Now that you mention it, I think the idea might be inspired by what Dolly Parton does with her reading program. A child can sign up and the program will send them books for free. Considering music and arts funding don't seem to be high priorities in modern US systems (my perspective, could be wrong) having a low-cost or charitable music version sounds like it fits nicely too.

Honestly I'm pulling up memories now of watching other people's kids over the years playing with various music stuff I've handed over (Korg Monotron synths were the biggest hit) and those are really pleasant to recall!

XPS user here, I really love this laptop (L502x) but I will "never" buy Dell laptops again.

Because, this laptop is 4 or 5 years old (work like charm) but the problem with all Dell laptop models are, their adapter has worst quality ever. Simply, Dell adapters are not built to last long.

When Dell adapter is broken (a.k.a the chip inside doesn't send signal that it's genuine one) Dell laptop stops charging the battery, shows annoying adapter not recognized message.

And most annoyingly it drops CPU speed, I have Sandybridge 2630QM cpu i7 with 2.5 Ghz but failing adapter makes it speed 900 Mhz and it doesn't get any faster. IF you plug out the adapter then it turns back to normal but putting back on "not recognized" adapter causes the same issue.

So simply, Dell kills your laptop completely if the adapter is broken. So now I either have to buy a new laptop or find a used adapter to replace my current 4 year one.

That's one big problem with politics - it's a weaponized art of crying wolf. Everything, no matter how trivial, is an emergency, and "it's most critical to be aware" of it. Most of those things sort themselves out anyway, and are in fact of little real consequence.
> Also, the article mentions that LIGO has witnessed 3 black hole mergers. Last I heard LIGO had only witnessed 2.

Two have been published as bona fide BH mergers. The third is a signal in the LIGO data that doesn't formally meet the statistical significance criteria, and so is classified as a "GW candidate" rather than a detection. Unfortunately I don't have a reference for it, but this was discussed during a seminar I attended last month, given by Pedro Marronetti (NSF Program Director for LIGO, I believe).

This. Exactly this. The treatment AMD got from LKML was slightly deserved but doing that they alienated a hardware partner and indirectly set the precedent for doing closed source binary releases that use HAL anyway. It sucks for the consumers and that's what drives the installed base of Linux.
It's not, at all, but it took me by surprise and I made a mess of it. In hindsight the answer was less than 10 lines of python. The next time I went round an interview loop I rote learned all the CS101 stuff, because that's what you have to do (I'm not a computer scientist).

The issue was that the comp contained a lot of stuff that you couldn't deduce in 10 minutes. For example, all-shortest-paths graph search, performing huge calculations (e.g. stuff that blows up extremely fast), monte carlo simulations and other bits and pieces. It would have made for a much more interesting interview.
While that's probably true, it won't happen overnight, and I understand their position of wanting it merged before rolling out new hardware, or more generally, as soon as possible.

I chose my accountant because I could record my spendings online. He can just generate my yearly reports on one click in his backend, which he bills €80 for, "per click". He gives better advice because he has more customers, thanks to this efficiency, he doesn't spend time on mundane stuff and spends most his time meeting customers like me who present him various problems to solve, therefore he's more accoustomed to problem-solving.

Comapanies in my coworking space switch one after one. One has gone from a ~6500€ yearly bill to ~3500€ (3 employees), while improving reportability.

I don't think this is going to be a productive discussion, so this is my last comment on the matter.

I already gave you a definition of what it means to be obsolete for standards (such as specifications of programming languages).

In general, an old standard will become obsolete once the new standard (that is supposed to replace it) is finalized (for example, in RFCs, they explicitly say that). At that point, there are probably no serious users of the new standard yet, so the actual usage doesn't matter.

Of course a standard can be de facto rejected by people abandoning it instead of accepting it. Then usually there will either be another standard that obsoletes the old one again (as was a case with XHTML and HTML 5), or people will move on entirely to something else; in either case, the old standard will remain obsolete.

That sounds like unnecessary micromanaging. You couldn't possibly have enough detailed knowledge to know the proper order of tasks in all cases. Possibly even most cases.

I agree that communicating the priorities are important, but the boots on the ground have a much better understanding of what they're working with than you do.

One experimenter gave accurate clues; the other gave inaccurate ones.... But for half of the children the game was rigged so that ultimately they would find the hidden objects.

So one adult was always giving bad advice and one was always giving good advice. But in half the games it was rigged so the child always found the toy even if they looked in the wrong places. The advice from the adults was still always bad and good advice for the rigged games.

Afterwards they asked the kids who they thought were more helpful. Even though one adult was giving bad advice always and one adult was giving good advice always the 4-5 years olds only discerned this if they actually lost the game when they didn't follow the good advice, even though the adult giving bad advice was always still giving bad advice.

I think the key is they must have rigged the game to ensure the bad advice adult was always still giving bad advice. If the bad advice turned into good advice in the rigged version then it wouldn't work, just like you said.

I think a good chunk of San Francisco should also be up-zoned for mixed uses and more housing units in buildings up to 5 stories with less parking requirement. All the pale yellow here is very low density residential: http://default.sfplanning.org/zoning/zoning_map.pdf

But anyway, I don’t think it would be inherently terrible to have relatively low density suburbs.

The problem is that all the towns in the peninsula love building massive amounts of new office space, but don’t build enough housing for the workers to live there. As a result, the workers all live in SF and commute daily to the peninsula by car or corporate shuttle. This is a horrible planning pattern for everyone. (Except for the peninsula towns who get big tax revenue from the office space and don’t have to pay for any of the costs of housing the workers’ families.)

It’s plausible that increasing the housing supply in Silicon Valley suburbs would even decrease commute-hours traffic. (I’m not enough of an expert to predict precisely.)
I think they mean an overwhelmingly strong prior that GR is correct in this particular instance.
Shouldn't we put resources like this on a CDN?
I agree with you. We really are a hypocritical bunch. This move may have essentially alienated any new hardware maker from making open source drivers. They too may go the closed source, taped together with a HAL way and that's not good for the long run.

This essentially gives a nod to the way Nvidia's been treating Linux.
I think of it more as a "demultiplexing" difficulty. I can hear the sound coming from their mouth, I just can't separate it from everything else and decode the language. I know that my hearing is good, even above average, and I don't suffer from tinnitus. I used to notice that I would have to ask people to repeat things a lot, and that other people didn't seem to have the same problem. I've found that watching the speaker's lips helps to some extent.

My own theory is that nobody can, in fact, hear everything that people say in such situations. But their mind does a great deal of work filling in the gaps. Our languages are surprisingly redundant, and quite often you can pick up everything you need to know from broken audio and other input like facial expressions and gesticulation. I think that my brain is worse at filling in the gaps.
Agree, it's back up (right now); it was down for 30-40 minutes though.

> A fairly obvious one if you think of that - some photons will orbit the black hole.

That some photons would orbit black holes is fairly well-known. There's an "innermost stable circular orbit"[0] ("photon sphere" for rotating black holes [1]), inside which stable (circular) orbits do not exist. These are at larger radii than the event horizon and so would be unrelated to the firewall proposal.

To quote Ira Glass here:
"Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through."

> Your comments make me think the crux of the problem is that people want tickets to be like email and use email to manage them. I'm not sure you can ever overcome the "chronological pile-up" problem if you allow email as a user interface to ticketing.

I agree that's partly it, but that seems ok when you're in the thick of discussing a problem/fix. If you're doing a code review or something after a fix has been pushed, you actually want certain messages to stand out to describe resolutions and whatnot.

So like gmail where you can star/mark certain replies as important and those messages would show up at top-level in the ticket, where all other messages are collapsed.

Where photons orbit a black hole is called a Photon Sphere.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_sphere

It's at 1.5 times the radius of the event horizon for a non-charged, non-rotating black hole. But it's more of a theoretical than practical construct. You wouldn't expect to actually find any photons there because the orbit is unstable and any deviance from a perfect orbit would accumulate exponentially.

AMD was told 6 months ago that it wouldn't be merged if they didn't follow certain guidelines. Then they didn't follow the guidelines.

What bothers me here, is the way AMD's management has handled the whole thing.

It seems like management demanded it be a certain way, and the coders were forced to build something they knew would be unmergable. And then management chucked a hissy fit.

There's been really good work here, and management has got upset, rather than follow guidelines, or nVidia's example.

It reflects really badly on the company, which is sad considering the space for AMD left by nVidia's Optimus kafuffle.

There is a market for GPUs here, but it does need to show some professionalism, which they (management) haven't.
It's very simple, Linux won't bend the rules for anyone, and that includes AMD.

The sooner they realize that, the faster they can actually work together with Linux kernel maintainers.

Lambdas are not really pythonic these days anyway

list(map(lambda (some, thing): some + thing, everything))

list(some + thing for (some, thing) in everything)

Or, as the parent suggests, just create helper function, preferably one your python environment doesn't need to set up every time your outer function is called

# okish, "verbose lambda"
def compute(everything):
def magic(elem):
some, thing = elem
return some + thing
return list(map(magic, everything))

# probably better
def magic(some, thing):
return some + thing
def compute(everything):
return list(magic(some, thing) for (some, thing) in everything)
I'm not in the industry but I would really love a better way of growing your own food indoors while minimizing as much space but growing enough to support two people a day.

Basically it is either build your own large messy setup or buy a complete novel piece of crap that will barely support a single meal... aka aerogarden.

It would be nice to have basically a large self contained opaque cabinet with drawers of growing food.

Basically I want a food growing appliance with plumbing and electrical hookups.

Why would you want to downvote somebody trying to help you?

In any case, I think I see your problem. You are not the sole user of Python language. There are features that other people like (such as using '*' in unpacking), and so features you like are weighted against their use cases, and a reasonable compromise is made.

And frankly, I think if you like to use lambdas that much, you really want to program in a language where everything is an expression, such as Lisp or Haskell.

Photons orbit the black hole in the photon sphere which is located outside of the event horizon, at 1.5 times the Schwarzschild radius in case of a Schwarzschild black hole. As far as I know such orbits are also usually not stable. For a photon to orbit the black hole in the photon sphere it has to move tangentially, to reach the photon sphere the photon needs to move with at least some radial component and a photon can of course not just fire its rockets when reaching the photon sphere to enter the orbit. The idea of the firewall is very different from the idea of photons orbiting a black hole which was studied a long time ago.

If you have several large software products rolled out and churning away at hundreds of customer sites, moving from Python 2.x all the way to 2.7 alone is a slow and tedious process of tests and deliberations. And we're still not talking about going all the way to 3.x which breaks things in even more new and exciting ways.

So scoff all you want, but Python 2.x isn't going away that soon.

> That is incorrect. […] The text model of rust is much closer to Python 2 than 3 in many ways.

Rust's text model strictly separates proper strings and bytestrings, defaults to proper strings and requires that strings be properly formed (so much so that it has additional completely separated platform-dependent types for dealing with OS-originated "stuff").

The one "difference" (which is more in the realm of implementation detail than language text model) is that Rust leverages its ownership system to make UTF8 "encoding" and "decoding" free (literally for the former, essentially for the former). The encoding and decoding are still there and explicit operations though.

> Rust's text model has (almost) free (and copyless) transmutes from bytes to strings.

Only for the specific case of input bytes already in the language's internal encoding (which granted will be common as most inputs would be ascii or utf-8) and with the same ownership constraints as the input, and that's mostly enabled by Rust's ownership model.

> Python does not.

Python doesn't generally do no-alloc/0-copy operations so that's not overly surprising.
