Simply replacing your own vector_3d class with numpy.array() won't actually speed you up that much as the overhead of creating all the tiny 3 element arrays kills you (I think I got only a 2x speed up from going from a pure python vector_3d to numpy arrays). Numpy is optimised for the creation of a small number of big arrays.

The massive enormous speed ups come from creating massive arrays and implicitly working on them in parallel. So instead of iterating through every pixel and creating a origin and direction vector for each one you create a Total_number_of_pixels X 3 numpy array and pass that to your ray tracing function. Due to the way numpy broadcasts arrays the amount of rewriting you need to do is incredibly minimal and the speed ups over pure python are astronomical.
That's not necessarily true, if you're the Sheikh and you own the power plants. You may have more money but you're still the only provider in town, and have fun cashing in energy when demand hits an external spike already.
I've actually been reading The Elements of Statistical Learning (The French version at least) and I've found it extremely interesting.

Yup, that's a problem with procrastination, too. Many people will dismiss it as just "laziness", heard it many times.

Machine learning people basically agree that there weren't any big breakthroughs in deep learning. The success and the hype is mostly a combination of more computing power and more data. The algorithms (convolutional neural network etc.) were invented back in the 1980s and even earlier.

There have been some improvements but they are incremental indeed. More use of ReLU, dropout etc. But it's not a new paradigm at all.
Your problem is actually simpler than if you had to maintain modern consumer-facing web apps, which have to deal with users across three broadly-defined screen sizes and a variety of mobile APIS. If you're serving the enterprise, then you can make assumptions about your audience that greatly simplify development.

Dropout can certainly be applied generally - it's useful as a regularization technique (especially in wide and deep networks) to combat overfitting in other fields than computer vision.

I also had trouble calling either "more even". The first one has greater division at the darker end, and the second at the lighter, but they about balance out.

You disagree that societies work best when the interests of all the participants are aligned? This seems obvious to me, so I am curious as to what you object to. If people are rewarded for doing thing X, X will be more likely to happen, and if they are punished for Y, then Y will be less likely to happen. Clearly there will be outliers, but why would you construct a society that actively penalises things that it wants?

> "Write Everything Thrice"

Solid. I'm using that in my class today.

I love React, and even there, I only style components in the way they need to be styled, and not with any other brand-specific styles. Those go in the good ol' fashioned CSS with "gently nested" CSS selectors. The enterprise world is considerably more nuanced than many SPA devs understand.

A class of folks from US Gov, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and finance industries (to roll them into general groups) and every one of them answers "IE9" when asked what browser they have to support, and every one of them is at home with "the old ways" of writing CSS, by embracing the cascade.

It's not that they're wrong. They're pragmatic.

And, In some cases a little bitter, I'll grant you. ;)

Saying it won't effect the world as the temperature was warmer 2000 years ago is a stupid statement.
Create a Sublime project. You can have project settings to ignore file and folder patterns. I set this up at the same time I create a .gitignore file for a repo.

Whenever you re-open a project, it re-opens every tab you had when you closed the project, which is really nice. Even unsaved files are restored.

If you want to effectively cut out noise from your environment either build some thick walls around yourself or use 20p foam earplugs in combination with ear defenders (you can pick 40dB 3M PELTORs for £18 on Amazon).

Bioweapons are hard to deploy in a targeted fashion.

Yup, along with the lovely trackpoint and generally high build quality, it's why I used to buy and recommend ThinkPads. But after all of their nonsense over the last year or so I'm done with Lenovo. It's going to take them a long time to win back my business.

For all that, I'm not suggesting for a moment that I believe this is part of some grand conspiracy to persecute Linux users. This is just another dumb, short-sighted decision by Lenovo that results in them trying to sell semi-broken hardware.
Indeed. "Syndromes" are very hard because there's no real way to test for them. Once there is, the condition can be classified as a disease (or whatever) and progress can be made. It's very hard to make progress without being able to test well. And that is true across disciplines (I'm looking at you, Education).

I think in the early days there was a lot of initial skepticism because, if there were real cases they were diluted by people complaining to their (chronically tired, overworked and stressed) doctors that they were tired. Doctors thoughts were, "welcome to the club." And there is a certain subset of the population who complain constantly about medical conditions- indeed it is the foundation of most conversation it seems- so with no good way to conclusively test for the condition it was often dismissed.
A framework like this would be awesome if it used the browser engine on the system rather than CEF, or allowed that as an option. You'd be able to get Mac programs that are just a couple of MB then, rather than having each of these programs weigh 50-60MB. The runtime characteristics might not be much better, but at least every binary is a bit smaller.

Of course, this is a minor complaint on modern systems...
Not only that the major carbon growth is going to come from large parts of Asia and Africa where people are still without power.

You don't. Dokany allows a user-mode application to expose its own virtual drive.

Examples of possible use cases:

- Mount a zip file as a drive letter

- Mount an ftp site as a drive letter

- Mount an Android device as a drive letter

In all the above cases, there's ways to view zip files, ftp sites, and Android devices in Explorer; but you can not open these files in any application you want unless they are copied to a local disk.
γ-correct scaling is good, but will GIMP support area-downscaling? I.e. if you downscale three times, you average each three (or 3×3 if both axes) pixels, not choose any one of them. Currently you get moire patterns, and "interpolation" is not a correct way to do downscale more than ½.
interesting method, but do you stop after the two hours 'earn' timer?

You _can_ remap Caps Lock. It's even in the [readme](https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements/blob/master/usa...). I was using Seil on El Capitan and after upgrading to Sierra I went to the Seil website and I see it says "use Karabiner elements now". Ok, I uninstalled Seil, installed Karabiner elements, got configuration example from readme file and it works as it did before. I use it to switch keyboard languages with Caps Lock key.
the Russian healthcare system lets tens of thousands of people die every year because they can't get stents?

Isn't that true of any nation's healthcare system? They do have finite budgets, and have to make decisions to draw a line somewhere.

This is the point that was blown out of proportion during the Obamacare debates, where the GOP claimed the legislation would involve "death panels". This caricature was hyperbolic enough to backfire, but the fact remains that there's always going to be a decision about where to invest scarce resources.
You are essentially right. But I would say anything that helps one of these harms the other.

Part of the art of good language/library/thingy design is to understand, and then defy those trade-offs. Try and have you cake and eat it too. It's not always possible, but sometimes it is.

It just don't work this way in Russia. Clinics financed directly from the budget for this kind of operations, there is no option in bringing your stent and then get your compensation for it from the state.

Of course you may pay for the operation by yourself and don't expect any compensation - but this option is not affordable for 90% of the population.
There's a pretty good Frontline about this...I didn't see this fact listed in the article, but another huge problem is that it's generally not profitable for big medicine corporations to research new antibiotics, which means that for the time-being, we're stuck with our current regime.
I always enjoyed his articles on Dealbreaker, but I think his writing is very well suited for Bloomberg. However, I feel like his training as a writer for Dealbreaker taught him a style of prose that feels very fresh in a more mainstream news venue. I remember when he first started writing for Dealbreaker and in opinion, his writing quickly improved within a few months there.

Sounds a lot like live virus vaccines introduced to humans. Weak enough not to kill us and then we develop resistance.

Yup. I am an avid meat eater, love BBQ, all of the food I cook has meat in it- but I am absolutely aware that it is a luxury. I do my absolute best to buy higher quality meat as close to pasture raised as I can get... but I don't make that final leap to source out local farmers and buy directly from them to ensure that I know exactly how the meat I'm eating is raised.

But at the end of the day, not everyone can afford organic pasture raised eggs at $7/dozen. And the problem is that we've all gotten so used to eggs at $0.50/dozen or chicken at $1/pound that I don't think society as a whole could deal with the cost of meat equalizing to reflect the true cost of non-factory farmed production.

The overall thread was about the EpiPen, but you replied to a comment describing a pretty clear-cut case where bribery was getting people killed, and you wrote a completely general comment saying that greed in this industry wasn't killing people.

If you only meant that to apply to the EpiPen, and not to Russians being killed by their own government because of corruption related to cardiac stents, you chose a really weird way to go about it.

No, you illiterate moron, I said the temperature IN THE ARCTIC was 2.5-7.0 degrees celsius warmer 9000-7000 years before present (BP). Not 2000.

You're missing feedback. If you don't get regular feedback, all the thinking and patterns in the world aren't going to help you learn.

Feedback does not need to be external; it can be driven by the requirements you set forth for yourself. "I want to learn to build in low memory environments," leads to "This backend must never use more than 1MB of memory." "I want to figure out how to optimize programs," leads to "This backend must respond to every request in under 50ms." "I want to know everything about my current programming language," leads to "Obfuscate Hello World!"

Create a feedback loop and write simple programs, each time with different criteria. "I can only use functions," or "This must be as fast as possible," or "this must be as slow as possible (without using sleeps)"... the possibilities are many, and the time required is small for each exercise.

They make for great 20^H^H1% projects or "I need to step away from my current program" tasks.

I massively prefer FBA products, cause I do have Prime and FBA means I have it in 2 days. I hate dealing with non-FBA because experience has taught me that non-FBA stuff has no real shipping promises, and I've had times where it took 4 weeks or more to get stuff. So yeah, this seems like it's putting my wants first.
I guess my frame of context is, it's their money, and they can spend it however they may, but at least with this there is a chance of benefiting society as a whole.

While your example seems fitting at first glance, I don't really think it's relevant. This is private money spent on something that may be a public good, and in this case we do have a basis for saying that, yes, we can eradicate diseases, we've done it before and we're getting close again with others.
I entirely agree on your opinion of the antibiotic situation regarding large scale farming.
The problem is that we could not substitute another method to produce enough food to me(e|a)t demand. If we want to keep eating we must have safe food, and to keep food safe in frankly hostile environments we need to treat it. Until we can do without what passes for modern industrialised food growing and processing, we'll need treatments and colorants so we can pretend this is 'regular' food.
That's exactly it. When someone suggests a project trying to compete and clone sublime text I expect it to be actively doing so, not doing so a month ago.
