IANAL, but you should contact one. That's the simple answer.

The problem with asking this question here is two-fold. First, you are potentially admitting that you think you may be violating that patent. Just because a site is not working, does not mean they are not a patent troll.

More importantly, you will get a mix of answers, if any. Patent law is complicated and, in most cases, not a simple yes you are violating or no you are not violating answer. The responses you get by asking that question in a public forum will fall along that line. Some people may think you are and others will not. In the end, you still don't have the answer to your question and are most likely more confused than when you started :)

Finally, just looking at your site, not sure if you are aware but I know of several patents that are being utilized for similar technology. Check out a site: http://zugara.com/virtual-dressing-room-technology and on their site they list the patents they are using.
Wait. What's going here?

I've been reading some of the HN comments in response to this story and it seems you guys are saying that ANY codebase built on WP must be visibly released to the public.

So does that mean, millions of WP sites with custom mods must relase release their code in some capacity? If so, where? And how am I supposed to declare where the sourcecode can be found--a dedicated page on my site, a comment in my HTML?

I'm really struggling to understand how the guys at Wix are the villains in this story. It seems every year Mullenweg issues a Fatwa in response to some imagined violation of WP's GPL licence. He's really becoming quite belligerent over this crusade of his.

Seriously, do we all need to release our source code if we build stuff on WP? If not, why the hell is Wix getting so much shit?
The thing with a degree - at least in the US - is that it often doesn't matter so much what your degree is in, but that you have one. It opens some doors - even if they aren't well paid doors. It really doesn't matter so much so long as you don't hate your life - in the end, it is just a job. All the knowlege, literature, philosophy and art keeps the rest of life better.

Besides. Your view is one of maturity. I would be more prudent now -in my late 30's - but when I was 16, 18, and 22? I just wanted to go to learn stuff. Neat stuff. I wanted art school because I wanted to learn to do neat stuff. I've never really cared about a career, but that's worked out to be a bonus for me.

Just a different balance in life priorities.
I'll make an argument that going to school for art will closely relate to many careers.

Art school trains students to 1) put new things into the world and take intellectual responsibility for them, 2) learn an arbitrary and mostly-historical set of techniques that nonetheless take dedication to master, and 3) engage deeply with what other disciplines shrug off as "human factors."

In my eventual career developing software, those things have come in handy. Perhaps more importantly, an art education has made me see software development as more than just problem solving or engineering. I may never be Michaelangelo or Kara Walker, but I still like trying to master one tiny corner of the universe and make things that other people will want in their lives.

I'm also not advocating spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a BFA, but I won't advocate against it either. To me it makes about as much sense as buying a $250k car or stereo.
Answering my own question: this late-2016 MacBook Pro does support four external monitors using its four USB-C ports.
You Should Be Able to Get Rich in Charity
Get out would be rude. If you interview a lot of people who say they are programmers, you get people who can't do anything sometimes. It is frustrating perhaps but that's no reasonable way to treat people.

Back to the question. In C or C++ the pointer is pointing to a memory location. If you don't set it to something (ie no malloc, or assignment, then it is uninitialized and you can't use what it points to. It is essentially a random number. Looking at a random memory location "(* p)" could likely crash your program, but it won't be anything useful that you should use. So when you say "* p" = 'c'; you say overwrite the memory location (which is randomly chosen) with the ascii code for the character 'c'.

Side note - the surprising markup language here doesn't let you use asterisk p directly, you have to put a space in I just discovered.
working on converting these markup dumps to HTML.

if anybody has any insight, please let me know.
The industrial revolution requires coordination on a vast scale, and a lack of bureaucracy that can arbitrarily block it. Hence its emergence in free market countries.
My intuition is that these patterns "hijack" the ReLU activations in the lower levels, causing either important features to not fire or features that shouldn't fire to do so. Usually the lower layers learn very primitive shapes like lines and curves, and I think (although I'd need to double check) that they usually pass through entire color channels rather than nuanced mixings of colors. (So one features would either pass through all of red or all of blue or all of both, rather than pass just 66% red, 47% blue, and 33% green -- if it did the latter it wouldn't be able to generalize well) This propagates the error through the network, where the later activations start firing in the wrong places, causing the mis-classification.

(This is totally unsubstantiated though)
As I responded to another commenter, the purpose of "char * p" might simply be to indicate the type of p, not necessarily to indicate that it is uninitialized. If you wanted to indicate the type of p, what would you write instead?

Regarding pointers, though, you have a point that char * is commonly used for statically allocated strings. I concede that it's fair to criticize the interviewee for saying the memory was dynamically allocated (by the compiler??), though I don't know if that rises to the level of "Get out."
Bit of an aside, but it's striking how thick the smog is in all these pictures, you can see how everything fades off within meters:

Indeed, yes. The owners are in the best position to avoid paying more tax.
I don't think the article is going to make things any worse. But we can agree it's pointless and isn't going to make anything better.
All that you said is right--we have allowed a monster to grow. And killing that monster is going to require sacrifice now. It never comes any other way.
Not to do the questions is impolite, but personally I'll politely decline for the position afterwards. A company where I would like to work should have interviews that are creative and fun, preferably challenging rather than boring.
You're quite right -- I was thinking about US only, not worldwide. Will edit to correct.

And I remembered, when I was a freshman, in my Chinese writing class, my teacher insulted me in front of the class like this, "good novel, but never copy and paste", why? because he thought this kind of writing style can't be accomplished by a freshman. I just simply answered, "Thanks. But I never plagiarize" The teacher shocked for few seconds, then he apologize and said "I will recommend to the publication". And my classmates all can't wait to see my novel since the curiosity of human being. If I just accused them without fighting back, things will went to another direction undoubtedly.

Why would such an education have a negative impact on your career? It teaches communication, makes sure you know how to get your ideas out into a consumable format, and teaches critical thinking. All of these skills will be valuable in just about any career.

And that is exactly why I think higher education is a good idea. Admittedly, paying for it is tougher now than when I was in school... but the leap from "It is too expensive" to "It is not a worthwhile education" is not quite correct.

When I was in school, the general attitude was that any bachelor's degree will help any career. A Masters degree will only help a career in that specific field, and a PhD will only help you in academia. I think this is still accurate, but the cost of tuition has masked the underlying value of the education.
There is something very wrong in the fact that sex is the only form of pleasure that you obtain from others.
What is so crazy about this is, if you can't risk just using any cable that fits in a socket, becuase you could damage your hardware, end users would be better off with a completely unique shape for every cable.

This is a giant leap backwards.
it pretty definitively refutes the hypothesis that raising the minimum wage to $15 would dramatically increase unemployment

How so, if Seattle doesn't have a $15/h minimum wage? It'll only take effect in 2017, and even then, only for large employers that don't pay medical benefits. Under this law, the $15 wage will only be universal in 2021: http://murray.seattle.gov/minimumwage/

Agreed - something fundamental really needs to change. I'm most worried that it'll come as a result of this election to some degree. I don't think people are supporting Trump because they like him, but I think that they've almost got no choice but someone that might (even if totally by accident) blow up the system. I think this will be totally nuts, but then again - if he loses I fear things may get violent.
Yeah, one more thing. C and C++ type languages where you have to manage memory allocation are a different kind of intellectual challenge than languages like java or python. It takes a certain amount of try and failure and intellectual carefulness to get the ability to write trustworthy code. Just keep going at it. And be careful not to call yourself an expert c programmer, even after you get basic fluency. That's usually a sign that someone is not a great programmer in my experience :-)
Correlation is not always causation but it can be and it is usually very strong evidence against the presence of opposite forces of causation. If higher minimum wages actually cause unemployment (as minimum wage opponents often argue) then how do you explain Seattle.
I'm curious, as I want to make some poster-sized art prints soon:

1) What resolution were the source files?

2) What upscaling options did you use?

3) What multiple of the original file size did you go up to? Were you limited by the quality of the upscaling, or did you just decide on the size of print and dpi, and multiply?
yes - either we need to find a new "source of value" or some form of tear down needs to take place. I think historically tear downs have been at a core of human growth and progress, so I think that will happen before people are forced to change their minds.
We need a complete top-to-bottom restructuring of our Federal Government--end welfare, end the giant socialist military system hiding within our economy. We need to audit the Fed and then probably close it down or somehow come up with sound money. We need to prosecute every banker and every entity involved in the 2008 financial crisis.

That would solve 90% of what ails us. Getting the EPA off people's backs and back to some level of sanity would help a ton, too.
Slaves are not really that cheap.
You have to feed slaves, train slaves, guard slaves (from running away and from being stolen by somebody else).
Race is not just a proxy for education. Racism affects Asian-Americans, despite their good educational track record as a broad group; African immigrants, despite the fact that Nigerian immigrants and Nigerian-Americans make up the immigrant group with the largest number of PhDs per capita in the US immigrant landscape; and British immigrants, who everyone thinks are smart because of the accent (despite no better educational attainment than anyone else).

The real injustice is that my black students cannot earn or learn their way out of being black in America. A Caltech education doesn't help when you're pulled over by the cops. This blogger's ability to use "Hence" in a literature review won't help either.

Since they're far from the only manufacturers of USB-C cables and don't own any controlling IP (like they do for Lightning for example) I doubt they will. As long as I can get compatible cables from legitimate manufacturers I don't much care what Apple charges for their versions.

I really don't get the attitude that its insulting to ask for someone to show you some programming. You wouldn't hire a musician without seeing them play. I have interviewed plenty of expert non-beginning programmers who couldn't do shit. You can't find that out without asking them to code something. There are tons of people from large companies in my town who cannot do anything. I also worked at some of the large companies and ran into them.

How would you identify these people if you don't ask for programming problems.
One of the reasons I love geoscience, particularly geology, is the logic-based approach to much of problem solving. A lot of the science is done by combining qualitative descriptions with logical determinations of relationships between rock units and/or events that leave some mark in the rock record. Quantitative work is often done to understand dates and rates. Very little of the work relies on correlations and significance testing, so p-hacking is quite rare.
It's more about distribution. So if you make some changes and keep it on your server you don't have to show the code to everyone, but if you release a plugin for third parties to download, then everyone who gets the download should be able to read, modify and distribute the plugin code under the same license. In this case the app is distributed to phones.
I am totally comfortable with funcall. It is my preference, not something I bargain down to. I don't have a need to have (f x y) "just work". You needn't agree. I acknowledge differing tastes here. But you need to, as well. It is not proper to speak as if we obviously have the same goals. We do not. It is not that we have the same goal and are differing on tactics. We have actually different goals. That is important to see or else you cannot wrap your head around why the issue played out as it did.

As you say, notational games can be played. And there are other approaches. Just because people have different goals doesn't mean that's the end of discussion. But an honest discussion must recognize the legitimate desires of both sides without disparaging one side. Getting inside another's head is important.

I don't pass functional arguments a lot. CL programmers often don't. Where Scheme would pass functions, CL often uses keyword arguments. In sort, for example, we customize behavior not by passing some function but by passing a list of keywords. There are places we pass functions, but it is not our ordinary business. So calling it out, by doing (funcall list...) rather than just (list...) gives a signal that something unusual is happening. If you plan for this not to be unusual, you will go a different way. But we do not all aspire to pass functions at every point. I like having it for certain purposes, but doing things in other ways as well.

For another take on a middle ground than the character syntax you describe, see my http://www.nhplace.com/kent/Half-Baked/spiel/index.html
There's plenty of historical evidence that industrialization and slave labor do not mix (for example, the US North industrialized and the South did not).

It's not so easy to draw firm conclusions from Roman society, because the historical record of that is a little thin. The Nazis employed slave labor, but they had a lot of trouble with sabotage and intentionally shoddy work. Game of Thrones is entirely fiction, and is zero evidence as an "example" of slavery.
"You should push for self-expression"

I respectfully disagree - and honestly get tired of folks expecting that. There are a lot of times I just thought it was neat looking or what I thought would be nifty there. And I'm sitting here doing surrealist and somewhat abstract stuff.

Besides, self-expression is never quite enough. If you watch people going through an art museum, you find little changes in the way they look at pictures. Folks will linger at different points - whatever brings up feelings in them, hits their beauty point, and so on. And it is really neat when you see that with your own art.

Being able to do that in other people is one of those things that differentiates good art from other art. It is kind of like being a good cook or chef.

Edit: Grammar.
I've asked myself that a few times. If you're happy just using a pencil and don't really care about the details, I totally get that; I've got lots of other pencils that work just fine.

Here are the things I like about this one: 1) It has a grip that's not super rubbery and thus doesn't attract lint. It's very firm. Yet it still provides enough friction to act as a grip. 2) It has a retractable tip with a very satisfying deep "clack" or "clock" sound when you extend the pipe. You carry this in your pocket with no worries about lint on the grip or jabbing yourself. 3) The metal parts are not chromed, but have a matte finish. The matte look really makes it look professional, not as cheap. 4) The eraser cap seems to have a clever anti-choking mechanism in case a child swallows it. 5) The muted colors (I have the desaturated blue one) are really pleasant to the eye. There's a very slight sparkle to the finish. 6) There is no give--the tolerances are right on. No parts jiggling around when you operate the clutch mechanism, etc. 7) I'm a designer, and feel that the ratios and overall organic vs. inorganic breakdown of the physical design are right on. It's easy to sit down and draw a pencil tip that is really ugly; developing just the right ratio and curvature that make it look graceful is not nearly as easy. 8) The balance in the hand is great.

You can find these _individual_ elements in other pencils, but they're all there together in this model, so it's a really nice experience.
This article and video are from 2014: shouldn't the post title reflect that?
Cool, that's a nice strategy. And in that case you don't even need to make the problem simple at all!

What I also always try to do is give context: "You're now writing a seemingly ad-hoc double for-loop in which you assign some function to each pixel. What you should look up is a Hilbert space." I don't know how to test for that though. :-D

Content creators get effectively zero income / revenues from any of the services you listed. Patreon is attempting to do some cool things there and I think are getting some great results, as are crowdfunding approaches. However, people I know who have gotten syndication of content on any given video platform don't really get much in the way of return unless it's a huge hit - so it's hard to get quality content which is why a lot of those guys are producing exclusive content, or funding it. In terms of music, yeah - artists are making nothing, and the services are making nothing too, but that's a whole different story.

There has been a failure, in my opinion, of successful monetization of valuable content on the net. I don't disagree with you that there are a plethora of monetization schemes that are very effective on the web. However, given the cost of content creation usually content is a loss leader for a separate business model / or business entirely. I think it just leads to crappy content, since now pretty much every article has some kind of agenda and there's little journalism actually taking place. I actually really like Vice for this reason - I think they've found a niche where people are willing to pay for quality content. Same for the Information, which produces terrific journalism and great long form stuff.
I have a nagging suspicion that Apple will eventually lock the hardware and OS down to the point where their computers will only run software delivered through the app store.
They will be built into infrastructure (including up to your property line), building structure, & appliances. I suppose one can go to a wood cabin in the woods, off grid (unless that sort of lifestyle flags you as "radical").

Apple (used to be) very good about getting developers to adhere to the standards. Failing that, I'm hoping for an intermediate layer where developers expose the actions but users can customize the presentation.
