Not every decision is about cost minimisation. There's a resiliency motivation to place DCs in separate flood plains and separate power grids if possible. Whether AWS is following that, I cannot say.
There is no unique ARM instruction set, but three different ones that are in common use (and some additional less common ones):

There are AArch32/A32, Thumb-2/T32 (Thumb for older processors) as the two common 32 bit instruction sets and AArch64/A64 as 64 bit instruction set.

For example AArch64/A64 does not support no conditional execution (the encoding bits that are now available are used to encode 32 instead of 16 registers). On the other hand Thumb cannot encode many instructions that AArch32/A32 can. Thumb-2 was specifically developed to deliver instructions to provide equivalent functionality. If you want to look into details look at how UAL assembly is encoded quite differently into A32 or T32 instructions.

Also for older ARM processors support for Thumb was optional (though very common). On the other hand modern 32 bit microcontroller cores of the ARMv8-M series (cf. http://www.arm.com/products/processors/instruction-set-archi...) only support T32.

TLDR: Of which of these common three ARM instruction sets are you talking about in your question "How about ARM?"?

yep, 100 hours ?! ...and for perspective, it has been less than 2 months since release date in early August. That is a HUGE investment of time. I like the game (although I certainly haven't put 100 hours into it), it has some true innovation but its a friggin' game. How much can one expect from a computer game? You play it for a while until you get bored and then quit. 100+ hours of gameplay for $60 seems like a smashing success to me. I mean, how much time would a "great" game use up? Are we in South Park Territory (... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_Love,_Not_Warcraft)??

I get the feeling HG was forced to release it too early-- probably by pushy "project management professionals." Someday we may hear the juicy details of what happened.
"It depends." Go's wicked fast for a scripting language, fairly slow for a compiled language.

I just grepped over an in-the-wild Perl source code base. It had 137000 lines of code, of which about 150 had sort in it, of which about half of them were either tests that wanted to maintain key stability[1] or other things that don't generally come up in Go. And this is a language where "sort" is just... "sort". So it is very easy to use, and still doesn't come up that often.

I think it's easy to overestimate how important sorting is. Especially after years of horror stories about bubble sorts taking hours. Most people's primary objection to Go's sort will be the need to write three stupid-simple methods rather than its speed, and in practice that's still just an annoyance rather than a stopper, unless you have a really sort-heavy use case.

[1]: For example, "code that emits HTML attributes specified in a hash". In real code you don't care to sort those, but if you want to verify in modern Perl that {a => 1, b => ">"} gets converted to 'a="1" b="&gt;"', you have to sort because half the time they'll be reversed.

There is right and wrong, and that is more important than respect for other cultures.
From what I understand it, parent hoped women would be better than men in government (e.g. alluding to matriarchy vs patriarchy in societies), but the women that do make it in politics in our era are the same (or even more) cutthroat and ruthless politicians as the men are.

So, what you read as

"all things equal, men with X should be given favor over women with the same X"

is not really saying "favor men over women" but more like "don't bother voting a woman candidate if you think it will be better just because she's a woman, it will be just the same shit".

Or, maybe "those women that get to play at the top of politics, are even more ruthless than men, because they have to be so to match and surpass their male competitors in a male dominating field" -- so instead of a matriarchical viewpoint, you'd get patriarchy x 2.

> “My hope,” he tells us, “is this could give Valve a reminder/prod that they themselves have a responsibility, they can’t just blame individual publishers, and this might help them keep future games being listed, more honest.”

Why is it Valve's responsibility? And how did Valve act inappropriately at all? AFAIK they were the first publisher/store to offer refunds for NMS after the story broke that it was largely unfinished, and aside from some wasted time on the part of the players everyone walked away relatively unscathed.

The alternative would be that Valve would have to have a review process for every game that passes through Steam, which means they would have to charge a lot more for the Steam Greenlight service. The vast, vast majority of indie developers do not do this sort of thing, and benefit greatly from the audience and ease of distribution that Steam provides. I just don't see what offloading that responsibility to Valve would accomplish, aside from setting Valve up to be a deep-pocketed lawsuit target.
Fundamentally we are being cornered, marked and forced to buy their shit whatever and whenever we need something. We can't do much as individuals but we can expect different syndicates wanting slices from the same pie: China and their soft power government, Russian gov trolls for destabilisation, etc. This makes me think the US governement is well aware and happy with this development, from their geopolitics perspective. It is not liberals vs socialists, it is my shit vs yours to feed 8 billion consumers.
Ironic, given that it is Indian law which imposes its custom and belief that same sex relationships are wrong upon the gay people who live there.

I do believe in respecting the customs of other cultures - until they are oppressive and punish people for absolutely no good reason.
It's hard to think of a finer example of imposing ones customs and beliefs on other people than outlawing their relationships. Or does this only apply at an international level in your opinion?

They chose their initial partners somehow and did not include OpenAI. Maybe they thought this would make everything too transparent, maybe they see little financial benefits (those are private companies in general aiming to benefit shareholders), whatever. I see no problem with this. I wish OpenAI plays there eventually, but even now some of the partners go beyond what I would expect from a private company on fostering open AI research.

I am however worried that this would make it even easier for a government agency to get bigger and bigger datasets of personal information

I think that people emphasize knowledge too much. I think knowledge is a by-product of making senior developer.

Senior developer is about wisdom as opposed to knowledge. Juniors may learn things quickly, but what distinguishes senior is that you can trust them to do the right thing which is not always technical problem.

I like to compare this to asking children a question that they don't know the answer to. Some children will feel they have to come up with some answer and some will say that they don't know.

Junior developers too frequently feel pressured to produce a result and they don't see how saying that they don't know something is making them closer to producing anything. Senior developers know from their experience that this is just as important to know when you don't know something as it is important to know things. They will not feel too bad about not knowing something because they know the alternative is even worse.

I have the same feeling about this law as I have about Donald Trump. Even though you know it's bad, there's a teensy-weensy part of you that likes the fact that it's sticking it to Saudi Arabia and the political class that's trying to defend Saudi Arabia even though it's pretty clear those shitbags are pretty much behind 911.

Whatever it takes to best satisfy your customer. That's it.

No, I'm not being snarky, so hear me out...

I've met and worked with many developers over the years and lots of them have become very good with technology and user domains, but still have struggled to "crack the digital ceiling". These are brilliant people who have achieved serious things, but are still not recognized by the big decision makers as "senior", whatever that means.

Then there are a select few who always get the big gigs, big money, and big reputations. Why? Because they best satisfy their customers. There are lots of non-technical skills that help them, but I think the biggest is their ability to separate the signal from the noise and zero in of the most important things to work on and to get them done. It's almost like they have "satisfiability radar". And this rarely requires any special technical or people skills. All they really have to learn is a good grasp of the technology, a deep understanding of the customer's domain and business, and the ability to get things done through others. And how did they develop them? By good old fashioned grunt work, whether digging into the bowels of the system or getting up off their butts and relentlessly going around finding out whatever they needed to know.

Once you've figured out the best thing(s) to work on to best satisfy your customers, got them onto the decision makers' radar, and found a way to get them done one way or the other, you are no longer a dev or even a senior dev. You're now a digital rainmaker, the most senior dev of all.
I agree with you entirely. I think it's a fine game; it's not particularly deep, and the procedural generation has issues (no large scale planetary structures, like continents or oceans, mean that every place on a planet is like every other place; flying long distances doesn't do much).

But I still find it thoroughly enjoyable. I like the process of just drifting round the landscape, looking at the scenery; it helps that I hooked up a joystick, which makes the ship way more fun to fly. Even 30-odd hours in I still find new bits and pieces of game mechanic, and scenery that makes me go 'wow' and take a screenshot.

I do have a laundry list of stuff I'd like changed, of course. The top one on the list is to be able to mark waypoints on a planet's surface, so I can find my way back to places I've found before...

The general prices range from about €6,- (£5.13) to €11,- (£9.41) for a gram of weed or hash.

->28.3495 grams in an ounce

Prices in the coffee shops range from about €168/$188 to €280/$340 an ounce.

So yeah - gotta agree with that "pretty expensive" in the same way US at $250 an ounce is expensive.

iirc we used to pay around $50 for a half ounce of green (Been a decade or two since I bought any though), or 9 ounces of resin was $325

I was in Egypt a month ago or so and they were trying their luck at $25 a gram.

But at the same time, rural and suburban living have their own problems. You lose economies of scale when it comes to rolling out new technology (fiber, cable, etc). Residents have to drive more. Transportation of goods/services costs more. Some jobs (services) require you to be on-site - straight up software development is one of a few that doesn't require any live face-time (but even that goes away as soon as you move into executive management or sales).

The real answer seems to be somewhere in the middle. Well-planned urban areas should be able to mitigate much of the heat island effect. And if the suburbs are reigned in (and replaced with a more natural environment, with more plant-life, etc), we should see some benefits in the overall environment.

@rosiesherry Thanks for this, and congrats on the business. I wish you all the best going forward in your industry (which I had never heard much of before now).

It's incredible looking at the revenue breakdown just how much 'training courses and events' were bringing in compared to the actual 'testing services'.

use 1024 LSTM nodes per encoder and decoder layers.

Ah, as I was reading the paper I kept looking for how they generated a variable-sized attention vector using a simple feed-forward network. It seems that the LSTM is actually capped at 1024 nodes per layer, so the attention vector only can be a fixed size of 1024 and truncated to the number of unrolled steps.

From a practical standpoint it means that all of the <Legal> currency translations are done inside of china. You wire 100MM USD to a Chinese bank, they preform a book transfer and deposit the equivalent into your RMB account. The bank plays a weird middleman in the transaction. Same thing happens in Brazil with the BRL (and a number of other countries).
Unless American natives knew of Europe, it was a trivial discovery. When one continent discovers another, the relevance is the new link between them, and interactions between the two economies.

If we discover aliens on a new planet, the fact that the aliens knew about themselves before that doesn't change much - first contact may be when they discover us too.

But let's not pretend this isn't slightly about political correctness, and sensitivity over colonialism, which ruins the objectivity over the subject.
