Interesting. I'll admit, my original goal was that the bots' code could also be overwritten by others, but that's not possible per the spec:

9.4.3. Jump Destination Validity. We previously used D
as the function to determine the set of valid jump destinations
given the code that is being run. We define this
as any position in the code occupied by a JUMPDEST instruction.
All such positions must be on valid instruction boundaries,
rather than sitting in the data portion of PUSH
operations and must appear within the explicitly defined
portion of the code (rather than in the implicitly defined
STOP operations that trail it).

I didn't consider implementing another spec though. Theoretically, should be possible, but I'll have to think about it some more!
Really? How so? And of what?
Sorry for the confusion!

This was actually only added to underline that there's nothing like [1] in this project. Will improve the README.

This sounds to me like yet another form of tribalism. I get that people may become annoyed when the world appears to be shifting its loyalties away from their tribe towards someone else's, but no good will come of deciding that the skinnies and the fatties are natural enemies, and are responsible for the others' ills.
If anything that makes everything more complicated. However the upside is that it's less to type now and a bit less confusing for users.
Yes, this!

"Tipping isn't obligatory" -- yes, it kind of is. Uber used to bar drivers
form asking, but they recently lost a lawsuit over that rule and so now Uber
drivers will occasionally ask for tips (which will cause it to slowly become
the norm).

I'm pretty sure I was recently given a low rating by a driver on Uber because I didn't tip. From my perspective the ride went perfectly fine, and I wasn't even asked for a tip, but I checked my rating later and it went down from the perfect 5.0 I used to have.

If this becomes the norm, tipping will become mandatory because all the drivers will know who tips and who doesn't and will adjust service (or lack of service) accordingly.
...You do know that was the joke he was making, right?
It is a double edged sword. Sure there are companies that abuse say...unlimited vacation (not all do),but I could never go back to the standard two weeks that most Midwest companies do. There's also worse treatment in many ways for employees since there simply aren't as many good job options, or options period in some cases. Companies take advantage of this accordingly.
The Uber driver probably made more because Uber is spending VC money to build both sides of its market to achieve a monopoly, from which (once achieved) it can extract rents to pay investors back (at least, that's the plan.)

This is the case in every country I have ever been. If you read a travel guide for any country it might say that tips are usually given to taxi drivers, restaurant staff etc, but only in the US has zero tipping almost become equivalent to not paying the tab in full.

Also, when I go to the US with 5-10 year intervals the norms for tipping seem to have always crept upwards.
> Unlike Uber and its crosstown rival Lyft Inc., both of which largely operate as on-demand taxi businesses, Waze wants to connect riders with drivers who are already headed in the same direction.

Funny because that is Lyft's (né Zimride) original model. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
This has been one of my biggest issues when people write illegible but supposedly lightning quick code. The biggest bottle-neck in software isn't language quirks, but the person reading your code when it breaks.

Also, when Google or whoever decides to update the engine and compiles things differently, these hacks might become less efficient than just following best practices.
It's so strange to me how people in this country seem to share a common expectation that an adult should be a productive member of society, but have no expectations about being a healthy member of society. The amount of taxpayer money spent on providing treatment for type II diabetes alone is staggering, and even the amount that isn't paid by the government is paid by insurance, so still amortized across the population:

"Most of the cost for diabetes care in the U.S., 62.4%, is provided by government insurance"

I guess there is no right answer to a question of nomenclature, but "startup" is a useful term and probably shouldn't be applied all young businesses.

The opposite kind of small business, to me, is the "organic" company which funds growth out of earnings.

This is quite aside from our like or dislike for startups.

Linux is the kernel. The semantics of this can be argued all day, but the kernel is not the operating system. It is simply the tiny piece of software that allows processes to run and manages memory and hardware access. The operating system is the whole collection of software that allows the User to manage their system. It necessarily includes the kernel, but it is much more than just that one component.

I don't consider ChromeOS to be a Linux desktop any more than I consider my Android smartphone to be a Linux desktop, or an iPhone to be a BSD system. They happen to share a kernel, but that's really where the similarities end as an end user.

FBI Warned State Election Board Systems of Hacks
No doubt. I've even encountered somebody who stomped his feet and said they weren't going to write test code for QA because that was beneath them.

I think that's because the entire industry devalues both QA/testing and maintenance. Even in places that aren't the Valley these two roles are given a lower social status than other developer roles. The budgets and recognition for teams in both domains is typically much smaller than others, and QA especially is usually among the first on the chopping block during a retrenchment.

We as a whole have made these roles seem less valuable and less values, so to me it's not surprising that folks don't want to do them.
that's pretty interesting. any theories on the underlying cultural differences that explain it, or just different established customs?

all the (many) wait-people here in the states i've known really dislike it, and it's generally considered either clueless, rude, or stingy not to tip at least 15%.

i'm curious about things like:

1. if you go out with your friends to the pub, and don't tip on your bill, are you friends giving you shit about it or otherwise commenting or silently judging?

2. if you were on a date, would she notice and judge if you tipped poorly? (i know many women for whom it would be an instant deal-breaker here, essentially a social signal of many other undesirable traits)
You can have such dispute mechanisms without ISDS (most trade-agreements have them, long before ISDS existed).
If that's the case, how does Apple have such an effectively low tax rate?
Great news. As a PT worker at one of the articles mentioned companies, I know there is considerable demand for rides to and from the retailer. This could be huge if employees shift from dial-taxis or uber to "co-workers" via waze.

Please add the changes that resulted from Brian Smith's (of Mozilla) blog post 'Proposal to Change the Default TLS Ciphersuites Offered by Browsers' [1] -- the post dates to August 2013.

This was a very impactful proposal that changed the way browsers preferred ciphersuites. But it also removed some lesser-used ciphersuites based off of telemetry [2], including the block cipher Camellia, which was the only other modern block cipher in TLS after AES.

I wish I had that information! Alas, I do not. I'm going to guess that a lot of the offending scenes can be cut out of the movie with no actual effect on storyline. I did get the impression that it is more that the filming had to be natural in the situation, and not necessarily that the brands being used were common. If the scene was such that Any phone being used would have seemed natural in the scene, then it'd be allowed. Random shots of vehicles, obvious scenes shot to include a computer logo, focusing out on a character only to have the soda on the table come into focus might not be allowed.

I love that people are thinking about how technology interacts with the user, since we're terrible enough at that still, but there's another aspect that this kind of thinking doesn't recognize, where we're arguably even worse- how technology interacts with non-users.

Unless we're shut up in our own private rooms (and often enough, even then) we're all constantly getting the "Status Shouts" of devices completely unrelated to us. Is a truck down the street from your window set in reverse? You'll know. Did someone down the hall leave their cellphone unattended on their desk? You'll find out if they get a call. Goodness forbid that you share a building with someone who doesn't change the batteries in their smoke alarms! All of these are okay design decisions when considering one device and one human user, but in an environment where there can dozens of humans and thousands of devices in a city block, they become drastically less apt.
I think the critical insight here is that Stallman’s vision of software freedom dates to a time when software was contained. You could walk away from that PDP-11 and the choices you made there didn’t follow you home in your pocket or give a world full of bored assholes an attack surface for your entire life.

How practical could it be to have laws against trolling? There are online groups who have rules against doxxing, who seem to be able to enforce them. I don't think it would unduly contravene free speech, if public spaces on the internet assumed consent to communication between individuals, with the option of individuals revoking consent. This would be analogous to what people do in public spaces. Then the act of creating a throwaway account on Twitter to continue harassment would be analogous to continue to harass someone in real life. There would be exceptions, but generally, this would be definable and enforceable. (And I would also say, it would be more constructive than picking a figurehead like Milo Yiannopoulos and banning him as a scapegoat. Even if enforcement could only catch a few people.)

I've been where you are, at a failing company and not knowing what to do.

In my case the company failed, my options where worthless and I ended up moving to another company and that one failed with in a year and my severance pay was a company lunch. It all worked out. I got a new job and things are ok.

My advice, save as much money as you can and look for a new position. Don't be in a hurry to accept a new job without some research but don't wait. Try to make the new job a step up or something that gives you joy. Even if you have to take a small pay cut. Lateral moves won't cut it in IT. Eventually your age will show and tech companies don't want to hire old people unless they are in management or can guide the company into profit and growth. If you've been in tech for a while you've seen this. I don't have to prove it. It's all over the place. Look at your company which way does the average employee age skew? It's not toward the fifties.

Don't feel bad. Over the years I've learned a company is not a family. It's a TEAM and the company's needs comes first. You have to look at in similar terms so your needs come first.

Good Luck!
That's reasonable.

I do try to avoid basing arguments on the concept of offense, because there seem to be a lot of people for whom that is a red flag that terminates the possibility of further meaningful discussion, and also because I have some qualms of my own around the way it's used in modern discourse.

I nonetheless feel I should apologize for having, apparently without justice, taken you to be such a person, and felt it necessary as a result to argue with more care, and more circumlocution, than the situation apparently required. I'm sorry for that. Thanks for not being that guy.
One of the saddest conversations I've ever had was with a two-time assistant professor who had just been denied tenure (second chance is the last).

A mutual friend had referred him to me for advice on how to transition to industry. I gave him a pep-talk and explained how to build a portfolio to show skills that matter in the workplace. I think he turned things around, but for a little while he couldn't stop thinking about the "wasted" years. PhD, postdoc(s), 3-5 years of assistantship, repeated once, ... it's a tragedy for such a smart, capable person to succeed so much and yet feel like they failed.
Hi Trevor - Nice to see you here. :)

For data parallelism, we have a simple wrapper that covers as many GPUs as you want in one box. For more than one box, we use Spark, and the integration is explained here:

http://deeplearning4j.org/spark

The description for multi-GPUs is through this link: http://deeplearning4j.org/gpu under the subhead "Multi-GPU data parallelism".

The code is here:
https://github.com/deeplearning4j/deeplearning4j/blob/77b836...

We're almost done testing on DGX's now, like the one you have at OpenAI, and once we work a bit more with RDMA-enabled hardware, we'll go Sparkless for that.

That's how we're hoping to get academic HW acceleration into production environments.

In September, we plan to come out with a Scala API inspired by Keras/Torch, which will also share a neural net config file with Keras and allow model imports into DL4J.

> They then expected Facebook not to correlate this data with others who contact and visit the same doctor. Why not?

Because that would be a dick move.

But clearly that is not enough to dissuade companies from doing this kind of thing, because they have no morals.

And that is the crux of the problem. They don't give a shit what would be considered "reasonable behaviour" for a human being, because they are just giant correlating machines with access to data they shouldn't have been given access to by people who don't know better.

At the end of the day, we are allowed to have reasonable expectations of others, including companies, so I take issue with any implication that they should have known better. We are allowed to have these reasonable expectations. And we will be constantly disappointed. But we should maintain them, I might even say that it is a duty to do so.

Saying "they should have known better" is giving up the fight prematurely. They shouldn't have to know better. They should be able to expect that their privacy (a right) will not be violated.

It is an ideal, not a reality, but it is something to work towards. One step might be to sue the hell out of Facebook for this.
Agree with all of your points. SourceTree nowadays does not select by default (at least my setup doesn't) but it's still far from optimal.

WinMerge? On Windows? I'm using beyond compare which is pretty nice when correctly configured, tortoise internal diff ain't bad either. Both have three way diff which I consider standard for any diff tool. Jetbrains indeed get a lot of things right. Using their resharper (visual studio), webstorms and itellij ultimate versions. They make amazing products.

When I was younger and financially unstable, I had a decision to make. Take a crappy restaurant job or live out of my car. I chose to live out of my car. Every time I hear the argument that people in the restaurant industry are getting unfair pay, I ask myself, "I wonder who made that decision to work there in the first place"

Stop this bullshit tipping. These people made a choice and then chose to complain about it.

Also, this only seems to occur with FOH employees in the restaurant industry. You don't really hear BOH employees (you know, the people who actually do the work of cooking your food) complain.
I think the case that trips people up is using HttpClient in an ASP.NET MVC controller action. There, it doesn't look like a loop, but if you create/dispose on each request, you can get socket exhaustion under load.
Yes, I think the 'Not invented here' syndrome has reached epidemic proportions - Especially within open source communities where a lot of people create stuff from scratch just for the fun of it.

When I read the article announcing Docker v1.12, it was riddled with enthusiasm - That's a red flag - This rarely happens in our industry.

Working on open source is not like working in a startup; it's not like riding a roller coaster; it's more like riding the metro - You spend most of your time underground and when you finally arrive at your destination, the slow ascent up the escalator is rarely that exciting.
Those are built into the operating system, not the browser.

My point is that not everyone has those features out of the box. Sure, you can install more software, but it's not a reason to not have a feature like that in this word processor.
Possibly, but I'd say it probably comes closer to matching the (relative) level of effort required to create an average piece of content for each platform. Video vs short video/image vs text.
