I'm not assuming anything. If you are worried about your spouse taking "your money", then don't marry someone who isn't bringing in a similar amount of money. It's not complex.

This whining about women taking "your money" in a divorce is absurd. Get a prenup or marry someone with as much or more money. If you marry someone with less money (i.e. someone "marrying up") then you are knowingly "marrying down". Don't whine about fairness. This isn't a problem with the courts being "unfair" so much as a problem with people being petty.
I took my laptop to get upgraded to Windows 10 in the store. They claimed I would get a free laptop if they couldn't complete the upgrade that day.

They asked if I had a backup I said no. Then I was told it would take 7 days!! So I made my own backup (2h)

I went back in and asked them to upgrade. They plugged in some USB stick and ran some program. A command console window appeared and the process halted. The tech was confused. A manager looked at it. Then I was told it would take 5 days!! I asked for my free laptop. Oh, sorry you don't qualify cause you Win8 system has some unknown issue. WTF!?

"Sie" has multiple meanings: in addition to the two you mentioned it's also the form of "you" used for strangers/official stuff/... it's usually capitalized in that meaning, and always plural even when talking to only one person. Prepare for lots of confusing moments with the Sie-vs-Du question.

You're gonna have to make a clear distinction between web dev project configuration, and AI for making good choices that optimize meeting sales and marketing goals.

How is your 'project codebase markup' any different from filling in some radio buttons on a template generator or a CMS?
That's a closed primary, but not all states have them.
The approach they took looks to be fundamentally wrong. If they had started with some solid base templates and made some parts changeable depending on the content, they would have had a product that came close to what they promised.

AP Gives Air Time to Mass Shooter from 50 Years Ago
You are right. Normally in these spoofs Hitler reacts to some outside force shattering his dreams. The outside force usually being a corporation producing a movie or video game, the dreams shattered being his expectations of that movie or video game. In this instance he is just ridiculing his generals and I guess the general Docker community.

If the meme was applied properly it would be Hitler himself who set up the Docker cluster, and the generals informing him of the ways it failed. His monologue would be about his own expectations of the greatness of Docker and how the Docker team or cgroups abstractions failed him.

The difference is subtle, but it's definitely true that in this application Hitler is not ridiculed, which makes the whole bit more awkward and less funny.
I wonder if the author is discussing the culture of intellectualism rather than being "bright" per se.

Not that this point contradicts anything in the article. You can still wish your children had inherited your cultural posture.

Currently using it to write a small OpenGL wrapper which intends to remove the explicit binding (and remove redundant binds under the hood), as well as make data definitions declarative, this is part of my plan to make a XNA-like gamedev lib for D, so I can make games in my favourite language! (https://github.com/profan/gland/blob/feature/compute/example...)

It's still a bit awful and lacking most of what I want to support with it, but even in early days, it feels promising.

Was working on a small 2D game engine earlier, but got snagged on that working with OpenGL was so horrible generally that I figured I could utilize D's metaprogramming abilities to well, improve the experience. (got inspired by rust's glium)

Hopefully I'll actually complete it.
Not exactly.

I have a family member that is very feminist, and homosexual.

and another family member, that is evangelical and very faithful.

This made me have close contact with both groups, I even loaned my apartment (when I had one), to a group of friends of the the homosexual feminist person, they were going to a party in the city where I lived, and lived in another city.

So, talking with both groups, it became clear to me, that HIV spread is not related to political belief directly, but related to how much sex (And the kind of sex) a person has.

Even among women, anal sex spread HIV faster, the evangelical group I knew, think anal sex is a sin (even heterosexual).

Meanwhile, the politically liberal group, believe sex should not be tied to marriage and monogamy, and some people in the group have lots of sex.

Of course, if you have more sex, and with more risky ways, you get more HIV.

Discrimination, has nothing to do with it (even because homosexualism here is not completely "underground" anymore, there are harsh laws against discrimination of any kind, and civil unions with gays is already allowed, with now the government thinking about authorizing gay marriage or not).

One of the interesting things to keep in mind is that these new Xeon Phi cards can be used as standalone CPUs, not just as PCIe cards like a GPU. This is the "self-hosted mode" the article talks about. So one can now think about comparing a lone Xeon Phi doing both jobs versus a CPU plus an NVidia GPU.
For me the article boils down to this:

> No, hear me out. See, Linux users don’t care how much easier we say it is in our non-Linux worlds. Sure, they say it’s because of open access and free as in scotch ale and yadda yadda yadda, but really? They like the challenge.

This statement is completely unsubstanicated. If you don't agree with it, don't bother reading the article, it all henges on it.
Just to underscore this point.

This particular co-workers slacking might be annoying, but there will be entire departments that might strike you as useless in the future. (They might even work hard, but you might think that they are aimed at the wrong goal.)
I used to do exactly that, and switched to DSC a couple of months ago. It's a little bit more spendy (I use their most expensive, $10/month option), but it is also vastly more comfortable on the skin. No regrets so far.

I only wish they offered an option to get fewer blades. The only option right now is 4/month, but after some experimentation, I think 3 or even 2 would work fine.

Show HN: Serverless Single Page Applications
Please check out out project, Lite Engine[1], a Backend as a Service web application platform. We provide everything you need to rapidly prototype and deploy your single page applications: static file hosting for your html, css, javascript and other assets, a subdomain on our site, security with https, and a 'create your own API' with SQL over CORS and JSON. I think of this as "geocities with a CORS backend".

For your backend we've developed a system we call API Queries. You'll define SQL queries, save them on the backend, then execute them with http post requests that return JSON responses. There are obviously a lot of pros and cons to this 'stored procedure' approach. Please chime in with your thoughts below!

Right now we're offering free accounts while we gauge interest. We plan to offer custom domains with paid accounts. What this means is when you signup for a free account, you will get a 'myapp.lite-engine.com' domain, with a paid account, we'll host your 'www.myapp.com' site, secured with Let's Encrypt certs.

All feedback appreciated!

The editorial author writes:

> Using the traditional FBI definition, the EU and the U.S. each experienced 25 mass shootings during the first seven years of Obama’s presidency (January 2009 to December 2015).

where

> the FBI defines a mass public shooting as four or more deaths in a public place that are not part of some other crime, such as a robbery

Mother Jones has a list of US mass shootings from 1982-2016 at http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/mass-shootings-m... .

I count 27 mass shootings in that time period.

> But other advanced countries such as France, Switzerland, Finland, Belgium and the Czech Republic also came in above the U.S.

That's falls into the "lies, damned lies, and statistics" category. It is not statistically valid to make these comparisons.

http://www.charlespetzold.com/blog/2015/07/De-Obfuscating-th... works through the problem using a better statistical model, and comes to the conclusion that the US rate per capita is about 4x that of the OECD average. I will quote the conclusion from that piece:

> To get meaningful information from data concerning mass shootings, it is necessary to be aware of statistical fluctuations that result from an insufficient numbers of incidents. Once that is done, it becomes obvious that the rate of mass shootings in the United States is significantly higher than the other OECD countries.

> Of course, this isn't an academic exercise. Nobody will be surprised to learn that there is political motivation behind these attempts to demonstrate that the United States doesn't have horrendous incidences of mass shootings and other gun crimes. If the United States has levels of gun violence comparable with the rest of the world, there is certainly no need for gun-safety legislation.

> Our political arena is open enough to debate these issues. But the debate should not involve the abuse of statistics. If people are opposed to gun-safety legislation, they should own the consequences of that opposition rather than try to hide those consequences behind a bogus interpretation of statistics.

> Actual lives are at stake.

Its fun just to try and list the cultural clashes in the article, like the linked author tried to include as many as possible.

My school age kids use ipads as their primary computer at school and that carries over into home use. No matter what the linked article's author experienced as a professional journalist as "normal", to today's kids the ipad will be the new "normal". Maybe they'll be a human interest article in a decade about trying to use old fashioned desktops and laptops to do real work, instead of professional tablets that everyone uses.

Much like linux is useless on the desktop because no matter how many desktops its deployed and used upon, if it can't run Excel2013 then the small segment of the population that uses that software will never shut up about it being useless to everyone because its useless to them until their itch is scratched. Just like a skyscraper without parking for every employee is obviously useless because over 90% of the countries population drives cars to work. You just can't argue with special snowflakes who refuse to acknowledge they're special snowflakes.

There is a side dish that when I got started with computers in 1981 the UI was not user friendly and almost everyone was a noob, and now we have no noobs left but the UIs are all weird and exclusively noob focused. Its a stereotype that any discussion of "ease of use" WRT computers isn't a discussion about actual use, its a discussion about fads and styles in UI design and 99% of everything has been tried, heavily promoted, and discarded in the past. Therefore its unsurprising that today's standard sucks because UIs have always sucked and always will. That makes all this "easier" "harder" stuff just nonsense. Merely different ways to do things. In the linked article he doesn't like which directory in dropbox Byword links to, blah blah who cares. For all past and present and eternity it'll always be possible to complain about UIs and its completely content free.

Neue Rechtschreibung makes things simpler when learning the language. It's only hard to internalize the changes, but esier when learning from scratch. It brings spelling and pronunciation in line. For example, daß doesn't make any sense if you know that "ß" is preceded by a long vowel whereas "ss" (as n the new spelling, dass) is preceded by a short one.

Others have already noted that the other things you mentioned may not be as bad as they seem to you.

They identified the site by specifying its IP address, but there's no magic to that.

The email did come to an address which is not the domain registration address which indicates perhaps that a human is involved at least in terms of determining the correct address to contact.

The threat says it will do a demonstration DOS to prove it is a real threat and says to look in the web server log to see activity - no action yet - but it still might come.

As someone who has programmed both Phis and conventional x86 CPUs, I can confirm that the Phi is more sensitive to data traversal order and NUMA effects on which core accesses which memory. Also, the latest generation (Knights Landing) has much better performing cores than the previous generation.

My understanding is that there's a fairly wide range of assumptions that can underlie a given model, which depend on what we will actually do about this. For example, how do you estimate CO2 output over the course of the next century? Do you assume that it remains at current levels, or keeps growing at the same rate it has been so far, or that whatever treaties were signed that promise to reduce it actually will?
Most of the people I know use the internal speakers on their phones extensively, and hardly ever use audio over either Bluetooth or the 3.5mm jack. In this case, how would battery life be improved. The DAC and amplifier cannot be removed unless the on board speaker is also. I hope this is not the case.
Let's re-think whether those people are really our best minds.
True, I should have said it better as, programming languages are written for compilers to read, and they're not very smart. Machine language is written for computers themselves. Computer-formalized math I don't think is written for anyone to read.
Non-profit consumer-owned collectives like Vanguard, you mean? How is that working out for them?
I think it depends heavily on what you're using your computer for.

One of my parents owns both an iPad and a laptop, and the laptop barely sees any use anymore. He's got a keyboard case, and, while I hate that keyboard, he's perfectly happy with it. Email and browsing are about equally good on iPad as they are on a computer. Browsing might even be better what with the no flash. It plays video games & runs Netflix, and that's about all that matters. I don't think he cares two beans about multitasking. The iOS office apps may or may not be good enough; the last time he cared about document editing was pre-retirement so I don't know that he's really put them to the test.

Challenging? Nah. I'm pretty sure he settled into it because, for him, it's easier.
It doesn't tell the story of the company, how it runs, the disruption in its industry? Was it not true to the headline?

I guess the big mental requirement there is the ability (on all command levels) to understand strategy and translate it into tactics, and to change from one tactic to another in order to achieve the same strategic goal. This was what Helmuth von Moltke (Chief of Staff of the Prussian Military) coined as "No plan survives contact with the enemy" (paraphrased).

The battle between top-down and bottom-up management styles is still pretty alive in most companies, I guess.
It's not just water level that affects quality of life. If, say, LA and SF become as hot as Dubai, I would imagine a lot of wealthy people who currently live there would start seeking a more comfortable place to live in. South Europe would be similarly affected.

The article is not actually about desktop Linux. The author tries to draw an analogy, it does not actually matter much whether it resonates.

The article boils down to: using an iPad for your day to day tasks is possible but so restrictive you might wonder why people would try to. Much like many people try (tried) to use Linux for day to day tasks and found it is (was) too restrictive.

I myself can't argue. My current main os is NixOS and I've found it usable but as a newbie much more restrictive than for example Ubuntu or Arch. Would I recommend it? Would you like to use the next generation of more perfect operating systems? Only if you like a bit of a challenge..

I don't know why, but I get really frustrated at the negative sentiment around and apologetics for negotiation.

>I’m the first to admit that negotiation is stupid. It’s a practice that inherently benefits those who are good at it, and is an absurd axis on which to reward people. But it’s a reality of our economic system.

When incentives are opposed (like me wanting good wages, and companies wanting to pay me at little as possible, all else being equal), negotiation seems like the only way to decide how to reach an agreement. Of course it inherently benefits people who are good at it! Those benefits are the things they are negotiating!

Instead of calling it an absurd axis to use to reach mutually agreeable terms, why can't we accept that negotiation is how reach those terms?

Well, if it weren't the case and you had that core count without compromise, Phis would have come along a lot sooner with a price tag to match :)

Did you happen to use the Knight's Corner or the new Knight's Landing variant? I'd be quite interested to know how KL stacks up, as naively from the specs it seems like it should be a lot more tolerant with code (but not poor memory access patterns).
And you shouldn't have to declare a party, or at least forced to.
It's is rather silly for Phi to be positioned as "it's just like x86, oh wait except for needing to use special SIMD instructions to get max performance". Kind of like Atom being x86 for ultra mobile platforms, just not being able to match the power/performance of ARM. Once you start sacrificing things to maintain x86 compatibility, you really loose its benefits.
I think it would be interesting to see the amount of productivity people lose using their iPads.

In my experience my iPad means I am using my laptop a lot less, but it's taking me more time to do the same things I did on the laptop on my iPad.

Then would know that visual question answering performs quite poorly. It makes for a nice demo, but it's trivial/quick/easy to find entire areas of questions where the models completely. The questions have to be worded very carefully. The models are quite finnicky and dumb. For example, dynamic memory nets aren't the state of the art - the state of the art for these datasets doesn't use anything nearly as complicated as memory, etc.
It is essential to balance work with play. So you should not feel bad to play video games from time to time.

But if you're always doing things that involve a lot of thinking (work, study) it may be good to balance that with exercise or creating things with your hands.

If your work is not very exciting and it's unlikely to change then you may need to consider changing jobs.

Manhattan Project, and similar massive infrastructure/engineering/scientific developments, are possible because there is a single government that can drive them.

To do something like that on a multinational scale, you'll need One World Government. Otherwise you'll just have a bunch of nations bickering over who is paying for what, and who is gaining what in return, without a final arbiter to break up ties and deadlocks and say "okay, you all had a say, now we're doing it this way".
I have a strong dislike towards dubbed versions where I'm capable of understanding the original. I've only seen the dubbed (German) version of The Bridge and it was excellent. Very captivating and I thin the voice actress did a great job. Obviously I can't compare to the original.

Some English -> German dubs which are said to be very good include most of the Monty Python stuff (believe it or not) and The Big Lebowksy.
