This is right. Having a single materialized view containing nested queries is not a good idea. But you can factor out the nested queries into their own materialized views. The propagation of updates between materialized views can achieve an effect similar to that of complex triggers.

I should've been more careful with my original comment, though. I'm not saying triggers are worthless. But, whenever a materialized view can do the job, it's usually preferable.
Lawyers are funny:

>Today, we introduce Open Images, a dataset consisting of ~9 million URLs ... having a Creative Commons Attribution license* .

Then the footnote below:

>* While we tried to identify images that are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license, we make no representations or warranties regarding the license status of each image and you should verify the license for each image yourself.

I think this might be the most blatant instance I've ever seen of, "We have to write this even though it's essentially impossible for you to actually follow our directions."

Blender has been an incredibly useful tool and I use it almost every day. The number of things it can do is remarkable. Video editing, 3d modeling, animation, physics simulations, ray tracing, procedural texture generation, camera tracking, 2d image editing, character rigs, particle systems, the list goes on and on. The Blender Foundation continues to push out theses amazing updates despite the fact they only have a handful of people working full time. Blender is truly something special.
I used dejavu to fingerprint the entire ~2007 snapshot of the modarchive (repo of tracker-based music) which was about 120,000 individual songs in order to identify a song I'd first heard back in ~2006. There was definitely something special about finally identifying the song after almost a decade.

You make me jealous of my time in London.

My main complaints when I lived in London (in East-Central London, in E1W): a) long east-west travel times b) no overnight Tube options c) (though less important) no A/C on the Tube, are ALL being addressed.

It's depressing and sad that a city with three times the GDP (per the last time I checked), NYC, my now-home, has a shoddy and corrupt, slow-moving infrastructure upgrade plan. Every infrastructure plan costs smaller-country-budget levels of spend, takes longer than expected, and after the ribbon is cut is still behind its competition (because let's face it, international cities compete) in Europe and Asia.
As I understand it: this treats image generation as constraint satisfaction. The constraints are that each NxN patch appears in the source image. The satisfaction method is arc consistency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC-3_algorithm, except, when that settles down prematurely, pick the least-constrained patch and make a random valid choice, then continue. (If this leads to getting stuck, then give up instead of backtracking.)

Here's the thing though, none of that is supposed to matter. End users most definitely are not supposed to care what their sound server is. These are decisions that, ideally, are taken by the distributions.

Think about it this way: Okay, you got burned by Pulseaudio. But why was it your job to debug these issues? Why was it your job to decide to go back to Alsa, rather than fix them?

Now when a distribution decides to provide multiple configurations then it's also the distribution's responsibility to ensure everything works correctly. When a distribution like Gentoo decides to shift that responsibility to the user, expect to be burned - but don't expect upstream to be friendly to you.

Same for systemd. No end user should care. System administrators sure will care, but 99% of sysadmins I've talked to love systemd... so that's not the issue.

As a Linux enthusiast I'm sorry that this is the state of things, but this is the price we pay for customizability. This is the price of being able to change every little setting, every little modular bit of software, every library providing imperfect 90% compatibility with every other library.

Pulseaudio/systemd complaints are IMHO a symptom of a far worse overarching issue with Linux. They showcase the failures of direct democracy. The lack of context that users have and give. When a user says "I want to stay on Alsa", what they really mean 99% of the time is "I had a bad Pulseaudio experience that one time, and I heard a ton of bad things, so give me Alsa". Those same users don't understand the difficulties of supporting, in alsa, configurations that they don't necessarily use such as bluetooth headsets; configurations that other users ask for.

Thus, the failure of direct democracy: "I want what works for me, not what works for everybody".

They've also put a lot of effort into looking and acting more like Chrome. I killed auto update on Firefox when they added search suggestions more like chrome because it broke my workflow. People had complained about the ui being made more like chrome, features being dropped to be more like chrome, etc., for a while. Then you have the deprecation of the Firefox extension model in favor of, essentially, chrome's.

It is harder and harder to see how Firefox stands out on its own as opposed to being a chrome imitator. This is just the latest example. If they think they can sell Firefox based on a free and open web instead of based on power user features, a great extension ecosystem, or whatever, I can only say...good luck. I don't know many projects that have succeeded outside a small core of users based on ideology.

Servo may be the distant future of Firefox. But I am becoming increasingly pessimistic that Firefox will even make it to that future, which I feel awful about. I don't understand what mozillas leadership is doing.
But that view would be suspect, since tourists like pretty things, and tourists have pretty dollar bills. Pretty stuff is attractive to business because it attracts potential customers.

Rich people like to live near pretty things, making property expensive. Witness the expensive neighborhoods in NYC (eg. Central Park perimeter) and London (green, leafy, old, Kensington, Chelsea, St James, etc.). Utilitarian, in the dictionary definition ("designed to be useful instead of attractive") is the opposite of these places.

Utiliarianism, the greatest good for the greatest many, is a different story for these places. I feel like that's what you meant.

Your suggested conclusion might be better paired with a utilitarian approach?
Those are some hot map pictures!

I don't understand how Google's algorithm can be misled into finding sexiness in those. I imagine it has something to do with skin tones or flesh colors, but then what about the high-contrast patchwork of green and brown fields Google finds "likely to contain adult content"? That's totally puzzling.

The confusion with medical images is way more understandable. If you squint, you can almost imagine those are pics of skin cancer or lesions.

Oddly enough, I even see violence in the "violent" picture. In an abstract, Rorschach Test sort of way. Well done, Google!
I think there is a simple and rationale explanation for this...

I believe founders that step away from the role of CEO seek to put in place someone who prioritizes the business as (close to) as much as they do (ie before family, friends, life etc). The problem is how do you find someone to love (yes love or at least pretend to) the business without them owning a meaningful piece of it (the equity that is)? When granting sixeable equity is not an option (most founders I know who built successful companies are highly protective of it) the solution is you buy it. Mark Zuckerberg owns 30% of Facebook. The professional CEO that one day replaces him will own 0.0000001% of it. That's not very motivating for entrepreneurial CEO types who are ideal for these roles. Mark isn't going to go to sleep easy at night unless he knows the person running the show eats sleeps and breathes Facebook the way he has for the last 30 years. That person is buying his dream, he's buying their loyalty and commitment (and great judgment, etc etc).
Nice story, what's the actual cashflow though?
In the past few years, both the hardware caught up to and new practical techniques have been developed for multilevel neural nets (deep learning). It turns out that these are very effective at many problems that were not as amenable to earlier techniques. The theory of neural nets has been around a long time, but there has been a recent increase in the practical applicability of them.
ICANN Handover Controversey
Relying on libpulse is just relying on another layer of the shit sandwich that is the Linux audio stack. Windows and OS X, when they've revamped their audio APIs, the older stuff tends to still work, and tends to be able to take advantage of some of the improvements. Linux audio, on the other hand, is a layer of pulseaudio atop a layer of alsa's userspace components, which is atop a layer of alsa's driverspace components. Instead of people doing things right, and fixing the interfaces that already existed, they added more and more layers of latency-inducing, cpu consuming crap.
Blender's biggest weakness compared to 3DS Max, IMO, is the relative lack of non-destructive editing options.

Specifically, Max unifies (many) editing operations on the modifier stack. An object is the result of a sequence of operations on meshes/paths/patches/etc, from a root creation facility.

In Max you can take a torus, say, apply materials, move it about, distort the mesh, apply physics settings, and then go back to the first modifier and change the torus' inner radius.

In Blender, although you can parametrically create a torus with the same options as in Max and customize those settings immediately afterwards, once you edit the created mesh in any way - or even just select another object - you can't edit those settings any more: it becomes "just a mesh".

Max has mesh editing as a stage in the modifier stack (it also has Blender-style "real" mesh editing). You can layer multiple mesh edits on top of each other and toggle each off or whatever you like. Blender can do the same thing, but as shape keys. Both applications can make the same edits to a mesh, but in Blender they can't apply at different points in the modifier stack: they're all effectively applied before all the actual modifiers.
Titles aren't the most important thing to me in the beginning, but I'm more concerned about control. Since I'll be building the entire product, I feel that I should have a larger equity stake. Do you agree?
My own complaints I mentioned are about Project Mortar. Like I said, Mozilla does plenty wrong.

> It merely reduces the userbase to those whose systems look like the developers

Pulseaudio is included by default in almost every Linux distribution. Certainly in every major Linux distribution. This is Mozilla not catering to the 1%. I'm sorry but I cannot see a world in which that decision is incorrect.

I found that of all the people complaining about, for example, systemd, very few actually stepped up to actually maintain the batshit-insane ecosystem of init scripts of their distributions. Those that did, quickly gave up and admitted they were wrong - we had a few of those in Arch Linux when we moved to systemd.

For Pulseaudio, it's the same thing. Who's stepping up to improve the state of Linux audio? In fact, who, of those complaining about pulse, even have a clue about the state of Linux audio and how much of a pain it is to develop for it?
Blender is very much the Emacs equivalent for 3D editing software. It had a kernel of functionality written in C but the majority of the functionality is actually written in Python, which means there is really robust support for extensions and plugins.

Also like Emacs, the UI changes based on what mode you are currently in, which is super confusing at first because it is often not clear which mode you need to be in to accomplish some operation.

Also like Emacs, they have managed to cram an amazing amount of functionality into the program so it seems to do everything, and is rock solid (it would never crash, when 3DS Max would crash 3-4 times a day).

It's not for everyone, but it is very powerful.
I have previously installed shumway but it never seemed to work on the websites I wanted to load. :( So perhaps the remaining effort to get it working was too much.

Craziness comes later. Usually few years after several developers added not normalized tables, and it all grew organically with multiple apps depending on the data.

pdf.js and B2G cancellation were probably linked in that one justification for a pure JS renderer was to display PDFs on Firefox OS.
Then they should make PDF.js faster! The way it uses a canvas could be significantly improved. I guess the point is that they don't want to invest the engineering resources to do that, which is a shame but I understand the reasoning.
Blender on Linux is rock solid. Blender on windows isn't bad, but it does crash on me occasionally. It's funny, four years ago this wasn't at all the case. I can't tell you how much work I've lost from older versions crashing.

Your doubts lead you astray. The French and British have about the same alcohol consumption per capita (who drinks more depends on exactly what year you're looking at and what dataset you're using), but they're both about 30% more than the US.

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

It shouldn't be surprising, really. There are a lot of people in the US who don't drink at all for religious reasons, and the consumption of alcohol is more heavily restricted by law.
Compared to the example that you gave, it's not. Where the latter becomes more interesting is when the identifiers are no longer string literals, but actual identifiers (i.e. once SQL records are mapped to some kind of tuple, structure or object type in the language). Then you get things such as static type verification, code completion, refactoring etc.

Note that this doesn't require a full fledged ORM. True object-relational mapping requires dealing with things such as object identity.
What's the current ML pet method for multi-label image classification? It seems like you could string together a bunch of individual classifiers e.g. "Scene contains dog", "Scene contains cat", but is there an efficient (and effective) way of doing it in one go? Does it significantly increase the complexity of the network? I would imagine a cat detector would be far simpler than a cat and/or dog detector.

source: long experience with co-founder teams
good point that need's repeating many times

all these places with lots of people suck

a small team, in a nice place working on an interesting problem, it best

central control is always 'Godwin' like everytime

grooming elite people at big companys can be done, but its very rare, and its even more rare to see those people have a happy life,

much of what you see here on HN-YC is young people, who are always happy, like a puppy, the real deal is to view the elite post 40, and still working post 60, you simply don't see it much in high-tech, especially in california

I think the trend now that everything is cheap ( HW/SW ) is to be anywhere, and build a small team and do what you want, as long as you want,

all big company's all suck for much the same reason, the people who don't produce are made managers, then those who do produce get tired of stupid politics and being controlled by 'idiots', it's very rare for a producer to become a manager, as in time your brain will rot, managing people is not fun, it sucks bad,

I get real bored about all the BIG MONEY talk, I mean say $200k/year, that is peanuts, I remember back in the early 1980's, we used to make $50k/day, and then you could buy a house for $50k, now $200k, doesn't buy anything, except a high tax bracket.

In summary, people are being fed bile, keep it small, and work as a close team with like minded people, and run like hell from big corporations.

Also, if you are paying to mine currencies that don't have an exchange value yet, you are just speculating. The mining isn't profitable at that point because the currency has no value. It's just as likely that you chose to mine a dud. It's exactly the same thing as opening a copper mine at a loss and hoarding the concentrate hoping that it will gain value.
