The only valid use of goto I've seen is for breaking out of nested loops; a goto statement is much easier than unwinding a bunch of breaks based on arbitrary logic or flags to notify each parent loop that a break is needed.
Yeah, puts is part of the part of the standard library, and uses crystal's evented io framework, fiber scheduler and libevent. This is what most of the extra code in the asm output will be doing.
Survey of Expressivity in Deep Neural Networks
The short answer is "probably, yes". This thing's been pretty exhaustively analyzed. After an afternoon of armchair research, I personally felt the evidence lead most to a fascinating fake made much later than its claimed origin date in order to fetch a high asking price. In any case, check it out sometime, it's fascinating. I may pick up this reprinting.
I divide my files in categories, the defences I put up depend on which category they belong to.

Files I casually pick up on the net go into my GPics album. Let google have the here comes dat boi harambe memes.

My family pics land on the local NAS drive, where they are stored and kept for safekeeping (though I'm considering to backup to B2B)

Of course, some photos require much more aggressive defences, in my case I use LUKS with a simple LVM-RAID1 and a 30+ character password.

I don't want everything available on the net, I want that to be available for which I don't care enough to give a singular fudge.
Database servers, whether MySQL or PostgreSQL or NoSQL ones like CouchDB should never be dockerized. This is a use case where it is inappropriate to use Docker at all. This is a case where the db server should use the entire resources of a single server and for managing that server (and its replicas or other cluster members) you use a tool like Ansible or Chef or Puppet. And you need to learn that management tool well, because you will be pushing the limits of server automation with a database server.

If you think that a database server is where you put your "application's database" then I question why you have a db server at all. That is the use case SQLITE is for. Database servers are for the use case of storing the business's mission critical data so that all the applications of the business can access needed data.

I love Docker and use it a lot, but not for everything.
I've been using own cloud for a while. Phones sync photos/videos using the own cloud app. For non-smart cameras, we'll sync the memory card to a location on a PC that is really an own cloud folder.

From there it is a nightly cron to rsync select directories in own cloud to S3. If I had more, I think I'd sync it to an external hard drive instead of S3, but my bill is still reasonable.

Yes, I realized there has been a fork in own cloud, so pick whatever makes you happy. I may switch next time I'm looking at upgrading it. For now - it is just working for me so I don't have to think about it. Every month or so I make sure that the last day has what I expect it to on my own server (in the house) and on S3.
How much loss are you currently experiencing?

How often do you sync?
They do not need empathy. They wanted to be left alone and act according to their own judgement, something that the left really could not process.
Except they didn't vote for a fiscal conservative, they voted for a guy whose primary policy proposals are tax cuts and public works programs. So they're stealing from the future either way.

If Cruz or Rubio or Ryan had been the GOP nominee, I would take your comment more seriously.
The more fingers in the pie, the higher the cost. At least that's my guess. I imagine more expensive labour and tighter regulations also greatly increase costs.
Does it include The Guardian and the New York Times as biassed?
> the big deal is implementing Signal protocol in different systems (whatsapp, allo, fb messenger..)

Strongly disagree. The point of Signal is not just that it's encrypted. The point is that the source code is GPL and the service is free. Holding up a bunch of closed-source, proprietary, for-profit applications as examples of success only serves to obscure what should be the real goal: decentralized, anonymous, metadata-less, encrypted communication that anyone can easily use. Signal could be much closer to that goal but OWS & moxie refuse to allow decentralization or anonymity for bad reasons.
I really really disagree with this.

I think the evidence is against you. The economics research shows that the 'best returns' come from early education, with diminishing returns the further progress is made.

It is counter intuitive I know, but mass education is similar to macro economics. Helping everybody can help nobody.

South Korea and Japan put a lot of focus on education, work insane hours for comparatively low pay, pay stupid rents and are also in a wage stagnation.

Put it like this:

You get to a middle income economy by doing 1 thing. You get to a high income economy by doing another thing. It is unlikely getting to a very high income economy is accomplished by replicating the former process that took you up a step originally.

I read https://groups.google.com/d/msg/vim_use/XX6SoxHAzhI/vuyIx71G... and it doesn't look like a brush-off to me.

What's missing is the statement that this is how things work when one is relying upon terminals to respond to special control sequences with strings denoting their capabilities. In theory one could save up and re-process the input characters that arrive before the DECDSR response. In practice, people throw them away.

Did you try it on a non-xterm terminal type, as was suggested?
No, I can't really tell you, it's all in my view at this point just whatever comes handy to declare your enemy as being doubleplusungood and beyond the pale.

This is not an accurate understanding.

But it is a useful point for the conversation to reach. If you are not willing to evaluate the accuracy of that belief, you also won't give consideration to other arguments that contradict it.
Sounds fairly simple (which is not to say easy to implement); you keep the car tied to the database of origin for the duration of the ride (other users don't need to know about it while it's occupied), then you can migrate the car to the other DB when it's idle.
Any every other language out there. It is far easier for people to identify with what they don't like than it is to identify with what they do like.
First, I am not telling all consumers to do it, but the ones that "really want to support free software"

No, I said that Africa is more peaceful than it has been at most points since before the colonial era. But yes, that means that the vast majority of the African continent is currently at peace. Africa is big.

A substantial majority of the wars on the continent have ended over the last 10-15 years, including civil wars that have been going for decades. Most of the remaining conflicts are relatively subdued or restricted to smaller regions.

And yes, Africa has experienced an economic boom. The GDP growth rates in most African countries over the last decade has vastly outperformed most of the rest of the world, including largely remaining unaffected by the financial crisis that hit developed countries. Africa as a whole is seeing a GDP growth on average around the 5% mark year over year. That includes the worst war torn regions.

E.g. Nigeria: ~510 USD GDP per capita in 2003 vs ca. 3000 in 2013. Ghana 375 to 1858. Kenya: 439 to 1245. Sudan 471 to 1753 - you'll note this is a country still dealing with the aftermath of civil war. Ethiopia: 119 to 505. Rwanda: 202 to 638. Democratic Republic of Congo: 175 to 484 (worth nothing that DRC/Zaire was above 600 prior to the civil wars, that destroyed the economy, before it started rebuilding in the early part of this century. Angola: 920 to 5783. Zambia: 449 to 1844. Egypt: 1194 to 3314. Algerie: 2056 to 5360. Niger: 222 to 385 (Niger was slightly higher in 1980 but kept going the wrong way through the '80's and 90's). Chad: 293 to 1095 (despite being at war with Sudan until 2010).

And so on.

The exceptions are few: Somalia doesn't have reliable numbers, but it was heading for a total crash in the late 90's and it's unlikely that it's back where it was.Libya peaked in 2008 at 15853. It was at 4437 in 2003, and 11964 in 2013, heading into another crash. I'm sure there are a few others. But they are too few to drag down the continent as a whole.

For most African countries, there was a drastic rise in growth rates around the turn of the century, following the end of a large number of civil wars and other conflicts, rise in trade - especially exports to Asia, as a follow on effect from the growth of China and other Asian countries.

Currently, the World Bank expects most African countries to fall in the "middle income" category by 2025 if current growth continues.

Current projections is for Sub-Saharan Africa alone to reach a combined GDP of $29 trillion by 2050, up from $2.39 trillion for Africa as a whole in 2013.

In recent years there's been exceptional growth rates in some countries, with Mauretania approaching 20% year over year GDP growth, Angola 17.6%, Sudan 9.6%.

> This is the worse version of a technical failure. Admitting a technical failure would therefore be automatically better then a hack.

I really doubt that's the way the general public views this (and they're the ones that matter when it comes to what companies are willing to admit)

If they say they had a technical error the perception would be that it's their fault.

If they say that they've been hacked the perception would be that it's because someone else did something bad, so they're the victims.

I think this is terrible, but I fear that it's the truth

This article is an example of what over ~20 years has steadily turned me away from the FSF. How does this article do any good?

At the bottom of the page it says:

"Our mission is to preserve, protect and promote the freedom ..."

And yet, they're endlessly stuck dividing the world into smaller and smaller cohorts of purity.

It's 15 years since the OSI. Open Source as a term has done more to get FOSS into business than anything else: Open Source is the Heineken of Free Software whose slogan was "reaching the parts that others can't"! And yet, they still don't get it!

There is value in being controversial as it makes headlines and spreads the word. But, they're too insular - arguably, at a time when the values of FOSS needs more positive explanation and engagement, given the direction of software and technology today.

This is a great point. Keep am eye on the "Raspberry Pi clamshell case" type laptops. These are truly disruptive. A much higher end version of this could be interesting. I'd consider an Octacore A64 with 8-16GB RAM and 4K or better display.

mmc, regedit, powershell, sure this could cascade much further, but I think maybe op had the default privacy options in mind, which enable windows to use the camera and microphone feeds as the os sees fit.

I want my photos local, under my control. I don't have an issue with using the cloud to ease distribution of my photos to all the devices on which I want to view them, but I want a local repository having all my photos - which I will also keep backed up. FWIW, I feel the same way about music, too.
Contrary to a lot of comments I've seen lately I haven't had any issues with Amazon (is this wrong to say?). Maybe I've just not been purchasing the right (er, wrong) things but I've never had an issue with their customer service or item quality. One time I received an item a day late, got a full refund and a second item was shipped out to me next day.

I've been a prime member for the past 6 years or so and I think prime is just getting better for my needs. I noticed my mouse wheel was making noise at 2 am Saturday morning. I ordered a wireless G403 and a sleep mask and had both by 8pm that night for no shipping cost (other than what I pay for Prime).

I'm not too price conscious when it comes to small items, but the mouse was $20 cheaper than at Microcenter.

On topic: I'm glad to see this review change. Personally I think they could go even more strict on non-verified reviews. I am extremely skeptical of products that provide reviews for a discount. But if it's an item that quality really matters, I already know what I'm buying when I get to Amazon -- I've done my research.

Interesting that this doesn't apply to books. Is that market just vastly different?
Marshall from StackShare here - we hate crawling through 5 million emails to find good developer deals each year, so we built this list of the best Cyber Monday discounts on SaaS tools, books, courses, and more. Some of the ones we like:

- Codeship: 25% off first 2 months (Code: CMUL25FOR2)

- Paw: 50% off immediately

- Commando.io: 15% off any plan for life (Code: USERLIKECYBER)

- Cloud Academy: All plans 50% off

We'll be updating the list as the day moves on, so if you have any killer deals you find feel free to share 'em.
Thanks for this- I read "Understand" around the mid-'90s in a Greek translation. I lost the copy of the magazine that it was printed in so I could not remember the name of the author, besides the fact that it was Asian. I did remember the story though and the title. I just had a look at Chiang's page on wikipedia and found it there :)

It is more "care about support" than attributes.
It really depends on the game and what the designers and programmers considered ideal or non-ideal at that time. There might not even be unanimous opinion among the creators of what the ideal behavior would be; that's often seen in film, where an actor, director, and screenwriter all have somewhat different interpretations of a character. On one hand you have stuff like Cave shooters where they've tried to reproduce the slowdown in ports because it's expected in the genre and affects difficulty. On the other hand you have stuff like Shadow of the Colossus, which was almost certainly not intended to have extreme framerate drops.

We can objectively talk about various metrics of accuracy compared to the original hardware. Authorial intent is, pretty much by definition, a matter of opinion (and authors themselves, over the years, often change their ideas of what their intent was).
Eh. For small scale, running a DB in a container and linking the DB storage to a directory on the host's filesystem works well enough.

I can't talk about large scale since I don't have first hand experience managing a setup like that.
How dare Trump make unsubstantiated claims! Only Jill Stein and Hillary Clinton are allowed to make those.

The article does a fair job of pointing it there is no evidence for either sides claims, but the title is worded to mislead. Where is the title "Jill Stein claims vote hacking but offers no evidence"?
If you would use something like Ansible it would be just as fast because it is fully automated, and there would be no work at all to change a config because Ansible will also customize config files from templates. Chef and Puppet and SaltStack work similarly, just learn how to use your tool of choice.
Batteries are not predictable, they degrade based on the chemistry stored within it, they lose charges based on usage, temperature, and so on. You may have a great battery life in the warm climate but go where it is cold, your battery life takes a hit, it's the same device but the battery reacts to the temp much faster (which degrades it) and you're charging it more often, which degrades it even further.

SoC chips are far more predictable because they don't degrade as much as batteries do, they're more "solid"/"fixed". That's not to say they don't have issues, companies do have yield issues and defects but they're caught at the very beginning, not later. That's unlike batteries because their issues are often caught later after they're out of the factories, it's why Samsung was surprised. They wouldn't be stupid to sell bad batteries to destroy all of the momentum they had going.

Apple tends to have more technology in their batteries to ensure they don't overheat, charge consistently and so on but that doesn't actually resolve all of the chemistry issues.

When you have an unpredictable part, you're bound to have unpredictable issues with software.

In this case, it's not the battery that's giving Apple issues, it's the combination of software and battery. Apple is just at the point where everything is so complex that it is virtually impossible to fix them quickly and to get it right the first time. However, Apple can and needs to step up and offer free battery replacements, stop with these BS programs they have for iPhone 6/6S now.
Magnet Ban Cleared
I flashed the router my ISP provided with dd-wrt because of this (and the fact I trust the dd-wrt team more than the routers stock firmware) since a monoculture is never a good thing.
I did, one contact registered since last december (after I told them about it), and in the last two weeks, 3 new contacts did.

I asked them if there had been something that prompted them to install it, they said it was my other contact (the first one) who told them about it.

I rarely do any proselytism.

Yes, I do. Ultimately there is no such thing as a sustainable way of life, thanks to the second law of thermodynamics. It's not that long until the sun burns out - by which time we'll have to have figured out how to settle not only on other planets but in other solar systems.
And at the same time they're thinking about connecting Beijing and Shanghai via maglev train. [1] Could be hugely successful, the current line (5hr trip) is already at capacity and there's a lot of air traffic.

Offering a 2.5hr drive between the 2 major cities should pay off financially.

5) configuration and version drift is guaranteed since you have to restart databases to make any changes

5a) ignores MySQL's ability to make many runtime config changes without a restart

6) hard-codes master/slave relationships into the boot process (at least if I'm understanding the config json)

7) adds additional risk (noted as docker crashes) and client issues (noted as "userland proxy" comment)

8) requires additional ops overhead (noted as special care needed for masters)

But if you already run everything in docker and really want to get rid of puppet, then why not?

this article links to ansible but not puppet and is the only blog post tagged with either one; I think this really boils down to puppet vs $x
Last year, I was in Hefei, for RoboCup. 4.5 million inhabitants, yet I've never heard anything about that city for anything not related to our trip there.

There was construction work going on everywhere, new apartment buildings going up, completely new airport, roads: busy everywhere.

Unfortunately, I didn't see the sun for a week because I was either inside, programming for RoboCup and the times I was outside, the smog limited visibility. I have no idea what the skyline of the city looked like or get and idea of how big the city really was because I simply couldn't see further than 500m.

- phone numbers allow for signal to be a drop in replacement for other messaging apps with minimal to no registration required, I doubt I could have gotten my mother to use signal without switching from texting being so low-friction.

- lack of federation means ows can control spam better unlike in a federated environment where lazy/malicious operators can cause lots of problems. Take a look at the 2 big federated protocols email and irc where due to spam and other issues they are both increasingly centralized.
While I doubt it will give us any joy on this issue, Trump's presidency will be a failure unless he successfully takes on the Uniparty establishment that operates, or rather not, like this.

I don't think his vanity will allow him to fail without making a really serious and ongoing effort, and those who deny his effectiveness and ability are by and large those who claimed he'd never get win nomination or the election.

So, my advise is don't despair quite yet. Heck, perhaps wait until 2018 to see if he doesn't run a campaign against a "Do Nothing Congress" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80th_United_States_Congress). Aside from Reince Priebus and that part of the RNC which followed Priebus, he owes the political establishment nothing.

I haven't had this experience at all. Prime ships in two days almost always. Same day prime does was it says. I've had refunds without having to ship back products, and when I did have to ship back a product (shoes) I got the refund right away and free return shipping like they advertised. I'm also in a major US metro area.

Prices don't seem too bad. My latest purchase was head and shoulders. Looked up the price at Walmart and it was 10 cents more expensive than Amazon. This is my experience for most home goods. For anything not home goods, they're certainly cheaper than any in-person store that I can think of.

I'm not sure which of our experiences is the outlier. One thing that might be different is that almost all my purchases are Prime shipping items.
