I use gnuplot heavily. It was good 20 years ago, and it's good today. The problem with people rewriting the wheel, is that every new wheel misses lots of features from the tool they're trying to replace, and does many things differently for no good reason. The efforts of the matlotlib, ggplot2 (and so on) would have been much more usefully spent contributing to gnuplot. Instead we have a large number of half-assed tools instead of 1 truly great one.
Designing the Best Board Game on the Planet (2015)
One thing you gotta give Atlassian credit for is supporting multiple SQL databases. They put in the time and effort and that can be a rare thing in enterprise or b2b software.
Update: Hey ak4g, the latest version of pgslice uses this approach. We're seeing roughly 20% less load on inserts with it (in the short time it's been in production). Thanks for the suggestion!
What db does the new enterprise use - airbnb, tesla, uber... even google, apple, facebook, amazon?

If "software is eating the world", and the new enterprises are software companies (even if they don't sell software), do they write their own custom solution, optimized for their usage patterns?

Or do they "grow up" into traditional companies, and rely on outside vendors for their software? I don't think so.
This is just goal post shifting. That the US and Canada draw different lines between federal and state/provincial matters does not magically make the Provincial government of Newfoundland some adjunct arm of the government of Canada. Yes, in Canada, criminal law is a purely federal matter. Things that aren't a federal matter, like civil law, or like the bloody relocation program this story was about, vary wildly between provinces.

This whole insane dispute was whether you could refer to the actions of one Province as being a program run by "The government of Canada" without hopelessly misleading any sane person into believing it was a federal program. You simply cannot. It's a massive misunderstanding of Canada's governments to think otherwise. On Provincial matters, the provinces are wholly independent and asinine pedantry about minuteau of how constitutional devolution of powers to states or provinces works doesn't change that.

I'd rather say that I'm very impressed with the extent to which the FBI went to compromise these people from a technical standpoint. What they did is scary, yes. But I'm still very satisfied knowing that the FBI will put in not only so much manpower, but also technical and strategic effort to achieve its goals.
The safest bet is just to wait for a couple of minutes, observe the animal for any changes. It's going to become really clear in that time if there's distress, or just... being a dog.

Then, if you're still concerned call the police, and wait for them. If while waiting you become concerned for the dog's life, break the window.
Seems you don't know anything about beef if you are talking about Kobe beef. It's just like Bordeaux Wine, it's beef from a certain region ... it says nothing about quality.

Then we can talk. It depends on how you define best. Honestly, Japan has on average the best food, the maximum too (see michelin star restaurants). Average food in US sucks (I think you mean US when talking about America...).
Nice thought, but they're on the road with everyone else, so it's kind of not our choice about who gets to be subject to this experiment.

If you're mathematically inclined, Steve Keen himself recommends Dynamic Economic Systems by John Markus Blatt.

As an aside, I would also recommend reading Thomas Piketty's Capital for 21st Century. IMHO it gives you a deeper historic perspective on economics than just couple decades back.
That's a ridiculous argument. You don't just "hang around" child porn websites without participating.

Furthermore, the FBI achieved their goal at the end of the day. Just because evidence is obtained illegally doesn't mean that people who distribute CP are just off the hook. Sure, that's abuse of power. But it's absolutely ridiculous for any sane person to argue that these people should walk free because the FBI overstepped its bounds.
no you don't because that's a bad analogy. We do however go to states and could ties to protect the infrastructures they paid the contractor to build.

ISPs are uniquely situated to stop this kind of ddos because the traffic originates from IPs they don't own. The traffic has a spoofed from address. And as a rule, the ISP.should only need to send traffic out of a neighborhood from the block of IPs that is assigned to that neighborhood. You can put a filter on every switch or even every interface allowing only traffic from the IP or IPs on the other side of the link to send traffic. A company like Comcast could make it default part of account setup scripts. If everyone did that, these would disappear over night.
Their interest is in making the attack look more sophisticated than it may have been, making them look less incompetent because they'd be one of many victims state-backed hacking (they even say that in their statement)
Well that's the state. His analogy is like saying 'why would your fiber splicer police this.'
They're laws that don't get enforced because the companies are simply too large and can get away with it. It's more effective and more profitable for the court systems to go after the smaller 'offenders.'
No it isn't. The article just tries a little mental flimflam with "umbrella organizations". If you think about that for a minute it's just a no-true-Scotsman argument.
This is precisely why it's kind of scary that the FBI did what it did to apprehend these people. But we should not think that at the end of the day, the people caught should be free to go because of the means by which the FBI caught them. They each have their days in court.
For RAID hardware, it's not that unusual to have a device that isn't supported by standard Windows install media. To install Windows, you'd put the Intel-provided driver on another medium (or slipstream it into the Windows one), and click "load driver" in the installation GUI.

Lenovo apparently wants to treat that computer as an appliance; if someone borks their installation enough that even a system restore won't fix it, it's a call to Lenovo support, and a bill if the machine's out of warranty.

For customers whose Windows installations are working correctly, it's access to a faster, more power-efficient driver. That's how it makes sense, IMO.
Am I the only one who feels like all that math is required in order to properly implement an ML system? Bugs in ML systems are insidious and tricky, often difficult to find and manifesting in unexpected ways based on subtle issues in the underlying data or mathematics. Having a ground up understanding of why things work the way they do is a requirement to reasoning through all the layers of the system to find and fix issues.

Maybe someday all of that will be abstracted enough that you don't need to know math to do ML (like how now you generally don't need to know machine architecture to program), but how soon will that be?
I can understand the argument that stonewalling outright hostile news organizations like Fox News is justified. I don't know whether I agree with it, but I can understand it.

But that is essentially orthogonal to the issue of whether embargoes should be "close-hold", in those cases where the FDA does trust a reporter enough to grant them early access. After all, if the reporter merely wants to cast aspersions and FUD, a close-hold embargo doesn't really prevent them from doing so; they can probably come up with it on their own, or cite preexisting criticism related to the subject (regardless of how well it matches up with the exact announcement at hand). It is only if they want to get informed, on-topic reactions from sources with relevant knowledge and experience that the embargo gets in the way. Indeed, such an embargo may all but force even well-meaning journalists to include misleading or useless "context" - decreasing the accuracy of the article - just to provide some slight semblance of impartiality, as in this example from the Scientific American article:

> CBS plunked down an out-of-context quotation from the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, probably in hopes that readers wouldn't notice that it was two months old.

Now, I suppose it's possible that well-meaning journalists end up too credulously repeating the statements of sources with, as you say, vested interests in bashing the FDA. I suppose hamstringing them from even talking to those sources, along with all others, could hypothetically increase the overall accuracy of the article.

But let's be real. What you end up with is essentially a series of glorified press releases. Press releases have their place: to inform the public of a particular organization's viewpoint. True, the FDA is an expert organization and chances are its viewpoints are typically reasonable - valid - plausible. Indeed, they're almost certainly more studied and thorough than a quick reaction from any other source. But even so, valid is not the same as right, and for issues as contentious as the ones the FDA often ends up having to deal with, there is rarely any single right viewpoint. Thus citing a range of sources, rather than providing the public with any organization's viewpoint alone, is the only responsible thing to do. That is not yellow journalism: it is the essence of journalism.

Seriously: do you really think -

> Even after he updated his piece later in the day to get some outside comments, there was little hint of how controversial the new rules were. Members of the tobacco industry were generally unhappy with increased federal regulation of their business, while antitobacco advocates tended to argue that the new regulations were far too weak and took way too long to promulgate. And there was no mention, in Felberbaum's article, at least, that the agency had tried to regulate e-cigarettes several years earlier but was slapped down with a stinging rebuke from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia

- that omitting this context is an improvement?
That sounds like you're glad that the FBI is technically competent at bypassing the very constitutional protections that each of its agents is sworn to protect.
Thank you very much! This will actually run very well on the Pi 2. Before you attempt the rewrite into Ruby, would you give this a try and give me feedback?
The post is biz-dev, not friendly advice.

Look, it benefits YC if you apply. They are trying to reduce the probability that you don't apply. It takes a lot of time and effort from you to put together a high quality pitch and very little for them to evaluate it. They lose nothing turning you down. They lose a lot if you are successful but didn't bother to apply.

The numbers are kind of a crock of shit for reasons others have articulated in this thread. YC is a business, this is a press release. Don't be shocked that it's transparent biz-dev bullshit. (But do be offended, and do let it reduce the probability that you do business with YC, because if they can't treat you like an intelligent customer, they're probably peddling snake oil.)

Edit: I'm not trying to discourage startups from seeking funding. I just hate pre-21st-century marketing hype. Developers live in a post-Cluetrain-manifesto universe, we expect intelligence, authenticity, and depth. Our currency is trust, you build trust by being correct, thorough, and sincere. The blog post was correct but shallow and insincere. That loses trust; lost trust means lost business.
I can confirm that this is true. "Hilarious" is not the word I would use to describe it, "potentially criminal" I think is closer to correct.
I'll have to check out that GEGL code when I have more time, thanks for the link.

Yes, a linear interpolation is the same as a tent filter. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/12613415/5987

To eliminate moire artifacts you need to remove all frequencies above the Nyquist limit. In resizing applications there are two Nyquist limits, one for the input and one for the output; you need to filter for whichever is smallest. When upsizing the input limit is always smallest, so the filters can be constant. When downsizing the output limit is smallest so that's the one you need to tune your filter for. That's why I suggest widening the interpolation formula when downsizing.

I've been meaning for years to make a blog post on this subject. I don't think many people realize that an interpolation formula is also a filter formula, and that it can be manipulated and analyzed as such.

I have my own implementation of the classic filters that I use for my resizing tasks. It works in linear gamma space as suggested in the article. I've implemented lots of different algorithms, and I've settled on Lanczos-5 as the best overall compromise. One interesting observation, the Catmull-Rom bicubic interpolation is nearly indistinguishable from Lanczos-2.
New autopilot updates are only pushed out after they've been run against simulated data (in house validation, "the gauntlet" corpus of scenarios) and then real world data (inertly) and perform significantly better than existing algorithms.

I wonder how the resume of Jobs, Zuckeberg and Gates would look like... But does it matter? You don't need a resume to start your own company last time I checked.

A professor once told me "It's common to see 'A' grad students working for 'C' or 'D' grade students.", I think what he meant was that 'A' grade students would never take the risk of starting their own business against odds, while 'C' or 'D' students sometimes do not have that many choices, so it's easier for them to take the not-very-calculated risk.

Then again, all these guys were above average smart for sure and ahead of the time.

I'm not sure about the what advantages the MIT license has over your one-liner, but some people (eg Stallman) believe in using more restrictive mechanisms like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft, and your one-liner is inadequate for them
If you claim that copyleft is almost 'untested in court' you are either wilfully ignorant or trolling.
It's possible to predict race by looking at several other variables which are correlated to race. See Technical Appendix A and especially Table 8 for an example of predicting ethnicity using surname and state only: http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/201409_cfpb_report_proxy-...

Say this was not on TOR but the regular internet. Say I masked the URL of this child porn website with a popular URL shortening service and posted that link here saying "read this!" You click this link and are surprised and quickly close the page.

But that isn't what happened here. Or even close to it.

A better analogy here is something like the FBI staking out an illegal dog fighting ring (which isn't exactly easy to get into in the first place) and then tracking the cars of people who visited it.

Maybe they should have to get a warrant, maybe not - I think there are valid arguments on both sides of that.

But let's not pretend these people didn't know exactly what they were doing. These aren't innocent people tricked into it.
For those of you unfamiliar with partial function application, it's a good way to replace many classes that consist of nothing other than a single "do the work" method and a constructor or setters for the configuration/dependencies with a single function.

You put the configuration / dependency parameter(s) first, and the more "volatile" parameter(s) last. Rather than having a constructor call, you partially apply the things you want pre-bound (config, deps) to create a new shorter function that acts as the "do it!" method.

E.g. - write a function to send emails. Put the "reply to" parameters first. Partially apply that data. Use the resulting function to send emails to specific people. Bind on the distribution list name argument. Use that function to send alerts to those recipients. Bind on the content of an alert. Use that to send an alert when needed, without having to come up with any of the input, just the 0-argument function. Overloading, alternate constructors, subclasses??? Screw that. As long as the parameter order is reasonable (least to most volatile), there is seldom anything to be "refactored"

"Currying" just means that you apply a single argument at a time, until you get down to an "arity 1" function, after which the final argument runs the original function with the last remaining argument, rather than returning an "arity 0" function. Here is an example library that does A LOT of currying: http://ramdajs.com/docs/

If I apply/bind a function to my higher order function, is that dependency injection, or subclassing? Who cares.

I like arity 0 functions. They make nice event handlers.

I have been gradually converting to Javascript for the last 8 years. My paradigm has definitely shifted. I know how miserable static OOP is, and won't be going to my grave not knowing :-) (here's the quote: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nodejsis/permalink/142940052...)

Aren't there botnets that use their actual source address when spamming a DDOS target? How do you defend against that type of attack?
>This new picture raises a key question: did the first migrants to the Americas really race over Beringia just as the great ice sheets were melting?

I'm not sure that I subscribe to land bridges as gateways for early humans to move between continents, especially in the north. The Inuit/Eskimo peoples are and were perfectly capable of moving and living on water, frozen water but water nevertheless. Humans need not have waited to walk across dry land bridges. They were perfectly capable of migrating along ice sheets, or even setting out into open oceans. It would not have been much fun, but the journey would have been made either deliberately or by accident.
If a bot is using its actual source address, you can block its IP at the edge (and even ask the ISP to investigate). Thanks to IP spoofing, that's totally ineffective, so instead the only way to make the attack stop is to null route the host.
