I made a similar comment last month after having recently moved back from living abroad for several years. I'm genuinely curious, do Americans notice how far things have changed compared to a couple years ago? Or were the changes so gradual that no one's noticed? I didn't visit the States during my time abroad so the difference to me was very shocking
You can see this recently submitted link [0] which tries to answer this question in depth. I believe that python 3 readiness[1] and python 3 wall of superpowers[2] are good indicators of the overall trend towards Python 3 adoption, but the sample size of packages considered in these two websites are not big enough to provide a complete picture of the situation.

No, I'm pretty sure there's no intention to restrict redistribution. The "services" refers to support, I think. I'll see what I can do to get this clarified.
It's called a header for a reason, unless we are now redefining the meaning and intent of headers, so that people could stick C++ template code in them?
Tests like this are always a choice between two problems, either it is artificial, can be gamed and doesn't represent real world usage, or it's not repeatable and insufficiently controlled. At least one of those criticisms always apply.

Well done, Grasshopper. You are now ready to begin the true journey of understanding.
I know the whole stereotype of suburban isolation is popular, but I have never found it to be true. I have lived in cities, small towns, and in suburbia. I found suburban folk knew their neighbors the most. In the city, people ignore each other. In small towns, you know everyone, but almost too much so. But in the suburbs, we knew everyone within about 5 homes, and the kids would go out and play together, we'd have dinners together, see each other at the parks... it was a community. It was the stereotype of talking across the fence to your neighbor as you both did yard work.

I'm not defending suburbia... I don't like it in general, and now have a small homestead in a small town, but my dislike of suburbia does NOT stem from social isolation.
There's something quite... strange... about showing off how you can use your framework to reimplement games from the 1980s that ran on computers millions of times slower than modern computers.
You don't address the point of the article which is battery life though.

You are missing the point. If everyone around you wants you dead and willing to do it, you're going to die. If the CIA knows of a terrorist camp and wants to kill the people there, they are going to die.

That's not the point. Bitcoin is being compared to Twitter. If you have majority stock in Twitter, you can probably buy the rest at a reasonable price. Not so with Bitcoin, or any other currency/medium of exchange.
OK, now that I've read more than the derivative post, it seems that there's a software glitch in Safari.
You didn't get the part where Amazon "started thinking about this" 4 years ago but Monoprice is already doing it for 10 years.

Either Amazon copied the ideia or they reinvented the wheel.
I derive a lot of satisfaction from fixing things myself. I watch YouTube clips that show me how to do anything to my Jeep. I recently bought an old farm house that's a constant list of new projects to work on, and a yard to landscape. I feel like Hank Hill sometimes, and my co-workers act like it's not worth their time to do those kind of things (they just buy new cars whenever something little happens to them). But I've been pleasantly surprised by how much fun it is to save money and learn new skills. It's a great feeling when you have the right tool for an important job.
People don't kill each other, even if they want to, because they know if they do they will probably spend the rest of their lives in prison. What do you mean this doesn't dissuade people?
I appreciate the fact that they made the keys on the pro much more clicker than the MacBook. The butterfly keys on them seemed unusable for serious typing, though I've only used them in stores, so perhaps it takes getting used to.

The Road to Pokémon Go–And Beyond
I definitely get this argument that regulations decreases competition, but they are there for protecting the consumer. I don't believe they were created to skew the marketplace, but they have indeed done this. It's a tough question, because self-policing doesn't work, we need organizations designed to protect the consumer.

The recent fight between CA, SF and Uber around the "self-driving car" tests is interesting to me personally, because I ride my bike in San Francisco almost every day, and sometimes with my kids. I do believe that self-driving or driver assisted cars will be safer than people alone, but I also want to know that there have been some amount of testing requirements met so that I know my family and I are safe.

So I ask this question, if your premise is that regulations are overly burdensome, and there is evidence to support this, what do we replace it with to get the same or better oversight of industries?

Had one for about 10 days, returned it for a variety of factors, but overall, it was a nice machine. But for my workload, I think I'll move to a 2015 if I can get the config I want - should be ~ $1000 cheaper for about 95% of the benefit (some weight, some speed, retina screen, etc). $3700 ($3500 + tax) ended up feeling just a bit too much for the speed/value. Apparently, though, if I wait a bit longer, we might see a 32g model next year?
This actually looks more useful to me than Amazon's version.
Yes, of course. I was just explaining what the lichess platform would need (and why) to be perfect in my humble opinion. It would be nice to use the same chess app for everything chess related, with the social aspect working offline like a progressive web app.
SolidWorks 2017 Crack, Keygen, Serial Number Full
> I've had mine for a week now, and have been able to use it alongside my late-2014 rMBP, which has been a solid workhorse. I'm starting to notice very subtle preferences for the 2017 model creeping in - after an hour of typing, for example, going back to the old keyboard feels really, really inefficient and antiquated, and my typing rate is lower than on the new rMBP.

For me it's the EXACT opposite - everytime I return to my 2014, it feel so much better and the strain on my hands is significantly lowered. The new keyboard just doesn't feel right or comfortable even after weeks.

> I also really enjoy the Touchbar - it hasn't been too intrusive, and binding ESCAPE to Caps Lock has been an acceptable re-configuration for me as a vim user.

For me the touchbar is empty 90% of the time. And I can't even put application shortcuts there :/

32g next year? This is the first I've heard of that. Do you have any references?
I really hope so. The 16gb ram limit is what's keeping me from pulling the trigger on one.
This is an article that (incompletely) summarizes the Consumer Reports article[1]. The reason for the wildly varying performance appears to be due to a bug (presumably) in Safari. They had consistent results with Chrome:

> Once our official testing was done, we experimented by conducting the same battery tests using a Chrome browser, rather than Safari. For this exercise, we ran two trials on each of the laptops, and found battery life to be consistently high on all six runs.

I've been using a 13" MacBook Pro (without Touch Bar) for six weeks now, and have found the battery life very impressive (I use Chrome rather than Safari).

What if you value your consciousness and the here and now more than the idea of your DNA staying alive well after you're dead?

To me, my consciousness is my identity (myself). The body is just a vessel for it, and once it craps out, and takes the consciousness down with it, I couldn't care less about my DNA (a bit of a tautology, but you get the idea).
I mostly agree with this author's post but I think the 'I just want to play around with this' vibe of the original post mostly missed.

So yes - those things are "expensive" (in the 'it's a lot of money' sense) but "inexpensive" in the (stuff is hard to build and takes some knowledge and parts).

But I feel reminded of those cheap 60 bucks tablets that are not high end and fail all the time for various reasons, but if you just want a wall-mounted touchscreen why would you buy an ipad instead of one of these.

Actually type hinting was released with 3.5. I've been using it for a while now, and while there's occasional bugs, I love it (I was able to crash my program at runtime because of a type declaration, which isn't supposed to happen).

The difference here is the ability to add type annotations to variables without needing to use a comment to declare it.

I'm also pretty excited for the formatted string literals and secrets module!

That is a pretty big assumption, and I would like to highlight it more.

The reason why it's a reasonable assumption is that in any material outcome, common share preferences converge to preferred share preferences.

Yes, once in a while you have an exit at 0.3x to 0.8x latest round where the investors are made whole and common share holders take an excessive haircut or are wiped out entirely. Good Technologies is an example here.

But looking at VC returns, almost all come from ~5x+ exits: "home runs". In fact, most VCs will block acquisitions at less than 2x latest round valuation except in case of corporate distress.

We were discussing for a bit & then he went silent. Haven't heard from him since

I kind of stepped in, rewrote the peepholer, & then initiated the python dev discussion earlier than he wanted to. He wanted to develop the idea & benchmark it in a bubble, whereas I really felt that this should be developed with feedback from core Python developers. Serhiy was very patient with me, there was a lot of feedback it turns out

Fun little issue that thankfully got caught last month: http://bugs.python.org/issue28782 (I had thought about this error case, but at the time I had lasti being -2 & the first byte of the bytecode is never 72. I forgot this constraint when having lasti be -1 still)
Any issue fixable by software is a software issue.
The majority of the largest libraries support 2 and 3. It's become a very small issue for me. I still need to "fall back" to python 2 occasionally though when a vendor doesn't support 3. Namely for me, I need to use the google-ads client library and AWS Lambda, neither of which support Py3. However the majority of my projects are Py3.
Main eshell advantage is tramp integration. I can "cd /computer:" to change my directory to remote machine. From there, I can open a file as though it were local. Grep opens results in a buffer that acts as an index to the results. And my magit shortcut acts correctly.

Meant to clarify, I was not defending pushd/popd. It is a tough experience. Not a tough experience to beat. And pedagogical is a perfectly fine motivation.
The most interesting parts are PYTHONMALLOC and Probes (DTrace and SystemTap). Profiling and debugging are very important in production.
Interesting.

As a counterargument, I've seen a few people turn into complete monsters once their kids were born. Their justification was "I have kids now and I'll do literally anything for my family, fuck everyone else and their needs." (paraphrased). It's all fine and dandy until the instinct for survival kicks in.

Yep, Einstein was an expert in his field who wrote a couple of ground-breaking papers in his field. As far as I can tell no-one who is an expert in AI (or even similar fields) is worried at all about super-intelligence.
> I don't agree with the assumption that a factory making paperclips will make the transition to a super intelligent AI in a short time frame.

Why? Because factories run by humans take a long time to transition? It might take weeks or months to make a process tweak in a human-run factory, but deploying new code happens in seconds or faster.

If by that you mean you were then unable to collaborate with them, perhaps you have less of this than you imagined?
First off, the standard test uses the default stock browser, aka Safari, not Chrome. They switched to Chrome as an additional test and found the battery times to be far more consistent. Sounds more like a software issue to me than a hardware one.

To get that from apt/yum/pacman you need chroots, containers or virtualization.

Not to bash Gorilla, because it looks like excellent stuff, but I do not understand the general obsession with specialized TS stores.

If you're operating on FB-scale, then sure that's what you have to do, but in most cases your database (especially Postgres) is a far superior option.

Time series is "unusual" in the sense that most people don't know first thing about it, event folks with degrees in math/statistics. I think this is why there is the prevailing misconception that it requires a specialized database.

Incidently I've just written a blog about storing TS in PostgreSQL:

That's one. If as many people who have spoken out about AI risk would also "firmly believe we're in a simulation", it would shift my views (I would expect there to be some evidence or very strong arguments for it).

I studied engineering at Cornell. We had a diverse student body, and this article is just one person's experience. For me, I had a great conversation with my plumber. Clever trick: he stores the snaker in an old tire so he can just roll it around.

For my business, the advantage is initial credibility to customers, but there's so much work beyond that. The software has to be useful, the sales process has to be navigated, and the customer has to be trained and supported.

I've realized life is what I make of it. If I want to converse with my plumber, then we will have a great conversation. If I find building a business fulfilling, then I will build a business. Cornell didn't teach me to do these things; Cornell also didn't teach me not to do these things. We had a diverse student body: this is how I think, and it's different from the author.

For reference, i'm running gitlab-ce on a 2 core 2gb vm with 8gb disk and except for one out of memory error about 6 months ago it has been running great for a single user. For more serious use i'd give it way more resources, but for personal use it's humming along perfectly.

Now there is a useful quote to carry around in your head.
> We can reliably presume that it will need energy to achieve those goals. Will it need to achieve them quickly? Why?

Because a designer has told it to do this thing "as fast as possible", probably.

> Also, if we're going to build a brain and assume no quantum weirdness - why assume the total absence of a subjective morality? Why assume completely immunity to social influence, which the brains we observe most all encounter?

There is a lot more detail on this point in Bostrom's writings. Social influence is not the natural state of intelligence, it's something that has been built in by evolution. It won't be there in an AI unless we put it in there deliberately.

> having determined that the probability that some action it would take would result in its own destruction with a non-zero probability and that it is instead taking the safe route and not acting at all.

AI is all about making the best possible inferences from limited information - that's literally the whole point of the field. If there is no absolutely safe path it will go for the path it thinks is safest, and pay attention to what's happening. After all, turning itself off is very unlikely to result in its long-term survival.
I don't agree/understand Elon's reasoning here.

> If we aren’t actually living through a simulation, Mr Musk said, then all human life is probably about to come to an end and so we should hope that we are living in one. “Otherwise, if civilisation stops advancing, then that may be due to some calamitous event that stops civilisation,” he said at the Recode conference.

I don't know why we should hope for that because any civilization in a layer in the stack of sims could be destroyed, which would destroy all nested sims beneath.

In fact you should hope you're further up the stack as much as possible because then the probability of destruction is lower.

> Uber's main counterargument is that the plaintiff is a sophisticated individual (Stanford Law grad, experienced engineer), and he should have been aware that early exercising more than $100,0000 worth of ISO-type stock options converted them to NSOs.

It's more confusing than that. If your equity is valued at more than $100,000, if you exercise even one share early, the entire grant above $100,000 converts to NSOs.

This is a really, really easy point to trip up on.
