Yes. When this came first up, someone on /r/machinelearning scoffed that using NNs to control fans/coolers/power systems to optimize was trivial and obvious and had been done for decades. When I challenged him for a ref, he produced a PDF which listed dozens of industrial applications for various nonlinear NN algorithms... none of which were actually autonomously controlling anything and most were predictive.
I'm not sure art is the exemplar you want to bring up. There's a reason that the "starving artist" is a meme. And, previous to modern times, art was largely a patronage-based business.

Are there USB-C to, uh, "normal" USB adapters out? You know, that go the OTHER way?

I'd hate to not be able to use the USB-C Yubikey with my desktop, my keyboard port, my hubs, etc. Seems easier to just use the normal Yubikey plus a dongle for the few machines that support USB-C.

Sorry for being unclear. You don't interrupt the read as such. You interrupt the select.

The usual trick on POSIX is to use a self-pipe, since select()/epoll() only work on file descriptors and not, say, pthread primitives. Windows is slightly better here: WaitForMultipleObjects supports waiting on any primitive that supports blocking, so you wait on the socket + on an event object, and signaling the event object will unblock the wait. Windows also has completion ports, and the APIs are generally more extensive (not a fan of Windows, but they got this part very right).

I do understand why Go is the way it is. But it's important to recognize that it's a compromise in design that inherently reduces your flexibility — such as in this particular case. I don't think there's anything technically preventing Go from supporting non-blocking I/O, though.

Channels and FDs/sockets are both conceptually multi-valued; what did you mean by that? One major difference is that reads can fail with an error, and channel reads can't.

Edit: Also, I didn't mean that select{} on a file descriptor ought to actually return data. It would be more appropriate for it to yield a true/false value to signal that the FD has data, so you'd do "case <-fd: fd.Read(bufSize)".
Yeah, I wish they gave me the freedom to publish as well. Id love to be able to have my own "channel" as easy as it is having a facebook page. The story is too limiting.

Yeah, I was confused by that. Isn't AVR already RISC? It seems the "game changing" element here is its openness, not its architecture.
I recently bought a new Yubikey 4 Nano, and it came with a USB-C adapter that holds on very nicely (as in, the adapter hasn't accidentally come off the Yubikey while in my pocket). It's a good choice if you need to use your Yubikey with any non-USB-C devices.
I use the standard every-day definition of "architecture". You're right about JSON and SPAs really catching on finally. That's why I shared this post, and to help people out who've been brainwashed into thinking SPAs are bad. I hope some people also see the code and find out how awesome TypeScript is. Also the JCR.

Thats because they are trying way too hard to be edgy and "young". Like MTV these days.

When there's lots of people on your FB, it's mostly noise and very little signal. When there's few (as mine is now), you realize there's still very little signal. I could never get over the fact that, IMO, broadcasting on a social network isn't meaningful. This is the main reason why I really like dedicated one-on-one messaging (ex, WhatsApp) but pretty much find FB proper useless in 9/10 cases (Events being the only nice aspect). That being said, I hold out little hope that FB will finally die.
Sorry, yes I was using NPAPI as a handwaving shorthand for both NPAPI and binary XPCOM to save time. I appreciate the extra technical detail, though. (Because technically correct is the best kind of correct.)

Don't bother bending over backwards to cater to a sophisticated audience when the idiot demographic is what you're going to end up with in the end anyhow. They don't need a bunch of people saying 'Snapchat was alright for a while, now it's overrun with crap ads and shit content so I abandoned the platform.'

I appreciate their honesty, I'll never feel betrayed by them because they designed the UI to be hostile to anyone with discriminating preferences from the getgo. I'm not going to wake up one morning to discover the New York Times has suddenly become the Weekly World News.

Because they'd like a similar system to take care of them in their old age, same as if they'd been born here? Why are you adding race into it as if the economic factor weren't the primary driver? If participants in the system have access to the benefits, in the future, why should they care about ethnic disparities between the current workforce and the cohort of retired people?

Your argument is that people of differing ethnic identity cam't have or perceive common or mutual economic interests.

There is another issue besides the labor/wage effect on price, that aggregate demand is increased and therefore at current prices aggregate supply does not meet demand. Aggregate price levels should increase (keeping it at econ 101 since we could speculate about investment at this point).

edit: consumption increases despite the distribution being balanced since it's assumed that the transfer is from a minority of tax payers with significant income/assets to a majority that sees a substantial increase to their minimum guaranteed cash flow.

> Both actions are done with the stated intent of costing the target money.

No it doesn't, it is to obfuscate the results about your interest and make the information they sell about you - useless. They are not giving me any money so I have no obligation to provide truthful ad clicks either.

> (in a manner intended to bring the system down) but so do many DDoS attacks...

You can't be serious, it's not comparable to DDoS attacks. It is just obfuscation, pure and simple. It is not in any way unethical either, digital surveillance that ad companies practice is on the other hand very much unethical. When I visit one website, why should dozens of third parties be able to sella and that information? When did they ask my consent? The only way to make that info useless is to have automated add-on like this, if the majority would use it, we wouldn't have as big problems of ad networks spreading malware and proving government agencies with surveillance information.
It's fine for me, but I'm used to high density screens. For the longest time, I was using 1680x1050 15" laptop screens at 1:1 (before 1080p became common).

Looking at the HN site, which has pretty small text to start with, I'm perfectly fine reading the text on the screen. If the text is too small, zooming once or twice usually fixes it.

I originally thought 40 or 32 would be the ideal size, but got tired of waiting for the models to come out.

I went into a store and checked out the 28" 4K monitors (which were pretty common), but I wanted IPS, so I ended up with the 27" Dell IPS, which got good reviews and not that much denser than the 28s (for me).

I actually am glad that I did not go 32 or larger because I got acclimated to the added real estate very quickly and wanted more. My desk handles two side by side 27s in landscape. I guess I could have went with two portrait 32s but I definitely could not fit in dual 40s.

I don't know if I can handle four monitors (more head turning than I have now), but I've got some mini monitors in addition to my two main ones, and I still feel at times that I don't have enough screen real estate when I'm multitasking.
Practically speaking, I've been using a yubikey plugged permanently into my laptop for many years, and it works fine. I use it to authenticate to my work VPN (with a password as second factor).

The only downsides are: one fewer USB port, and the green light on the yubikey which is permanently lit.

Try quality LEDs suggests that there are reputable manufacturers of LED products. Last time I tried Philips Greenpower, they said "40W!" yet the Kill-a-watt showed ~30w and it was nowhere near as bright as an 18w unit some cheapo Chinese maker had. General Electric markets a 7w UV LED - there's one 1W UV LED, and four 1.5W white LEDs, behind a fake woods glass. Yet neither the bulb nor packaging makes note of the white LEDs. It instead says directly on the bulb "395nm UV Light" as if that were all it emitted.

Quality certainly doesn't mean Brand-name in this day and age of unscrupulous law-buying companies.
Is this inherent in Go's concurrency model or just a limitation of the standard library? Couldn't the standard library provide a function that takes a buffer pool as an argument instead of a buffer?
Three years ago, in college Snapchat was hugely popular. Three years later, today, it is still hugely popular.

Of course, if you only heard about it on HN/tech sites, you might think Snapchat is a recently popular phenomenon.

Dependency ratios (the number of workers compared to the number of people dependent on workers) may actually be lower than they were in the 60s simply because fewer people are having children.

Even if that weren't true, the idea that we have to keep putting the age up is predicated upon productivity remaining static.

Productivity has gone up consistently and will likely continue to go up.

Curiously some people are breathlessly optimistic about automation when it's a convenient scapegoat for high unemployment but immediately lose all faith in it when it comes to social security projections. These people probably don't have our best interests at heart.
Totally agree. Plant handles many complexities quite nicely, despite the poor tools available to render the visualization.
I don't think most people understand how social security works. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_(United_States...

SS is not quite a pension fund, but it is also certainly _not_ a "tax on income like any other". The funds taken all go to directly to the SSA fund, they aren't available for general use like basic income tax is. For another difference, it is payroll tax, so if you don't have income from wages (e.g., all income is through interest and dividends) there is no SS tax at all.

Importantly, although it's possible that the fund could become exhausted if payments aren't reduced (as baby boomers age and the elderly grow to far outnumber the young), the size of payments would be reduced far before that point. Also, since there will always be at least some young people paying into SS, even if the fund itself was basically exhausted there would still be a continuous stream of incoming payments to distribute out to the elderly, just much reduced from the current size of outgoing payments.

For what appears to be such a well researched article, the author completely gets the theology of Methodists and Baptists wrong. Not only does he do a poor job of trying to explain Arminianism, and he associates it with Baptists, which it isn't, but he says the Baptists and Methodists originated as part of the Second Great Awakening they both predate it by a century or more. Also I have never even heard of "perfectionism" and a quick google/wikipedia of it turns up no reference other then to this specific cult. As a clarification Puritan and Calvinist theology would hold to the "sainthood of the believer" which appears to be identical to the idea of Perfectionism raised in this article.
An additional problem is a vicious circle: when there are first signs of burnout, even if you give 110%, you're just at your "normal" 50% or less.

I'm through some kind of burn-out experience and I realize it's really important to make myself feel good and that that is just fine. When I'm overworked I explain that I have limited time and stop working. When colleagues flood me with issues and problems I eventually stop talking to them if that's the only way.
Ok, I was not aware that there has been a lot of progress on reducing transport losses in the electricity grid over the last decades. Thanks for the heads up! But even taking this into account area efficiency of direct sunlight compared to artificial light still differs significantly (25% * 95% * 50% = 12%).

Plants actually _do_ use the green light of the spectrum, just not as much, thus leaves appear in green color. How high would you estimate the efficiency gain by using a better spectrum? My guess would be that this gain would be below 50%. So area efficiency of artificial light would still be below 20%. And the calculation has been made "best case". 25% photovoltaic efficiency are lab figures for the very best cells possible. Installed base is lower still, monocrystallin cells 20 - 22 %, polycrystallin 15 - 20 %.
Like it or not, this stuff is what normal people like to read though.

Redux saga is so elegant it makes me want to cry - but you have to understand generators first, as the author states. Once you get that part, then there's really no going back. Much simpler (and far lighter) than redux-observable.
It certainly worked for me. Linux ran SNES9x, Quake, and UltraHLE faster than Windows 95/98. I even got better pings. I stopped doing this around the time Windows 2000 came out.
It really is nothing like fashion.

As mentioned already the quality of the construction and materials is markedly different when you go up the price range. But also the fit and style changes. Mass market clothing targets those with an average body shape whereas in the upmarket stores it will target those with a more model style shape i.e. thinner and taller. For example 99.99% of Americans would simply never fit in the Hedi Slimane era of Saint Laurent clothes. Also the styles such as those from Alexander McQueen are more adventurous which most people would feel uncomfortable wearing.

Wine is experienced the same regardless of age, gender, social class, body shape etc. And you don't feel like an idiot when you are drinking an expensive bottle.

GE has been busted by myself falsely advertising their UV LED bulbs. In fact, I'm currently looking for more people that bought these A19-style UV Black Light bulbs from GE so we can start a class-action suit for false advertising and unfair competition.

In short, I wouldn't trust GE for LEDs. In fact, I'm so disillusioned with almost every company out there (Cree, Philips, GE, Sylvania) that I've simply gone back to building my own lights for my specific purposes. I can't trust any of these companies to be accurate or truthful in their marketing.
