Resell System76 (or Dell) laptops and offer add on tech support or training (in Italian). I have a feeling reselling and offering add on services will be more profitable and easier (and would better server Linux adoption in Italy).

One person was complaining about custom duties and warranty issues in Europe.

As I wrote in another comment System76 does little things such as flash custom firmware and bios to make the computer more Linux friendly.
By the time you have implemented enough silicon for floating point addition and multiplication, the amount of extra transistors you would need to special case the compare operator's zero case is realtivily tiny.

The same can not be said for an interger alu (especially one without hardware multipliers or even arbitrary bit shifts), where twos complement representation can save a much larger percentage of silicon.

I'm already using and it works really nice, also submitted a pull request too. But one thing I've always looked for in formatters is still missing here, it's the ability to format the JSX in React.

It would be nice if the JSX in React's render could be formatted nicely because a lot of times the code get's so long that formatting and indenting becomes inaccurate.
Good for him. I personally got to work with Daniel in the past (Apple) and I must say that it was not a great experience. I know it's never easy for acqui-hires to get into the company culture and try to make the transition happen smoothly... but in his case it was more of an attitude and personality clash.
He did get promoted though so I'm sure despite his attitude, he had the good habit to get stuff done!

Shitty C code: the binary printing function is needlessly complicated.

Although a different take on it is provided by [1], which suggests that the marshmallow test is not always testing for the ability to defer reward, but for the ability/will to obey instructions/please authority figures. I consider the post well worth reading.

He can be innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of the state

Why? That's just another of those legal protections, like the 4th Amendment, which you don't seem to care much about.

In this article [1] it says "prosecutors said", is that a good enough source? If a fact is not proven in a laboratory setting and peer reviewed do you disbelieve it?

If a fact is claimed by the cops when they are trying to convince someone based on nothing but a few deleted files, I sure as hell don't take it as a matter of faith. Cops and prosecutors lie all the time, especially to the press.

In fact, notice how they don't claim the girls in the phone pictures are underaged? For all we know, the guy simply likes to download perfectly legal pictures of nude 18+ girls for some file sharing sites, and happened to mistakenly also download a few illegal pictures, which he deleted.

But regardless of facts, his life is now ruined, because many people will have prejudge him based on almost nothing, and he'll probably never be able to practice again even if he's acquitted.

For the feds, that's just Monday, of course.

---

In any case, my real point isn't whether you should think he's guilty, but that we shouldn't take away his legal protections just because we think he's guilty, because the whole point is that they must be universal. Cases against unsympathetic defendants are exactly what prosecutors use to further the erosion of legal rights. For everyone's sake, don't play their game.
Yes, if you supplement it with problems -- you'll have to find them elsewhere or make some up yourself. (There's a companion book of exercises recently published, not on the website, which I haven't read.)

Of course different books help most for different people. This one's not the best if you want to pass a course and put it behind you. I think it's very much worth checking out if you want to be challenged and inspired to tackle problems for yourself and perhaps pick up a bit of how Feynman thought. There are very few other introductory texts by physicists of his stature: Matter and Motion by Maxwell, and, well, anything else? (Not counting popularizations; it's a fuzzy distinction, but these are securely on the textbook side.)
Fortunately, even that is changing. Google forced advertisers who want to buy inventory through AdX to switch their creatives to HTTPS in 2015 already. In my experience, any non-compliance to that comes from shitty agencies that haven't gotten the memo that you're better off just switching everything to HTTPS these days.
Way back when the dinosaurs roamed, and we had "PDAs", Palm tried to do this with their Visor "Springboards." These module would slide in the back and give you all sorts of awesomeness like "more memory, temperature loggers, cameras, printers, etc."

However, this expansion module came at a cost. The product itself had to be twice as thick as the competition, and the marketplace was moving so fast that it became outdated in just a few years.

Cool idea though - we actually made our own springboard module for our senior design project as a EE.

In that case, you set up a corporation that buys an entire subdivision of the city, has 'zoning laws' in its corporate bylaws, and makes 'landowners' shareholders.

Isn't this just local city government with another name? Well, no. There are significant differences between a city government and an organization of private citizens. For one, it's illegal for Walmart to bribe voters; but a corporation would love to have Walmart 'bribe' its shareholders.

Since I assume the land value of neatly organized sections is higher than that of poorly organized sections, there would be an entire section of the economy that buys up individual plots of land, forms corporations out of them, and redevelops and resells the area.
I don't think he's running. But, were he to, he'd go for Governor with an eye on the White House in 2024 or 2028, depending on who wins the White House in 2020.

The primary would be tough, and I don't think Zuckerberg would fare any better than Fiorina or Whitman did in their Senate and Gubernatorial runs. The big question for me at this moment is whether Xavier Becerra runs for Governor in 2018. My money is on him winning the Governorship if he does.

I assume Becerra is angling for the White House, and he needs a bigger podium than AG to make a run for it.
the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements article explains a more fundamental piece of information about this operation - i often see articles explaining two's complement, but doesn't say anything about this general 'complement' method (which works for all bases, not just binary).
It's hilarious because that's like the only DOS book that was even findable. And I actually gave that book to some of the maintenance techs who were struggling with "install instructions" they were getting from the devs.

When I say "install instructions" of course, I mean they were told to type something like:

c:
cd \foo
cd \bar
cd \baz
copy a:\wuzzle.exe

And sometimes they'd typo something and get completely confused.

I think the point is that if you believe both (a) it had zero chance at google (b) it might have had non-zero chance at Lenovo - then it would've been preferable for it to go to Lenovo, since a possibility of >0 is still better than a flat 0.

Google started the process of enforcing HTTPS on AdX about 2.5 years ago. Not implementing HTTPS in that large timeframe is rather inexcusable. It's just technical debt that you need to acknowledge, and then get rid of it.
What OS should I used daily (Linux or OS X)?
I had been using Linux for decades.
And I am used to the software and packages on GNU/Linux(Debian).
But recently I got a Mac, preparing to develop iOS apps on it. But I found that gradually I had to migrate/port some other Linux tools for OS X. It really costs time to do so when you replace the development environment.
GNU/Linux has great tools for developing most things in console. But it doesn't come along with some elegant DE (I am a KDE fun) as OS X has.

I am obsessed with the UI/Easiness of OS X. But I still want the convenience/productivity of GNU/Linux.

Do you have some ideas?

(P.S. The `homebrew`(unofficial OS X package manager) stuff is cool but it can never compare with `apt-get` or `pacman` or `emerge` or `yum` or `gg my friend` )

Have you ever experienced this?

CES 2017: What is Missing
TensorFlow 1.0.0-alpha is released
Not really news!! Facebook knows it all!!
The worst code I ever had to write was captive portal detection for the PlanGrid app.

I discovered there is a whole host of sysadmins out there attempting to actively subvert the iOS capitve portal detection. They try to figure out the domains used and whitelist them so iOS will think it is connected to a good network, but they redirect everything else which horribly breaks SSL connections. The whole thing is an arms race where Apple adds new domains to iOS but doesn't start using them until a certain date to evade the whitelist.

The stated reason for this stupidity? The mini-browser that pops up doesn't work with their stupid captive portal login or payment page. Fix the page? Nahhh, let's just fuck everyone's network connections instead. It caused an endless barrage of battery-draining network errors, eating the retry count and eventually causing POST requests to error out. The complete lack of respect for the users, internet protocol standards, etc was extremely evident.

We ultimately stuck a file with a specific phrase in a text file on the site, then when the app was having network trouble the code tries to fetch that file. If it gets an HTML response it marks it as in captive portal mode. IIRC it offered to take the user to safari and would open some non-HTTPS URL so the captive portal redirect could fire and let the user know.

I hope anyone trying to circumvent captive portal detection dies a very painful death, then gets revived, recovers through the miracle of modern medical technology, then dies another painful death.

> However if you have a good (i.e. deterministic) stack you might be able to reproduce NNs bit-for-bit, which makes it simpler to answer the question "why did we misclassify".

It does make it simpler, but surely not usually simple enough to answer the question "why did we misclassify". It's like saying we will finally understand consciousness once we simulate the quantum mechanics of a certain cubic metre of space with perfect accuracy - which need not be true even if that cubic metre happens to contain a functioning brain.

> What _is_ annoying about the UNISYS boxes is the 36 bit word format, though. Characters are stored in 9 bit quarterwords that map pretty awkwardly to bytes containing 8-bit ASCII. Binary data formats are essentially incompatible with anything.

This is why the FTP protocol has a byte size command. If all you have is 8-bit bytes then that seems strange. But at the time FTP was designed the most common machines on the ARPANET had 36-bit words (mostly PDP-10s and their derivatives) and bytes (the term was used in the more general sense) were just bit strings of 1-36 bits. 7-bit ascii was common (5 characters would fit in a word, like my username GUMBY), as were six bit bytes (pack six characters into a word). I never used 9-bit characters though arrays of nine-bit bytes were not unreasonable.

BTW the PDP-10 had 18-bit addresses so each word of memory held a Lisp cons; CAR, CDR, RPLACA etc were machine instructions. Gordon Bell and Alan Kotok designed the -10 (and its predecessor the PDP-6) with Lisp in mind. The first Lisp Machines.

> Binary data formats are essentially incompatible with anything.

Well, that's true today, but look at it the other way around: Unix was really developed for an 8/16-bit machine. It was a reimplementation of Multics that ran on a 36-bit machine (GE 645 & Honeywell 6180) written in PL/1. Unix was famously written for the PDP-7 (an 18-bit machine) but it was written in assembly. The famous PDP-11 version was written in a BCPL derivative you might have heard of called "C" and, since PL/1's level of machine abstraction was still new, the derivative modeled the PDP-11 architecture. So nowadays all CPUs are C machines and C runs well on them. Probably the most common non-PDP-11-like machine most programmers will program these days is a GPU.

I found "I'm emigrating next month" was very effective at getting an immediate cancellation with several services I used to use.
I didn't want to nick-pick here, OP could've just said that.

It's the same as not having a ternary operator. Go is no language that allows expressing code in few lines, but by that they keep it simple to read.

Even though I doubt that proper exception handling is shorter than the Go version. Many developers just choose to not do that and handle all Exceptions the same, or using try-catch blocks that stretch over hundreds of lines. It's indeed faster then, but not a good comparison.
I think in this case it's meant to mean "project management and task tracking tools are basically always hateful, but I find this one the least hateful".

I once, over a beer, told the development team of a ticketing system that I'd never used anything I hated less than theirs, and they all grinned and said that that was high praise to them.

If you believe you can produce such a system that people actually like to use, rather than finding less hateful than the alternatives, I genuinely invite you to try, because I'd love to have such a thing available to me. But I'm afraid I'll remain skeptical until I see it :)

The iPhone broke the carrier's backs. Before the iPhone the carrier was the customer, not you. They dictated features. They had final approval over the awful Java applets on phones. They also set the app prices and took a huge cut.

Very rarely is a new technology useful in abstract; the inventor of the steering wheel made a contribution but without the rest of the car it is meaningless.

Touch screens existed, sure. There were one or two largish screen phones, sure. Smartphones existed (all using keyboards and styluses). OS X and Safari existed. But no one had put it all together into a single device, nor had anyone created a sensible UI design language to take advantage of things like multitouch.

You're basically saying Dropbox is garbage because rsync/SMB/NFS/FTP existed. Or Uber/Lyft are garbage because Taxis existed. Yes there are some superficial similarities but it turns out the details make a massive world of difference and it is intellectually dishonest to be so dismissive.

On 10 June, Jill Bähring, a woman whom three witnesses claimed to have seen being abused,[92] flatly denied the abuse allegations.[101] In a statement released by Gizmodo journalist William Turton, Bähring wrote: "Reading this highly distorted version of my experience, which is being used as one of the 'bulletproof examples' of Jacob's alleged misbehavior, I can’t help but wonder. Wonder about all the stories that have been published the last days. Wonder not only about mob justice on twitter, caused by rumors and speculation, but also about the accounts repeated by those who call themselves journalists. Wonder about how many other stories have been willingly misinterpreted. Wonder about the witnesses in all these stories, who coincidentally always seem to consist of the same set of people. Wonder about their motive to speak on my behalf without my consent."[102][103]

How would having fewer rich people prevent the poor from committing crimes against the middle class (or just publicly engaging in victimless crimes[1]) and engaging in other behaviors that make an area feel unsafe?

As a counterpoint, consider India and most of Asia. Poor areas are dirty and have little infrastructure, but they don't feel unsafe. I occasionally shop in Dharavi and don't feel unsafe at all.

[1] I believe that lots of strung out drug addicts make an area feel unsafe even if they don't harm anyone.

I think you're absolutely right about clout. He doesn't have the presence or charisma for senatorship or above. I have doubts about his success - what I don't doubt is his aspirations.

He's big money and big government, but so is everybody from those four ideological groups (with the exception of the libertarian and anarchistic contingents). Parties aren't always formed from
a unique political agenda or worldview - they're just as often a means to cut through existing party bureaucracy and raise the heat on the competition in tight races.
It is a marvelously true expression. _Whatever_ the cause, a real black-dog depression robs a person of all sense of effective agency. The leg is broken and needs a cast, and for many the drugs do work (personal experience). But then the person needs to learn to walk again. It may be a disease (there is a genetic component) but we don't know whether the observed neurotransmitter problems are cause or effect.

Freud said that the purpose of therapy was to replace neurotic misery with ordinary human unhappiness. Some Californians find that a bit of a downer, but it's true, and we can do something about unhappiness.
The author can probably get a lot of traction by doing random perturbation, but they won't be getting things in the correct ratios (i.e. lots of dropped hyphens but not many dropped apostrophes) and also won't probably make all the types of errors that humans actually make. It will work, but a huge part of machine learning and doing NLP is getting those ratios right. This is one reason Google slays with their translator, they have huge corpuses that allow them to get fine grained distinctions in their models.
