The technical engine behind it is better, but the UX for using it on a locked phone isn't good. All of my issues are solvable by android, they aren't technically hard. But it's still an issue after all of these years.

For me, I only use voice in a car and some other basic cases, since it fails on the locked phone case for me, it's not that useful.

---

My basic issues with android:

1. A battery monitor that just works(tm) without playing science experiment. An OS that clamps down on apps to prevent it becoming an issue in the first place.

2. Faster & better camera software, quickly accessible from a locked screen, quick to start, helps me take photos without me realizing it.

3. A voice interface that works well when the screen is locked or occupied by another app, where it easily does things like:

a) Send & speak text messages

b) Control my music / podcasts

c) Change my GPS navigation.

4. An OS that really tries in security. Android is not as secure as iOS, as evidenced by the prices of jailbreaks.

5. An OS that will get updates on devices for years to come. Windows has being doing it for decades despite having similar hardware fragmentation, why can't android do it?
My experience in the past 10 months has been 180 degrees opposite. My friends all know I eat once daily, and when we go to a restaurant with the perfect food to double-up on and pig out, I struggle to eat any more than anyone else eating just 1 meal of 3 for the day. I definitely feel my stomach has shrunk.

I'm down 40lbs, but have been at this weight since month 2. A much more athletic friend's experiences combined with mine, we are slowing reaching the conclusion that 1x / 24hr can help with weightloss when you are 20~80lbs overweight. But once you are under that you need to start on 48 hr fasts to make progress.

And calorie dense food? Ever since my paleo days 5 years back (a 1 yr experiment) I've continually eaten much more calorie dense foods on purpose, to reach satiety with greater ease. I will never, for example, consume whole milk. I drink straight glasses of half&half for the extra fat content and calories.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_system

My personal favorite system for single-winner elections is approval voting (basically just vote for as many people as you want). There are systems that are mathematically much better, but they are all considerably more complicated, and I'm of the opinion that if voters don't understand the voting system, it will damage their confidence in the electoral process.

Also, as a fun fact: note I said "deterministic" systems can't eliminate strategic voting, but the most simple voting system of all completely eliminates it: pick one ballot at random, and what/whomever was voted for on that ballot wins. Obviously you would never have a reason to vote for anything but what you want to win, but it has oodles of problems in practice.
The more attention you draw on diversity, the less diversity you receive. Diversity is supposed to be impartial and tolerant, yet it seems the prescribed approach is to carve out separate "spaces" for different feelings and situations. How is this building bridges in the so-called "gender divide"?

True diversity is complete and utter impartiality. Why are we focusing on all these useless, pretty, inspirational solutions (interviews, diversity name-and-shame, putting females in a zoo) when we really need to be attacking the mental characteristics that lead to sexist thought?

It's interesting she mentions voice so much. We men need to check our emotional responses to stupid inputs like "sound of voice" or "shape of body" or whatever. These things DO NOT MATTER. All that matters is ability. Nothing else!
I think many people do have brains that operate this way, probably because their understanding of language is grounded in conversation as a first experience. I suspect this is the reason you see confusion with "your, you're" and "there, their, they're."

I don't parse language in quite that manner, and even in speaking I have a different "mouth feel" for those homonyms. This creates a modest inversion of the idea of spelling errors for me, in that people who truly do say homonyms in such a way that to my hearing it is exactly the same require me to parse for context.
I used to always have this in the back of my mind, and would be hesitant to network with men because of this. I started asking people to meet up for breakfast, and would keep the topic of conversation about work/industry/etc. Once I got married, I noticed my paranoia with interpreting male co-workers intentions went down quite a bit.
Agreed. In my experience, woman (IME) really are looking for someone to listen and relate, they aren't so interested in you "fixing" the problem.

Voting supports a broken collectivist system, and even worse pollutes one's own mind. It's pop culture that rots one's brain even worse than TMZ, because it masquerades as Serious Business.

The actors play people's discontent while differentiating themselves by promising top-down solutions to divisive personal issues. The fundamental meta-issues fucking our society are permanently off the table - eg sane monetary policy so a middle class can save again, or restoring the rule of law and putting the NSA traitors in prison [0].

The bad policies of the next salesperson are already written, and whether the Idiot or the Criminal wins this popularity contest only affects which companies' folders they come out of. After election, the winner's job will switch to selling the status quo to their supporter-victims. This further destroys people's rationality as they double down to justify their mistake.

[0] I'll preemptively head off the "third party" comment - it's just another level of control. The idiotic divisive politics are the result of emergent behavior based on what appeals to your average person. In the event the Libertarian party actually starts picking up steam, the same thing will happen to it as happened to the Tea Party. The fundamental problem is the centralization itself, of which our blind worship of Democracy is a pillar.

The best numerical analysis I've seen is here: https://fee.org/articles/how-not-to-waste-your-vote-a-mathem...

It covers the electoral college and the different ways votes can be "wasted".
"After training, we can sample the network to generate synthetic utterances. At each step during sampling a value is drawn from the probability distribution computed by the network. This value is then fed back into the input and a new prediction for the next step is made. Building up samples one step at a time like this is computationally expensive, but we have found it essential for generating complex, realistic-sounding audio."

So it looks like generation is a slow process.
Many commenters are pointing out that one possible definition of a rootkit is something that elevates privilege, but does not necessarily have network communications functions or a command and control server. But in recent times, almost all modern rootkits seen in the wild have some form of network control functionality.
Here's an idea for a craft brew. Replace the hops with actual white pine needles.

And Googling for "beer with pine needles"...

...dammit. "Spruce beer". That idea is literally centuries old. At least five breweries currently use evergreen bits as flavoring agents, and at least 16 have tried reviving gruit recipes in some form or another. Apparently, Sitka spruce tips are popular in Alaska, being far more available than hops.
"Young people are just smarter."

Ha! I love it! What ZUCKERGUY means is that young people are smart in a way that he, another young person, can recognize and understand.

Whereas older people are smart in ways that young people don't yet recognize or understand. It's just one great big Dunning-Krueger Effect. Young people don't know how much they don't know.

Fortunately for them, old people are a totally different species from young people. It's not like young people turn into old people or anything. Can you imagine the horrors? Like what if life were one big continuum where you start out young and slowly turn old? Scary stuff!
Put your energy into ending the discrimination now before you too are affected by it.
Mmm.. I hoped the README covers it, but I'll try again:

Teleconsole is made for situations when you can't SSH into another machine directly (it's behind NAT) - it will work on a laptop when you're in the internet cafe, or on the Raspbery Pi at home which you don't forward SSH connections to.

Also it creates single-use disposable SSH credentials for your guests: there's no need to create temporary users or share your own SSH credentials with anybody.

Finally, you can join using just a browser, which can be helpful in some situations.

I hope this helps!
I think you need an editor with notes about HR approved behavior too, in case some given advice is less than good.
The problem with that hypothesis is that a non-trivial number of iPhone customers (that I anecdotely know) tend to upgrade every few years, not every iteration. If a device is "good enough" to last 2+ years, I'd say Apple is doing a decent enough job at keeping their users happy.
They would. And apparently they're doing it with some success, judging by all the passwords leaked lately. We can assume there were other "successes" that were not made public yet..

So yeah.. enforcing https may be the same as trying to patch a hole when the bag is wide open..

It will simply become even less feasible for sombody to host a site without the blessing of the big cert guys...

Federalization of the internet is where we are going, but I susppose that's just the faith of all media channels..

> Any statement from them should hold some weight considering this whole debate is a conspiracy theory at best.

Those are two separate issues. Whether or not the "whole debate is conspiracy theory at best" has no bearing on whether a statement like this from apple should hold any weight. Apple's claim may or may not be true, but we should look to other sources of evidence to evaluate this, and completely disregard 'because apple said so'.
Sorry, the small refers to the physical volume of the meal.
If you previously establish that the vulnerability was introduced by a third party, then "backdoor" might be an OK term afterward - after the context has been introuced.

In an example without context (like, a headline), "backdoor" strongly implies that it was built by the vendor. I have to disagree with you and concur with the other commenters saying this was a very misleading choice of words by Kaspersky. They should have just said "malware".
How about foo@[1.2.3.4] ?

"foo", ok, I agree with the blogpost, if there isn't even an @ in there somewhere, maybe it's sensible to catch that and reject it outright. But that's probably about it.
Ask everyone you work with for coffee. Please don't omit the women.

I've mentored new hires, and in that context it's easy to say, "hey can we get tea and talk about how the first few weeks have been?"
So true. Something diversity advocates conveniently forget and omit.
I know a number of people in the music business who swear they will never buy another apple product because of the 3.5 jack business. Lets see if they stick to it.
Aw man, when first I read the actual algorithm for IRV, my first thought was "This has got to be the worst way of managing ranked-ballots that preserves some semblance of enforcing voter will.

[edit]

Okay it's not actually that bad, but it's poor, particularly since the mid-90s we've had the technology to cheaply run as many simulated elections as we want given machine readable ranked-ballots.
Avoid such an employer in any case. With an attitude like that, they are not likely to build a great product, or win users' trust.

Additionally, if you're young and naive, you'll be likely taken advantage of. Why else naivete might be desirable in a business setting?
It seems like a sensible statement to make? We're talking about renting out owner occupied apartments for a limited amount of time during the year. Some properties just can't be modified to accommodate people with certain (certain, not all) disabilities. And neither would some people want to, if you're only renting them out a few months a year.
I'm reading this as sarcastic. While there's some remote chance this could be misinterpreted, there's a remote chance that talking to any woman at all at any point could be misinterpreted as prurient interest. It's sort of a boring point.

Realistically, the conversation can go something like "hey, i'm going to the break area for coffee, wanna come?" ... "So how is your work going?" ... "Huh, that sounds ... Anything I can do to help?"

If you're completely risk averse but still want to be a supportive male, you can have this entire conversation without bringing up that they're a woman.

Alternatively, If you want, you can make a passing comment, maybe with a joke, like, "Just wanted to check in because engineering can be a boys club sometimes. Want you to feel like you're in the club." Maybe you can say "It's a little dorky, but I read this interview where a female engineer suggested talking directly to women about their experiences and it seemed like a good idea. I just wanted to see how this job is treating you."

As long as you don't leer while you say any of this, everything will be fine.
Hmph - I don't see anything about GraphQL on the page linked. Maybe they removed it from the sessions?
Exactly! I would be a terrible manager and I have no entrepreneurial instincts at all. I'm way over 40 and I'm one layoff away from involuntary retirement. I suppose I could hook up with someone who was an entrepreneur, but there's no certainty of that happening.

I don't doubt the presence of racism in our society, but this seems like an overly subjective and crude way to label someone a racist. Off the top of my head they could be threatened by the other's attractiveness (surprisingly common), they find the person awkward to speak with or annoying/ out of touch, they are shy/uncomfortable around social situations with multiple people, they could even be a minsogynst, they could have terrible social skills, or a hundred other reasons why someone might give off bad vibes to someone else.

How do you differentiate so assuredly between "this person just doesn't like this person and/ or the situation" and "this person is a racist"?

I've lived in countries where I felt like I got a ton of looks/ distance, and if someone was rude to me, I found myself jumping to "racism" a lot, a lot of the x-pats did. Yet when I come back home I still encounter the same kind of rudeness but suddenly it's not racism anymore, it's just people being assholes. Not sure where I'm going with this, it just does bother me that people are so quick to pull the racism card in such ambiguous, subjective situations, especially when it's against people who are younger than my grandparent's generation, who in the US at least are a lot less likely to actually be racist.
Does phrasing exist though to keep if professional? Honest question. My best attempt would probably be:

"Hey would you like to go out for coffee professionally?"
> There's actually a shortage of data-savvy people who can also write production software, and you would nicely complement a more research-inclined data scientist or analyst -- someone with far more experience with research/analysis than development.

I experience the same problem with shortage-at-price-X in the field you describe. I'm a machine learning engineer with experience in MCMC methods, but I also have a lot of low-level Python and Cython experience, some intermediate experience with database internals, and lots of experience writing well-crafted code for production systems.

There are basically zero companies willing to pay what I'm seeking (which is a salary based on my previous job and a few offers I got around the time I took that job). In fact, in some of the more expensive cities, the real wage offered is far lower than other markets.

I've seen reputable, multi-billion dollar companies offering in the $140k range for this type of role in New York. That's wildly below anything reasonable for this sort of thing in New York. I've seen companies in Minneapolis offering $130k for the same kind of job -- and even that is still too low for Minneapolis! The same has been true in San Francisco as well.

Because these companies value you more for simply looking good on paper and looking good as a piece of office ornamentation when investors stroll through, and they view you as an arbitrary work receptacle closer to a software janitor than a statistical specialist, their whole mindset is about how to drive wage down.

Frankly, given the stresses of the job and the risk of burnout, I think it's actually a terrible time to be in the machine learning / computational stats employment field, despite all of the interesting new work and advances being made. The intellectual side is good, but the quality of jobs is through the floor.
I'm puzzled at the omission of Scala and Spark in this report.
Ignoring the breathless nature of the article, this is a buzzword label for a commodity skill set that pays a commodity salary in tech. It is also the commodity skill set that my employers have all paid me for.

There has been for a long time hype around new technology and labels for business intelligence, data warehousing, big data, and now data engineering/science. I'm not saying there are not some roles in this space that return huge value to organizations, but that these opportunities are much rarer than the buzz indicates.

I wonder if the perceived shortage is mainly hype as the shift to new cloud technologies makes many of the older ideas a little less useful - if you are plowing data into BigQuery, you probably aren't so worried about your star schema data model for reporting.

I would strongly advise people that look at these types of articles to look at the roles in question and ask "Is this role on the critical path to customers paying us?" My experience has been that the answer is often "No." This is bad. I have also seen situations where businesses that do rely on smart data integration can show that they are selling dollar bills for ten cents that still have trouble getting customers on board with spending that ten cents. Business is weird.
You can find explanations for both those questions in the design FAQ.

The explicit self came from Modula-3.
https://docs.python.org/2/faq/design.html#why-must-self-be-u...

The explanation for len is a little lacking.
https://docs.python.org/2/faq/design.html#why-does-python-us...

Guido once explained further in an email to the mailing list. I've forgotten some of it, but the gist is that he didn't want anyone to accidentally create or override a .len() method to do something other than tell the number of elements in the container.

And... almost everything is a method. Even ``len(obj)`` is just sugar for ``obj.__len__()``.

It's the jump from word-as-sound to word-as-symbol, which I think a lot of people never make, partially because it's not particularly useful in their lives.

I suspect those involved in programming skew very much towards the word-as-symbol, but whether that is causative or correlative I can't say.
"cup of coffee" is code for date. Plausible deniability and all. There are other ways to talk that are less ambiguous.
EDIT: nevermind, couldn't reproduce it with a new virtualenv. Whatever problem occurred in that virtualenv likely wasn't that interesting (wild guess is a package name collision).

pypy2-v5.3.1-linux64 / [PyPy 5.3.1 with GCC 4.8.2]

If you can't reproduce it with that tarball I'll dig deeper to see the mechanism of failure, maybe it's not pypy and it's just something local to my config or venv.
Apple makes a Lightning to USB Camera dongle which should be able to drive an external usb DAC (app-dependent I expect, though). I assume that iOS could take away the ability to do that, however.
> 100% of crime is committed by humans.

This is not true; 100% of crimes are committed by persons, but both natural persons (humans) and juridical persons (corporations, etc.) commit crimes, and its possible for the latter to commit a crime when none of the individual owners or agents are, as individuals, guilty of a crime.

> Would you suggest that "men" and "humans" as classes should be discriminated against as a result?

But, the latter kind of discrimination is the reason that the claim about humans committing 100% of crime is approximately (that is, but for crimes by juridical persons) true -- only humans commit crimes because acts are only criminal when committed by humans, so discrimination against humans is the reason for rather than a response to the condition you identify.
I think I've posted on StackOverflow/ServerFault three times in my life. If I've hit the point where I'm posting, I'm desperate and I've probably already spent 8+ hours scouring Google and trying everything I can think of.

If I do end up figuring out a solution, I definitely post it, and I'm glad that SO allows this, otherwise there would still be no answer to some of these questions online... One of these issues previously only turned up a single bash mailing list post from a decade ago with no resolution. Now searching for a few relevant search terms turns up my answer/solution in the top few results for all of them.

I don't care about imaginary internet points, I just figured I'd help the next guy out.
I think a way this can work is to actually make it work-related. "Hey, I have this project and I'd like to get your advice." That said, don't just do this with random women in your office. It should be someone you do actually work with and know before you ask to buy them coffee.

My answers as a female.

1.) Not completely. This profession isn't appealing to a lot of women for many reasons outside of it being prominently male dominated.

2.) No

3.) In my early career I was always the only female on smaller male dominated teams. New male devs that came in initially automatically assumed I was administration. It only took a few days for them to realize what I did and all had total respect after.

I personally think the heavy PR push towards women in code over the last couple of years has made it more uncomfortable for women in the profession. I for one don't want that kind of spotlight on me. I want to be judged for my capabilities not for my gender. I am also turned off by companies who heavily promote that they hire women/men equally. I want to be chosen because they think I am the best fit for the job not because they are trying to fill some more female seats.
'the guy'? 'he'?
