What risk are they bearing in comparison to the company itself, or separately even its shareholders? Or heck, even its bond holders? About the last person whose shouldering risk is an officer of the company, that's the whole point of officers vs boards vs shareholders.
This is what the docs say

"When you select this feature, extensions are installed in the database engine to support execution of R scripts, and a new service is created, the SQL Server Trusted Launchpad, to manage communications between the R runtime and the SQL Server instance."

So basically SQL Server is talking to the R session. The speedup is coming from R being installed locally and the "communication" which I've yet to figure out.
"commend" seems especially bad, it's both unclear and longer than "amend" would be.

My aliases list is pretty small, aside from amend I have

* get (pull --ff-only --all -p), basically a hard sync with all remotes, updating the current branch if there are no conflicts or divergences

* summary (log --oneline --no-merges), given a range from git fetch/pull, provides an overview of the commits you just fetched

* original (!git show $(cat .git/rebase-apply/original-commit)) during a rebase conflict, shows the original commit whose application failed (it can be difficult to untangle a rebase conflict, this sometimes helps a lot)
Which brings the question:

Are the manufacturers stupid enough to put the items on the internet AND embed a self-destruct command...

I'd add some sort of game mechanic for insert and visual mode. ( 'i' and 'v')
To give in, what about blowing up? If some dishwashers do this without tampering, imagine what a dedicated attacker could do.

Aside from shutting up a few whining Europeans, forcing a nominal change, road signs etc., will only cause useless death in the change over. American deaths are probably seen as a good thing by weak Europeans, but all science is already done in metric, you probably knew that and replied anyway.
There are routers that can control how much data a given downstream device can transfer in a given time, shut them down entirely during certain times of day, etc.

But then I'd guess the crooks will just compromise the router itself.
Market-communism is an actual ideology. Capitalism does not have any kind of monopoly on the use of market mechanisms.
Didn't know about those stash options. I've always used 'git stash save -u' to bring along the untracked files in the stash, that's the more common scenario.
One word: convenience
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't get the memo that says if you work in Javascript you have to use npm. Did that become mandatory in ES2015 or ES2016?

But again, you are blaming the tool for the bad things people do with the tool.
Only insofar as your types essentially become the bones of the program... which you'll then want to refactor at some point.

Types are awesome. Languages like Rust give them to me without having to learn a ton of theory. However, eventually, I realise that my types have boxed me into a certain design - and I need to refactor heavily, which involves rewriting a large chunk of my types which I was relying on to show me that my code was correct.
Because in my mind "entrepreneurship porn" is still relevant to this article, by pushing people who should know better than to take a risk when they can't afford to, into risking their livelihoods for uncertain gains. In an ideal world every kid can be what they want to be, but in this one its good to know your limitations as well.
I think that there has been a report of an IOT running machine being hacked and the settings suddenly being changed to max speed - causing the user to be thrown off the back of it.
A lot of the CV problems are essentially 'solved', though.

Feature extraction (AKAZE, BinBoost), matching (GPU brute force hamming), RANSAC (with PROSAC and relatives), bundle adjustment (Schur Decomposition with LM), point clouds (SGM, PatchMatch) and mesh (Poisson, FSSR).

Each stage has tuning, and real-time requires sacrifices on the hardware we have available, but we know with better computers we can have it. (HSA has me drooling, hurry up with Zen, AMD!)

IMO the harder stuff is in semantic segmentation of point clouds and dynamic scenes, but I have high hopes for the next few years.
If you're a regulated financial institution, say performing complex risk valuations, you need the ECC ram. It's a consumer device vs an enterprise, professional device.

> See, switches in git are there because git maintains backward compatibility.

Switches are there because git commands tend to greatly leak the abstraction and group behaviour in terms of the underlying plumbing, and because Git maintainers most likely would rather add new switches to existing commands than new commands intersecting with existing ones.

> Sometimes a switch really would logically be better as a whole new command.

Which could trivially be done without BC issues and thus can't be an explanation why existing commands keep growing new switches.

> This article is a great way to find those hidden things.

It would have been a useful article if it had been about showcasing interesting or useful git switches.
Just last week i heard a talk at a conference about this very topic because many of these smart IoT devices have horrible software and shoddy security practices and are basically never checked by their owners, while having quite powerful socs nowadays.

A non-gay person probably interprets their isolation differently. It'd be "why can't I get laid like all my friends?," not "why don't I want to get laid like all my friends? Am I broken?" I had lots of offers, but I didn't want it from the people offering.

But that's my limited perspective as someone who's not hetero or bi. I could be wrong. I spent my first 29 years thinking everyone was making up the whole concept of attraction before I figured out what all those feelings I had for guys were.
I think people here seem to implicitly assume linked buckets, those are bad on modern architectures for several reasons.

Look at (Hopscotch,) Robin Hood or Cuckoo Hashing for hashing with linear probing, high fill factor (~0.9) and _amortized_ O(1). I've seen a paper somewhere that proved Robin Hood worst-case O(log log n) afair.

You can make open probing performantly concurrent with 2 bytes of memory overhead per key/value too:

>What financial incentive?

If the network starts to serve an increasingly disproportionate amount of illegitimate traffic for n customers, then the ISP will have to increase throughput (and costs) to continue serving n customers.

It's tempting to argue that they could just pass the extra costs on to customers, but that obviously makes them less competitive, especially vs an ISP that better manages costs.

On that tangent, it could be useful for fuzzing inputs to image analysis algorithms.
In his early weeks, Powell recalled, he’d “received several security briefings that restricted his ability to communicate.” He’d questioned the NSA and CIA on “why PDAs were anymore of a risk than the television remote controls.” He never got a convincing answer.

Jaw. Drop. Seriously, I cannot believe nobody could convince him. I can believe he refused to accept the answers he received.

I would have handed Powell his Blackberry and tell him to call me or send a text to me saying "This is not secure", then hand him a TV remote to him and tell him to do it again with the TV remote. If I really wanted to get him into serious trouble, I would ask him to send me the message "This is classified"[1] from a secure PC inside a SCIF[2] (e.g. the Department of State).

He was a four star general which meant he spent years of his life (cumulative) inside a SCIF handling classified data that was sent and received only over approved, heavily encrypted channels. No Blackberries allowed (as pointed out in the story), but projector[3] remotes are allowed.

[1] Even though the message would not be classified, because it asserts that it is, all hell would break loose when the firewall triggered on the message and security personnel reviewed it. The shitstorm would probably take around a month to die down. I kid you not.

[2] Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF; pronounced "skiff")
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitive_Compartmented_Inform...

[3] TVs are useless inside a SCIF because SCIFs are thoroughly RF shielded and are disconnected from unclassified systems and communications (e.g. cable).
Yes, the title is misleading.

> And what made it possible that leading a comfortable life is basically possible for everyone? Surely not the people who want a simple life.

But is pushing everyone to push the boundaries even if they are not driven or motivated not counterproductive at some point ?

Well I may be biased by living in London and working in the financial industry, where personal enrichment seems to be the only accepted way of life. But all the scheming that is done to be on top is definitively keeping competent people out of the loop. Keeping your job is a more valuable skill that excelling at your job, and you don't need much corporate experience to know that there is a very thin overlap between the 2. I see people that are great with children, amazing artists, ... that are just grinding at their job just to keep living a life where they can afford the socially acceptable brand of car, clothes and activities, but dream of the day when they can spend more than a few hours a month doing what they are really good at.

More generally, what about all the support jobs ? Tech is very far away to replace teacher or nurses. Those jobs are loser jobs in a world that only value "potentially world changing career". You are more likely to become a millionaire as a random Goldman Sachs cannon fodder as you are as a nurse. What kind of criminal parent would encourage their kid to teach instead of getting a degree that let them into finance ?

Could it be deemed an act of self defense if done in the middle of such an attack? We have all these laws where we are allowed (in the US) to shoot somebody and kill them if they invade our home or business. If I am a business owner, why could I not then "kill" the device that is attacking me? Is it any different than killing an attacking dog that belongs to someone else? Interesting thought experiment in the very least...
It's either that, or a great disillusionment in ~5 years when the investments don't pan out, followed by the next AI winter.

For many students, I suspect the "computer fitted out in a research lab" is some dell desktop box someone shoved a gaming GPU in 3 years ago and that they have to share with 5-20 other students. Better not break it.

If you are into the topic and want to work on things outside of assigned projects or course work, upgrading a personal machine doesn't seem far-fetched if you can make room in the budget for it. $700 isn't cheap, but doable for many as a one-off purchase if they want it.

The next AI winter will come when we maxed out on the current technology, i.e. when model training will become too expensive. If all that is left to do is to run training on top of all of Youtube videos, one might have to wait for 10 years until that becomes feasible.

Are any developers avoiding working on IoT devices/interfaces because of the uncertainty regarding the security of these devices?

I have no idea of the liability of developers in this space, but the fact that the question even comes up in my mind certainly gives me pause.
Capacity planning is a pretty advanced mathematical science, I'm sure there are many Ph.Ds, who are experts in their field, who do this job across the industry.

I would say 20 minutes for car to become undrivable on a bad day in winter if no windscreen washers.

I know this from bitter experience of letting my washers freeze up and having to stop and clean the windscreen with coffee every few minutes!

Edit: The combination of low winter sun and heavily gritted and salted roads is probably the cause.
Who said "widely known"? There are tons of "good" apps.
Nissan has a different take on solving this problem by having variable compression on their new VC-T engines that were on here a few weeks ago. That approach is nice because you don't have to fill any reservoirs and can still get high compression ratios when not running under turbo boost thus increasing efficiency. I really want to see where that one goes, and it is actually in a production car I think this coming year.

I don't think there is a self-destruct command ever from what I've heard. There are plenty of chips with undefined behavior that can be exploited to essentially act as a self-destruct. Failing that I assume there are ways to kill it by overrunning the device's normal mechanisms.
Nutanix IPO: Distribution of Investor Returns
Bonuses for executives or bonuses for regular employees? Every bonus item in any employment package I've had has always been tied to the company's performance and my individual performance. I have never once worked anywhere with an automatic, performance-independent bonus, from tiny shops working as government contractors to large and well-known corporations. This is anecdotal, obviously, but I'm talking about myself and literally hundreds of thousands of other employees across all the organizations I've worked for. I am not denying such bonus structures exist in some places, but I'm skeptical that it's common or not considered an extreme aberration.
I wonder what would happen if we could build a time machine and send a bunch of RPis back in time to Silicon Valley in the 1970s, along with all the specs for how to build more of them (though this would be a lot of information since it requires fairly modern semiconductor manufacturing processes).
Why aren't the major backhaul providers like L3 forcing this as part of their pass through agreements? If the ISP cannot invest enough to follow the simplest of best practices then why do they allow them to connect? Seem dangerous for the backbone people.

These attacks are showing that's it's trivial to achieve remote-code-execution on many of these devices. So in a way, yes, they do have self-destruct built in.

Simple connect to one, and then overwrite the boot partition. Or rm -rf /. Or even just use the firewall to block all inbound and outbound connections (an IP camera isn't very useful if you can't view the feed).
The thing is, if you stop for a moment, spend a considerable amount of time of studying hard sciences, and apply that worldview to almost any "hard science" .. most of the hard sciences haven't been or are not that hard. Still, step by step (and misstep) and luck we have progressed forward.

The "objective data" isn't some inherent peculiarity of hard sciences. It's a feature of long tradition of aspirations towards intellectual honesty, distilled in the usage of mathematical methodology.

You can get a good data softer sciences, but this demands lots of work and paying attention to proper statistical methodology.

It gets more difficult less you can apply mathematics, but there's nothing in particular that makes bullshitting acceptable. Even in non-mathematical fields such as history and archeology, there's still possibility of hard evidence; it just requires lot of humility what you reasonably can infer from it, and sometimes you have to accept that there's not enough data for making conclusions.

The possibility of knowledge requires that everybody does their best to pay the necessary respect to the gods of science that enable its existence. Science is a social project that can't function unless participants believe in it and demand intellectual rigour of each other, work to reduce bullshitting. Giving up and joining the bullshitters does not make you more knowledgeable; it just amounts to treason.
Why the downvotes? It answer the question.

As I'm not a deep coder, what are the advantages of having an integer type versus a float type in the case of Javascript? Memory? Not having to use Math.floor, Math.ceil, or Math.round in case of funky divisions? I've used Javascript for years now without worrying over that particular detail.
Of course you sometimes need to refactor your types. That's fine; the type checker will guarantee that you can do so safely. You probably want to be cautious about changing your axioms, and to that end it might be worth distinguishing them explicitly, but that's easily done (e.g. you can put them in a separate module).
The article looks interesting, but it definitely doesn't match the submitted title.
Automated Pattern Libraries for Complex Web Design Projects
I have 20k lines of (my own) R code running in production (used intensively by a salesforce of up to 20 people who price bonds with it) and it's an unmitigated nightmare to manage. Slow as crazy. No threading to manage concurrency so constant batch jobs everywhere. Memory hog. On Windows (this is finance), unfortunate fairly frequent crashes. No real time feeds due to the horrible architecture of the interpreter. That said, beautiful charts!

Just Say No. It'll sap your mojo. Am moving the whole thing to a blend of C, Python, and a distributed computing framework (thinking of Flink or Concord.io).
Working with startups as well as corporate in-house teams, we’ve developed a strategy to automate pattern libraries for even the most complex projects. While there are many tools available, a tool alone does not guarantee success. It also requires a cultural shift in design thinking. Curious to hear other people’s experiences.
> The law of Demeter is a guideline

I'm not really sure that much more had to be said than that. There are many instances (especially when you have a data structure that is also a class) where the law of Demeter is a guideline and just that.

However, the caveat is that this:

int positionX = player.Position.X;

Should really look like this:

if(player.Position != null) {
int positionX = player.Position.X;
}

In which case having a getter eliminates the need for error handling to be spittled all over the codebase. Having an accessor means you can nip checking for a null reference in the bud. There are other benefits as well.

TL;DR: Estonia had a heavy reliance on internet infrastructure but wasn't big enough to take the gut punch of a large-scale, sustained, possibly state-sponsored DDoS. To prevent a similar scenario, the US should broaden the legal authority of law enforcement and intelligence agencies and invest in R&D.

To be honest, I don't really follow this line of reasoning, and felt like this was basically two separate articles glued on top of each other (a nice summary of the Estonia situation, followed by an unrelated and therefore mostly ill-motivated set of policy proposals)

The author himself concedes that an Estonia-like scenario is highly unlikely in the US for the obvious reason -- we have a crap-load more bandwidth than Estonia and a lot of experience with large-scale DDoS attacks. Conversely, intrusions, not DDoS, are apparently the most damaging form of cyber-attack against the US government and US organizations. But the concrete policy recommendations (esp. regarding taking the gloves off of LE/intel agencies) are mostly motivated by DDoS, not intrusions. And the policy recommendations that do address intrusions contain a lot of IMO magical thinking -- throwing R&D money at military contractors, for instance.
