I'm pretty familiar with most of these issues, except for the one about verbose generics. What do you find so verbose about them?

To my thinking they aren't much more verbose than C++ templates. They end up being a short little section above the place they are used. However I don't really feel like it's a verbose language in the first place (even if there are a few more characters around) so perhaps I'm just missing something entirely.
So no, it has no other purpose other than insulting.

The situation you describe would require building and maintaining what's basically an etsy competitor. That's a hugely more complex undertaking compared to "here's a buy button that links to a URL".

As much as I'd love IG's UX to become the baseline level of ecommerce quality, I can see why they went the route they did.
I agree. Get the other side of the coin as well if you don't have option to talk with some of the people "over beverages".
Will you consider remote ok outside of UK for any case?
It also great for obfuscation.

PS.

I am talking about problem of trust, which this binary format creates.
Here, in Linux, we are solving problem of trust using distributions, maintainers, signed packages, signed repositories, releases. It's why I will trust binary packages from my distribution but will not trust webasm binaries.

When searching for technical things I often set the search window to the last two years. It can help a lot.
It can't be exploited from remote, unless combined with a remote code execution vulnerability. An attack vector could be a "run as docker" application downloaded and run with the idea of sandboxing it. Any other attack scenarioes?
I'm making fun of their gall more than anything else. I'd probably have overlooked that too when I was young.
To be fair, with stuff like this:

you're being just as bad as his asinine assertion that Windows' cmd.exe is/was better than Terminal.app. It seems more like you're committing the same sin of using experiences from years gone past to colour what you think today's situation is.

In your opinion what hurts morale more? One big round of layoff, or multiple smaller rounds?

I've only seen the later happen, and personally I think I'd prefer the first one. If you know that after that large layoff round the rest of the company is safe, I'd venture that might be better for the morale of the remaining employees.

Somewhat related: I develop accounting software, and I want my users to be able to say, "Show me all the unpaid invoices for Paul Jones" or "Record a Mastercard payment to ABC Supplies for £32.20".

This is one of the rare instances, where a monetization strategy actually improves the UX of a vanity product. Users have been asking for this (passively) for years. If you check out popular fashion posts, you can find a lot of comments along the lines of "where can i buy this?", "i need this.", etc. Instagram was always great at creating attention and desire for products, but the platform never allowed users to take action directly.

Trying to solve this problem myself back in 2013 with a somewhat popular iPhone app, the key will be to rollout this feature to smaller merchants, or maybe even to "fashion inspiration" accounts who provide a massive followership, as well as massive engagement on their posts - but I don't really see that happening.
Being fired generally means you did something wrong wrong. Laid off means the company is getting rid of people to reduce costs or due to removing the position, for example due to change of strategy.

One generally implies personal fault, the other implies side-effect of business.
It had serious problems back then. You are correct about D2.
You are laid off when the company is downsizing, has no need for your services or cannot pay your wages.

You get fired when you fail to perform adequately at your job.
Chef is pretty magical as well. I think it's easy to get carried away with syntax-sugary DSLs at the expense of of straightforwardness in Ruby if you aren't disciplined about simplicity.
34k ain't bad, but average salaries for Experienced Java devs with 5+ years of experience are in the range of 50-55k.

Also by paying less than blue card limit, the devs are basically tied to VisualMeta. Most of the devs don't know German system well and thus are being taken advantage of.
There are dictionaries of word senses, such as WordNet.

In order to identify word senses - first extract the words from text, collect many examples of their surrounding contexts and apply clustering on them. If there are more than one senses, they appear as clusters. Furthermore, words are being replaced with word embeddings (numerical representations of their meanings).

Technically none, but "fired" tends to refer specifically to when there was some specific employee conduct, e.g. failure to fulfill responsibilities, which forced the company to let the employee go. "Laid off" is a broader term that doesn't carry the same negative connotation and is more appropriate when, say, a company is strapped for cash and lets go of someone to free up money in the budget.
They prefer the terms "charging" and "discharging".
Quick note others may find useful. I found this offputting: the idiomatic mixture of upper/lower case and underscores in the syntax. Unnecessary cognitive overload. I've just done a quick test with current gnat and this works: you can just write everything in lower-case.
Actually it doesn't cover promises/tasks/rx or any other monadic stuff at all. The Clojure part also is probably not the most practical since it lacks core.async. However it's still a very good read and highly recommended. One reason is that it covers most of the concepts that make up a solid concurrent program (immutability, sharing data by communicating, ...).
Is this because of their recent scams ?

Interested candidates can upload your resume along with links to your apps and salary expectations here: https://cloudmagic.com/k/careers/description/AD_AndroidDevel...
Once a vulnerability is being actively exploited it makes sense to disclose it to the public even if a fix is unavailable. Doing so gives users the chance to protect themselves by changing their behavior until updates become available.
Macros that have names starting with "with-" and allocate some non-managed resource for the dynamic scope of their body are one obvious design pattern in Lisp.
Are they hiring on all cylinders?
It requires a certain kind of attitude that only a small minority of all people have to keep morale high in a situation where you can be fired any second without warning instead of going through the office looking like a kid who just shat his diapers.
I wonder what kind of lifespan they were expecting out of this thing back when it was launched.

I'd think you'd want a decent return in terms of longevity, considering the size and (I would assume) weight of it.

I'd bet modern satellites are much more disposable by comparison.

What you're describing sounds a lot like a statistically trained system.

"until we understand how that information is encoded in our own minds, getting a machine to truly understand it the same way will be elusive."

Here's a (fairly convincing imo) discussion as applied to language:

Further, I think human emotions are pretty transparent -- e.g. why might people lust after high calorie foods?

The timeline is probably far shorter than you are describing here.
> and in most promise libraries .then and .catch DID use try-catch under the hood

To catch thrown errors, not to implement the behaviour of transforming rejected promises.
web workers are almost entirely useless due to the fact they cant interact with anything except a message channel. Serializing and deserializing everything so web workers can operate on it introduces more overhead than the parallel speedup is worth in the vast majority of cases. Not to mention stuff like DOM updates, web-sockets, or anything else cant be done by them, and are stuck on the main thread.

They are really not comparable to threads.
From the top of my head, a few differences:

* Fuchsia is C (for the actual microkernel) and C++ (for userspace) / Redox is Rust.
* Fuchsia's main current target is smartphones & laptops / Redox' main current target is Rust.
* Fuchsia is very much funded / Redox is pretty grassroot.
* Fuchsia supports any language for app development but favors Dart / Redox supports any language for app developent but favors Rust.

Keep in mind that both projects are pretty young and that my points above involve some dose of mind-reading, so caveat lector.
I completely disagree with those statements.

Rust can give stronger static guarantees in simpler instances. When it comes to more complex cases, neither language can guarantee much. Ada however has better mechanisms for handling them safely. For example, you can specify a particular allocator for individual types rather than relying on each allocation to use the custom allocator.

If you're outside the realm of the Rust borrow checker and want to use an arena to keep the memory side of things simple and safe, it's much easier to do properly in Ada.

Ada is also significantly safer than C. Between the much stronger type system, memory safety facilities, bounds checking, non-nullable pointer types, generics, contracts etc. it's clearly a much safer option than C.
In the UK, "getting fired" or "getting the sack" means you were incompetent (or commited misconduct) and are sent home. For incompentance, they can only do this after a "performance review" (they have to give you 3 months to improve, I think).

"Laid off" is called being "made redundant". The company can do this much more easily to a bunch of people, but it generally has to pay them ~6 months salary and can't hire new people at the same time, for the same job(s).

Any employer being more aggressive than this will probably be taken to an employment tribunal.

In the States, I've heard you guys use the terms synonymously, but it always sounded a little weird. Your employment law is awful for employees though, by comparison.
Yes I agree -- threads without shared state or with thread-safe shared data structures is a perfectly good programming paradigm (and pretty well proven too).

One of my pet ideas is just to implement a Go-like CSP with plain pthreads. Channels could be pipes of pointers. Channel select is just select(). No weird M:N runtime needed. I don't want an operating system in my programming language.

This is just stolen from Programming in Lua chapter 30 -- threads and states (

Lua has coroutines within the interpreter, but to utilize all the cores he suggests layering threads and multiple Lua interpreters on top.

You might look into api.ai.
What exactly do you think was 'promised and expected'? Because from here it looks like deep learning has delivered an awful lot more than what anyone expected. No one expected it to beat Go. No one expected it to achieve human level results on problems like image recognition. And no one expected all this to happen in just a few years.

NNs have made measurable and enormous progress in many different AI domains in a very short space of time. There are awesome new applications and improvements coming our every day.

It's easy to say, from the vantage point of hindsight bias, that everything that's happened was predictable. So what exactly do you expect from NNs and AI in the near future? Make some testable predictions.
However from the learning side it doesn't really matter if you have to learn and apply synchronization in a 1:1 threaded or M:N threaded model. It's about the same.

The more important difference is what kind of synchronization primitives are provided to you by the platform. Go's (synchronous) channels in combination with select provide a quite powerful tool compared to using only pthreads. Even the old WinApi with WaitForMultipleObjects and that stuff will result in other ways or solving typical concurrency problems.

Detroit techno was extremely popular in Europe, still is. We wouldn't have Berlin in its current cultural state without the Detroit stars.

Theres some recent work in style transfer for sentences. The way someone says something can vary a huge amount between individuals, even if the meaning of a sentence is the same. The hard part is separating meaning from style, which requires a dataset of different sentences with the same meaning. Translation datasets are one possible solution. Different translators might have unique styles and word choices that an NN could learn to separate.

Importance of Python in Data science
I get that this is a pilot program of sorts, but it seems rather... limited.

Why not extend this to every account? Whenever an Instagram user posts a picture which hosts a product, they can decide in that post to create a link to that product. Followers can then buy the product through Instagram, knowing that they are getting a genuine product (unlike, say, if they were going to buy through Amazon). Manufacturers are incentivized to list products through Instagram to drive sales. Users are incentivized to link to the products in their posts because it makes them eligible for some small percent of sales driven through that post. Instagram takes a cut for making the sale happen on their platform. Everyone wins.

That's probably a good idea. However it will most likely not work out with pipes as I don't know how you could implement the synchronous (unbuffered) channels with them.

IMHO unbuffered channels are one of the most powerful constructs in Go, since they guarantee that "resources" are always on one-side of the channel and are taken care of, and never stored in a channel (or promise, ...) where they could get abondoned/lost. It also allows to make some other assumptions like "the in-memory server has taken my request through a channel and is now working on it and will answer through a chnanel soon" or "the server has shut down so I can't write to the channel", but never "the write to the channel succeeded but nobody cares about it".

I was thinking of ranked ballots, where you write a number based on the rank you give a candidate. If you just want to fill in bubbles that's much more reliable. But creates more complex ballots.

My ideal system would have a voting machine that handles the complexity and fills in the bubbles for you. Then prints it out and let's you inspect it, and turn it in like a normal ballot.

> Before, YT was completely unusable in Germany

This is gross exaggeration. I use Youtube extensively and I encountered a blocked video maybe 3% of the time, and only when looking at music videos. Even when that happened I simply enabled the (installed but usually remaining disabled) Proxmate Chrome extension to use a proxy and get the (music) video anyway. The change is welcome but won't have much of an effect on me. People using Youtube extensively for music - and "current" music - are probably most affected. I'd say the majority of music still was accessible. Often you would have another video upload of the same song accessible when one was blocked.

Which reminds me of a different issue, is it possible that Youtube, and possibly other video portals too, deliberately ever so slightly messes up the sound of music videos? Maybe to ensure there still is an incentive to buy? I can't really tell for sure, but a lot of music to me sounds a little worse than I would have expected.
This is actually excellent advice, and I'm not sure why it's being downvoted. It works well with public speaking and oral language proficiency tests as well.

Don't have two shots. There's a local maximum where you're disinihibited but still not impaired. Find that.
Last time this came up, it was found that you can get per thread overhead down to 10KB with musl and Linux, and even smaller with upcoming Linux kernel work. That allows for quite a few more than 100,000 threads for typical server RAM configurations.
