Does it mean that when doing a conversion from sRGB encoding to physical intensity encoding we have to extend the number of bits to encode the physical intensity values to avoid rounding errors in the sRGB encoding ?

I guess that that the required number of bits to encode physical intensity values depends on the operations. performed. The author suggest using floats, but this means 3x4 bytes and 4x4 bytes with the alpha channel. Would 16 bit unsigned integer be enough ? Floats are ok when using graphic cards, but not ok when using the processor.
> YouTube says that those who participate will be eligible to receive perks, including access to exclusive workshops and sneak preview product launches, for example.

Gamifying content flagging with mass-flagging tools combined with their stupidly vague content rules[1] is a gift to the people that abuse moderation tools for hateful or trolling purposes. Maliciously flagged videos are already a problem (regardless of any human review), and YT is now going to reward (some of) these assholes?

[1] Remember the recent mess regarding the de-monitisation of videos arbitrarily deemed "not advertiser friendly"? The problem isn't that some videos were de-monotized; the guidelines - as written - could apply to anything.
Please don't -- there's more than enough of that kind of nagging on todays web as it is.

Whenever we figure out how to do something, we stop calling it AI or AGI. If the trend continues, will we eventually have a general AI, but won't consider it anything special? Will it have been just a small incremental step by then?

Perhaps there is some misunderstanding, but that (parent to my comment) was responding to a comment which indicated that there is too much government intervention, which is not allowing people to feel the direct financial impact of their medical decisions. People using epipens are not buying them 'just-in-time', they are planning ahead.

The great grandparent comment also seemed to be speaking to the way the government has incentivized employer-provided health insurance, which insulates people from making cost/benefit decisions. I think that if individuals had to pay $100 per juice box their insurer gets billed, they would likely find a way to cut costs.
Yes, I only meant C++ IDEs, I should've clarified that.

You pulled 90% out of the air, though. What if it's 42%?

If you think 90% is a better target than 100% for overall public health, well, fine, that's a classic kind of public health policy argument. But without a regulatory system of some kind, you won't know what the actual number is for a given product.

EDIT to add: I'm not arguing that DIY auto-injectors should be illegal to build in general. I'm in favor of people having the freedom to experiment with their own care if they want to.

I am arguing that DIY is not an adequate substitute for the general public unless the actual risks are well understood.

The first and follow sets for LL are the first hurdle you'll hit when you try to parse something where the next production (the next path) doesn't consume the token straight away. The theory becomes instantly accessible for practical reasons. So I respectfully disagree.

You'll quickly learn there's a mechanical transformation from LL(1) grammars to recursive descent. And if you write a recursive descent parser with one token of lookahead, no backtracking, and straightforward syntax actions, it has a mechanical translation into LL(1).

Anyway, I described the journey I went through learning compiler theory before I went to college. I covered undergrad compiler course content long before I left secondary school, and understood it at a much deeper level. I got a job at Borland working on the Delphi compiler (6 years I put in) on the back of the same knowledge. It worked for me.
Internal consistency is relatively easy to verify. Completeness to some extent as well.

There's no way that's true, the benefits of the grid will ensure it always exists in cities. It guarantees 24/7 power for all citizens, smooths out regional hiccups (i.e. if it's cloudy in one region), and allows better allocation of excess resources (i.e. to smelt aluminium).

It might, however, go away for cottages/cabins, or other rural buildings. Many people I know have generators at their cottages because the power is unreliable enough, and given the unreliability, the grid must be pretty expensive to maintain.
It even set the trend for consonant-rich startup names. Tumblr, Grindr, Pixlr..

In order to distinguish between "GPLv2 only" and "GPLv2 or later", they can't just parse the LICENSE file, they need to look at comments in the actual source files to see if they contain "or (at your option) any later version" or some such disclaimer. This could lead to a lot of false positives and false negatives, especially if the project contains third-party code.

Setting the license manually, of course, would solve the problem.

I agree that their monetization policy is pretty vague; I wish it was clearer but they probably have to cover their bases.

As for "people that abuse moderation tools for hateful or trolling purposes": these people won't be given access to the tools. According to the site [0], you only get points and level up for actually flagging things correctly, and you get kicked out if you're abusing it. And the improved flagging tools are only available once you reach a higher level. So it would be pretty hard to abuse (especially since even after all that, there's oversight).

This is an interesting thought. Some apartment complexes already do some form of resold Internet or Cable access. I could see them doing a mass solar install similarly.
Just checked a few of my own projects. Github doesn't recognize LGPLv3 properly, where the license is split into a GPLv3 "COPYING" file and an LGPLv3 "COPYING.LESSER" file. They ignore the latter and just slap GPLv3 on the project.

I get that a lot of people downplay achievements in machine learning by saying it's nothing like AGI, but it's almost a meme now that "once upon a time everyone thought that was the holy grail and they're moving the signposts" even when 1) nobody thought that, or 2) some people thought that and some people didn't think that.

Isn't it possible to decide the equivalence of deterministic pushdown automata? Wouldn't DPDAs be considered more powerful than FSMs due to the addition of a stack?

Wikipedia [1] shows there's a paper called "The equivalence problem for deterministic pushdown automata is decidable" that won the Gödel Prize is 2002. I haven't read the paper nor do I currently have access to it though.

I would say it does. According to [1] 5% of electricity is generated from oil. Also I would guess that this capacity is mostly located in places where other generation types are not available (islands, remote locations etc) and will be overtaken by solar before coal.

Then also there is EV+solar combo (solar owners are more inclined to get ev and vice versa).

The proof then follows like so, by induction on the states of the program:

This is our partial correctness property

PartialCorrectness ≜ AllDone ⇒ ∃ p ∈ ProcSet : y[p] = 1

And this is the inductive invariant:

Inv ≜ PartialCorrectness
∧ ∀ p ∈ ProcSet : pc[p] ≠ "Line1" ⇒ x[p] = 1

We need to show that Inv implies PartialCorrectness (trivial), that Inv holds in the initial state, and that if it holds in any state s, then it holds in any possible consecutive step s'. It's easy to see that it holds in the initial state. Now, let's assume it holds in s, and prove for s'. To make this transition, some process p either executes line 1 or executes line 2. If it executes 1, then PartialCorrectness doesn't change because no new process is done. The second conjunct holds because we've just left line 1 and x has been assigned (by the definition of line 1). If we are currently in line 2, the second conjunct of the invariant doesn't change. By the definition of this action, we'll be done. Here we have two cases, either we set y to 1, or we set y to zero. If we set y to 1, we're done and PartialCorrectness holds. If we set y to 0 then by the assumption of the invariant, the process we depend on must not be done, hence AllDone is false, and PartialCorrectness holds. QED.
Same here. My reaction to JetBrains doing that was dismay at first. But I've come to appreciate speed of updates, although the last update of IDEA completely broke the Vim Emulator for me, so I've switched back to ST.

I think he should at least put a demo time limit on using Sublime Unregistered. It's established enough now, and the extra revenue could help speed up development. There are a few things that Atom does in a nicer way, like package management.

But Atom doesn't feel nice because of the speed issues, for me.
Don't worry, Windows has the "metered connection" setting but it's nearly useless as no third party apps respect the setting - Dropbox and Chrome both updated over LTE today.
I found myself doing this more and more often as a data provider that most of our clients used started to drop the ball with the data they were distributing. Including things like extra comma's in descriptions, letters in monetary figures etc. I actually found Notepad++ the fastest for opening CSV's, XML etc. Nipped this in the bud quickly and made a small windows GUI that scans source files for common issues.

From a quick read, it seems that this article does not talk about Pharmacy Benefits Managers such as Express Scripts. The latter are certainly not a full-fledged solution but another country-specific attempt to privatize for the sake of privatization. I agree that it is sad that the elected representatives in the US have worked so hard against the people they serve by hampering Medicare in this manner.
Scheduling algorithms are dime a dozen and the default one provided by a runtime might not be suitable for a particular application. A user space scheduler would let you have finer control when you need it. You may have codepaths that are latency sensitive and those that are throughput sensitive.

Any time you spend or save on these kinds of transformations is going to pale in comparison to the bcrypt step. It might not even amount to a single iteration.
Sorry, I must disagree. For 70 bucks you get developers who hardly fix bugs, who don't listen to users (I posted a few feature requests in their site and was banned) and with a crazy architecture (try and change the highlight colour of brackets in BracketHighlighter and see what I mean). They are worse than Microsoft. Screw them.

It was great when it came out, but now Atom is better.

I've done something similar 21 years ago: a C interpreter targeting a virtual machine. The runtime had a dynamic equivalent of libffi to call into native code and use existing native libraries. I added extensions to run code blocks in threads so that the dinning philosopher problem solution was very elegant. Back in the days, not having libffi meant generating assembly on the fly for Sparc, MIPS, PA-Risc, i386. Fun times. That C interpreter was used to extend a CAD package.
PCREs are Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, they have backreferences and other constructs. Almost all languages that have Regular Expressions have similar constructs. "Computer Science" Regular Expressions are more limited and implement a "regular language" as defined in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chomsky_hierarchy. This gives some guarantees, which go out the window with PCREs.
If you're wrong, we're in it together. I very strongly dislike the modern trend towards flat, unrecognizable widgets and non-descript icons.

Correct. Epi is a short-acting drug. Allergens can still cause anaphylaxis after the epi has broken down. Epi use should result in a call to emergency services, and/or a trip to the ED.

You don't understand people fighting for their rights? but I'm sure you do understand corporation exploiting them. There is no "signing up" when the deal is both illegal and unfair. Marx theories didn't go away because some people deemed them irrelevant. Ironically, in this era of political correctness where people apply Marxism to culture and speech instead of economy and workers rights, they should better remember what it is all about at first place and how they are being tricked into fighting useless fights. Your comment can't be more relevant, actually...
No licence means copyright applies I believe. So maybe if there is no licence then a generic copyright applies, contact the author message would suffice.
I don't think we can generalize from Wikipedia lists for complex issues when the lists contain very diverse countries. I have spent some time in Europe and in India. I have a couple of chronic conditions that requires daily medications. One of those conditions have generics available worldwide, the other one does not. My medication costed 5 times my montly European insurance premium in Europe. In India, insurance providers don't cover much beyond hospitalization and cancer. In India, the same non-generic medicine used to cost me about half of my European insurance cost, but I had to foot the bill myself. Now, there are generics of that available here, and I pay about one fifth of my European insurance premium for a month's worth of medication. I have to pay for doctors' visits off-pocket too, and the specialists I visit charge me about 3€ per visit. If I visit a local GP, they'd charge me about 1.5€ per visit. I pay for tests out-of-pocket too, but most of them cost in the range of single-euro-digit per test. Sorry about being vague, I don't want to give away too much about myself.

Looking at per capita healthcare costs in India would be pointless, as the vast majority of people go without proper healthcare.

It's under active development, yes. It has seen a major rewrite of a lot of foundation libraries after 0.16.

Bonds and other Government debt tends to be very inexpensive to service. Unless a country's debt levels are extremely excessive, and assuming that it expects its economy to grow, then there isn't much reason to ever pay down debt, just keep servicing it through to maturity.

Remember that a country doesn't have to retire, so its debt is quite different than a household's.

SQLite would be nowhere near the current design in term of performance. Typical shaarli usage involve little update (a dozen a day maximum) an a lot of read (10k+ pages viewed per day on sebsauvage's instance (shaarli's creator, an influent french blogger). Thé file system's cache works really well in this kind of scenario, way better than SQLite.

For the stability guarantees, shaarli exists since 2011 and is used in production by many (several hundred) people without trouble.
C++ compilers (at least on most current code bases that don't need modules) still need to parse and lex headers though -- so actual executable code is pretty rare. Most compilations are also debug builds which don't optimize(but creating debug information can also be slow; the really slow step is usually linking)
