How can anyone take the western media seriously on this issue? Duterte is well known for being a loudmouth, and you can _tell_ from the quotes that he's joking most of the time. Yet they breathlessly cover this as if everything he says is dead serious.

You might say that a head of state of a US ally shouldn't be talking this way, but I don't think it newsworthy anymore to jump whenever Duterte says something silly.

> Build more and everyone will be happy...eventually.

Except this still will not help due to the economic forces driving urbanization. Silicon Valley is a self-fulfilling prophecy and creating more supply will only help to drive more demand.

Every new person newly moving into a heavily urbanized area will drive 0.5 more persons wanting to go there due to new network and auxiliary jobs created (groceries, haircutter, ...). As more than 70% of our jobs are by now defined by interactions with other people, urban centers of excellence are doomed to grow.

This is why building new housing is only ever a short-term solution as well. The only long-term solution to urbanization and gentrification is making these areas less attractive by offering less jobs in a major area.

Of course it can be used without a pilot paying attention. But this rarely happens. If we trained drivers the way we train pilots, it wouldn't be a problem in cars, either.

Also, the comparison would be more relevant if you had as much time to correct problems that occur eight feet away from an oncoming lane of 70 MPH traffic, and as many degrees of freedom in which to do so, as you do when something goes wrong with nothing but 10,000 feet of air around you.

Air safety is an intimidating engineering problem, but it's utterly trivial compared to what it will take to build safe self-driving cars. Make no mistake, it's about time we tried... but we just need to not be stupid about it. Calling a glorified cruise control "Autopilot" is stupid.

I've never done anything with Scala. I've learned some Haskell, and I liked what I learned.

Lisp seems to be where I've settled in my programming. Mostly clojure, but I've been working through some common lisp as the JVM is a pain point for me. Inspite of all the libraries and ecosystem it enables.

I think I will perhaps continue with my idea of a lisp based hardware design language, as Scala is very definitely not appealing to me. I will take a look at clash though as Haskell was very compelling.

Thanks

> It is not done by those programmers who struggle to get anything done

I've had a different experience. When I see programmers over-engineering, it is often because they would struggle to work on something that mattered.

Instead of taking on the next big feature that would make a difference to the company, they try to redesign some schema, because they've redesigned schemas before. What's more, if someone asks them what they're doing, they can hand-wave and make it sound complicated and important, and the poor non-technical managers have no choice but to believe them and let them go on not doing anything important that might challenge them.
That would work if your tar was uncompressed. The lengths in the tar are meaningless in a compressed file.
> We also have the fact that you can join nouns in Germany to develop rather abstract concepts that are nearly impossible to write down this way in English

I can understand not being able to describe a concept at all, but I don't understand why it's so important to be able to do it in a single word. Wikipedia says Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is a shortening of Gesetz zur Übertragung der Aufgaben für die Überwachung der Rinderkennzeichnung und Rindfleischetikettierung, but I don't understand the benefit of shortening it to a single word versus shortening it to a shorter phrase or acronym.

I mean, USA PATRIOT Act, ridiculous as it is, is an easier shortening of Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act than a single word that itself is half as long as the phrase it's replacing.
Would that be a collision though? xn--mnchen-3ya.com and mnchen-3ya.com look pretty different.

Good point. I also wouldn't ever use it on the same network as any other private devices or use any of its services with private data (as noted, it is a fully functional phone - I would assume that it phones home regardless of my ability to detect it). Sure, the manufacturer would hurt their business by ripping off their clients, but we've already established loose ethics.
The benchmark is not very good because of this. I hope no one takes this seriously. They don't even use the same BLAS libraries for all of the frameworks.
Isn't supporting rent control a little like denying climate change?

When so much research and expert analysis shows something is bad, lay people are somehow oblivious "eh, I just don't believe it".

Worse yet, why is it so easy for people to like the idea of rent control but dislike the idea of cash assistance? If you want teachers (or whomever) to be able to live nearby, fine then just give them a cash subsidy.

Giving out cash doesn't kill the market economy, allows the benefit to be given out precisely, and anyone you want can pay for it via a tax - landlords, rich people, sales tax, whatever.

Do nothing or do something, just don't do rent control which hurts everyone.

> That's what regression tests are for.

Don't loose the point, I was written about another thing, not about tests. Every time when fanboys of functional programming (and scripting) are trying to argue that functional programming is a silver bullet they do write about tests, it's not an argument, tests are exists for any kind code no matter the code nature. Tests won't help you a lot with code analyzing, automatic refactoring and tracking down from where things came (coupling). In case of scripting (and functional programming) you will have to load all the code base in you head and only then you will be able to make some architectural decisions or perform a complex refactoring. Tests just help you to not break the system logic doing refactoring, that's it.

> Also, no amount of compiling or strong typing is a sufficient alternative to regression testing when it comes to refactoring.

No one was saying that compiling or strong typing is alternative to regression testing, don't know where you have got that idea.

It's pretty useful to point out the contradiction between progressivism and the embrace of literal segregation laws that cause sprawl, cause traffic, and hurt our environment. The prevailing concern about property values during America's urbanization was the arrival of black families. Once racial restrictions were overturned, the best "race-neutral" tool to protect property values was just to exclude cheaper homes from neighborhoods and rely on economic disparities to segregate for you.

That is what exclusionary zoning is. You can make neighborhoods expensive on purpose by zoning for fewer people than want to live in a neighborhood so only the richest can live there. It was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1975. It's time to eliminate it near jobs.

Anyone who claims to care about affordability while supporting laws that make their neighborhood expensive on purpose is full of poop.

Seconded! I'd love to have some in really high res (I dunno what for, but I'd love to take a closer look). However, even medium res would be really cool, IMO the generated pictures just a tad too low resolution to appreciate carefully.

Is it a compute/processing power thing? Does it take a lot more time to generate an image at say 5x resolution?

Also what I wondered about, quite a few of the images seem to have a sort of "canvas" like texture on them. Any idea why that is? Would a lot of the source images have canvas textures? Is it an artifact of the algorithm? It kinda feels like a highpass (edge enhance) filter as well. Or maybe they're just JPG artifacts?

That would probably look (roughly) like Intel Xeon Phi, which according to some was started as a GPU project. (they are also co-processors, but you can connect to one and log into a Linux running on it)

I'm not sure why you'd totally want to get rid of a general-purpose CPU to run Linux, set up data etc and keep the GPU part simpler (and fast) once you've given them equal memory access.
Would longer, say, week long TTL along with some redundancy have prevented this problem? Can it be done now to prepare for next attack? That is, TTL shortened when making updates, etc., but then set to a week the rest of the time?
Why would par2 need to handle anything related to encoding? It's acting on the data independently of the actual contents of the data.

That is their plan pretty much.ISP are feeling cheated for no good reason. They think while they invest in upgrading the infrastructure to support the higher bandwidth demand, content provider keeps Lion's. They want to control of that revenue stream.

In UK I recently asked for an upgrade of bandwidth for which they don't have to change anything since lines are already there, I still had to sign a new 12 month contract despite being a long term customer. Did I had an option? Not really because only they all have similar terms. There is so few of them that customer don't really have a choice.

Fun times. My first experience with modem file downloads was the ASCII Express protocol on my old Apple //. Cutting my teeth on modem init strings, and keeping current with file protocols helped me break into IT despite not having a degree in it.

For example: "What, your Xmodem transfer always fails on the same block... oh, you most have xon/xoff flow control turned on. Try swapping that &K4 with an &K3 instead."

At one wacky point in my career, I ended up supporting a program "SPC" (software protocol converter), that flipped zmodem over an X.25 network to SNA to a mainframe. It ran on an OS2/Warp box. I wish I was making that up. I really do.

I agree with posts above. Diving straight into 'practice' in statistics (and other fields e.g. cryptography being the most notorious) leaves you open to a great many of pitfalls. Best case you will be inefficient with your approaches.
