Python implementation of Deep Learning book
For the application we were considering and the algorithms we liked from CGAL, exact computation wasn't really an issue. I agree 25K is peanuts if the choice is between developing yourself from scratch or licensing something from CGAL. But in our case the choice was between CGAL, using a simpler and possibly less advanced/less accurate solution, or using an alternative LGPL package. Especially considering the many dependencies most CGAL packages have on other packages, the value proposition for just using a small part of the library for a single algorithm quickly becomes a hard sell...

"Consonant" vs "dissonant" is subjective: it's a matter of perception, taste. The way you test the hypothesis "This chord is more consonant/more pleasant than that other chord" is by asking a lot of people. Just like "steak tastes better medium-rare than well-done". Physics & chemistry can inform the discussion but it cannot prove or refute the hypothesis.

I'm reminded of a quote from Moore in "Thinking Forth":

"A lot of conditionals arise from fuzzy thinking about the problem. In servo-control theory, a lot of people think that the algorithm for the servo ought to be different when the distance is great than when it is close. Far away, you’re in slew mode; closer to the target you’re in decelerate mode; very close you’re in hunt mode. You have to test how far you are to know which algorithm to apply."

"I’ve worked out a non-linear servo-control algorithm that will handle full range. This approach eliminates the glitches at the transitioning points between one mode and the other. It eliminates the logic necessary to decide which algorithm to use. It eliminates your having to empirically determine the transition points. And of course, you have a much simpler program with one algorithm instead of three."

"Instead of trying to get rid of conditionals, you’re best to question the underlying theory that led to the conditionals."

That's part of a chapter of the book called Minimizing Control Structures. Forth guys are crazy about taste, and if I've learned anything from reading their stuff, it's that chasing tasteful programming to its end gets very hard.

OP is right on the money. The hard thing is that it is a creative process, and takes a real understanding of the problem you're solving to do it. Worst of all, aside from the feeling of solving a puzzle well, the benefits only begin appearing much later. I'm glad the kernel team takes it seriously.

This isn't an API though. 'head' is fine being implied, and if 'entry' doesn't exist, why is it being passed in ? That's a further code 'smell' to follow up.

Sure, you need to be massively defensive if you're writing an API or boundary, but within an owned codebase, if you're eliminating edge-cases, you should follow them all the way up.

tl;dr if you're calling remove_list_entry, only do so if you have an entry.

Vanilla Amiga OS 3.1 has a scsi.device (think hardware driver) that can only talk properly to storage devices up to 4GB in size. Disks bigger than that will get corrupted as any sector offset bigger than the 4GB boundary rolls around back to zero.

For a long time there has been patched unofficial scsi.device files and in Amiga OS 3.9, an official scsi.device that doesn't have this limitation.

Hardly any real[1] Amiga fan runs stock Amiga OS 3.1 - most of us have loads of patches in our startup-sequences to overcome modern day issues.

[1] There is a large segment of the Amiga community who only game on their Amigas using 4GB CF cards on the IDE channel and a product called WHDLoad (http://whdload.de/), they do not care about the OS so don't fiddle with it.

Sometimes, parts of the license numbers carry Information.

For instance, German license plate KA-WT 342 is from the City of Karlsruhe ("KA"), and is privately registered (letters after the dash).

KA-T 34H is a Karlsruhe privately-owned historic car (H at the end).

KA-4734 is a car owned by the Regierungsbezirk Karlsruhe (most likely a police car)

0 57-274 is a car owned by the embassy of Indonesia in Germany (0 for diplomatic, 57 for Indonesia)

BN-173-345H is a historic car owned by an UNHCR (173) employee with diplomatic immunity working from Bonn (BN). Cars owned by the UNHCR itself would be 0 173-788H...

This kind of quick-glance information gets lost when you introduce vanity plates.

We do have "Wunschkennzeichen", though, allowing you to choose the random letters and numbers from the pool of those combinations not yet used.

Law in Belgium allows an anti competition clause only in certain cases. When it does apply, the employer still has to pay half of the salary for the length of anti compete clause. There's still a limit on the length (12 months), various limitations on when it applies, etc.

See http://nl.workpocket.be/2/3/het-concurrentiebeding/

Netherlands also has various limitations on anti compete clauses. Generally, they're not valid: http://www.lbv.nl/actueel/wet-en-regelgeving/146-het-concurr.... Since 2015 they only apply to full time employees and there should be a very good business reason. Meaning: it should not apply to everyone, at most a limited amount of people.

This is a good question. I think if you were offered better salary, the former company should either match it or let you take new contract.

Hasn't been my experience. I have recent 11-month and 7-month gaps and it hasn't been a problem. Additionally, I've switched companies a LOT during my career and I don't get asked about that very often. When I do, I just say "I kept getting offered better opportunities and more money" (100% true statement).

That usually ends that part of the conversation and we get onto something more relevant.

Exactly. The views on this are so twisted in US. People actualy believe that its the company giving away everything. Truth is if youve worked on quantum computers for five years youve generated so much of this know how. Youve invested ideas, energy, time - its you givin away knowledge not company.

Gaining understanding of the browsers people use
It is too easy to miss a bug, which is why there was an audit.

I really don't understand the risk of US incorporation that you're talking about, or why it is better or worse than any other country without introducing other potentially even less desirable risks. Can you explain further?

More recently the US is known for failing to force companies to add back doors (see Apple/FBI). It's probablg worth noting Jospeh Bonneau (EFF) is on the board of Zcash. I just don't see the risk that you're seeing, sorry.
It's not a fair negotiating position. If a company wants everyone on a non-compete, they'll be able to do so without providing any benefit for almost all employees.

I've had a company try and add a non-compete to a contract. They're generally not valid where I live, but it is always a hassle between having rights and getting that right. So I crossed it out of the contract (legal thing to do). That was a first for that HR, but it was accepted.

Note: talking in general. There might be exceptions in certain situations. E.g. CEO/strategic level functions or in case the salary is continued for the length of the non-compete period in case of not being able to find work (Belgium law ensures half of the salary).

They are customizable in Vivaldi (https://vivaldi.net/en-US/teamblog/162-mouse-gestures-to-the...), another browser, which is made by ex-Opera folks, include the CEO and former core devs. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but Vivaldi is also Blink-based and has been restoring other Opera 12 features than Opera Opera has.

Ironically, this site says "You have only 30 secs" to catch people's attention, but fails to do it itself. Yes, they have a video explaining what they do, but just getting out my headphones so I can watch it would take about 30 seconds. And I don't know why I would want to.

If you want to catch my attention in 30 seconds, your web site needs a sentence like "we provide <insert service here>" at the very top.
I love the addition of async `getInitialProps` (more for being async than getting props, would be as fine for me as getInitialState).

The logic for rendering loading screen in a component can quickly get tedious and annoying, such a pattern helps having a global loading screen and still allow the component to be responsible of how to fetch its data.

I believe the intention of Google Fiber project was not to make money directly, but to put pressure on other ISPs by showing that Google can actually enter the market and act as viable competitor if they don't behave.

For me this sounds like somebody just made a high-level decision that this thing is no longer important for Google's mission. As we have seen, they have been trying quite hard to focus on fewer things. It's not necessarily even about money. Each individual business requires some attention from the (top) management and they are competing on talented people inside the company.

I wish Chrome would adopt Vivaldi's and Opera's feature to not close the window if you're closing the last tab. This works nicely in Firefox, Opera and Vivaldi, and I always accidentally close Chrome. I've seen Chrome extensions for this, but they don't do this properly and take up considerable memory for something that should be a core feature.

That argument is flawed because an offer of employment is based on current and future expected value in a job role, not on unexpected new value that gets added by non required innovation. New ideas which bring new value should entitle an employee to additional new compensation if the company wants to claim ownership of those ideas regardless of where they are made.

Yep, letters cost almost nothing to send. Almost all employees have nothing to worry about for one reason.

One of the characteristics of an emerging protofascist society is that suddenly people are being disenfranchised because of the blanket reason of "national security".

Another characteristic, by the way, is the thought of forcing neighbors to appease the country by means of economic or military force.

History shows us that these things usually don't work out too well.
It also depends on "the lowest price someone is willing to sell at", and you can start sketching it graphically, and have to ignore "some people don't have the money to buy" and "this only applies to people actually trading stocks", but at the end it really has no impact on OP's point, namely that stock price is a reflection of a collective opinion, subject to the full range of flaws tainting all human perception.

> This example shows a commonly used matrix of quantization factors , one for each basis image

Key point here that isn't spelled out in the text is that the low frequency stuff (top left) is weighted higher than high frequency stuff. After dividing by the quantization factora and rounding, most high frequency stuff rounds to zero (which is mentioned, it just wasn't spelled out). Higher quality levels don't have as large of factors there and preserve high frequency data.

(Edit: just got to where gets detailed later in the quality section, but still feel it should be mentioned where that matrix is first shown)

Meteor released version 1.4.2 improving build tool dramatically
I agree with you.

It's basically:

1. now we can vent frustrations publicly more easily, anonymously (this should, I hope, lead to fewer actual violent incidents, sort of like many smaller earthquakes relieve pressure and reduce the risk of a big one)

2. since venting frustrations is very, very public and there's basically no curation for content these days, there's a deluge of garbage that could somewhat be avoided in the past

I think it's a good process since at some point we're just going to get immunized: we'll discover better channels, we'll improve curation and since all the garbage is floating to the top, there's a small chance people will actually notice it and actually act, i.e. try to take care of some of these misguided loonies.
