I just wish MS would either ease up on some of the restrictions on their UWP apps, or bring out a UWP adapted file explorer.

Right now you need to drop back to the "old" desktop file explorer (though ribbon seems to take some pain out of it once you bump the font size a bit), complete with all its UX gotchas thanks to the mouse assumptions.

This because UWP apps can only manipulate certain folders by default, and you have to authorize others (via the age old file picker dialog no less) manually. On top of that you can't launch a exe or similar from inside a UWP app.
Well then everything is fine, what could go wrong.
Yes, I probably should have added "in equal temperament, ...". I would say that most of music theory assumes equal temperament because it's the simplest to deal with from a theory point of view, because it allows you to modulate to other keys with no restrictions, and because deviating from equal temperament is something that is more of the performer's choice than something the composer dictates. For instance when choirs hold some consonant chords (eg at the end of a cadence sometimes), we tune the notes in just intonation (ie away from equal temperament) to get the nice "ring", and barbershop quartets sing some intervals about one-third of a semitone differently from what equal temperament would be (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_seventh_chord), and leading tones are often sharpened quite a lot for melodic purposes; these adjustments are something that you do naturally on a continuous pitch instrument, and composers normally don't specify them.
Matt, there a tons of frameworks at different levels.

There are ones like Beego (https://beego.me/docs/intro/) that others have mentioned that have all the batteries included.

Others like Gin (https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin) that have a lot built in and offer an stable API and good performance.

Gorilla (http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/) offers pieces you tie together but are at a lower level of abstraction.

If you use the standard library, you have to build a little bit more, but you do not have to deal with dependencies or changes in 3rd party APIs.

Without the pointless veneer of physics, this phenomenon has been well-discussed under the moniker of "preference cascades".

For instance when you have large majorities in favor of immigration restrictions, preventing illegal immigrants from receiving public benefits, deporting immigrant criminals, etc, in the context of a massive gaslighting campaign to convince them they are an evil racist obsolete minority, it doesn't take that much of a spark to harness their latent preferences and make it clear their power level is greater than anticipated.

They have surpassed Apple a long time ago, with their Surface Pro and then Surface Book. The fact that Apple is rumored to remove function keys and include Polaris GPU instead of Pascal in their new MacBook Pros will be the last nail in their coffin.

Oh, and Microsoft have just made their laptop heavier than previous version to increase battery life to 16h. At the same time Macs are getting "thiner and ligher" (C)
No idea what the No True Scotsman fallacy has to do with this; it involves dismissing an example, but no example was offered. You're welcome to offer one, if you'd like.

We listen to foreign music and find pleasure in the voices because a voice itself is expressive, independent of language: a cry, a laugh, an imprecation. The same is true of light, shape, etc., but artists who work with these qualities independent of their reference to objects tend to choose media other than photography, for obvious reasons.

My extension's still in the beta stages, so please pardon any shortcomings. But it's pretty much ready for use.

What do you guys think?

*Description:
Do you usually buy products that "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com"?
In other words, do you prefer items officially sold by Amazon™ and not third-parties, and you want that to be ensured effortlessly and automatically? Heck, do you even know such a difference actually exists and do you think everything you buy from Amazon.com is always directly from the official Amazon (the seller, not just the Website)?

Then, look no further: Loyal Smile™ is your solution!

It automatically selects Amazon, Inc. as the Default Seller on Amazon.com. Automate and no more manually switching sellers to Amazon needed, which may even help avoid accidental purchases from third parties!

It's also so Amazonly Easy To Use™! Just install it and off you go easily shopping from official Amazon, always.

Moreover, whenever you change your mind and decide to purchase from third parties, you can do so easily: this extension gives you the option to disable the automation on specified/all pages--so you're always in complete control.
Component will mount/component did mount is effectively construction. Component will unmount is effectively destruction. Apparently them changing the names makes you believe thats not what it is

Polymorphism and inheritance can be implemented if you wanted. Mixins were used for a while.

Xml is react native and all other alternative rendering that use jsx syntax and a form of react

React alternatives where you create/destroy/append/prepend would be the DOM.

Patching is interesting in that the inline html isnt actually html until the end of the render loop. I dont remember seeing that anywhere else to be honest. It seems more similar to transforms like in node streams.

There's also pigeonholing. I've seen it happen plenty of times. If you helpdesk even momentarily, to pay the loans and get some food, you'll never touch an IDE again professionally until you scrub that from the resume. Replace some dude's mouse and you'll never compile source code for pay again. Ever. You're done with paid software development forever never to be permitted to return. I've seen it happen to decent enough programmers...

Looking at ops post history he's a C++ robotics guy and HR will never let that resume past unless its a specifically C++ Robotics position. In IT you gotta treat your successful past jobs or degrees like other professions would treat a minor cocaine habit, well, uh, sure I accept that a long time ago I wrote Perl, way too much Perl, did lines and lines of it, but that was a bad time in my life, which is over, and my true calling, as my heavily doctored resume indicates, is I've always been a Scala guy. Even when I started computer work in 1981, my first 23 years in computing, I was really was a deeply stealth Scala guy, I always knew back when I was writing Z80 assembly code decades before Scala was invented that I really wanted to program in Scala, I just had to kind of do it in Z80 assembly the first few years. Did I tell you how when I was writing MVS CICS mainframe code I was totally writing it just like I was using Clojurescript Hoplon last week? Yeah totally man, really. Well anyway its all good now and my parole officer, er, I mean life coach, says I've turned my life around. Sure I do a line or two of Perl on the weekends or when I get really drunk, just like everyone else, amiright? but it never negatively affects my work life. Thank God that Larry Wall tattoo I got in prison err, I mean when I was doing lines of Perl, is on my butt and not my face, that would be totally awkward to explain at interviews. Sniff. Oh geeze I hope you guys aren't gonna be like IBM where they tested me at the clinic to see if I still had a problem with recreational Perl use, sure I came up positive and I still say that test was rigged. I mean you run SLOCCOUNT on anyone's entire github repo its gonna come up positive for a couple lines of Perl, everyone does it and I'm actually a lower risk because I did lines and lines of Perl until I couldn't handle it, and after treatment I'm totally better and less likely than some rando off the street to get addicted to Perl, I gained a lot of wisdom and experience the hard way, and I can grind awesome prison shanks out of a plastic spoon and oh sorry got a little off topic there we were talking about how I was a Scala programmer for 23 years before it was invented. And a damn good one too aside from doing a couple lines of Perl on the side, but I'm all good now. Yeah its crazy and the last paragraph was a little over the top but it really is the only profession I know of where you have to downplay past success like other professions would try to hand wave away a minor drug problem.

Asked about its actions, the agency told Reuters on Tuesday it was seeking to protect its work from external interference and defending its panels' freedom to debate evidence openly and critically.

Scientific studies in the public interest conducted by an organization like that should be open. Outside groups should be given the opportunity to verify your results. That's how science evolves.

Until we have a way to extend seL4 or something like it to full multiprocessor operation (without the multiple kernels with separate resources limitation that is currently the only way to use multiple processors with seL4) I'd disagree that we can build general-purpose OSes with verification. Our techniques for verifying concurrent programs are still very primitive and cumbersome, and I don't think many would take an OS where processes can't use multiple hardware threads seriously.

Also, seL4 (being a microkernel) leaves out a huge swath of kernel-level facilities that need to be implemented with the same standard of verification (resource management, network stack, drivers, etc.). Running on a verified microkernel provides a great foundation, but these still add a ton of code that needs to be verified. Plus the concurrency problem will strike again at this level.
It's a property of the zero knowledge proofs in question; they're called Succint Non-interactive Arguments of Knowledge because their size grows sublinearly with the size of the statement being proved. In the case of ZCash, the statement consists of proving things about the blockchain, and things are set up in such a way that the size of the proof used is 288 bytes, ALWAYS.
On a scale, the only thing that really goes is biological evolution. And it blooms after stress events.
It could very easily be a feedback loop though
Just pointing out that software will likely require adaptation and scaling in the future is a huge point of differentiation.

Jurgen Schmidhuber has an interesting perspective on the rewarding aspects of art and music.

To paraphrase, "Artists (and observers of art) get rewarded for making (and observing) novel patterns: data that is neither arbitrary (like incompressible random white noise) nor regular in an already known way, but regular in way that is new with respect to the observer's current knowledge, yet learnable (that is, after learning fewer computational resources are needed to encode the data)".

In other words, enjoyment of art is about learning (easy) patterns. Schmidhuber likens "fun" to the improvement of an observer's ability to compress a scene.

Real-time neural style transfer is not new; in the past year there have been several academic papers [1-4] on this topic and several open-source code releases:

https://github.com/jcjohnson/fast-neural-style

https://github.com/DmitryUlyanov/texture_nets

https://github.com/chuanli11/MGANs

Neural style blending is also not new; I did it more than a year ago using optimization-based method:

https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style#multiple-style-ima...

The novelty of this work is a clever way for training a single network that can apply many different styles; existing methods for real-time style transfer train separate networks per style. Their method also allows for real-time style blending, which is very cool and to my knowledge has not been done before.

You're right. I guess I read what I wanted it to say and what what it actually said. I'll leave it up here as a reminder to read better next time.
I think you're reading too much into my argument. I never said you win _forever_ but that it's not worth trying to win market share iteratively when an incumbent with heavy network effects is already well serving your niche.

I'd argue myspace is a perfect example of this, largely due to when you look at when it was finally dethroned, it was VERY sudden, and came after years of the platform languishing from a user point of view. It took a hell of a lot of pain to push myspace past the point where the network effect could be overcome.
It's passive income in the sense that if I just dropped everything and played video games all day, the income would sustain itself.

However that's far from what I actually do :). It simply means I can free myself up to work on new features or increase revenue. So I'm still working about on average 5-8 hours per day, 6-7 days a week.

I like to travel a bit, and work while traveling. Since I have no employees, this makes it easier to have this lifestyle. Whenever I get a chance to sit down in a coffee shop I'll usually stay a few hours and do work.

And actually, as it describes humans as the stewards of God's creation, green policies should be essential to their acts as Christians.

However, in the US, specifically in the South since that's my experience, many actively deny climate change and refuse to pursue green policies, ostensibly on religious grounds though when discussing it with them it either makes no sense or they can't establish any. It's very frustrating. They see climate change and green policies as some sort of atheist, pinko, commie conspiracy.
> Notice how the transferred images have none of the power of the originals.

They're not meant to. This is the development of base, mechanical technique, not of composition and theory. Lots of artists paint fairly mediocre pieces when developing technique and very often copy other works of art in the process.

> I don't believe that neural networks will ever be artists because they work on copying existing patterns. Until there is an element of randomness fueled by context, they aren't creating anything new. That's where genius lies.

What you ask for is actually a fairly simple architecture, it's just presently computationally intractable. So we're seeing if we can optimize the approaches to run on modern(ish) hardware.

Says everyone that is still paying full price for a 3 year old MacBook Pro....
Buildings have a far smaller state space, and that space is highly decomposable. There are only so many doors in the building that can be open or closed, lights that can be on or off, HVAC zones that can be on or off, or elevators that can be going up or down or stopped at a floor, etc. And few of those states interact.

Software systems have astronomical numbers of states, and while most of the discipline of software engineering is about how to minimize unintended interactions between them while still producing the intended interactions, we still wind up with lots of the unintended kind.
Weed makes people far more cautious, analytical and contemplative, which is not good for businesses that depend on poor impulse control.

Here goes: Aesthetic Theory is a posthumous book by German philosopher Theodore Adorno and is one of the most important works on aesthetics in 20th century philosophy. In it, he combines elements from Kant, Hegel and Marx. From Kant's 1790 work, Critique of Judgement, he draws on the idea of the Sublime and the notion that art has formal autonomy (which Adorno modifies). From Hegel, he takes a dialectical understanding of the ultimate goal or aim of art, and from Marx he approaches art as being inseparable from society as a whole.

He shows how art has a semi-autonomous 'truth-content' (a la Kant), but one that is always the product and embodiment of unresolved contradictions within the larger social fabric. (a la Hegel, and more so Marx).

Returning to the NVidia article at the root of this thread, this passage pops out as problematic (certainly for Adorno, but also in general): "In our case, we use supervised machine learning, with a dataset of photographs pre-categorized as aesthetically pleasing or not." There is a real sense of question-begging going on here. And Adorno would say that this approach forecloses the very fact that the definitional boundaries of these categories are constantly shifting and lack any real social stability.

It's gonna get legalized. And then his efforts will be seen as laughable.
So I want to address the article directly. People who are "Undecided" Trump voters as he's described aren't exactly good folks even if they were Decided Trump voters since many like Ben Shapiro (whom he referenced) are strongly opposed to personal civil rights when it comes to LGBT people. So all the author proved to me that there's educated bigots (yes, let's call them what they are and not shy away from it). Whether it's Shapiro's own belief that trans women are just mentally ill men or David Duke's beliefs that African Americans are less intelligent it's all about using such beliefs to control those whom they disparage. And they're not born out of paternalistic concern, they're born out of the same base desire to control and dominate people whom others see as less than human. So, I'm sorry if I don't want to give those people a hearing who want to do that but this is the modern age where we know better both scientifically and morally. There's no more room to debate the moral agency of people who work, live, and serve in the countries around this world just because they're different from us. I don't think less of the Shapiros in the world but I do question their intentions. If Ben Shapiro would support unconditionally my civil rights as a trans woman despite not agreeing with the prescribed course I've taken to resolve my gender dysphoria then all would be well. And that's all he and folks like him have to do. I'm not asking him to pay for my gender transition or to cheer me on. Just afford me my civil rights (the same rights that protect his faith as a Jew) and move on.

I have the "Microsoft Sculpt" keyboard, the older version. (Lovingly dubbed the "Batman" keyboard due to its resemblance to Batman's helmet)

It looks like Microsoft addressed all the pain points:

- An actual bluetooth device, so no need for the little wireless dongle.

- Function keys are actual keys and not plastic buttons.

Too bad they filled in the space in the middle. Oh well. Guess it's no longer a true Batman keyboard. But it's still the best I've used.

It's absolutely unfathomable to me that someone thought this was a good idea. If I'm calling 911, it's because I need professional emergency services.

Can someone name even one scenario where some random person off the street intervening is more likely to harm than to help when intervening in a situation based on this app?
If you think this is deceptive try reading the original announcement.
The indie tool market has a much stronger foothold today than they did a few years ago. Adobe, Autodesk, etc. still reign supreme, but that's slowly changing. They are being overtaken by smaller, more niche products. See affinity, sketch, figma, etc. Unless Microsoft can woo these companies into building apps for their platform, I don't see MSFT making a dent with this market.
