On this I beg to differ. Or at least, you are making a sweeping generalisation. Not everyone thinks and feels as you do.

For me, being given "historical context" and having to understand where these things came from, or why they were interesting, or how they were developed, or who did them, was tedious agony, and I hated it with a passion that's hard to describe.

I understand that for some people it brings mathematics to life, for others, like me, it kills it. Please don't think everyone is like you.
What classes have you taken so far and what did you learn - very interested in this program.
These days its very easy to get any flavor of Linux/Unix running in cloud at a very cheap price. Back in the day folks especially developer relied on Macs as a stable platform to work on but now that landscape has changed due to cloud. Meanwhile this transformation was happening Apple lost its focus and doing the right thing instead their bright idea was generate passive income by forcing people buying connectors.

I owned an old Mac for 7+ years it worked fine and finally I decided to get a new one. I was just amazed by amount of connectors I ended up buying.
So something like a 1U server?

The Queen of Shitty Robots on Taking the Pressure Out of Creativity
You wouldn't necessarily need to. It would lower one kind of tax stream, but giving people more money to spend would increase others by a similar amount. If I had another $500 of free money, I would most likely spend that on something that is taxed. Possibly something that's taxed at a higher rate, or something that contributes to the GDP.

We give tax breaks to companies all the time with the explicit understanding that they will cover that loss just by the mere fact that they exist and are spending money.
You'd have to block on I/O somehow. You can avoid the threadpool costs to block, too, IIRC (but that's worse)
You would need a dual CPU system. Skylake Xeons have 48x PCIe.

16x TB3 = 64x PCIe Lanes

2x GPU = 32x PCIe Lanes

2x M.2 = 8x PCIe Lanes

Chipset = 8x PCIe Lanes

Would be too much for even 2x Skylake Xeons. Maybe 10-12x TB3 ports.

Slow internet connections have existed for quite a while, indeed. But websites were smaller back then - they didn't load a 300 kB JS file just to hide a few elements.

A slow connection combined with huge websites are practically unusable.

>carefully crafted pages

Yes, this is the ideal solution - people adopt saner (and smaller) web development. But that is uncontrollable and, frankly, I don't see it happening.
I guess I see it as chicken and egg problem: Is the site popular because it's one of the top results? or is it the top result because it's popular?

I've seen too many of the former to believe Google is trying to push the later.
Yes a major transformation took place. I anticipated a world where my C64 would be online with friends running humorous programs on it, making me giggle while I worked, synthing music while we walked down the street. A few bad guys here and there with personal grievances, but the local cyberlord taking them out swiftly.

As it turned out, based on the 90s and Windows, there are soooooo many bad guys out there it's unbelievable. And their ability to scale is sublime. It wasn't about one devil-eyed hacker in my cafe with a piece of malware on a green crystal.... More mundane and multiplicitous, it's 100,000 script kiddies in every country around the world trying password lists in every port on every IP address. Mostly to simply re-sell the data to someone who actually has a plan.

And that's neverminding the concentrated, hybrid state/criminal enterprises operating out of labs with crazy budgets.

So I think that's why everything just had to get walled to death, or rather sterility. I still giggle at images while I'm working, but the security of the channels through which a "hold my beer" .gif travels to get to me is astonishing. It would probably take a day just to verify a 4096-bit security algorithm on my old friend, the 6502.

I agree completely with this essay.

Here is my tip to Apple. I always felt I understood Apple's Gestapo-like tactics in the past, regarding their rigid methodologies. Eliminating ports and features, removable batteries, etc. I don't understand Apples moves in the past 5 years. They have spread out and complicated everything that Jobs' made simple and attractive.

Heres my advice.

Apple is way too spread out, it should kill off the dead ends.

* Kill iTunes split it in to 5 functional media apps, and design a good simple music player. Stop trying to make me sign up for reoccurring-billing services. Makes me feel like I'm dealing with Comcast.

* Merge the App store with the Apple media store.

* Kill the watch and the car.

* Merge the iPod, iPhone, iPad, iMac, Macbook to one product with 5 sizes each with a pro series all with a touch or keyboard interface and an appropriate OS interface depending on if a keyboard is attached. Yes, merge MacOS and iOS.

* Simplify product and Apple services pricing, two tiers, basic and unlimited.

* Bring back a pro series products and software even if it was a revenue loser.

* And simply password protections with a API service offered and incentivized like SSL certs are.

* I sort of get Apple Health, but what is Apple Home? What is Apple Music Match, or Apple Music and why isn't it included with iCloud? Merge them all.

There are plenty of IT sectors to fix and disrupt. They seem like they just think there's isn't anything work on. Cars? Watches? Movie/TV? WTF

How about

There’s just one more thing... Apple home audio video equipment and media services and amps. Compete with the big boys in home audio video. The industry is a mess with protocols, encryption, DRM, AV encoding, bit-rates, streaming services. I need my IT degree, not for computers but for my audio system. Erode cable's power grip not from the network production and delivery end from the home equipment end. Remake Apple TV as a prosumer product series called Apple Home. Hardware that works with Apple amplifiers, Apple speakers, Apple record players? etc. Introduce Apple TV an actual TV. Let's face it the only good thing about TVs these days is the actual screen, the software sucks. Everyone is tired of having 5 remote controls. My husband can’t turn on the TV! Apple is perfectly set up to do it. It’s constant and consistent market that will only grow as home entertainment improves in quality.

This doesn't make sense until the browser and the OS shell are combined into one thing.
Many websites like Google, Twitter or GitHub, refuse to show content in cross domain iframe, for secure reason.

It is the browser that refuses to show the content. The behavior is in response to an HTTP header. See: http://stackoverflow.com/a/19843216

If X-Frame-Options is removed from the HTTP stream, the modified page can be displayed. Browser scripting or a 'Man in the middle' attack (on the content provider not the user) are possible approaches to working around the limitation.

Kids picture books and pop out books. A big part of the learning process is getting them to engage with the act of reading by engaging with the physical object.

I also worry about my child seeing me reading from an ereader and not a book because it might be harder for them to make the mental jump from "he is reading" instead of "he is consuming content on a tablet" as they look the same. But they are very different activities.

I do not think you read the article. The article is specifically cites two reasons for debt woes: older people becoming co-signers of their kids' or grandkids' loans, and being unable to pay off student debt that they themselves took out decades ago.

The last straw for me was when osx without warning or explanation removed the vpn technology I was using. The people waiting for me to do work asked "why in the hell are you still trying to use that piece of crap" and I didn't have an answer. I never really needed the super expensive ssd or the most high end cpu. I do need more ram and am dumbfounded why apple would go 5+ years without upgrading the ram (cue the apple fans to tell me I'm stupid and don't need more ram). I put together a $700 system that better fits my needs than the $4000 macbook. The awesome magic trackpad 2 I was so worried about losing has been replaced with a mx master and I ended up liking it better. The real surprise for me is that intel 530 graphics drives a 4k display better than the macbook with its loud m370x.

I'm not a hater. I like apple's attitude on encryption. I like brushed aluminum stuff and don't mind paying for it. It just doesn't work for me when a $700 system can have better specs for my work than their $4000 system.
There's a second out of forgiveness after 240 payments, though last I check it is unclear exactly what the tax consequences are for that type of forgiveness (public service forgiveness does not incur a tax liability).
It sounds like you did the on-campus program at GT, so you took time off work to complete it. It's hard to argue with the fact that losing the wages to do that is a lot of missed opportunity.

However.... I think majority of people that take OMSCS (I am in my 2nd semester) and this new OMSA program do so part time while still maintaining their fulltime jobs and families.

What the factors for an application to be granted, can anyone get in?
Two points.

1. I don't understand people who say "I don't have time to read two pages, so please send one". Why not just read the first page then and only move on to the second page if you're intrigued and want more details?

2. Legibility has a myriad of variables. I wouldn't rather read a CV that shaves off some whitespace that'd otherwise make it more delightful and easier to go through, in order to artificially shove in necessary content into the dimensions of Letter/A4.

It's something I haven't looked into for many years but I find it interesting that Masters engineering programs seem to span the range from coursework-only one year programs to two year plus programs with a thesis. With relatively little correlation between that and the overall reputation of the school/degree.

In my experience, the thesis is a huge part of the degree when it's present so I find it at least somewhat curious that some (many?) programs that are generally considered quite good don't have one.

Agreed that the rigidity around library matching is disappointing; I've found this is the case with most of these media scanners, and not just Plex specifically. XBMC allowed the user to add his/her own regexes to the matchers last time I tried it, but I don't think that Plex does.

I understand that there are potentially infinite permutations, but I think at least a slightly broader set of default regexes and/or a better way to fingerprint would be a lot nicer. Seems one could hash chunks of the file and compare against a database to identify media without considering the filename at all; that'd be the most convenient.

If Plex isn't matching what you want, mark the media type "Home Videos". That matches everything.
The parent is certainly oversimplifying, but you're not looking very carefully if you can't see environmental effects there. The energy expenses alone -- of the computers of developers, other staff of the company, and players; of whatever cloud resources are used by the company directly or through 3rd party services they take advantage of; of the office itself and of the transportation of employees to and from it -- are pretty huge. Not to mention the resources extracted to build the computers and other equipment used by the creators and consumers. They aren't used exclusively because of Dishonored 2, but it's an enormous ecological burden shared by all economic activity involving computers. You could keep going.
That's true, but the C612/X99 chipsets that pair with Broadwell-EP CPUs only provide an extra 8 PCIe 2.0 lanes.

I'd say it's very statistics heavy, but it depends on the individual. They offer three different tracks: computational, business, and analytical tools. If you pick the analytical tools track your classes will be more stats heavy.

Most of the core classes (like machine learning) are more math based. In machine learning, it's done from a mathematical/theoretical approach. Another example is regression analysis, where you learn the math before doing the practical work in R.

I have a weak math/stats background but a strong software background, which also aligns with my interests so I'm doing the computational track. As I mentioned before, most of the core curriculum is math heavy so I'm learning that aspect, but I'm also getting a ton of practical experience in machine learning and big data work.

For more details, here is a link to the original report written by the CFPB: https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documen...
The conditions are onerous, I think this is to discourage speculation or out-of-town investors who are not invested in a neighborhood in a 'rake leaves, clear snow, mow lawn and lend a cup-of-sugar' kind of way - buying one of these properties and leaving it unoccupied for any length of time would not be a good idea. The conditions (kinda-sorta-owner-occupiers-only) correlate to what the city thinks these neighborhoods need.

Regarding the notion of 'high risk' neighborhoods. See above point - risk is proportional to occupancy. Occupied structure, reduced risk. Rental unit with fallow periods - high risk.

The elephant in the room here is also Race. Race does not correlate to risk or a 'High risk neighborhood' - this notion is perhaps the most insidious and hardest for Capital to overcome - if it ever will be - in which case these supposed 'High Risk Neighborhoods' or 'Bad Apples' will always be labelled as such and avoided. (Incidentally I see this paradigm shift - to be the core argument of the article - albeit approached obliquely)

Regarding neighboring houses - A street in Detroit, if it can go in a downward spiral, typically already has, the city is currently in the process of demolishing blighted structures, and a property owner has a reasonable expectation that if a nearby house has-gone or goes 'galley-west' the city will take it down and offer the lot to neighboring property owners or list it for-sale on the website linked in the original comment.

The taxes correlate to the assessed value of a property, these are slightly unpredictable. However, the city is reassessing property values this year, working under the supposition that realistic valuations that people can actually pay are a better approach. Basically - I agree, lack of confidence in tax-rates is a bad thing, and it's a good thing the city is working to deal with this.
Thats is, thanks!

But the market leader implements exactly the same thing and people won't give it a chance because it's a change and they can't handle change.

To play the devil's advocate, couldn't you argue that the reason the take-rate seems high is because only the people that want change are going to use the disrupter's thing, whereas those people represent a very small minority of people using the existing, uninnovative product?

Ask HN: Uses for Idle Gaming PC?
Last year I had built a pretty beefy gaming PC to use for game development and playing games.

Fast-forward to today and I'm not developing or playing games that much at all, so this PC sits idle most of the time.

What are some things I can have this PC do in the interim? I don't pay electricity and extra heat would be beneficial during Canadian winter anyway. Right now it serves as a Storj node and Folding@Home machine, with some crypto mining in the past which I've stopped due to pitiful returns.
What's interesting about neural machine translation is that the core model is completely language pair independent. So we roughly use the same code for Russian-English, English-Russian, and Chinese-German. That being said the errors in Russian are quite different than those made in other languages due to case endings. For instance for a similar size data set there are often 5x more unique Russian words than in English.

Semantic web is about making the meaning of your content easier for machines to extract. The idea is to have a single HTML document that is readable by people, but is also marked up with microformats or similar rich markup to enable easy acquisition of data by machine (i.e., without being dependent upon the structure of the HTML).

The BBC's Programmes web site was a good example of this for some time, but I think this seems to have fallen by the wayside somewhat. Here's an instance though, where the broadcast times are marked up with XSD datetime information in addition to the human readable times: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b016ljx7/broadcasts
