Wow. Hard to believe the pace at which this progresses and the quality that they pull off while doing it. Great job!

The only big thing I miss (and I miss this with Github too) is a way to prioritise issues. Yes, I get it, you can label things 10 different ways and achieve most of what you get from a priority system. It doesn't replace the simple ability to get a list in order of the most important things outstanding in order. I want it to be easy to generate a list of 'urgent' and 'high priority' where the 'urgent' issues are listed ahead of the 'high priority' and not ordered randomly.
I'm 29 years old, I come from a CS background, I'm not religious and I've felt that way as well. Like most of us here.

Watching this course has helped me a great deal: "Personality and its transformations", by Jordan B. Peterson at University of Toronto.

Not all of it is as scientifically rigorous as we are probably used to, but It's plenty of valuable insights very hard to find anywhere else. I can't begin to express my gratitude to that man.

I hope you find it as useful as it was to me, and I wish you well.

I like how gardenforce replied "Very interesting" to his/her own comment.
MS is now a services business, they want to sell you their cloud. They can't do that if the linux ecosystem is shut out of Windows as it was before. Simply supporting Linux VMs is not enough, because long-term they still want to maintain some control on the OS market. So they open enough doors that you (or your corporate boss) will be enticed to consider their offerings and move to their cloud. You have some sweet cloud-management tool that runs on Linux? "You can now run it in the same way on Windows! Oh and with Windows in our cloud you also get all these other goodies..." - et voilà, locked back in.

Most "advanced" cloud services are built with the aim of locking you in (AWS, Oracle, Heroku, etc etc): easy to adopt and easy to extend, which means "hard to leave". Microsoft is no exception.
I am really looking forward to this for my Surface Book. Historically I've loaded up a virtual machine running Linux, this was more complete and had fewer hiccups than a Cygwin type of setup for me. Of course it would be REALLY useful if they also support NFS for mounting stuff from my NAS appliance and a compositor (Wayland/X11/Etc.) that would allow things that create windows to work as well.

I'm a programmer working at an AI startup, http://keatext.ai, but I'm not touching the AI part, so I just want to point out that there are other ways to get in. In my case, I had experience with Haskell, their backend is using Scala, those are both functional languages, and that was good enough!

Also, we're in Montreal and we're hiring :)
This is technically accurate since I found out myself this week when browsing the AKP email leak. Some of the attachments in the emails were clearly malware of some sort. See for example: https://wikileaks.org/akp-emails/emailid/27482
Suriname was surprisingly good for my health, something about the air I think. Now if I could only find more people to send me on short scientific errands around the world..

Safe flying! How long are you staying?
True. I guess Godwin's law should be updated to take into account how long it takes to reach a probability of 1 for a given topic in a given context.
For what it's worth, we had an awesome 24/7 account manager with PayPal back when we were 100% bootstrapped. I think it's more about volume than Silicon Valley connections.
Correct. The press can report on whatever it wants and regular citizens can read it (I vaguely remember there being something like a clear and present danger exception for the former). Otherwise, it would be illegal for any news organization to write about drone strikes.
Yeah, and if it was a defense contractor, its quite likely that a substantial number of people (maybe everyone) in the firm may have actually been subject to the kind of rules you describe, even when most citizens are not.
What Scientific Idea Is Ready for Retirement? Infinity (2014)
This has nothing to do with morality or ethics. This is an automated system that detected malware on the wikileaks site. There's no reason to think a human was even involved in the decision to apply this label.

The site may have been hacked (and just because it looks OK when you visit doesn't mean it hasn't been hacked). It could even be a state-sponsored attacker trying to exploit a zero day to monitor wikileaks visitors. Or, as someone points out below, it could be run-of-the-mill malware contained in attachments of some of the recently released email dumps.
Ultrasonic sewing machines have been around for decades. They are very limited in the fabrics they can work with and are mostly used for industrial textile products, disposable items, and for things that need to be waterproof, like dry bags.

Gluing is used a lot for things like interfacing (stiffening collars) and hemming. You need a fairly large seam area to get good adhesion. Since the glue makes the fabric stiffer this would make the seam uncomfortable.

It depends on where you live, but that in and of itself is a flaw -- ideally the game wouldn't be less fun for people who don't live in cities/large towns.
I think the whole "you don't need to engineer features" thing can be a bit oversold, in that you don't need to build explicit feature extractors, but you do still need to design your architecture to fit your problem domain. It's more general than traditional feature extraction, but if you keep working on a single problem for long enough you may find that while deep learning can be a great starting point, you eventually want to add more hand-coded features if you really have some insight that the neural net isn't fully capturing.

I'm personally quite interested to see if we find meaningful ways of constructing differentiable feature extractors that we can train conjointly with a neural net.
I built a chat app for pokemon go that allows people within a 5 mile radius to chat anonymously. It also has a crowd sourced pokemon spawn map where people can broadcast and located pokemons within their vicinity.

Once I can get Apple to stop rejecting it I'll post a link.
There are some fairly aspirational claims about how it might be different in this paper, which is a great read:

http://shaffner.us/cs/papers/tarpit.pdf

There has already been some significant progress on this front. E.g., SQL and logic programming let you describe what you want to happen, and let the computer figure out some of the details. Any compiler worth using does this, too. Smarter machines and smarter programs will mean smarter programming languages.

What ever you do, remember to eat and sleep well and exercise. You may do those already, but those are lowest building blocks of mental health and are kinda the most obvious actionable answers to your question.

Just pointing those out because they are what I neglect occasionally when feeling down and end up feeling ever more miserable.

Folllowing our intrinsic motivations is usually very pleasurable. Perhaps there is some hobby you enjoyed that you've not done in a while?

"This" is what life is - and no one owns your life except you. Dreaming of having a ferrari is a stupid dream. Rich peoples lives are potentially just as hollow as median income ones. The only thing I'm aware to bring people joy constantly is being able to follow ones intrinsic motivations. You don't need to be 'something' to be happy - just you, and being able to be you. If you feel there is nothing pleasurable in life you may have a depressive period. Usually these pass - without medication. Note: it's quite common to have a slight depressin after achieving a major life goal. After getting my MSc I felt empty and dissatified - and am quite content now.
If I put a gun to your head, I'm not forcing you to do anything - you can always choose the bullet.

That market economy is running only on voluntary trade is one of the biggest and weirdest misconception that's being spread. Most of the transactions we make are ones we cannot reasonably choose not to make. We can at best choose the vendor we're dealing with.
Wine development release 1.9.15 is now available
There has been no evidence suggesting that computer circuitry is anything more than a small, complex, form of metal and stuff; the same as buildings. So it is assumed that biologics circuit is the only circuitry that produces consciousness. Those who think differently have been proven to be mentally incopetent( mentally ill).
Yes. I bet you plenty of companies are already on it as we speak.
Only if you have a clearance.

If you're not cleared you've made no such agreement with USG and you can freely look at leaked classified material as an American citizen.
It's active enough, but if you watch trends even one or two additional players in a big city is enough to make a significant difference in the overall team battles.

Similarly, I used to live in San Francisco and my team recently hit 54 winning septicycles in a row -- that's over a year of weekly victories. While we're good players, we're not that good. It's problematic if one team can establish that degree of dominance in one of the most tech-oriented cities in the world.

(Brooklyn had a similar streak the other way.)

And since Ingress never monetized in the top couple of hundred apps, there's no way it is/was profitable.
> Except we have here in this thread a case of people calling someone out on internalized objectification.

If it wasn't externalized in this thread, no one would have been able to call anyone out on it. "Published in an open forum" is not "internalized".
They're suing an employee for (alleged) theft of proprietary documents, obtained through using the credentials of another employee. Not for "talking to reporters."

This is a pretty clear case of where there's smoke...

There's innuendo and hyperbole.
This is probably an even better counterpoint.
Can you email me at jeff@humble.com? I would love to see what you are talking about. We do have an awesome engineering team that works on fraud and "trusting the processor" is actually the last step in our defense.
Classification is provided by the government, internal to the government ergo a citizen that is neither government nor contractually associated with said government can read anything they like.
I didn't real every comment - there are many. But here is my opinion: This is pretty common in the late 20's. Lots of changes, then suddenly, it is the same thing every day. I am about 10 years older, and my life has completely changed since then, part luck and part my own choices. My advice:
1. You aren't your job. Concentrate on something other than work. Have a truthful answer to "what do you do?" that isn't work. I'm an artist, but the pay is terrible, so I gotta make money other ways. What do you do?
2. But I understand the job has a big impact. Take an honest look. Do you actually hate the work? Is it tolerable? Stressful? Boring? Or are you simply coming to terms that your dreams that you worked towards haven't quite come? There isn't much to do about the last, but all the rest are fixable. You have a flexible degree, and you can use it in different industries. Schools, retail, and so on. If you are actually unhappy, see how far you can use that degree you have.
3. If you are in a relationship, decide if you are happy in it. If not, make changes. They don't have to be extreme changes. This might be more true if you've been in a relationship for many years, as both of you have probably changed since your early 20's.
4. If you are single or do not have children, start getting out of the house regularly. It is difficult, but worth it. This isn't bad advice with children, just harder, and possibly easier if you involve a child or children in this case.
5. If you have a weird thought that you might be depressed or anxious, get this checked. Or if this doesn't seem to lift after some time and action - or if action seems to be too much - get checked. It won't take care of your problems, but it will make it much more likely that you'll be able to take the action necessary to do them and get yourself un-stuck.
For many users email is a business critical function, the reason we pay other people to do deal with it is because it's a tricky business critical function.

If using yourselves is going to result in problems like this then I fail to see what we'd be paying for.
‘Origami Robot’ Treats Patients Inside the Body
Yep. Hit #1 grossing in the first day, sustained pretty well.
You are talking about enabling insider preview which takes around a day to kick in and offer you the update. Since bash on windows is not included on the stable "branch" you have to go through the hoops to get it. This has nothing to do with the feature itself, which takes even less to install than pulling the Ubuntu image off docker hub.
I suppose that's the price people will pay for needing the latest shiny (React) instead of the now old and boring Ember or AngularJs. And also thinking that the solution that works for Facebook is the one that is the best fit for a small startup, because someday they will reach Facebook's size.

To clarify, I like old and boring because it generates less JavaScript fatigue.

But you can be sure that those who have signed them have also signed provisions agreeing not to disclose them.
And yet nothing much changed in the needs of webapps or in the Javascript language in the past two years.

And if we CAN'T "make decisions today based on the state of things years ago", then we're really screwed.
Overall, sure. In the first week of release, I'd be surprised.

Yeah, I stopped calling it "slavery" because it tends to derail the discussion. However, if you say that slavery gives you "no choice and not much gain" then the jobs are mostly improvement in the second aspect - you still don't have a choice, but you get a bit more in return.
Jeans and T-shirts are so standardized and are produced in such large volumes that developing special-purpose machines for them is justified. Automatic production of everything in the September edition of Vogue is a long way off.
I want to understand more about why you think that pull doesn't scale. Borgmon at Google (the biggest scale ever) worked fine with a pull model, and as far as I know, the successor still pulls, too. A push model also has the problem that now the identity of each instance needs to be known by each instance itself, instead of only by the monitoring system via service discovery (which needs to know about what instances should exist and their identity anyways, otherwise how is it going to let you know that something is wrong?).

We also have an FAQ in Prometheus about why we prefer pull: https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/faq/#why-do-you-pull...?

In my experience, pulling is operationally much nicer than pushing, and I've worked with both. It also gives you somewhat less of an accidental DDoS exposure.
I agree with you completely.

I'll add the point that if all you've ever eaten is the best of the best, you don't really appreciate something as much as if you've experienced the middle or lower ends.

Anecdote: I dry age my own steaks, and I've realized that people don't really appreciate them as much as if they're eaten side by side with a "control" steak that's unaged.

All three of which can be attributed in large part to the Pokemon IP, rather than any other characteristic of the game.
It was released in Japan today.
reCAPTCHA does have an audio option, and it seems to be accessible to screen readers, as detailed in this blog post: http://terrillthompson.com/blog/682

(Tedious disclaimer: my opinion only, not speaking for anybody else. I'm an SRE at Google.)

What you want to be thinking is: all of the attachments including malware. Safebrowsing is an anti-malware system. Large collections of unfiltered email invariably contain malware.

(I can't say much more than that, sorry)
Because it seems that the "survival" part could - and should - be automated away in this day and age. Just like we try and do with all the other boring stuff we don't want to do over and over and over again.
Interestingly, my sense has been that Netflix's recommendation engine does a poorer job now than it did 10 years ago. I always assumed that it was because they used to use fairly straightforward collaborative filtering, and now they seem to be heavily focused on looking for stuff that's somehow cosmetically similar to other stuff I've watched.

So, like, instead of saying, "You liked Nosferatu? Well, other people who liked Nosferatu also liked Ran, so let's suggest that," it now goes, "Hey, that's a vampire movie! How about Blade?"
Why Softbank Is Buying ARM for $32B
This is not a unique problem to Windows, btw. I use tmux with alt + tilde (`) as my modifier key, and most terminal emulators need config changes to allow this.
Somewhat unrelated but: Since the Government is already tapping into wired and wireless networks without consent, it would be nice if they would take control of all ISPs... we would probably get better cellphone service at least.
I agree with everything you've said. I also have been using WSL for the past few months. I can run everything in it that I run on Linux and OS X, which is great. I can now officially run any major operating system and have my zsh and vim setup and ready to go in 10 minutes flat.

As for advantages Windows gives me over Linux, there are two.

1) Visual Studio. Even with all of its warts, it's a better debugging tool than anything linux or mac has to offer.

2) Gaming. Games on linux and OS X are catching up, but they're not there yet. I develop as well as play and Unity3D and Unreal Engine, not to mention the graphics drivers, just work better on windows.

If your monitoring system doesn't have knowledge of what's supposed to be out there (like via service discovery), how do you know when something is broken/down/missing?
My understanding is the CUDA interface is for NVIDIA GPU's only. There are non-CUDA API's for other types of GPU's, but they don't necessarily work out of the box with neural network libraries like Tensorflow yet.
It's not a voluntary contract if you have to sign that contract to survive. At least not "voluntary" in a sense that is meaningful to most people living today.
You may have gotten downvoted to shit, but I thought that was funny!
The problem is not really being overly opinionated. It's being unnecessarily opinionated.

React Starter Kit comes with GraphQL as its API layer. I love GraphQL, and have written tons of it when writing Relay code, but I wouldn't ever expect someone getting up to speed on React to use it.

If I'm using them together, I'll start off a pipeline with a big DT expression, then pipe it through a few dplyr verbs as a kind of "post processing."

I find that some tasks are frustrating with one package but easy with the other, so more frequently I just have some "dplyr lines" and some "data.table lines" in my scripts.

And the compatibility between the two has improved a lot, so you don't get so many "invalid selref" warnings and unexpected behavior when you combine them in pipelines
True. It's also easier to let the regular compiler front end do a lot of the work. Verification can occur after templates have been instantiated, macros have run, types have been determined, structure field offsets have been assigned, and syntax errors have been detected. This gets rid of most ambiguities of working at the source code level.

In the early days of program verification it was popular to work at the source code level, because automatic efforts were trying to emulate what humans were doing by hand. Early programming verification was trying to emulate what mathematicians did. Efforts were made to describe languages axiomatically at the source level. Now that's recognized as both very hard and likely to lead to errors.
