Any advice when saving new DB records ? We usually return the new ID in our return result, but it is not available when using async/await. Is it possible to send a second result with the ID and how does one create a listener for the second result in Javascript ?

Edit: Because we use async HTTP requests, we aren't blocking the UI. On further thought, the problem I described is not a good use case for async/await.

What I want that Plex doesn't already to is to be able to define TV-like channels.

I have 6 Resident Evil movies or 100 episodes of Futurama and I want them to play in a loop on their respective channels, and when I tune in whichever one happens to be "on" is what I watch, even though it's the middle of an episode/movie. DVR-like functionality where I could "rewind" back to the start of a 30-minute buffer would be good. Pandora-like skipping would be good. But those features wouldn't be essential, compared to creating the programming grid.

I still want what Plex does and what Streama does, to navigate to a specific movie or episode and start it manually. Sometimes I watch media because I want to watch one specific thing. But often I just want my favorite media on in the background while I work or do other things. I don't want to navigate through a library of 200+ titles to pick just the right one or a pseudo-"random" one.

Is there anything that would let me do this?
Yes. I think the skill of writing down exactly what you mean is common to both code and prose - in particular, the kind of careful thought required to figure out what you're trying to say, well before you start working out how to say it.
No. Their rendering engine is pure Blink. All browsers' user agent's contain mentions of more or less every browser that ever existed for historical compatibility reasons.
People should stop glorifying "capitalism" and instead be for "competitive market economy". We see more and more that capitalism just leads to incumbents accumulating mote and more power and trying to suppress competition. Unfortunately the Republicans talk a good game but in the end they will almost never do anything that offends their capitalists.

> simple ISA designs, such as ARM or RISC-V, preferably in a many-core design

There are several of these already (e.g. Tilera) which haven't really taken off outside of those marketed as "graphics cards". The main problem is that memory bandwidth is now the real bottleneck for real workloads.
This is great news. However, anyone who's used Piazza (the main "classroom" tool for OMSCS) knows that it's hardly ideal. I think a better collaboration/discussion tool is imperative to making the experience better for the "average" student.

Sure the top students in the program are going to do well, by definition, but there are plenty of more "middling" people like myself that can only be brought up to the next level with proper discussion/interaction with classmates. From my experience even PHPbb would be a more effective tool than Piazza.

---

Suggestions (if Piazza folks are reading):

1. Allow one to delete follow-ups.

2. Allow students to create private "study group"-like
threads that aren't in the main feed.

3. Make it easier to upload pictures and other content.

4. Make things live. Normally this wouldn't be necessary, but anyone in the program knows many students post the same thing at the same time as a response to an event (like an email). By doing this you prevent redundant threads from being created.

5. Use some sort of up/down voting system that way the community can self-regulate.

There are plenty more things I'd improve, but for the sake of brevity those are some I just came up with on the spot.

An employer could simply notice that your location and your school are in different places. However, IMO it's more impressive to have been working a full time job and doing a degree than the opposite.
Can you file a bug on this with the URL causing the problem? The tab not loading fully isn't necessarily our fault, but of course it shouldn't use 100% while doing that.

Until we are surrounded by recording devices that have autoencoder-based speaker fingerprinting and audio transcription, combined with some NLP to make sure that if you say "Hello, I'm Tom Walker", it'll remember and fill that in in the transcriptions. Instead of having vague videos and maybe some confusing sounds that can be deciphered by the police if there's enough reason to put in the effort and personnel we'll now have direct audio transcriptions of everything we say and do everywhere available to a number of companies.

And the worst part of it is. This is useful. For security, for remembering things, for automated secretary, for ... People will want this, and the features it can bring, so it'll happen, and privacy will be eroded until it's entirely gone.
I would be with libertarians if they didn't go to the extreme of wanting no regulations. There should be regulations for the environment and for creating fair market conditions. Healthbcare should be regulated in some way to ensure accessibility.

I wonder what OSX-specific software keeps professionals on machines that they feel are underpowered, even if it's a rather mighty Mac Pro?

All the graphics and video editing suites, AFAICT, are now also available for Windows, too. For audio editing one probably does not need two video cards.

So, what's your use case? Just curious.
With good unit tests, do I also need acceptance tests?
Real Mac Pro would be an aluminum "cheese grater" large quiet box that sits under the desk that I never see or hear unless I want to upgrade something.

The trashcan is at most Mac Mini Pro. Having thousand cables and external boxes sitting on your desk to expand it is not practical nor elegant, and gets out of date pretty fast. And quite frankly it's ugly as well.
I like the size of this. The expandability of the machine is nice considering the current lack of refresh on current apple desktop hardware. I'm not holding my breath though.

I have the old mac-pro (cheese grater), and it was remarkably expandable (and easy to do so). Its remarkably heavy (theft deterrent).

I doubt they pull them from random internet sources, because they do not have the rights to them. The word/number challenges come from Google projects (initially document scans, now a lot of Google Streetview), I assume the photos of animals etc come either from dedicated training data sets or from users of other Google services, where the ToS give Google the rights to use them.

Nah... I live in China, and have just graduated from high school. There isn't a single person who doesn't know about the 64 protest.

Having lived on both sides of the fence, I'd say work and PhD are different levels of poorly defined. Poorly defined goals a manager imposes on you are one thing. At least you don't have to make them up. Poorly defined goals you impose on yourself (based on funding and advisor constraints) are another thing. You can make the self-direction work for you, or you can drown in your own creativity.
This is drastically over-simplified, but in short, the Mill is a sort of middle-ground between superscalar implementations (x86, ARM) and VLIW (Itanium, DSPs).

Superscalars leave a lot of the optimization process to complexity in the hardware. This is seen in stuff like the out-of-order scheduling and large cache hierarchies. In one of the Mill talks, it's guesstimated that almost 90% of the circuitry is dedicated to simply moving data around, as opposed to actually doing any work on that data.

VLIWs take the opposite extreme, leaving the complexity of optimization to the compiler. History has shown so far though, that many computing problems are (again oversimplified) too conditionals-heavy to really benefit from VLIW, and end up running much more slowly.

So the Mill is a bet that they can get more benefits from each approach without the major draw-backs of each. This isn't really ground Intel could simply "move into" without half a decade plus of work, and even then, they'd be cannibalizing their x86 ecosystem, which is not a risk most entrenched corporations are fond of.
Ah, good catch. I believe the remainder of the SH4 patents expire this year, but the SH2 patents are all in the clear. And the 64-bit J-core will be using a different design than the SH5, so those aren't relevant. I wonder exactly what said patents cover aside from things like encoding etc...
I agree, bash is not that enjoyable. Not only that, but the standard binaries in Unix tend to have non-consistent arguments and in general seem like a clusterf--k to me. I know, it's my knowledge and my fault, but it doesn't mean i have to think they're somehow elegant in UX, it's terrible, imo.

With that said, i still prefer tools like Sup that just stick to bash & unix. As much as i hate bash & unix, not using it requires learning yet another API that probably will end up with either missing edge cases, or complexity due to edge cases. Unix is the way it is because the "problem" is complex, not because the devs involved were incompetent. An abstraction ontop of Unix is just another API, for me at least.

"When I join an IRC channel, every other user sees "wallacoloo has joined" and I've never heard anyone complain about that."

I'm okay with Steam saying "Soandso has logged on" but not "Soandso has moved their mouse 400 pixels, double left clicked, and is starting new software... stay tuned!"

"Isn't the whole point of friending people on Steam so that they can play games with you?"

The whole point of steam is a distribution platform. It has a defacto monopoly on computer gaming with some 3/4 of the entire market through the platform.

Sure, I play the occasional multiplayer game, but the other 80% of my behavior doesn't need to be publically broadcast against my will at all times.

It's ridiculous: I have to click "appear offline" then log into the Steam Chat website just to play a game and not have my steam account announce that to everyone I know. Sometimes you just don't want to push notify everyone you know about your every behavior.

Also -- why be friends on steam? "Dude you didn't friend me yet" "Dude i sent u my info a week ago" "Dude i thought you said you wanted to friend me" "Dude" "dude"

You have to friend people or they get offended. Social networks and psychology man. I just don't want a f'n social network in my video game launcher. Crazy. Not every single computer endpoint has to be a social network.
I think you're close, but still misguided. The issue isn't so much critical thinking (though that is a part of it) but a mismatch in baseline assumptions. Right makes might versus Might makes right, belief in the golden rule (duoaywhtduy or he who has the gold, makes the rules), the glass is half empty versus half full, etc. Unless you share the answers to these assumptions, you can't have a common dialogue.

I mean, you can argue facts all day long but if someone believes that having a bigger gun makes them right -- what's the point? You really think Kim Jong-un is going to listen to reason when he has nukes?
No they didn't use to get punished anymore than they do today and I would urge you to find any base for that claim.

Windows and OSX are pushed to consumers. Untill someone starts bundling Linux with matched hardware and markets it widely to endusers Linux will always remain a pull model. End users come to it, out of curiosity, ideology and the things it's good at - programming and systems related needs.

Its only because a lot of general use case computing is becoming browser specific and Linux desktops have made massive strides in usability that the general use case even becomes a possibility but the push factor still remains.

Poeple who are not computer centric will use what comes to them and nearly impossible to imagine a scenario where they reach to install another OS. Even developers are often not systems folks, they know how to get their programming environment going and little beyond that.

The kind of knowledge you need to really manage an OS from installing, hardware, networking, storage is specialized and unless is designed in by hardware and software vendors with support and training be it Linux, Windows or OSX becomes an uphill battle. Possible but time consuming. This knowledge is held by people who are paid to know it or are in technology software industry and unlikely to interest people who just want to use stuff and not gain an indepth knowledge of it.
I think what comes across as a negative attitude might be mostly healthy skepticism. I think engineering-minded people all pretty much hate solving the same problem any more times than is absolutely necessary. New products are therefore always met with the questions of, "What does this add?", "Is it redundant?", "Why is the necessary?". If it can stand up to this scrutiny, then it deserves its place/seen as worth the effort.
Eternal or until Internet is correctly reclassified as a public utility like roads, bridges, and other vital infrastructure.

Then the government can pick up responsibility for the last mile, and you can buy internet service from one of a two dozen different providers (who utilise and pay rent on the government's last mile cabling).

That's where we'll wind up eventually. Government will put fiber into every home, then cable companies and internet companies will use that fiber and pay a fee to the government while charging end users.

> It was not the political elite calling Obama a Muslim, it was the fringe.

It included Trump. For years.

> In this case the official opposition is making claims and not backed up by any real evidence. Just claims made by anonymous sources.

The document you're referring was compiled during the Republican primary and election. It wasn't compiled after he was elected. It being finally leaked because it's circulated for months with no one willing to print it is evidence against an elite conspiracy against Trump, not for.

> Without any real evidence it's really a conspiracy theory, nothing more.

No one is arguing otherwise.

> Anyone has a good reason not to release private documents like your tax returns if you are doing business. It could be used by numerous sources to attack you. You don't want to open yourself up to that kind of liability, ever.

Though I appreciate you not using Trump's official line of being audited by the IRS prohibiting him from releasing his tax returns, this claim is curious because other nominees running for president have all released their tax returns, many of them also businessmen.
> You are not contradicting my point. He is still going to jail.

Israel undeniably has a better and more principled legal system than whatever the Palestinians have under the occupation. It's admirable that they found this guy guilty in the face of public opinion.

Insofar as your "mural paintings" statement spoke to the cultural differences, I think it's important (and unbelievably sad) to note that the difference when it comes to acceptance of bloody murder is just a matter of degree. All the parties involved have been degraded by this conflict.

Oh, it will play them just fine, but good luck finding the video you're looking for when the keyword starts at the 50th character in the filename.

"Oh, that's such an edge case" - well, sure, but it is also completely not difficult to implement:

a) wildcard search on filenames

b) add a list mode that shows the complete filename, rather than having to sit and watch it scroll (say you've got 50 videos number #1 thru #50 and you want to play #39 - have fun with that)

That was the purpose of Chrome, I believe, to monopolize the browser market and make it very expensive for others to compete and innovate google's business model out of existence.
Is there a measurable increase in right-wing thought in public in Silicon Valley?

Donations, particularly PAC donations, are too tied up in tactical considerations to be evidence, in my opinion.
I think the difficulty the parent poster mentions is really meant to be read as:

"Ability to work with poorly defined goals AND almost no one knows about this subject you are discovering".

So of course you could start a new Web App for a customer and have poorly defined goals (good luck with that!), but the problems you might encounter have solutions already fleshed out by millions of other Web App devs (Stack Overflow). Something tells me undergoing a PhD is not quite the same, as the 'resources' in this context are a few orders of magnitude scarcer, and the subject matter a few orders of magnitude more complex ...

(I am not a PhD, please forgive me if this is wrong)

Why not picorv32? Size-optimized, open licensed (no 64-bit, but that's where you could come in and be a star!) Clifford Wolf, the author, also wrote Yosys and Icestorm, which you can use to synthesize picorv32 for the iCE40 FPGAs with a fully open source HDL toolchain. It's really nice and usable!

Clifford has also been doing a lot of cool work adding SMT-based verification tech for synthesis via Yosys, and even started working on a verification bench for RISC-V implementations: https://github.com/cliffordwolf/riscv-formal - he's also very nice and approachable IMO. I'm sure he'd appreciate some extra help.

Sounds like exactly what you want, perhaps.
I've been critical of AMP in some previous posts, but an AMP like infrastructure has the impressive advantage of trying out such optimizations and solutions, without a large affect on the users.
