The author of ViEmu: vi/vim emulation for Visual Studio, Word, Outlook and SQL Server made a set of PDF cheat-sheets like the old WordPerfect stickers. They got me up-to-speed in record time--even on the power features.

Here is the page he keeps them on: http://www.viemu.com/a_vi_vim_graphical_cheat_sheet_tutorial...
Have you read Ted Rall's 2006 book Silk Road To Ruin? I'm interested enough in the opinion of a Central Asia local that I would mail you a copy.
This site has an off feel. If it didn't have the sidebar filled with ads and a "freeware rehoster" look it would fair a lot better. The name is debatable but "crew" has a piracy/hacker connotation for me.

I think lot's of personal or non-central sites fly under the radar but this is the first time I've seen this insinuated that I can remember so I could be wrong.
I'm trying to think of a cross-platform framework that didn't eventually do away with native widgets, at least optionally. Java went from AWT to Swing, wxWidgets has wxUniversal, even the <button> tag got custom skinning.

Is this becoming a pattern? "Cross Platform Requires Owner Drawn Widgets."
No, you really should use this build: http://people.videolan.org/~jb/Builds/360/

There are a few additional patches that are not yet present on the nightly builds. (For example making it work with the mouse on macOS, which you won't get on the NB). All the patches should get in, during the next couple of days.
How presumptuous of you to speak in the name of the rest of the world. I'm very happy with my subscription from Romania. It's actually more comfortable than pirating!
Well, sure. In theory, he could do anything by fiat within the bounds of established regulatory discretion. Of course, I wouldn't worry too much about all of the stuff that "Trump could do" until he gets around to doing it. He talks a lot. And, I suspect he won't have time to do all of the stuff that people worry about him potentially doing...

As frustratingly slow as congressional action is -- it's more resistant to being hand-waved away.

The lesson that a lot of anti-Trumpers appear to have taken away from this election is that the electoral college is bad because it lets people who don't live on the coasts have a say too. I would prefer that the lesson were: "Gosh! The President has too much power!"
"One piece of advice I have for you is to not take on the role of mental health professional in your relationship"

So much this. My first husband was schizo-affective. I often felt I was in the role of caregiver and part-time mental health professional, all while trying to work to supoprt us both. And this was while he had medications to help him and very regular psychiatrist appointments.

Looking back, I should have insisted that I was ill-prepared to do all the stuff. I should have insisted on some therapy for myself as well, and asked for more help from the mental health services, possibly wellness checks and other such things. It is so much easier to say this stuff now in my late 30's than it was in my early to mid 20's, however.
What is your goal, investment or bootstrapping?

If you're trying to make a POC as fast as possible to get investment, use whichever language you are fastest in, even if it's not perfect. Be OK with the idea of throwing it away when you write a better V2 after investment.

If you're planning to bootstrap and need to rely on stability with a very small team for a long time, choose whichever lang you know best how to make repeatable success, even if it takes longer.

There's also no reason everything has to be written in the same lang. I'm NOT saying go full tiny microservices, but use what is efficient where it makes sense.

E.g. I run a TLS terminator in C (bud), it's one binary and one config file. My service discovery is Golang (consul), again one binary one config. Think Unix philosophy, one tool for one job. And if you're using an automatic services router like Fabio, Envoy, or Traefik, it's super easy to connect these services regardless of lang. (There really is no equivalent for these in Node, especially not up to my production standards.)

This pattern has served me well across three startups (inc. medium SaaS) and countless projects. I'm primarily Node but I would definitely recommend using .NET where you see it providing a clear solution for one of your concerns.
This would have been so awesome to have in college. I stumbled upon RegExr the other day (http://regexr.com) which I absolutely love. It kind of shares this spirit of showing people how to do things that appear complex at first glance, but have a sort of addicting nuance to them. Thanks for sharing.
Gave you an upvote to help you out of the grey. You didn't state it so eloquently but it's an important point: e40 is making the ridiculous assumption that those who hold a different opinion from him do so for uneducated and unconcievable reasons. He's exactly the sort of person who needs to make this phone call. I hope that comment doesn't stay on top for too long.
Very nice, but the mental model I prefer is to think of a Matrix-Vector multiplication as the weighted sum of Matrix columns, and a Matrix-Matrix multiplication as just several Matrix-Vector multiplications (results being the columns of a new matrix).

No, the subtitles download has been fixed in all nightly builds since a long time.

Just download a new lua script or wait next week for the update (2.2.5) that will update the script and a few minor issues.
Neural nets have absolutely been associated with probalistic interpretations. Good resources would be David McCay and Radford Neal. Both their approaches are Bayesian. A far more trivial way to associate a probabistic interpretation is to claim that the neural net is the conditional expectation.

And who says frequentist and Bayesian are the only two views. Where would you shelve prequential statistics then ? Or nonparametric regression

Prediction has definitely been a part of statistics but often, as you rightly claim, as a byproduct. And yes i would characterize the focus of stats and ml exactly as you did
As I know it, you have 2-3 persons that count together one urn. That's not one person doing it. And you can do recounts. And adding large numbers of ballot papers is not easy because its marked how many there are in a ballot.
(What is more effective is declaring a number of ballots invalid if they are not the right candidate but still, we are speaking about in extrem cases 100 votes, not possibly millions as would be possible in hacking an electronic voting machine)
I definitely wrote things making fun of Jet.com, but now I order household goods from there rather than Amazon. I even see a strong appeal of physically going to Target now verse trying to buy sheets from Amazon. On Amazon, for every item you add to your cart you have to consider:

- What is the likelihood this description matches the product being sold?

- Are the reviews real?

- Is this item safe?

- Is the price double what it is from other retailers?

Perhaps Amazon is having a similar moment Google did when Demand Media just obliterated the quality of their search results. It really is going to take a multi-pronged approach to clean things up. Depending on where their cashflow is coming from, this could be a very punishing task.
And as always, England Prevails!
More likely it's because the comment has nothing to do with editing users' content — unless it's meant to suggest that someone else faked Eric Schmidt's email (from the time 5+ years ago when he was CEO of Google) to incriminate him.
I recently bought Olive oil and a Nintendo wii game via Target with prices cheaper than Amazon. The web experience with Target has vastly improved. I am not sure what's Walmart experience is like.
For modern Macs, this seems like expected behaviour. My 2012 MacBook Pro and my late 2014 5k iMac regularly glitch out like this.
Yep and if you think 50-200,000 civil servants/others are going to be any better behaved you'd have to be very optimistic!.

That's before some idiot walks out the door with the entire database for an ISP and leaves it on a train.

They didn't report it as fact. They reported it as, "This respected guy is saying this thing."
Up voted because I cannot see how anyone could disagree with this. Obama didn't do _anything_ to stem the flow of citizens' data being funneled into the government machinery.
Where do you think the best of the best are going instead?
Sure, but that is a problem of "winner takes all" and not any voting method.
There's a d., the seller has to agree to co-mingle their inventory. Which a lot don't, since that means they can get dinged by another 3rd party's bad inventory....
Any Linux support (build) yet ? It seems to indicate that it works on MacOS and Windows only.
Would you mind elaborating or providing a link for the uninitiated? I use matrix multiplication in almost everything I do and that sounds like a neat way to visualize what is happening.

Even though they aren't claiming these claims are true, its at the very least, incredibly misleading. They spend most of the article talking about how Putin has poisoned people in the past, and talking up the Drs credentials. There should be a disclosure that the claims are unsubstantiated. Or it should never have been posted.

That said the Washington post did some of the best reporting this election season.
European Commission Suffers DDoS Attack, Servers Go Offline for Several Hours
Trying not to buy as much. Shopping around before ordering. Waiting until I've got enough in my cart for free shipping.

I still use Amazon, I just don't pay them $99 a year for the privilege or treat them as the first store I go to
> I have no idea how that could be construed any other way. Whatever you're trying to say, you're saying it in the most confusing way possible

I think my clarifying comments above are clear enough, certainly not "the most confusing way possible". Your comments each argue against something I'm not saying or implying.

If you have no idea how my original comment couldn't be construed as anything other than implying "homosexuality is somehow unnatural and an aberration", then I suggest perhaps you're bringing something from your personal situation into your reading process. I wrote the comment immediately after reading the entire article.
I don't know. It sounds bad, but if you aren't a professional engineer lots of stuff sounds bad. "Hang a roadway from cables anchored at the ends? Madness!".

Unless you're a civil engineer, your comment is rather low in information value.
In fairness the law mandates they record the domain, it doesn't say anything about capturing more it just sets a standard for the minimum.

Given that the ISP's have now been given cart blanche to collect data that is very commercially valuable I can see some of them doing it with the hope they can sell it later.
We usually don't build binaries for Linux, we let the distributions do it, by themselves.

And how large is the probability of this happening to random people?

Perhaps we can compare it with crime. Research has shown that crime rates are reduced not when punishment increases, but when the probability of getting caught increases.

This means (translated to our case) that you can scare people all you want with doom-scenarios, but if people perceive the probability of becoming the victim of privacy invasion is low (i.e., they see it as hypothetical), then they don't care about the issue.
This response seems like a cop out to me. I, too, would like to know where one can buy meat without any packaging whatsoever. I suspect the answer is (legally), no where.
I was unaware of them until a few years ago, but in my previous job I always came in as a kid (must've been 11/12) who clearly had some kind of disability or difficulty was getting onto a Montessori bus with the biggest smile on his face. Always dropped off as I was leaving work looking content - made me think whatever they did there was a positive.
I think the point is that the "from China" is actually unneeded information. Worse, it can help build xenophobia.

Consider, the story is just as powerful with "I ordered from a vendor who had a ton of negative reviews for not delivering products." Even better, that instructs to start paying attention to reviews, and not origin of vendor. :)
I moved from OSX to Linux-only laptop in 2012. I'd intended to dual-boot, but re-installing Windows[1], even by itself, was much, much more pain than I expected; I eventually gave up on it. Go figure.

Linux having poor compatibility with laptops is, in my experience, a myth. Ubuntu worked fine, but I've since moved to Fedora, and extremely happy with it. Everything "just works". I can't really see my self going back at this point.

For me at least, the Mac's original value-proposition being a no-hassle Linux-like machine. Now that the real thing is hassle free[2], there is no point in anything else.

Finally, I've heard that it's gotten much better lately, with the "new" Microsoft (which I applaud) but, as a developer who did so for a few months this year talking about "just works", the amount of friction involved in building anything outside the narrowest "MSFT-only" niches on Windows is crazy. I'm not a ragey guy, but it got to me, and not in a good way.

[1]: The then-new Windows 8 installer had a forever-grey "next" button at one point in the install-wizard that no amount of hair-pulling seemed to fix.

[2]: I would still recommend spending a few minutes online looking for red flags when choosing a model to use.
The English word for male human certainly isn't 'were'. It might have been some time in the long past, by in sure less than 5% of people know that now.

Language evolves (yes, I know that's a cheesy thing to say). I think many people do assume "he" is referring to a male -- there certainly seems to be a growing group week want to remove it's use in non-gendered context.
Those 360 stereoscopic videos are usually precomputed. side-by-side or top-bottom videos. But you need a headset to view them, like Vive or Daydream.

We are working on this for VLC.
And how do you verify news? By going out and verifying everything personally? If not, you have to trust someone. I'd rather trust the NYT than Breitbart, because I care about veracity, not because of an allegiance to the NYT. And also because the NYT cares more about the things I care about, but that's an independent factor.
It's already illegal in the US for a corporation to lie about its products. It's not unreasonable to expect that some organizations (i.e. corporations created explicitly for the purpose of campaigning) can be sued for lying about their "product" -- a candidate, for example.

But considering the Supreme Court's historically zealous defense of the First Amendment (see: Citizens United), we're unlikely to see much change in that regard.
Looking at the training loss graph, it looks like training for more time would produce even better results...

Anyone want to volunteer a few weeks of GPU time to train this better?
That makes it seem like federalism is a procedural issue orthogonal to any particular substantive policies. But the US is, Constitutionally, an economic free trade zone. As a result, states cannot use the most potent economic tools to ensure enforcement of their laws. Even if the majority of people would prefer to have environmental or worker protection laws, a minority of people in a few states can create a nationwide race to the bottom.

As a practical matter, saying that some issue is the proper domain of the states is equivalent to saying it can't be effectively regulated at all.

And it's not like the framers were unaware of that dynamic. They empowered the federal government to regulate interstate commerce precisely as a foil to the prohibition on states to do so.
And you can get that straight out the history on the browser of the suspect as well, someone daft enough to google something that incriminating from a machine they own on a connection they own is possibly daft enough to not delete the damn search history.

It's amazing how bad some people are with computers, like astoundingly bad, It's easy to forget as techies/developers that not everyone even understands crudely how a computer works.
Yes but its already is illegal to harm or kill someone regardless what their believe. If there no such law then they should make it.

If I uphold "wrong belief", last thing I want to is to make it secret. The more people know about it, the more popular it is, the more people understand it, more chance for it to be not 'wrong' anymore.
Compressed version

> We say that history is written by the winners. That is sometimes true. We have no Carthaginian accounts of their war with Rome; few historians today have much sympathy for Hitler. But the thread that seems to connect many of the great histories of the pre-modern world is that they were written by the losers.
If it's 100% public as to what exactly is being censored: the when, the who, the what, etc - an uncensored list of this - then that'd be a very different situation than something done behind closed doors.

The question of whether we should or how could we trust Facebook or any government if they did publish a list - is it complete or not? How would we know an algorithm isn't reducing it's reach solely because it is on a specific list?
This is an unpopular opinion here, but I think net neutrality is too absolutist. If a company wants to pay to have all the data of an app be free for their users, that's great in my opinion. I don't want ISP's to extort small players or artificially slow down anyone. But if a company wants their video streaming app to be zero-rated by paying all the data costs, that seems like a business decision to me. Some people would rather everyone suffer than letting the market innovate on data plans.
Man, shitty situation. I hope you can find some help, either from books or professionals or the internet or a spiritual practice or whatever, because that's no way to live and you deserve a better life and inner world.

One thing here did jump out at me: "... I can either lie to make him feel better or tell him what's actually up and potentially lower his quality of life and instill in him a similar amount of anxiety ..."

Talk to him. Assume he has good emotional boundaries, and can hear what you have to say without taking on your suffering. Your emotional state isn't his, and he may have quite a different reaction than you would in his shoes.

Good luck man.
There is a sentence that seems to imply that the frozen status implies there is no life. I'm not so sure we can be sure of that. There are microbes on Earth that basically live in virtually frozen environments. (All you need are moments when the water is liquid.)
One can use these tricks to design the thing, then do a final pass with real models to validate it.

I hope Trump works effectively on the issue of fading working class employment in America. He's been busily appointing billionaires(not 1 billion, plural billion!) to his cabinet. I think this shows what his policy focuses will be. Let's hope in 4 years I am proved totally wrong!
Yep, saw it on Quora too.

They also celebrate it by digging holes, putting one part of the sex into it and throwing stones at it, till its gone?
Sorry, but if you pick any major religious book, pick out the sex,love and relationship-related sentences, and sort them by category's such as "Endorsing", "Controlling" "Limiting" "Condemning", i bet you 10 $ that the pile of Controlling and Limiting would be higher.
Welcome to the Panoptican crossed with a somewhat gilded cage.

How does physically going to Target help with this?
Correct, it is not much about technology. The process is broken.
Can someone familiar with the project explain why Linux support isn't available yet? I'm not familiar with how VLC's code is structured, other than a Qt-driven interface. I guess I assumed that the backend was cross-platform as well. Does the 360 degree support depend on libraries that are not yet widely available for Linux?
Unless the IMF and WTO agree, name calling is all it is. The burden of proof will be on Trump, I don't have to claim anything.
No one is arguing about freedom of the press.

Also, there are journalistic ethical rules, fake news blogspam is not the press.

For example, a journalist has certain protections, but in exchange for that he/she (or her/his editor/publisher) has to be publicly known, by name, to be accountable for what they write/publish.

And any piece of data, any representation of information is suspect of forgery. The whole problem of solipsism is still pretty valid.

And ultimately we can only resort to the good old Bayesian rule of inference: wild claims require very hard evidence.

And when an established publishing house places its reputation on the line, that counts a bit. When a shit tier conspiracy blogger claims something about Benghazi, that requires a bit more than "our sources say Bush lied about WMDs".
> The lesson that a lot of anti-Trumpers appear to have taken away from this election is that the electoral college is bad because it lets people who don't live on the coasts have a say too

No. Everyone should have an equal say. That's what national popular vote ensures. Clinton got over 2m more votes than her opponent, but will not be President. That's not democracy.

I completely agree with your point about limiting executive power.
"I usually find I don't have much to talk to anyone about unless we're doing something..."

I very much understand this statement. I think that's why I don't have more social contact - nothing to say, really. I mean, I think a lot, but it doesn't seem to match up with the sorts of things people talk about. And honestly, my life isn't that interesting to talk about. I draw every day, for example, but I can't really talk about that and be interesting.

My spouse, though, I can talk to him for hours. About the world, about sillyness, about art. It works out, and he encourages me to do different things. He fills the place of your girl for me, I think, and reflecting on that:

I'm very happy you found at least one person to connect with. Much luck to you in your future, with all the hopes that it improves over the stuff you've had to deal with.
It was common in many customer cages. I even saw cages setup in 2000 where a cage contained 500k of sun and cisco hardware still in their box after 8 months. I guess that startup was growing so fast they hadn't gotten around to plugging things in yet /s.

More likely they either ran out of funding or never got the growth they expected. Back then there was often a large disconnect between H/w bought and H/w needed/used. But money was there and hypergrowth was "just around the corner."
I have talked directly to people in higher positions in telecom industries. They are expecting a reversal on net neutrality towards more "market-friendly" positions.

Yes, this is a personal anecdote. No, I don't have a citation.

Hope for the best, but expect and prepare for the worst.
Congressional action can be slow but I think it's clear that Republicans are not going slow in this coming Congress. Your statement about the electoral college is uncalled for. Your comment would have been great without that sentence.
Why do you think they did? Maybe they just do without. That's a perfectly valid option. If you don't think you're getting value for your money at Amazon, don't spend it there. This is no way implies there's something better. It's just smart money handling.
