If you developed the libraries yourself, then you have a point. But if you're using someone else's library, which they maintain, then it seems reasonable to say your application is pure Swift.

Note that there's a difference between saying "my application is pure Swift" and "everything is pure Swift". If you're trying to make an argument about safety (as happens when people talk about writing things in Rust), then having the libraries written in that language is important. If you're just trying to say "this is a modern codebase using the latest tooling and APIs", then all that matters is the code you wrote, and not the pre-existing libraries that you link to.

He is not, and that is the primary flaw in this analysis.

Estimates that the recent declines in birth rate will continue until 0 annual births, once the birth rate stops the death rate continues at pace, and kills everyone eventually.

Flawed in many ways, but that is the biggest mistake. A good example would be the temperature has dropped 20 degrees in the last month at this rate we will reach absolute 0 in around 2 years.
That's pretty high risk on the host's part. If your guest happens to discover the camera and informs the police, at least where I live you would be looking at a pretty hefty fine and possibly even a short prison term + felony criminal record.

It doesn't help much if you are mostly spying on foreign tourist guests, since the act of visual spying of a private household is itself a serious crime - not only as a tort against a victim, but a criminal offence likely of interest to the public prosecutor.
"It's academic in the colloquial sense that the tools you describe aren't available to use."

I just named multiple tools available to use in commercial sector and FOSS. Their predecessors were used by commercial and government sector for a decade before that. That's 100% not academic even if a few started there. If anything, more work just needs to be poured into FOSS stuff so it gets more deployment and impact.

"All the other stuff you say is on point, of course, and there's an argument or a hundred to be made that a lot of these problems are already solved, and that we (as users and developers) are missing out on a massive amount of amazing OS research that could have made everything better than our current insecure, 1970s-tech monolithic kernel OSes."

We're definitely in agreement there. Fortunately, we're seeing some exploration into that including on the Rust front with Redox.
Thank you for the insight. I'm reading Marx at the moment.
Well, one thing more you could say is whether you're pointing this out as an example to emulate or avoid. :)

The aforementioned google translate paper suggests so.

My hunch is that TPUs work with a mix of 8 bit and 16 bit integer arithmetic on quantized networks with quantized data [1].

As far as I know nobody has managed to make SGD work properly with integer weights and that could be a reason why TPUs are not used for training (yet).

I could be completely wrong though.
That's an incredibly wild claim that they would sunset it after they just spent $425 million to buy it. Why would you think that?

Also, the might include it or leave it separate. They might even include it and still keep it a great product.
This seems fundamentally to be an argument against ethics in general. Whatever your personal values may be, a viewpoint that would justify nearly any atrocity is not very useful.

Fortunately for us, they have two biological strikes against developing that kind of culture.

1. They have short lifespans, limiting how much knowledge and wisdom an individual can acquire over its lifetime.

2. Reproduction is fatal. Males dies a few months after mating. Females spend all their time after the eggs are laid guarding them, and neglect to eat. They die of starvation around the time the eggs hatch. The octopus young are on their own, with no living parents to pass on learned knowledge and wisdom.
That's thirteen paragraphs down, by which time most of us would have moved on. This style of writing seems to have spread everywhere. Is it an attempt to portray the interviewee in a less formal and more interesting light. I see something similar on television 'science' documentaries. A picture of a scientist in her bath (a quantum physicist) or another standing on a mountain gazing rapturously into the firmament (a cosmologist). The shot being taken from a swooping drone. No doubt the scientists are having deep thoughts. The thing is, none of this is actually communicated to us in the body of the program. Back to the article, what it doesn't present is the evidence that Shakespeare the Gent. from Stratford is the same as Shakespeare the Player.
Certainly. Bluffing at an optimal/unexploitable frequency is something that is quite difficult for humans to do, but is easier with access to a RNG.

Some pros use systems where they look at the second hand of a clock to decide whether to bluff or not, as a proxy for randomness.
I certainly agree that many people today hold to Christian ethics while rejecting the supernatural basis for it, not realizing that their worldview doesn't support their ethics.
While I admit I'm not completely up on all the details of New Orleans specifically, a quick Google search suggests that rent is in line what what I would expect to find around my area, where tourists have little interest in visiting (small farming town of no importance), and isn't exactly flush with cash either (median income is similar).

Surprisingly, although less concerning to the poor, ownership prices don't even seem very expensive in New Orleans. If anything, less than you would find where I am. Now I'm starting to wonder where the idea that costs skyrocketed is coming from? Perhaps local prices were actually heavily depressed due to some natural/economic disasters and have finally started to return to what that income level can support through recovery from those events; AirBnB having little to do with it?
JIRA interface blows. However you're looking at it from a very selfish standpoint. The Trello team has probably been working on this for years with the explicit goal of an exit, better to get bought by likeminded product people and make a big return than to be bought by Google and have the product killed entirely.
Health care is affordable and sustainable in most of the high HDI countries and, in any case, has little to do with life expectancies.

Romania (and if my memory serves me right, a lot of eastern european countries) have heavily invested into their internet infrastructure. Huge costs for their government, but it is paying off. As a result, almost the entire country has high speed links for dirt cheap.

It's somewhat similar throughout Europe too. Speeds may vary. Prices are relatively low. Paying 29€/month for whatever your line is able to supply is common in France. Regrettably, due to our choice of investing into copper lines heavily, our infrastructure is starting to get old. For example, I am getting 8Mbps/1Mbps and it's not likely to change soon.
UCSC is an interesting problem.

There are have been serious plans to expand into upper campus - which would destroy some beautiful redwoods which people don't like. But is it better to build an entire new UC campus somewhere else? That seems inefficient - there are already serious resources devoted to that campus and I think that more people experiencing UCSC will lead to a better, more educated, more socially conscious world. Maybe we should just increase capacity and build more housing in upper campus. But by increasing capacity we further increase demand for water in a drought stricken area... We can't win without more water. So maybe we need desalination, but to make that work we need obscene amounts of excess electricity... environmentally and socially conscious growth is hard.
There is of course a fourth: organize with your co-workers and bargain collectively for smarter management and better working conditions.

Thank you!! So many of my friends have watched that movie and their interpretation is "yeah wouldn't it be awesome to start a fight club". When really it's showing how a charismatic cult leader can gain massive influence.
One of the advantages of Caddy is its purely static binaries. You don't even need libc to run Caddy, and that goes for any platform. The dynamic loading of plugins is at odds against this advantage.

> However, there's just no excuse for relying on recompilation instead of dynamically loading modules also written in Go and thus using the same runtime.

Actually there is.

Go plugins are something we're looking at, but it's complicated and the technology is currently immature. Please read this forum thread in full: https://forum.caddyserver.com/t/go-1-8-plugin-model/934?u=ma...
The consolidation is happening because there's a huge surplus of hospital beds and specialists in NY.
This is a wide-ranging problem, actually. Apple strongly recommends you NOT create a case sensitive file system, particularly on your system drive.
Capitalism and nationalist mercantilism are historically related, but one does not necessarily follow from the other.

Anarcho-capitalists usually define "capitalism" as "societal convention allows an individual to own property for that person's sole benefit". In that school of thought, your ability to own things is limited by your ability to defend what you have claimed. You can't just take your money, use it to buy state power, and then use that to get more money.

The an-cap factory owner does not fear that the workers will seize ownership of the factory. They fear that and that one of the employees will quit and become a leaner, faster competitor. A state-capitalist owner can generally prevent that with zoning and regulation, but the an-cap owner has to create an entirely different worker dynamic.
Why stop with paying paying bounties to technicians? Let's have the FBI infect every computer it can with malware that scans for signatures of known images of child abuse. It's for the children, after all.
Trello had super ambitious growth plans but didn't have the leadership team in place to achieve them. They built an incredibly valuable and wonderful product and Atlassian is an appropriate partner to take it to the next level.
Its really eye opening how much car companies lie and cheat.

Volkswagen, Toyota, and now this, are all car companies so dishonest ?
I really hope tesla is different.
If they are smart, they'll pull a Facebook / Instagram and just leave it to continue working. Also, I'd say a large percentage of Trello users are outside of the classical Jira camp, so Atlassian should be really careful with the new baby. I believe they will be.
I think this is a good call from Kodak. People are enamored with less accurate reproduction of vinyl records. So it's no surprise that up and coming hipsters will soon be shooting with another media that capture a less accurate version of reality, calling it superior and claiming they like it better.
I basically agree with you, but this also reflects where you are on the prescriptivist/descriptivist split.

Given the absence of evidence that it was the Russians, this looks like the Iraqi WMDs all over again.

However, suppose for the sake of argument it was indeed the Russian government. One thing nobody seems to be pointing out is this: if there is one country in the world that cannot complain about interference in the political process of another country with the slightest shred of moral authority, it's the U.S. If you want a new world order where that's off the table, feel free to propose such a rule henceforth and let it be debated, but you don't get to retroactively say a new rule against X started to apply after the dozens of times you did X yourself and just before the time someone allegedly did X to you.

Sure, but it's the end result that matters. Incidentally, the human brain also has evolved by natural selection (which involves random mutation).
Actually, I argue amorality in all things from an agnostic view. There is no such thing as a universal ethic. There is only force and its decay.

For the general concept of animal herd vs people collective (effectually herd vs herd), this doesn't much matter. The best argument one can muster its that we, being rational, should preserve a reasonable food chain. The idea goes like this: A stable, sustainable food chain allows us to continue living; continue living is a good thing; therefore we will manage the food chain. Nothing here says that we should exclude from the food chain anything with an intelligence. Such a pronouncement is merely a feel good. It's an extension onto the animals of the view that we, ourselves, would not like to be eaten. If such a measure were carried out without hypocrisy, one would not eat any animals. Drawing an arbitrary line is ok for the individual. It has no weight as moral imperative or generalizable postulate.
I'd consider it unlikely (especially with two-tabling, and that poker players tend to study game theory and understanding of odds offline, not "live" or during gameplay itself) that the players will be referencing or accessing any tools during play.

It's just that it's becoming more and more in the toolbox of poker players to gain understanding of Nash equilibrium (conceptually and practically) and other important concepts that they fold into their strategy (based on meta-game, familiarity with the style and strategies of opponents, etc.)

More sophisticated players are constantly calculating real and implied odds at all times, without relying on a tool to do so (often there is fuzzing or approximation involved, but it's typically "close enough"), but especially in heads up play it's the more esoteric parts of strategy that are more important. Bluffing, slowplays/trapping, reads and reaction (not always physical as in tells but often habits).
Google Wallet definitely had problems, but it is worth noting that it was also launched years ahead of Apple Pay when NFC payment systems in most countries was more limited. Android Pay, launched after Apple Pay, works similarly well in my experience so at least we finally have decent smartphone adoption of NFC payments.

Indeed, in some of my own benchmarks, Caddy performed better than nginx in recent versions of Go. (Using "out of the box" configurations, anyway.) I know tuning is possible, as it is with Caddy depending on your situation. There are so many dimensions to performance of a web server, though, and I don't give much weight to benchmarks. https://gist.github.com/mholt/3f613740ceb417bf63fa
GitKraken looks promising, and introduces some new UI concepts (drag and drop merging, for example). It's still fairly young but could be a competitor.

And suddenly your tourist-y locale is transformed into "just another cityscape."

Not to make light of the need for affordable housing. But, the problem with respect to AirBnB and the like is not simply to "build more."

Zoning, regulations, and such grew up over decades, in response to needs. Not "just because."

AirBnB and the like, as I've commented elsewhere, essentially crowd-source an "end run" around limited resources for enforcement.

Arbitraging short-term rental demand against limited, taxpayer-funded (and often not even supplemented by e.g. hotel taxes that traditional short-term rental establishments have to pay) enforcement.

In my personal experience, I have had an abusive level of disregard for the common welfare exhibited by a few neighbors. Absent effective control, it really can "ruin" a building or a neighborhood.

This has left me with exactly zero sympathy for the AirBnB crowd. Especially after the all-to-frequent horror stories I've read -- thought admittedly, the press and public attention seek the extremes for the sake of sensation. But even just in more level-headed, unpromoted comments here on HN and elsewhere. The "sharing" economy too often takes its advantage by dumping on its surroundings and reducing the quality of life for others.

By all means, build more housing. In a sustainable fashion and enjoyable design. I've advocated for creating regulation and code that requires noise-reducing materials and construction techniques in new construction. Among other things, this could well make shared dwellings more attractive, increasing density and resource efficiency while maintaining aspects of quality of life such as simply having a safely peaceful home.

But don't promote "build more" as a simple sop for the problems AirBnB and unregulated "sharing" bring to the table. Don't turn other people's homes, often against their will, into "the hotel room next door."
That's because bs means "up to" so if input comes at smaller blocks it will write in those. You should use obs, and preferably specify ibs to being multiple of obs.
Software is complicated and error prone and it takes a good amount of skill and time to write it well. Personally, I'm not impressed at all with most software made in an Ops environment. I think it usually sucks and that sucky quality, along with the complexity of debugging and maintaining it, makes it a net deficit to productivity. I have been writing software in Ops for a long time and it is just annoying how little work is done correctly in this space. I think most Ops automation is so error prone that you might as well hire an intern to stare at your network and you'll get as good if not better system stability.

In fact, this is how Ops used to work. You'd use humans to oil the machinery of the basic automation you put in place, and they were damn good at keeping uptime high and catching problems nobody thought of in their automation. Now people just automate and pray, it seems, and then play catch-up indefinitely, or waste time redesigning.

We totally automate the physical machines too. But wherever possible by using tools, not writing software. Honestly I wouldn't want to insult the practice of software engineering by comparing my work to theirs.
wow fascinating read.

If global resources are finite, it would explain the drive to colonize space.
This seems a bit ethnocentric. Judeo-Christianity did bring some novel moral requirements, but the ones that it shares with most agnostics and atheists are not Judeo-Christian inventions. For example, Buddhists have been practicing compassion without any need for the Hebrew god for thousands of years, and Jains are some of the most extreme animal rights wonks you'll meet.
Glad to hear. Lots of users just consume, and don't give back. Reporting bugs is a huge help.
Except you would need a lot more server power on the back end to handle the audio. It would cost more.

Sending an SPL every few seconds is a lot less bandwidth. It's engineering overkill to do anything else.
That's a bold claim. There are plenty of high performers who would rather be managed with dignity by a "scrub" than be berated by an genius asshole.
I would love to see that footage. I've seen videos of them solving simple problems, but I've never seen them go all MacGyver. The way their described makes me think of our local raccoons, shifty, conniving and sort of belligerent. You have to respect their audacity and resolve.
Bankers are like aspect oriented programming. They cut through a lot of layers. You touch a banker you are touching many people across the spectrum. Sending an automobile scapegoat ceo to jail does not affect that many people.
HUDs don't really provide a "odds" in the way you're thinking; they record things like frequency of voluntarily putting money in pot, raising pre flop, betting/raising/3-betting at different streets...

Borrow checking means much less defensive copying without a loss of safety.
"Damning with faint praise" is a pretty subtle English idiom. In my experience, it's only used to refer to an instance where someone is socially obligated to offer praise, e.g. a doctoral adviser writing a reference for their student, who gives such faint praise that they intend the recipient to infer that, were they allowed to, they would have been explicitly critical. Since the comment author in question was under no such obligation, I don't think the idiom applies.
Does this look like the commit log of a legacy product?

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/

Mercurial is very important for Facebook, Mozilla, Google, and others. The disparaging "legacy" monicker might be a good way to feel justified to not have to learn about it, but it's not dying software that is no longer getting updates.
It's good point and a valid concern (Parse). But I think there is value there for both Atlassian and Trello. I don't think this will be a bad thing for end user.

Yep, pigs are highly intelligent. They've been shown to be able to learn how to use mirrors to locate food, are possibly capable of theory of mind, deception and visual perspective taking. Some of these can be disputed as associative learning but we're also finding out that the same can also be said of aspects of higher human cognition. And from work in machine learning, we know how far even just associative learning and pattern matching can take you.

I'd be very curious to know if there is any impact to choosing Numpy C ordered arrays or Fortran ordered arrays. As a long time Matlab user (since 1993) who moved to Python 3 years ago, I have always defaulted to Fortran order because it was what I was used to and seemed more intuitive. I did play with C ordered arrays but didn't find an advantage in my limited investigation.
