those cases.

So after all this back and forth, I still don't know if there is a book similar to RMS in scope, for Bayesian Nets.
Seriously?

The implication of the hard barrier is that it's not safe to crash into it. If there are big wheels on enormous shock absorbers making it safe to hit the barrier, then a lot less precision is needed, and you can put almost anything in control, even a heavy clamp that keeps the controls skewed slightly toward the barrier. But that's not the scenario anyone else is talking about.

Thanks! I've definately done the GPU PCI passthrough to play AAA games on linux, before steam for linux came out.

Honestly, I can't think of a time where I my linux machine couldn't do something essential that my windows machine could. But vice versa is another story. Try to run a server on regular windows desktop and it will want to reboot every week for updates. I'm wondering why I got downvotes...maybe simply because I sounded combative or fanboyish...
Imagine you're given a problem that is completely novel in its description yet is actually reducible in some non-trivial way to a well-known NP-complete problem that has great probabilistic algorithms available for it.

Googling the original problem description will (for a novel formulation of the problem) not result in any advantage and implementing a standard algorithm will not work if you need n to be large for your application.

I will admit that it's a slightly contrived example ;)

The real problem is that to the average consumer, an electronic device is nothing more than a black box. There is zero chance of them ever being able to repair it, so they have no interest in whether or not it is repairable... Until the battery fails just after the warranty period is up.

I wish people would vote with their feet, but maybe there needs to be some kind of regulation since companies can't be trusted to play nice.
When he asks for a sandbox to provide "a secure drawing API (including 3D, which, yes, is hard). You need a secure file system. You need secure network, and microphone, and webcam, and probably even USB. (It should also be possible to block or control access to each of these.)"

... isn't that the job of a normal OS kernel? The article may call it a "sandbox" but it sounds like normal access control in any OS, not much sandboxing left when asking for all the apis?
My only 4k device is my laptop, which is a Dell with a "TrueLife" display (it's also a touchscreen, which I wasn't looking for, but it came with the lappy mode I wanted, and I've grown to like it in a short time). I've been kinda on the look out for a super good deal on a 4k monitor, but haven't pulled the trigger on that yet...I'm leaning toward a Samsung, but I would guess the higher end Dell monitors are fine...I've always liked my Dell monitors in the past. I used to always buy Viewsonic, but my last Viewsonic monitor was garbage in nearly every regard, so I don't consider them anymore.
I suppose it depends strongly on the particular cultivar. I know I was surprised by the difference when I looked it up a couple of years ago. I was doing a keto diet at the time, so you read a lot of nutrient tables.

Hopefully, at least some of those will learn the lesson here: anything you don't control is a risk to your operation, and anything that's not a commodity/standardised thing, is a huge risk when you don't control it.

Is your experience in consulting...?
I think this mostly would be a marginal gain, especially given that there would be a lot of catching up to do in the manufacturing space, except for the wider color gamut, but it is interesting to think about possible improvements. Here are some ideas:

- "Note that red and blue pixels need to be twice as intensive as green" Is there a necessity for pixels to be rectangular? If not, I would go and shop in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_convex_uniform_tilin... to look for a way to have fewer, but larger red and blue pixels.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snub_square_tiling using green triangles looks like a decent candidate to me. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elongated_triangular_tiling also seems reasonable. In practice, the ideal pattern would depend on the relative brightness of the colours in the light source used.

(I guess it would be easier to just make the familiar rectangular pattern with 4 stripes RGBG and/or with variable widths of the color bands at a slightly higher resolution than to experiment with these)

- If you are making a display where each pixel directly emits light (as opposed to a LCD display, where a pixel can be controlled to let through light from the backlight) and pixels can be made transparent for colors they do not emit, layer the pixels.

The new ghostbusters movie looks awful - it's not a thing about women leads, it's that it looks really bad in a way the original isn't. I know that's subjective, but watch the trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3ugHP-yZXw

Just bad.

There are a lot of bad movies, but this one walks around in the corpse of a much loved and nostalgic intellectual property that a bunch of people wanted. They got that.

Is this really about sexism?

This pattern has shown up a lot recently when an intellectual property is used by something that the original audience doesn't fit into (e.g. the last fable game that got canceled). It's a pretty silly use of an IP - the original audience is where the value comes from.

When I was in the military not too long ago, you needed a General’s approval to go.

I have found parts of mexico that are pretty safe. E.g. Playa Del Carmen is safe, has a lot of expats (Europeans) who also have kids. It doesn't have too much surfing tho. Mostly kite boarding & cave diving.

Apart from "evil" countries like China

I know you put 'evil' in quotes but I still find this trivializes the governance of a country of over billion people and three millenia of continuous government (yes, the communist party may not be called a dynasty but if you look at it from historical perspective it's a direct continuation of the bureaucratic autocratic system that's dominated the area before Plato and Aristotle ).

Or what about incentivizing the poorest people to have fewer children via social programs, education, etc.

IMO, there are two main reasons for high birth rates: 1. lots of children are a form of capital in capital poor areas 2. there is very little else to do than breed in the evenings. 3. these two create a behaviour pattern in society where having lots of children is the social proven option.

If one does not want to go the china way then one needs to affect these causes directly. For 2. I suppose giving entertainment would lower birth rates. For 1 - well, I have no idea what to do with that apart from supporting economic growth.
Blaze CSS – Open Source Modular CSS Framework
I have no opinion on Ghosbusters, but I just wanted to add that maybe it's not all out of spite and out of hatred towards media aimed at women? I'm a man and I would on average rate any rom-com that I saw with my fiancee much lower than she would - but at the same time, she would usually rate any action move that I liked much lower than I would. It's not because I hate women or she hates men - it's just.....not everything is for everyone? I have no idea how you would reflect it in ratings though?
How does the author know which reviewers are female or male?

Ah, the "but Linux sucks too" tactic! Of course it does, so does everything. In the past 10 years, I had to build from source about 50 times, and had 2 broken packages - while installing thousands (plus dependencies, not counting that). Not perfect - but way better than hunting for each and every single one.

It's almost certainly the power supply. Most consist of just a bridge rectifier and capacitive dropper, some of which are so bad as to negate some of the advantages of the LED's efficiency. Poor design and cheap components are the norm, so you get lots of failed diodes and capacitors. They also have terrible power factor, though that isn't much of a concern for consumers.
I totally agree with you Control Panel / Settings are indeed a mess. And a year later they still haven't figured out how to integrate the two.

Other than that its a stable OS that does what I want. Also Bash is a very welcome addition.

How Much Does It Cost to Build a Taxi Booking App Like Uber?
It seems nice and polished like most Apple products. I'll try it out more, and then with my baby girl when she's a bit older. Apple needed to start addressing the software end a bit more.

For me, I guess having started in 1979 with a Commodore PET and basic and assembly, it doesn't have the appeal. I tried Kotlin a year ago, and Swift looks identical to it to me. I believe in the gamification concept, I just think it is from an adult's view on what they think a child likes, which I guess is inescapable unless you do constant targeting studies and updates. In the end, have children design what children like with an adult's skills at hand to realize it.

I use Codea, Pythonista and now Continous (.NET/F#/C# on an iPad Pro) [1]. I can write add-ons and actions for my iPad apps in Pythonista (Editorial and others) to extend them. I am a polyglot and Scratch is not something I would use to teach my kids, not for any enumerable reasons other than I tried, and it didn't appeal to my kids after the first animation demo program. I know it has been somewhat popular. My older teenage children fared better with Processing, Racket, Minecraft, Arduino and plain Python.

One that has caught my attention, and I will show my youngest child is NetLogo [2]. It is a modeling environment for researchers, business people, and well, basically adults, but it is self-contained, comes with tons of examples, and will be valuable in the future in learning modeling. It's a lot of fun too!

NetLogo's three-tabbed unified interface has the GUI simulation up front, an Info/Documentation page second, and a Code tab. The Code is a variation of Logo. Short programs, and easy syntax with immediate gratification of watching your simulation run. Now just some more kid-friendly examples, and you're off to the races and a PhD in the Mathematical Sciences and Modeling!

Does anyone have any links to tutorials or whatever, on how to go about creating a shell from scratch? I'd like to have a hand at creating something like Bash.
The sandbox written in Rust can only be secure if the libraries it depends on, the compiler that was used to compile it, and the kernel as well as the compiler used to compile it and the libraries it depends on were all written in Rust.

Furthermore, even if applications are sandboxed, that only prevents vulnerabilities from being exploited with other applications. A web page able to compromise my web browser would still be able to get all my browsing history, my usernames, my passwords… The sandbox would not help with that.

This does not necessarily make it worth it to rewrite everything in Rust, but it is worth considering writing any new software in Rust instead of C, especially if this new software is at a low level like compilers, the kernel, and libraries. Other applications can be written in a higher-level language with garbage collection and static typing instead of C.
