Also, GNU tail provides tail -F, which does what you want tail -f to do. There is a reason for this. I don't remember what it is, but I think the manpage talks about it.
A village isn't a matter simply of distance, but of scale.

A small town with a few thousand people who might interact or incidentally observe one another on any given day is worlds apart from an entire planet of billions of people any one of whom might, without the target being aware of it, stalk any one, or billions, of other people.

Or worse: sift through zottabytes of data at some unspecified future date, to generate some convenient narrative.

Or worse yet: completely fabricate, do a level of perfection beyond any detection, evidence to fit any desired narrative.
Perhaps I should've gone in more detail. I'm not upset about them wanting people who are proficient in git, I'm saddened that the job listing doesn't mention anything about what a Senior Android Developer does at Weebly.

The only Android related things on the job listing are proficiency with the IDE (Android Studio) and generic "frameworks".

I am an Android engineer, I clicked this job listing earlier today when it was on HN because I was interested in it. From the perspective of a listing that tries to get a good funnel of candidates coming in, it does nothing for me.

Would you apply to that job listing? I spend a lot of my day to day helping companies optimize their job listings, especially when they have high view numbers but low application click through rates, so this is a pet peeve.

That is why laws constrain the technically attainable.

We don't pass laws against things which cannot be done (at least not as a normal course of action).
I agree with your logic but perhaps they consider the magnitude of the actual Brexit referendum vote to refute the prediction 'stay' likelihood of 85%. I don't know how close the election was (IIRC it was fairly close), I'm just stating that many people might consider a landslide in the other direction to mean that the prediction was flawed.

OTOH maybe people misinterpreted the 'stay' likelihood itself as the ratio of the predicted popular stay vote and that would explain it too.

> Not to mention the basic fact that, screw you guys, it's YOUR job to do the checkout, not customers'.

I don't understand this statement. How is this a basic fact? It seems like you've drawn an arbitrary line for things that they're responsible based on how it used to be and are randomly claiming that it must be universal. Why isn't it a "basic fact" that your gas station is responsible for an attendant pumping your gas, or your motel is responsible for a concierge to make reservations for you? Just because these existed in the past doesn't make it a "basic fact" that it's their fundamental responsibility.
We have to hardwire architectures because we can't learn architectures yet, or to put it another way, backpropagation doesn't yet work on hyperparameters as well as on parameters. Hyperparameters should be learnable as in theory there's nothing special about them (it's models all the way down!) - a hyperparameter is merely a parameter we don't yet know how to learn - and this has been demonstrated: http://jmlr.org/proceedings/papers/v37/maclaurin15.pdf "Gradient-based Hyperparameter Optimization through Reversible Learning"

"Tuning hyperparameters of learning algorithms is hard because gradients are usually unavailable. We compute exact gradients of cross-validation performance with respect to all hyperparameters by chaining derivatives backwards through the entire training procedure. These gradients allow us to optimize thousands of hyperparameters, including step-size and momentum schedules, weight initialization distributions, richly parameterized regularization schemes, and neural network architectures. We compute hyperparameter gradients by exactly reversing the dynamics of stochastic gradient descent with momentum."

But it's not feasible yet. Once it is, you can imagine collapsing the whole neural net zoo: you merely specify the input/output type/dimension and then it starts gradient-ascent over all the possible models as tweaked by internal hyperparameters.
Since for any serious bug that's published, there's very likely a dozen private or not-yet-found, and also considering on how many networked devices the linux kernel is used, I would really like to see a better upgrade story for Android devices and any other linux-inside gear which doesn't have a distro package manager to apply the fix. As little as I like obstructing tech companies with more laws, especially since most laws don't understand the tech, I feel like laws are the only pressure we can hope for. This is why the abuse of IoT devices is a good thing. It will highlight how dangerous it is to slap a random linux version in some device and never bother with updates. A fleet of smart tvs needs to be hijacked with a stalker trojan that is then used by people to record and later post online private moments of unsuspecting owners of always standby smart tv, amazon echo networked microphones, etc. It's just how the world works before it realize the risks and does something about it.

As an engineer you can argue and plead with management to not release something that you don't intend to provide timely updates with a well-communicated support time. Like a 2 year warranty that's prominently communicated, this would highlight to consumers that it's unsafe to use the device unless disconnected from the network. Just like a car that doesn't pass your local safety regulations is not allowed into public traffic.

Actually, I'm surprised modern cars do not require periodic zero-expenses-for-the-owner software updates at licensed dealerships. You can explain to a driver that tires go bad because they drove X miles and have to be paid for, but you cannot argue that software updates need to be paid for because from the time they bought it Y days have passed. Take the Samsung battery optimization that went wrong, where the separation layer was a tiny bit too shallow. It's fair to assume some regulation will follow for safety purposes. Similarly, networked devices, which are not (and cannot be?) microcontrollers with mere 500 lines of code, have to be regulated in terms of software updates.

Now you may say the industry will go broke if they're required to provide upgrades, or less devices will be made, but I think this will lead to consolidation of the software stack, which is mostly a good thing, as those who want to produce dozens of cheap IoT devices can do so without hiring kernel developers. It's like other industries where cheap toy makers source materials like plastic from vendors, knowing it's safe, or create the materials following a detailed recipe which is certified.

This was the same deal with how CPUs were (mis)marketed for years. Higher clockspeeds don't mean anything unless the pipelines are identical. A much smarter chip with larger cache sizes, branch prediction, SIMT, ultra-wide registers, better instruction caching, etc might have half the clockspeed of a dumber chip and outperform it by a huge margin. GPUs are no different in that texture caches, vertex buffer sizes, warp sizes, etc all play a big part and you really can't compare flops unless comparing two GPUs of the same product line.
Gut instinct wants to say that it's a bit of an uncanny valley experience as well. Our brains are wired to recognize patterns, and seeing something very organic, but also very mechanical just sets off those deep instinctual alarms that something's not quite right.
Google fills my droid with bloatware. Even worse: all of Google apps will not work without Google Play Services which is a super abusive app: among other things, it logs ALL MY ACTIVITY 24-7. So, if Google already runs apps with such privileges, why not adding a small app that mimics Whatsapp SMS verification. After verifying that a given SIM is installed on the phone where my Google account has been authenticated, it can establish a secure tunnel to send me 2FA codes. If a hacker would clone my SIM and even have my Google password they can prevent login until I grant permission from the first install/verification. Should I lose/change my phone, Google would not allow a second verification unless a pin is entered (which I created on the first SIM verification). Another aproach that avoids the pin number would be a delay before authenticating the second install. If I get 24hrs and a notifcation that I have logged-in on a second device, I certainly have enough time to fix any possible hack.
This is my guess. Since it uses cartridges and a single screen, there's nothing stopping them from selling a version which is a single smaller unit with better battery life but without TV/local multiplayer capabilities.

I like the self checkout, I generally feel like I had a net time savings against waiting in line. I appreciate how truly sensitive they are and I take some mild precautions to avoid getting stuck in one of the machine's pitfalls. I know some folks might scoff and call these limitations a regression but I think it's a net win for me.

Stuff to look out for:

1. shopping w/the kids (they love to "help" but don't know the precautions)

2. certain items requiring special attention (items with theft deterrents, age-controlled items, etc).

3. quickly getting item delivered from scanner to scale. Too many items will leave you limited in how you can make room on the scale.

Some stores have some customizations which show them as having different priorities. At Walmart the transaction is well-optimized for speed (CC bypasses signature for cheap transactions, CC swipe bypasses primary console prompting/confirmation, also one or two "non-bagged items" grace). Others seem to focus more on risk/theft controls.

That's quite a jump you made there: a port of a game that came out in 2011. I don't really think getting Skyrim is a big deal. If you were around for the Wii U launch, they got a ton of third party ports. Comically a game like Mass Effect 3 when I'm pretty sure the first two games didn't appear on any Nintendo platform.

I'd also be wary about battery life. The 3DS and its sleep mode aren't known for being very good on that front.

I've never had a pump in NJ or elsewhere not work. Self-checkout machines on the other hand, don't work often. That's the difference.
Coolness! Yes, the airport near me is a combined civilian and military field, and there are frequent visiting military aircraft from all over the world. People think I am crazy for saying I can tell the different between an F/A-18 and a Sukhoi SU-27 (Yep, we've had those here too), but I can.

There are also a few warbird enthusiasts based here, and I especially love the sound of a thumping old radial engine. That one is guaranteed to get me out of a coma and running outside in my underwear! :D
But what's the net? Macs are also more expensive so is it a wash? Also, Macs (to me) appear to be on a much shorter support/life cycle so you'd have to factor that into the equation for a fair comparison.
Shaws, a grocery store near where I live in Somerville, MA used to have self checkouts, but got rid of them. They also ended their customer loyalty card system. The paticular store where I shop has limited space, so the checkers allow more customer throughput. The old self-checkouts failed pretty often for me so I'm happy they're gone.
Reminds me of http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1004
My point is that giving a discount for self-checkout will tend to lead to an experience that is worse for the shopper and doesn't even necessarily result in reduced costs for the store because they'll now need more self-checkout helpers.
That sounds like an awesome idea - and a good way of promoting yourselves!

This might actually explain KGB/FSB's apparent preference for Trump: the enemy of one's enemy...
Oh gotcha. I misunderstood his implication.

> The price you are paying has the cost of a human cashier built into it. If you use self-checkout, you're providing that service yourself for free

While true, this is kind of a bizarre way to look at it; you should only be using the service if you prefer it to human checkout, in which case the fact that their costs are lower is irrelevant. It basically just means that both you and the company are both benefiting.

One may as well say "I always make sure to use the bathroom when I go to the grocery store. If I don't, the company still collects the premium they charge for providing a bathroom". And yet if you'd rather not go to the bathroom, the premium they charge has nothing to do with your decision making process.

"The Justice Department released its 12-page document ahead of that hearing, detailing new allegations... suggesting he had become heavily armed, accumulating 10 weapons"

10 weapons! It's always funny seeing what coastal types consider "heavily armed", as opposed to "a starter collection".

In my experience, the more guns one owns, the likelier they are to be a hobbyist or collector. It's not like you wield one in each limb and six in your teeth; more != more dangerous.

> We do send an email when you log in from a new device.

Which is a non-optional pain in the butt if you don't store cookies. Every login is a new device. Twitter does the same, I got so tired of cleaning up my inbox that I rarely log in anymore without a good reason. (I already didn't log into Google without good reason so that didn't change.)
The use would be in the event someone breaks into your house. Practically speaking, it's easier to wear throughout the day than to be continually donning and doffing as you move about.

How does Switch gets its content, by download, or old-fashion cartridge (I'm totally cool with that). And lastly, the battery lasts how long??
I think a different model could align incentive while still providing the same service. Maybe "We get X% in payment processing that's not charged back" or similar.
But the benefits are to them and the costs are to us =P

This seems to be the overlooked point here. In business, it can be profitable to disrupt and go after sweeping changes. In government, you can hurt real people in large numbers by doing so.

Also, the article isn't implying that companies can't or won't do good. Companies can certainly work well across income ranges. The point is, that's still a different goal than working well across all income ranges.

As a photographer, I want to correct you. Camera sensors are good, actually amazing for their sizes. What sucks is the lens + the sensor size combination. On most phones you get a fixed wideangle lens, some phones have two lenses, some have sucky zooms (Galaxy S4 Zoom). None of them come even close to a cheap DSLR/mirrorless with large sensors. All 100% of the phone cameras suck in low light. Yes, even the latest iPhone and Google Pixel.

Phone cameras are orders of magnitude worse than the cutting edge cameras when it comes to light sensitivity. It's just physics, there are only that many photons falling into the lens.
