Apologies for being stupid but this does not make sense to me:

while [ true ];do ssh user@62.141.55.117; sleep 0.1; done

Is this the same as writing:

while test true; do ...; done

Then this would also work:

while [ false ]; do ...; done

But if the plan is to use the keyboard e.g. INT to stop this loop, why test anything? One could just write:

while :; do ...; done

I look at the Recommended section daily, and I find it very disappointing for several reasons:

- the recommendations are very often not interesting to me because
+ they cater to the lowest common denominator (you won't believe these 10 hilarious fails, PewDiePie picks his nose, etc.)
+ I have already watched the video
+ a video has been in the Recommended section for weeks and I haven't clicked on it. What makes you think I'll change my mind after several weeks? If I don't click a video within a couple of days of it appearing in the section, it's a dud. Don't keep showing it
+ the video is from a channel I am already subscribed to. That's not a recommendation, it's trivial and not helpful
+ most or all of the videos in the section are sometimes matching the same key word. I once clicked on an Amy Schumer video, and for many days every video in the Recommended section was a Schumer video. This is terrible. The same thing happened after I clicked a Craig Ferguson video.

- the feedback UI is not streamlined. I have to click through multiple menus to be able to say: not interested in this channel

- there should be list of key words that I can specify where if the video matches one of them, don't add it to the section. Conversely, there should be a list of key words that when I specify them, the recommendation engine goes out and looks for videos matching them, and then adds some of them to the section

I love watching interesting and creative how-to videos (DiResta, Tested, etc.), but even after several years of watching them, the recommendation engine seems to not have caught on to that.

Is the deep learning approach already deployed for regular users? I have not seen a change in the quality of the recommendations.

Sorry to sound so negative, but I think this is a huge wasted opportunity. There is tons of amazing content on youtube, and it's often very hard to find.
Thanks! This model handles new users gracefully because it can fallback to demographic/geographic priors and gradually specialize as the user watches videos. New items are difficult because of the fixed output vocabulary and batch training. In practice, this model is best suited for the head of the distribution and other specialized recommenders handle extremely fresh/low viewcount items. Feature engineering is key for new content during the ranking phase.
Thanks -- this works! Too bad it's totally non-discoverable.

Yeah, I've had this enabled for years.
Your premise is flawed. It's not about deserving a job, it's about equal treatment under the law.

For example, you don't have to have a quota of certain demographic makeup legally, you just cannot have dismissed a candidate predominantly for the purposes of age or race.

Isn't one way to ensure your continuing relevance to avoid managerial positions? In my experience a lot of older people are less attractive employees because after 10 years of management their skills are very generic and hard to specify.
Quality time costs money. A potential problem is that the majority of teachers are adjuncts who are not full time employees, and who are likely to be working multiple jobs in order to make ends meet. Not only does catching cheaters take effort, but pursuing it to the point of disciplining a student can be a nightmare for the teacher if their department doesn't support them.

When I taught an electrical engineering class, the prof with whom I shared a syllabus and exams, made the exam problems look a lot like the homework problems. The kids who (probably) cheated on their homework lessons paid for it on the exams.

Perhaps likewise for the humanities courses. In my own experience, writing essays and term papers for the regular course assignments was what got me so I could write a decent essay quickly during a "blue book" exam. I don't know any way other than sheer physical practice, to learn how to do that. You can't pay someone else to practice for you.

Asking the stupid question here, but why create a new Apache project for this?

Apache Arrow seems to be targeting the use of SIMD which is a very JVM/Runtime dependent feature. If the runtime can't detect this out-of-the-box then create recognized method or some sort of intrinsic to coax the runtime to SIMD-ize the operation.

I understand the performance gains of this but why not add this functionality to existing projects like Parquet or HTable etc...

This just comes to mind: https://xkcd.com/927/
The problem with doing otherwise is that you give people very little opportunity to ever be sincere. They're locked into a confirmation bias trap with no way out unless you allow it.

And one can read just as easily that the other party seems hurt by the rejection. I would not readily assume that he can't read that either.

This may not be a court of law, but I always try to think twice before I judge people. It's almost always the wrong approach, at least in my experience, and I certainly haven't always been on the right side of that.

In the end, you don't win anything by being right about this kind of thing and I know it's way too easy for me to do all the things I hate seeing others do :(

If you're depressed, worry about yourself first and foremost. In other words, you don't need a partner to be "happy" (i.e. not depressed), believe me.

Make sure your basic needs are taken care of:

- In general: Stay busy.

- Socialize (this could mean dating, hobbies, sports, etc.)

- Exercise (you'll feel better physically, and more confident)

- Get enough good sleep

- Consider therapy (really!) if the depression is incessant

All that said, here are some actionable things that might help you meet someone:

Pick up a sport/outdoor hobby. Go with a friend or two. Make more friends.

Try OKCupid. YMMV, but the ability to go into great detail has lead me to way fewer "false positives" than some other more popular, somewhat more superficial alternatives...

Finally, go on more dates.

No, even more dates. Go on one a week, if you can. It might sound crazy (or impossible), but it'll help, I promise.

Make the most of it; you'll learn more about what you actually want from a partner, and if you're friendly and positive you'll probably enjoy the socializing even if things don't work out, romantically.

As far as "how to act around women"; just be yourself. Be open about what you're looking for and how you feel about dating. Sure, some people might be put off by this, but the sort of person you want to attract will appreciate your honesty and you'll be able to connect a lot more easily if all your cards are on the table.

It'll be like night and day when you do connect with someone. When this happens, don't panic: just say how you feel. You wont scare away anyone who feels remotely the same.
> Why do older people deserve jobs?

This is begging the question from the outset. Jobs aren't handed out like a treat for good behaviour; they're not something you deserve or not. Unless someone else is taking care of you, you have to work in order to remain alive.
There are several sources of heat on Jupiter but the one being studied by this mission is the result of the very large magnetic field around Jupiter's generating auroras that are several times larger than the diameter of Earth.

[edit] Original statement wasn't completely accurate, as it does study the auroras, but they are generated by the planet itself. The solar wind doesn't reach the atmosphere of Jupiter.
The first two bullet points on your list are very specific to an american perspective. As a dutchman I do not consider these scammy markets whatsoever.
Try none of the above! There is no "large scale movement" that I can see, this literally only exists in your imagination. If you say something that pisses people off, you could blame their negative reaction on (1) some abstract "movement" that is brainwashing people on a large scale, or (2) you could be voicing an unpopular opinion, or (3) you could be deeply wrong in whatever this truth is that you feel like you can't say. Just because someone takes exception to something you say doesn't mean that there's some grand conspiracy to silence you, although I'm sure believing that makes you feel better about yourself.
Emulation has been used for mainframe line-of-business type stuff for quite a while, perhaps the longest. But games get much more attention since emulating the system is an extremely popular way to preserve access to the experience. That said not all systems are made equal, and high accuracy treatments of old consoles(e.g. bsnes/Higan) can also be heavyweight.
Of course you can. Consider the sequence of rational numbers in (0,1). Now consider the sequence of rational numbers in (0,1]. The latter has had an extra term appended.

(This is of course flawed, but I think it illustrates that the question isn't completely trivial. It requires us to carefully distinguish between the notion of an ordered set and a sequence and even then we'll have to deal with the fact that the rationals can be made into a sequence, but not with the same ordering.)
Blockchain hype: why much of it is nothing more than snake oil and spin

OP, it's very easy to develop this kind of attitude after several unsuccessful attempts at intimacy, but this is awful advice that will keep you from ever being happy. This is not a societal problem, it's a personal problem that you just haven't found the right person yet. As other people on this thread have said, honestly reflect on what hasn't been working and why. Work on yourself first and foremost so that you are confident in yourself regardless of what others have thought of you in the past. You can totally find a woman that has the qualities you are looking for, not what some resentful throwaway told you to look for.
The State of JavaScript: Front-End Frameworks —a Few Preliminary Results
> I personally know many newbies who find it extremely hard to dive into the React/Redux realm because there is a serious learning curve.

As opposed to… classical OO frameworks where it's easy to dive in and build something that no one in the can maintain six months later? The failing in this this scenario is actually exactly the same as in javascript's unopinionated tools:

Training.

I wouldn't expect a new developer to be adequately prepared to contribute effectively to any system and in some cases I wouldn't expect an experienced developer to contribute effectively to a complex system that they are new to. So what do we do? We standardize training. A walk through the code base that every new developer partakes in upon joining the team. Required reading, a document detailing the architecture of the system with pointers to files which implement the pieces which are critical to understand and code reviews.

Another critical part of training, or perhaps just learning how to get around the world in general, is that at some point you have make a call and use what's right for you. Here's the kicker: this decision that so many want someone else to make for them, the down sides of making that decision poorly aren't that bad. Don't want to spend time forming your own opinions about how to go about using otherwise unopinionated tools? There are opinionated tools for you! Ember and Angular are both great frameworks. If they happen to be wrong for your application will the project just flat out fail? No, of course not. It'll get done. You'll bend the rules(which are only opinions) in a few places and get what you want in the end.

I'm a React user myself but my experience has given me the understanding and empathy to know that it's not for everyone. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is truly new to JS or software engineering in general. I'd hand them something that would guide them up the ladder.
It's disingenuous, at best, to style a system as "anonymous" when it's providing only a very limited sort of anonymity. Consider the dispute between the FBI etc and Apple over backdooring iPhone encryption. By the logic that you propose here, Apple could claim secure device encryption even with backdoors.

Indeed, claims about anonymity are a red flag for bullshit. Because it's so nontrivial. And because failure tends to be calamitous.
I think the problem was, that they had to implement new features for the clients only supporting the old version, too. At this point you are left with a HTTP wrapper around your old software, which does not qualify as a rewrite.

This is totally preposterous logic. It's very easy to commit many very serious crimes, like murder and rape. Ability to carry out an act has nothing to do with its morality.
A tool -- a knife, say -- is merely a chunk of inert metal. It has no inherent meaning whatsoever.

It is meaningful only insofar as it is placed into a social context. Any meaning is in the observers' minds, not in the tool itself.

Your personality. However much you make, it's not important. If you're not confident about the shape you're in, work on yourself. Address your faults, identify exactly the kind of woman you are looking for and figure out how to put yourself in the best place and position to find someone like that.
I really liked this post because it painted why JavaScript is a good language to use across so many projects. I've always loved node.js despite the many quirks but enjoy getting to use it for nearly every aspect of work. I'm hoping arduino will support JavaScript directly in the near future as well!
Volunteer. Volunteer. Volunteer.

Church, homeless shelter, camp counselor, big brother program, soccer, etc. I signed up and helped out wherever I could. WHY? Because I suspected that I'd be more likely to find a partner who wasn't into themselves.

If you can qualify your potential partner as someone who is willing to sacrifice and able to love others, that is a good signal that they are willing to humble themselves to love you. And let me say, you'll need it. For a relationship to survive it will take sacrifice, humbleness, and commitment. Because life dishes out some serious bullshit.

When my brother suddenly passed away I'd have easily fallen into drugs. I didn't really want to live because my depression was so deep. My wife stuck it out with me. She'd never admit it, but she knows that she is the one for me. Hands down. And she didn't have to dominate me. She loved me when I hated myself. She said I was valuable when I couldn't find any. I love her so much for that.

So my advice? Step outside yourself and volunteer. And don't go seeking a partner. Just go and love other people. Love those who are weaker than you. Honor those who are needy and easily exploited. When you do that, people will know. They'll see.

I can't promise a relationship (though those who have followed my advice tend to find one) but I can promise that if you approach it honestly, you will no longer feel alone. And that at least will be a start to solving your loneliness problem.

Best of luck!
>As it turns out, he did get his day in social court

Unfortunately they're certainly more concerned with publicity and image rather than considering the evidence objectively. Which is the problem here.

>What kind of behaviour would justify social censure, exactly?

To me, not much. I honestly can't think of anything off the top of my head that should warrant "social censure" that wouldn't rise to the level of criminal behavior. One of the problems is that social censure does not inherently recognize proportionality. And so once the mob is unleashed, it often reacts far more than is warranted. We invented the notion of a judicial system precisely because of this problem. We should not be retreating back to mob justice now.

We need to accept that we cannot provide justice or retribution for all forms of bad and unjust behavior.
A broken Windows 10 mail app ruined this guy's job search
I've read the website and whitepaper carefully. I see no language about partition of trust between users' deposit accounts and payment systems. Yes, payments are blind-signed. But it's a single entity that's handling the entire process.
This is a great question. I wonder how it "would scale" (or how cheating does.)
I can answer based on the Boston area. It's not that Boston is consistently perfect for walking and biking, but it's awful for driving, so the car-free life is pretty appealing.

I guess you could describe what delivery trucks do as "double parking". It's far from the worst traffic sin and you quickly learn not to follow a delivery truck on a one-lane street. Delivery drivers tend to be a lot better at solving this constraint problem than me in a Zipcar, anyway.

If you're moving, the best thing to do is to reserve street space for a box truck or moving truck in advance. Or you can wing it and just be in the way (a popular choice in September, when many new people move in).
FWIW one of the factors in choosing my current employer (I'm not "old" by any other industry's standards, but starting to have some visible grey in my hair) was how many of the people I met there who were older/more experienced, married with kids, etc.

Which is nice. People care about work/life balance, have been around the block a few times so there's less stereotypical startup attitude. Also some of the best in-office conversations with co-workers I've had.
Looks like someone's got a case of the sour grapes.
In my country the line detection doesn't exist but alarms do have backup batteries. I have known cases in my area of houses that got broken into with the use of a GSM jammer. Especially if a household relies on broadband telephony, knocking out the land line is a matter of turning the power off.
Most people I've come across that argue against this stuff have some sort of straw man SJW in mind that is offended at the drop of a hat, but these people never really materialize or if they do no one can quantify that they are anything more than some random extremist.

They are (in my mind) the same people that view Native Americans being offended at the existence of the Washington Redskins as people that are making "a bit fuss over nothing."
Right, and in larger organizations, the "they" are two completely different groups of people. My current situation: Developers in City A are expected to use secure coding standards. But the IT group in City B, halfway across the country, installs a intruder-alert proxy which blocks urls which might contain HTML or SQL. The CTO is probably too busy playing golf with Oracle salesfolks to care, everyone is just looking after their own end of the business.
So if you murder someone with an assault rifle, you're a monster, but if you did it with your bare hands, your methods should be applauded and studied?

I'm not even going for reductio ad absurdum here, this seems to literally be what you're saying.
1. I'm a single guy in late 20s.
2. I don't get out much.
3. Always focused on work.
4. On computer all the time day and night more than 12hrs every day.
5. I went through clinical depression in the past, I don't feel depressed anymore but sometimes get lonely.
6. Tried online dating sites, but never made any connections.
7. Not very social, I'm quiet, and am an introvert.

Things that keep me going:
1. Family.
2. Occasional get-together with old friends.
3. Science and technology and the fact that I exist and can experience the things that I can feel with my physical senses.
4. Hiking and hobbies that require physical activity.
5. I'm not religious, but sometimes visiting local churches to genuinely get to know new people helps too.

Something that I should look into: Fashion. Skinny jeans LOL. cool socks and hair styling. Putting myself out there where there are girls.
