Getting started with Raspberry Pi – Building a Digital Photo Frame
I think I understand where you're coming from. It's possible I am wrong about that, and how would I really know? I don't think anything you've said is inaccurate, if that means anything. I do think that the organization you so capably defend is not worthy of your effort in so doing. But on reflection I'm not sure what purpose I thought I would serve in saying so.

The lay definition isn't a definition, per se, it's a misappropriate of the term. Since the lay user only cares about text matching, the term for what they need is "text matching syntax" or some such thing.

And surely you don't think those implementing the regular expression engine are lay people. They should know better.

Sure - I was genuinely curious. I'm not an RF engineer, and haven't really studied this topic, other than to know my company has Omnidirectional and directional antennas. I was curious as to whether there might be some sort of phase-alignment or other type of behavior that might be happening with the directional antennas, unrelated to the power/duty cycle. My question with regards to education was truly genuine.
Thank you. We have considered open sourcing but we need to clean some things up on the backend before doing so. Also we have some 3rd party tools that are not free that are part of the core functionality. So open sourcing might not make sense but I would like to make the platform available to users who want to catalogue their own collections. Thanks for your comment

Screencasts for programmers (curated list)
So the article has this bit:

'The biases of hosts can be cloaked — for example, one Airbnb listing in Washington states “we cannot accept guests arriving in D.C. by bus or motor coach,” without mentioning race, class or ethnicity — and may be difficult to eradicate.'

If you google it, there is only one AirBnb account with it (few listings for the rooms), with 882 total reviews. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/56977?sug=50

This is what they put in their description:

"Regrettably,we cannot accept guests arriving in DC by bus or motor coach. If you are travelling in the northeast corridor, especially from New York or Philadelphia, we suggest you take the Amtrak train service."

I really wonder if they have a valid reason (late arrival due to bus delays for instance), but I suppose if it's looks discriminatory that's as bad as being so.

This is key, many companies gimp there documentation process with too much access control. Recently for instance, I wanted to update the company leave policy page with a link to the application form but couldn't because it was locked to HR.

I agree with you, but a lot of people don't. There are rules about who you decide to hire, who you decide to rent to, and who you decide to serve.

Crazy, I know, but that's the world most wanted.
I agree with your general observations with respect to misunderstanding and assumptions. I just don't see how the questions you asked could lead to edifying answers. It is a mistake to concentrate on particulars like this, and would have been even if OP agreed with you rather than responding with a dispositive contradictory detail.

> you're damned if you do and damned if you don't

Most of my military experience followed this maxim. For example: You witness your squadmates doing something against the rules. Do you do the Official thing and report that to your unit commander, as you required to by guidelines and the definition of "good soldier"? Because if you do, now your entire squad will ostracize you, make your life complete shit, and possibly leave you to die on the battlefield. If you don't, you had better hope they don't get caught, because if it comes out that you knew about it and didn't say anything, now you are in just as much trouble.

This happened literally every day.

So I have this problem, I built an mvp and signup page, attracted a lot of page views, got quite a few signups for the free tier (50 for example) and they were all of the type: sign up, login, look around, never came back. So using these 50 signups/emails as my network, I've done two things; emailed a survey link, and emailed just asking for feedback. And nothing, not one single response to either the survey, or the email. Of the 50 only one unsubscribed.

What am I to make of this? Is the fact I got 50 signups a signal the product has value and I should continue, or does the fact users don't return a signal the product is crap I should scrap it? I'm really at a loss here.
I do make this argument for pretty much every quantitative study.
Paper withdrawn

https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.04062

It's kind of an odd thing. I (random non-academic amateur) actually spent a bunch of time trying to parse the paper, which was kind of a combination of interesting ideas and incomprehensible ambiguities.

One real academic researcher also put some time into it. The good part of the paper is explained here. My guess is the problem is going from ARM to SARM.

While I'm sure most people involved think of the experience as a wash, I feel like I learned a bunch about deep learning in the process.

PS, also sad that the author did this.
> for the white millennials this site seems aimed at, there's not much in their way

I don't know what about our product makes you think that we're specifically targeting white people, but, even if we were, millennials (even ones from populations that are disproportionately of a privileged background) are overwhelmingly either currently in school, or under-employed . "Under-employed," meaning that they tend to work part-time, hourly jobs, rather than being able to secure salaried positions (even for ones with higher degrees).

As I've said before, they literally do not have time--and will, in fact, be put at a financial burden, if they chose to--to take off time to vote. Which is why we have services like "Time off to Vote" (https://www.voteplz.org/guide/get-time-off/) to help people know their rights, as well as easy-to-understand information about getting absentee ballots and voting early.

We also have an entire resource for helping people with criminal pasts know their rights (https://www.voteplz.org/register/#/felony-help/), which pretty much no one makes straight-forward. If you look at other registration sites, they tend to say something along the lines of, "don't use us if you've ever committed a crime," because they don't feel like putting in the effort to help that demographic. Even the National Voter Registration form uses language that can be misinterpreted as meaning that people who have been to jail automatically lose their rights forever.

Like I said, making it easier for people to vote (and giving them resources to get informed) is not making people who don't want to vote, vote. It's helping people who want to make a difference get the resources to make a difference.

If you click on the asterisk next to that heading, you'll see that the 15% figure is a joke reference to an XKCD. :P In practice, it wouldn't make sense for us to say "incremental compilation makes us X% faster" because the benefit will vary wildly by workload.

I just got my postcard informing me I was affected last month. I tossed the offer of credit protection because I'm already stacking multiple "we're sorry" credit protections from other breaches.

The thing that burns me though, is that the credit protection is for a limited time. The severity of this breach and they can't give us a lifetime of protection?!?

Analog: The Last Defense Against DRM
If we're going to use profit as a measuring stick for a company doing the right thing—then it seems relevant to mention the fact that Apple's stock has fallen over the last several years and has continued in that trend.

I don't personally hold the view that this directly reflects a company's innovative quality, but again if that's the measuring stick, it only seems to further the argument that Apple's design decisions aren't what they used to be.

Production compilers often don't have it either.

(Having to split up your code manually into separate .cpp [or what have you] files doesn't qualify as incremental compilation—that's just separate compilation. Incremental compilation is when the compiler automatically figures out what needs to be recompiled, even when all you hand it is a big blob of code that hasn't been manually split up by a human in any way.)

I've been waiting for a service like this! I was just thinking about this yesterday.

I feel there must be some competition. Anyone know what that might be?

A while back I was trying to buy a macbook online and while searching for cheap macbooks, I went down the rabbit hole that is Alibaba (here's an example of what I was talking about[1]).

The seller claimed to be based in USA, had warehouses in Brazil and demanded that I pay via Western Union. After confirming all the details (via email). I decided to give it a shot. After sending him about $250 CAD (of the $500) he sent me a shipping code which had a description of a GTX 970. After complaining to him about it, he claimed that there was some mistake and his wearhouse in London would have it fixed and sent me another tracking number.

After a day of shipping, he emailed me claiming that he had a talk with the shipping company and they had decided to keep the laptop in escrow till I paid the entire amount (and sent him the confirmation numbers). At this point, I realized I was getting duped (if it's too good to be true, it's generally false), and canceled my payment.

A year later, both those shipping numbers still work and claim that the items are on the way.

I did try to follow up on his "company" and the shipping company, but there had been some serious work put into it (they had good SEO, support accounts, forums etc - all of which were fake btw).

I wanted to contact the local authorities, but in all honesty, no action would be taken - the scammer was located in a different country and I had nothing but an email and a name to go ahead on.

The reason I felt bad after this was not because I got scammed, but because "I" got scammed. (I was always proud that I could not get duped or fall into such scams but I had)

Worked fine for me (I had never used it before). Perhaps the problem is with your OS? Learning how to install dependencies should be one of the first things a programmer learns. I don't think it's unreasonable to learn that a message like "Error: X requires this library! Failed to install" means you should go and install that library. Plus it can be frustrating when something comes with its own version of a certain library because it makes tracking down bugs more difficult. For example Python ships its own version of libffi (the library it uses to call C functions). I've had issues with this library before, and it turned out the Python devs hadn't bothered to update it in a long time, because it "worked", but it didn't for me, and the newer version worked fine. So I had to end up trying to rebuild Python from source with a more up-to-date version of libffi, which was a giant pain. It may be "easier" to make everything self-contained like that, but it causes headaches too. Maybe it would be better in those cases if the library were just packaged in the distro's package manager? (Or brew for Macs). That would allow for more complete dependency handling.
From an uninformed distance this looks a bit underwhelming: initial builds are slower, incremental builds are not _that_ much faster, and build outputs are no longer deterministic functions of just the build inputs (which is useful for example for distributed build systems).
You know those "threats of government violence" are the only thing stopping the practice of slavery?
Here's the kicker, technically NSA can't even do offense (attack). That's what US Cybercom is for. The NSA primary missions are SIGNIT and IA as a combat support agency. So they can gather information on foreign adversaries (and defend DoD networks), but they don't have the mandate to actually perform cyberwarfare. Or for that matter defend civilian networks against attack.
A bit extreme isn't that? I just have my staff paint their fingerprints with women's ruby red fingernail paint. It dries to a smooth glass-like finish.

That's an awful way of describing the current state. A scientist discussing the public health effect of Zika virus has no obligation to discuss potential benefit to competing tourist locations: it's simply not pertinent to the research they are doing. If any hotel manager in Rome thinks they may get more reservations, they're free to research and make predictions using their resources.

If you want to learn about potential benefits of global warming, you're free to search for it, and it's not like scientists are suppressing the information: here we have a nice chart with a dozen potential benefits [1].

It's just that most scientists think "Greenland may make more money catching cods" is just not worth mentioning, in a press release where you get a few sentences to discuss ecological collapse in the oceans, never mind an individual paragraph for Arctic North Atlantic.

Also keep in mind that there's a multi-billion-dollar industry very interested in everyone knowing how global warming may benefit themselves... and so far all they've dug up were lame platitudes like "Don't you like warm weather?"

Shocker: when I reviewed the code for both projects, I sent fixes to the one that I found to be of high quality. Why is this surprising?

And no, I'm not "maintaining some fork"--there's no way to submit patches on GitHub, and the only way to get changes in for most projects hosted there is to throw up a copy of your work as a remote for someone to pull from. My disdain for this workflow is already well-documented.

Yes, my son's High School Software Course has a lot of old dusty design content (data flow diagrams), chunks of soft content - "social impact of computers".

I highly recommend considering consulting/freelancing when looking at starting a company. Hourly rates generally price in an expectation of not having work full-time, so you work less than 40 hours/week to begin with. Drop an hour or two of commute every day on top of that and it's a big win in terms of time that can be spent on a startup or side-project.

Of course consulting requires more in terms of people skills - you're basically "interviewing" every time you find a new client. But I think in some sense that's a hump to get over either way - there aren't many startups that don't benefit from founders having soft skills.

Sort of an orthogonal point to the article, of course.
I'm obviously not communicating my point well. Let's try this:

A backdoor executes in a remote machine. It allows attackers to access that machine.

A rootkit executes in a "remote" privileged context. It allows attackers to access that privileged context. It's in this context that I refer to escalation; it allows the attacker in a non-priviledged context access to a privileged context; aka escalation. And yes, the actual escalation already happened in the past, when the rootkit was installed. However, a non-priviledged user is still gaining illicit access to a privileged context at the moment that the rootkit is utilized.

Also, at this point I think we're splitting semantic hairs that don't really matter, aside from pedantry.
You don't have to split up your code manually. You just write one Rust crate, splitting your code into files on whatever granularity you like (with mutual recursion fully supported), and the Rust compiler automatically does the rest. You don't have to write tedious header files; the compiler figures out all the dependencies automatically.
