I've talked a little bit with some engineers at Qualcomm who worked on projects like this. My impression was that they make a lot of compromises when they optimize a computer vision algorithm for their hardware which slightly alters the result, but can run extremely fast with comparable performance. It's likely they're doing something similar here, which might explain the difference in confidences, but I highly doubt that it objectively classifies images better than the one running on the CPU. If anything the better performance is an illusion just because the model running on the DSP reacts more quickly.
Regulating the supply so that it's not a deflationary currency would solve some of Bitcoin's volatility issues.

You can counter by saying, "It's not designed that way" but Bitcoin is designed to accept whatever forks a concensus of miners accept, so it is possible.
Great point about it being not realistic, although I think it is no doubt this is a game, so it promotes people to go wild in the virtual world. I rarely hear people say GTA brings realism, instead it is a virtual world where players can do things they can't do in real life.
I suggest a title change from "How do you develop a userbase for your side projects?" to something like "How have you developed a userbase for your side projects?" or "How did you develop the userbase for your side projects?".
I tried Linux back in the Win 98 days. I don't remember which distro. I went back to Windows because the X server crashed at least once a day. Windows was much more stable for me.
PC laptops have often had better keyboards than Macs (e.g. Thinkpads), so I and many others would disagree with you there.

The trackpad situation is a legitimate gripe, but this is hopefully improving with Microsofts Precision Trackpad standard.

The big advantage of stepping outside the Apple garden into the wider world is choice. You have choices like matte screens, 17" screens, up to 64GB RAM, hotswap batteries, upgradable components, ARM chips, Xeon chips etc etc

Even the current Macbook Pros (high spec Airs) have had equivalents available in the PC world for a while, e.g the X1 Carbon, which is being upgraded to KabyLake soon, while Apple have only just released their Skylake machines.
i think it is in your head, it was not easy, and most of the apps that you needed would not work there, i even had a lindows and that had the same problems,
webapps where nonexistend, and while sure you could maybe find a decent replacement for one app you could not for others. everything was hacky, and there is no chance in hell that average person would run this.

and then xp came and it was the better in in everything from 98/ME.
Sure, but they're referencing 'page not found' pages as 404 pages, like most people do. I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of sites returned the wrong status codes for some pages.
The game itself looks pretty nice actually, but there's a whole lot of visual clutter going on on the website - my eyes are immediately drawn to the coloured blocks in the background, which are visually distracting (even though they're practically the 'protagonists' of your game).

I'll have to download it to know if it's fun, but it's visually appealing enough for me to give it a try.

And hey, the app doesn't need any special permissions, big plus!
A perfect resume looks exactly like the resume of the person that is doing the hiring. So they would go like "Aha... aha... you're hired!"
I think this may be because:

- Doing adaptive bitrate like YouTube does means doing many transcodes.

- Transcoding is either extremely CPU intensive, bandwidth heavy or low quality.

- Transcoding in realtime requires further compromise on the above, to the point where distributing the transcode over multiple machines is necessary.

- There doesn't seem to be an agreed upon, browser supported protocol for live DASH. Static is easy enough but live is more difficult, especially when you add seeking, pausing etc.

- The above means you need both a backend and a frontend system.

- Running a system like this is very expensive. The entities interested in running it and able to do so are usually willing to pay for it.

All this said, Emby[0] can stream a transcode and perhaps its stack would be a good place to start.

CD itself posits that a lot of what was previously assumed to be a necessary part of large scale software delivery is just cargo culting that gets in the way.
Software development is about communication. Quality is about discipline. So yes humans are imperfect, but SemVer works better than anything else i have encountered so far...

Why is this required? It's not like people had trouble with the command line in the MS-DOS days. Personally I think people being afraid of the command line is just a matter of cultural dogma, not the command line being actually difficult.

Your point is legitimate. However, if the Chinese trading volume (buys) was primarily caused by money flowing out of the country, we would see a correspondingly high trading volume overseas (sells). But we don't.
I bought mine less than a year ago. The main compartment is still curved, I can imagine the 24l version to be too small. Any laptop larger than 12" might get an issue also in the 26l version.

I have a similar experience with water bottles: a typical 1 litre aluminium bottle (e.g. Sigg) hardly fits in the side pocket, so it's always a struggle to squeeze it. Once it's in the pocket, though, the risk of falling out is nil :)
I don't see an advantage over SemVer- SemVer is an accepted standard while this is not and you still have the human error component arguably beeing the weak spot for SemVer. And to be honest: this is by no means simpler than SemVer.

It's not "just an opinion." It's an established best practice which you will hear from anyone involved in hiring at American companies.

Lots of people think they're special snowflakes. They're not.

If you're incapable of fitting your experience into 1 page (when that's the prevailing standard), it makes me seriously question your critical thinking skills. It got to the point where I would automatically toss out any resume longer than 1 page.
It's a beautiful image, I hope it's not an illustration.
Sure! They have a neural net that they pre-trained for image recognition as a demo. They ran it on the mobile device both times -- no cloud involved -- but the one on the left is running on the CPU, while the one on the right is running on a DSP located on the same chip. The DSP is specialized for workloads that have very regular control flow and involve a lot of fixed-point arithmetic. Running the neural network is such a workload, so they get impressive speed and power improvements by using the DSP instead of the CPU.

A few years before it was open-sourced, I became interested in 3D modeling, using 3D Studio Max at school. When I looked for free-ish software, I found Blender. It had about 1/10 of the options back then, and a bunch of features were locked up behind a license key, but it was small enough to fit on a floppy. So I downloaded it at school, took it home...and was flummoxed without any access to tutorials. I got about as far as this tutorial did through experimentation.

A few years later, I picked it up again when I had a more convenient internet connection. Learning it through tutorials was a lot like learning a new programming language. Find some that cover the basic interface, then the intermediate interface, then stumble through the advanced tuts for whichever feature you think would be useful to know how to use.

It's a great piece of software, and it feels nice to use once you've developed the muscle memory. The comparison to vim is somewhat apt, but that only really hit me when someone else mentioned it in a post a few months ago.
I love openscad, and you can use it to make some fairly complex things if you dig into its nooks and crannies. I love the ability to parametrically define many of the objects I'm interested in printing.
About the cost of calling an async function synchronously:

You had a call to read(). Now you have a thread, an event loop, a pooling mechanism, and a synchronization with the thread. That's much more system calls and cpu cycles, for an synchronous async read()
A CV is not a resume and mistaking the two is a fatal mistake that I see far too frequently. You might just be using it as shorthand, but I've seen far too many friends who thought sending in their 5-page CV for industry job applications was normal.
> Then they introduced iCloud into TextEditor and instead of starting it and you could instantly write, which I used often to take notes, you had to create a file first, so every time this one extra step which I hated.

What is it with MacOS and this workflow? It's annoying enough to make me want to buy Office just so I can open an app and fiddle before I decide if and where I want to save things. Why does everything have to be in a concrete location in the filesystem before I can do anything in the office apps? I do think they fixed this for textedit though so that's nice, that'd have been annoying.
One of the limitations of GTA that I've found most frustrating is that the game is seemingly programmed to prefer red lights in the streets, I think this is to force you to slow down a bit and let the loading occur more seamlessly, but it's still annoying to just run into traffic jam after traffic jam.
Men in suits also correct damage in Westworld. Sorry, I am obsessed by this new series! :D
I don't see much of substance to discuss, as I mentioned in reply to your first, similar post.

I think Thiel has bad politics, uninteresting investment theses, and a knack for bad macro- timing. I've devoted too much time to him this evening already. So I don't think you and I have much common ground to discuss, regardless of forum.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips ship with a Hexagon DSP core, which is optimized for high-throughput numerical calculations -- not the branch heavy code you'll see in most general-purpose applications.

TensorFlow does lots of matrix multiplies. The Hexagon chip can do 8 multiplies each cycle, and runs multiple threads on each core. The benchmark isn't clear, but it's likely that _one_ Hexagon instruction can replace multiple normal ARM instructions for the inner loop.

You can see some more on how the Hexagon DSP works here: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~danav/pubs/qcom/hexagon_hotchips20...
Heh. I always went with one to two pages. And then worked on getting a US visa. And was, uh, strongly suggested to write a five to six page CV. Felt quite wrong.

I daresay the only role of your resume should be to convince someone to click on a link that shows the amazing work you've done. Nothing you write is going to mean anything, comparatively.
I don't think anyone just randomly shows up at the voting booth on the (guessing here) 1st Tuesday of the month in election years. I suspect virtually everyone knows about the exact date due to various forms of publicity. Especially when you consider the many different dates for many different kinds of elections.

That said, EVERY interest group is going to favor or disfavor any particular new solution due to perceived advantages of drawbacks to their cause, preventing any progress whatsoever.

Have you tried elementaryOS? It's very inspired by macOS and us basically a design first distro with Ubuntu upstream. I had betas on an old rubbish laptop and it was never as stable or fast as Ubuntu, but I always saw praise about it and the design is nice.
I apologize for misunderstanding you, but your words still look ugly to me.

If you really care so much about what Peter thinks, what exactly are you accusing him of with the first question? How are you so sure of his motivations? That seems offensive coming from anyone. Happy to discuss in email.
IIRC, a read() in Go is just a plain synchronous read() under the hood. They just let an other coroutines execute during the syscall.
> my résumé

Parle Français?

Non?

Then leave the accents off: The English word is resume.

This one bugs a lot of people and the people it doesn't bother are fine with "resume"

> more than one page is fine, but I get that it's an opinion

The reason why I don't usually hire people with three page resumes is because it usually means they have trouble getting to the point.

And yet: If you really can't tell the story of you and the value you can bring to a potential customer in two pages, then by all means use another page, just understand that most people can give that kind of summary of themselves so it might be worth thinking about exactly why you think you can't.

A resume for a developer just needs to get you into the hiring process and provide others with some things to talk about. It doesn't need to tell your entire story, so you might try to have multiple resumes for different kinds of companies instead of a long resume with something for everyone.
> WTF do I put on my resume?

Start by changing that to "What do I put on my resume?".

Your resume does not end at the bottom of an A4 or Letter page. Your resume includes how you present yourself, and ill-placed vulgarities are far more telling than "HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP" are on a few lines of ink.
SemVer has nothing to do with CD. It's for package management. With a package or lib I don't need (multiple) daily increments as I would not update a lib I use that frequently.
It depends on the developers mate, properly experienced ones are often up to the task, while the latest fad chasing buzzword inducing cool kids probably aren't .. it's no coincidence they are the demographic that put Mongo on the map :)
I'm a huge fan of elementary OS (https://elementary.io/).

It's based on Ubuntu, so you have all of the normal resources that come with one of the most popular distros, but I think elementary is much sleeker.

I wanted something that I wouldn't hate to look at, but didn't have to spend a lot of time configuring to get there. I definitely found that in elementary OS, and I've been a happy user for around 2 years now.
It's an established best practice which you will hear from anyone involved in hiring at American companies

No, it's really not. I've been involved in hiring at multiple American companies. One page is not important. No more pages than you need to highlight your highly impactful experiences is much better advice.

If you're incapable of fitting your experience into 1 page (when that's the prevailing standard), it makes me seriously question your critical thinking skills

You are a special snowflake.
My apologies if I was misrepresenting your position. I was basing my take on these words:

> If you think someone needs a presidential pardon, just back up and think "which law is horrible and unjust and must be reformed." If not the law maybe the courts. Pardon at best is a fig leaf over a gaping wound.

Maybe you don't like to put it this bluntly, but it seems pretty clear that you were saying "pardoning is never justified, just reform the legal system instead." I saw no consideration in any of your statements for the possibility that some of these unfortunate souls could get some relief in the meantime while the long, hard, and uncertain work of reform is carried out. No, that would be "at best a fig leaf", meaning something covers up a dirty secret, alleviating shame and embarrassment.

If you feel I'm misrepresenting your original argument, I'm willing to listen to an alternative explanation of what you meant. But until one is offered, I stand by what I said. It was a reasonable interpretation of your words as you wrote them.

By the way, you keep describing this as the President "being able to arbitrarily decide that the rule of law does not apply to a particular person". This is an effective rhetorical technique because it conjures up images of corrupt witch hunts, political retribution, secret prisons, and other such nightmarish scenarios encountered in totalitarian distopias. You're leaving out the fact that the politician can only decide this in one direction - toward innocence. It can't be used to punish anybody. It can only be used to delight them. I consider this an example of the Noncentral Fallacy[0].

> Maybe one day you'll see why it matters.

Maybe, rather than putting on an air of dismissive superiority and suggesting that I'm just not wise and experienced enough to see the world the way it really is, you could provide an actual example of how it could matter to me in a negative way.

That might depend on the person doing the interview, and perhaps how you put it on your CV. If you list some hobbies on your CV, and you put something akin to "Maintaining youtube channel" or "Writing tutorials" then I would know that you seem to have some passion for the field outside of work.

I am not saying that everyone _needs_ to do something related to programming in their free time, after all it is their choice if they do or not and they can be great engineers without doing so. Yet for me, it shows at least an interest or a passion.

Furthermore what you are doing is communicating ideas about software development. That's a plus in my book as well, as communicating ideas clearly is important. It'd also show you are willing to teach coworkers in a positive way.

But it might depend on the interviewer.

Are they really that different use cases? Only rust is aimed at systems programming, but it seems like it could fill the application programming role quite well, where it is competing with go.

Native Apps vs. Cross Platform vs. React Native?
Many of my clients ask the difference between these.

I tell them:
Native apps are high end, work smoothly and have the best performance. Cross-platform apps are cheap to get done and have a single code-base.
React native also requires multiple code-bases as I've explored.

So what are top 4 to 5 points on which you justify the use of one one technology over other?
Actually cmd.exe isn't the problem. conhost.exe is. Whatever you run on windows CLI, be it CMD, Powershell or BASH, it runs on conhost.exe. Even ConEmu and Console2 are just wrappers around it.

If government surveillance is an commonly emerging property of modern governments, it could be said that doing it well instead of poorly may allow us to restrict its scope more. Thus better searching of the already never erasable data is better than gathering more data and searching it more poorly.
