Watering it down as a punishment doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. I have read that the rum ration was mixed with fruit juice both to extend the drink and likely to attempt to combat scurvy. This is where 'grog' comes from, which is rum mixed with fruit juice.
6 Days late but I'll toss this question out anyhow...
What programming languages did you focus on?
A terminal mux. Mux is short for multiplexer, which chooses between different inputs. It is a tool for running keeping multiple terminal sessions open at the same time. These sessions can be attached and detached from, which is often helpful when working on a remote machine you may want to access from different work stations.

Screen is a similar program.

Theoretical physicists explore lots of crazy ideas and their implications. It's necessary to keep an open mind when you're working on the outer edges of science.

Max Tegmark is famous for his occasional crackpot theories. If anything they make for good sci-fi.
This should be downvoted as horribly misleading. This idiot is FACTUALLY and PROVABLY wrong.

One instance which is easy to demonstrate is the line that the President "removed a permanent military presence from the NSC".

The military is on the Council according to LAW. No president can change that.

>Probably 99.99999% of GMOs are fine, but that one in a million will have disastrous consequences for an ecosystem.

This really doesn't make any biological sense and kind of goes against all of our understanding of evolution and ecology. Can you describe this theoretical situation in any kind of detail? I find it completely incoherent and unimaginable.

GMOs have a huge advantage over traditional methods of crop development because they can be engineered to be safer: they can be designed to not survive off of human farms, and not reproduce with wild plants, or have other safety measures.

The idea that we can create a single organism that could cause an ecological catastrophe (bigger than any of the ecological harm caused by simply moving around invasive natural species) is science fiction; the idea that we could do so accidentally while trying to create food to eat is a complete delusion. We've already created outlandish, strange, non-natural super plants: every single vegetable that you and I eat. We did so with no regard to safety, nor understanding of what we were doing. GMOs only improve enormously on this process.

Again, the utter failure of this argument is apparent in how it can be applied to any technology: we shouldn't make software because that 1 in a million program could destroy the power grid / Internet / cause nuclear war, we shouldn't make medicine because that 1 in a million vaccine will cause people to drop dead en masse 10 years down the road, etc. If those seem preposterous to you, I assure you that to plant scientists, geneticists, and EcoEvo folks, your worry seems equally preposterous.
The article claims much more than what you say. Did they bring Franco to mainland, helping the nacional side? OK. Did they "engineered start of Spanish civil war"? That's a terrible hyperbole.
> I think its culturally important that Trump didn't get the popular vote, but it's also a little like playing a game of chess, losing, and then decrying "but I took more pawns!"

There are certainly such complaints coming from those who voted against him, but it's also worth noting that by far the biggest sore loser is Trump himself. He has insisted that the only reason he failed to win the popular vote is due to voter fraud, and not due to a brilliantly-executed campaign strategy by his staff. They knew how to get the electoral votes, and they went out and got them. But instead of being thrilled to have the office and focusing all effort on his agenda, he had his press secretary defend his delusional idea that he won on the merits of being the most popular, and then doubled down and claimed widespread voter fraud in the states he didn't need to win.

It's worth noting because it shows how divorced the reality of fitness for the office is from the ability to gain the office. We have known this for a long time--almost everyone acknowledges that absent an extremely fortunate turn of circumstances one cannot become president--but I don't think there has been in at least a century here (and probably longer) such a stark negative example.

You're right there a ton of things Safari does that others can't. So as you mentioned Apple would have to add all sorts of hooks to the OS and enhancements to the web view to allow people to use alternate brothers as the default even if they were still rendering with Safari internally, let alone some other engine.

Now would most users rather have the time spent on that, or improving Siri to give it more domains like the ones they added last year for third-party apps?

If the choice was between an improved Siri and the existing Chrome app as the default… Would that really be a smart trade off for their time?

( obviously Apple has the money to hire a lot more people, but let's face it that's not going to happen for this kind of thing)
Questioning whether someone else has a "sound mind" is obviously ad hominem.
If I understand correctly, the public Gitlab is similar to what you can get with a private Gitlab instance. That makes me wonder, instead of trying to scale the one platform up, would it be OK to spin up a second public silo? I mean yeah, it would be a different silo, but for something free I'd say "meh".

I think it's totally fine admitting when you've stopped being able to scale up, and need to start scaling out.

Different Strokes for (Remote) Folks
wow... aclu is a joke. unconstitutional? sorry but illegal immigrants are not protected by the constitution. why do the democrats fail to understand this?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say this that I think this is a cultural bias, not a 'racial' one.

Anecdotally, the number of college-aged Asians you walk past in the street that are smoking is much higher than the number of college-aged caucasians. I won't pretend to know which portion of which demographic is immigrant or not, but Melbourne imports absolutely huge numbers of international students, a large portion of whom come from Asian countries and who have grown up in a country where smoking is not the social-taboo it is among millennial Australians.

Among older generations, I don't see the same marked divide. Older Australians smoke much more frequently than their younger counterparts.

As a side note: I don't know a better way to separate out Australian-born "Australians" who may be of any race, including Asian, from "international students from Asia", so if any of my phrasing comes across smelling even slightly offensive please let me know.

I suspect this person would not agree with that.
'db1' vs. 'db2' is still insufficiently clear, though. Even better would be e.g. to name development systems after planets and production systems after superheroes. Very few people would mistake 'superman' for either 'green-lantern' or 'pluto,' but it's really easy to mistake 'sfnypudb13' for 'sfnydudb13.'
I think it's important to note that all of these methods have been largely superseded by deep learning techniques. For example, we can now directly learn algorithms such as gradient descent[1] and classical inverse problems like superresolution are solvable with deep networks [2]. While there still may be a role for tools like CVX, I anticipate all future progress will come from end-to-end differentiable systems.

tmux is a terminal multiplexer - if you have ever used the `screen` command you already know what it is.

I use a macbook pro with iterm2, and I prefer to use a terminal multiplexer instead of tabs or the native screen split of iterm2.

If you ssh remote boxes a lot, it is very useful because you will not lose your session in case of an occasional disconnection.
The answer is that many ML solutions are leaky abstractions. See: https://medium.com/@karpathy/yes-you-should-understand-backp...
Yea, I don't know nearly enough about these cases to have an opinion. But this is what strategic differential vigor would look like: lots of cases like that, slanted toward one party, with each case having a plausible justification, yet in aggregate being hard to defend. But I have no idea if there actually is such a slant (rather than there being a similar number of cases in the opposite direction).
Kefir can have a bit of alcohol in it as well. Not sure how much industrially produced kind has. But brewed at home would have some.
Don't forget in the US that they basically dumped IE (in the economic sense) on the market where Netscape Navigator still cost money and had no possible way of competing for free.

Also at the time web browsers were still relatively new. Today basically every device and operating system comes with one, it's expected. No one ever complained that Microsoft with shipping calculator or solitaire.

To whatever degree there might be a case against Apple (which I don't really see) there are some pretty significant differences from the Microsoft case 20 years ago.
Wasn't the previous Canadian prime minister at least as xenophobic as Trump? (e.g., they revoked a bunch of dual citizens' Canadian citizenship)

What will prevent Canadians from out-crazying the US in the next major election?

(Honest question; Vancouver is a beautiful city, and presumably much less expensive than SF.)
It could go the other way around too. If these people consumed so much alcohol everyday since childhood, they probably built up a decent tolerance to its effects.
Go sleep man, shit happens
In reality it's the opposite that seems to be happening, red states becoming more metropolitan and turning blue. But what we saw with Trump was him winning traditionally blue states. Were those traditionally blue states being oppressive and sending their minorities to California?
It also allows you to "split" your terminal into multiple tabs, panes and windows, which makes it easy to hop back and forth between sessions in multiple environments. As others have said though the killer feature really is that you can run it on a remote machine and attach and detach at will.
They have to reapply through their new employer. The applications can fail.
They could, and as a stopgap measure that might work, but..

(1) Some of the collaboration features (e.g. work on Gitlab itself) depend on having everyone on the same instance.

(2) Gitlab.com gives them a nice dogfood-esque environment for what it's like to actually operate Gitlab at scale. If they are having problems scaling it, then potentially so are their customers. Fixing the root cause is usually a good thing and is often an imperative to avoid being drowned in technical debt.

(3) It moves the problem in some respects. Modern devops techniques mostly allow the number of like servers to be largely irrelevant, but still.. the more unique instances of Gitlab, the more overhead there will be managing those instances (and figuring out which projects/people go on which instances).

It's a simple approach which I'm sure would work, but it also means a bunch of new problems are introduced which don't currently exist.
Basically, certain neural networks perform better at predicting different factors at different market conditions. You can string them together to get a decent trader, enough to make a profit, but not enough to justify hogging your GPUs.

See Microsoft CodePush and React Native for a counterexample: you can certainly publish apps which download code as long as they don't dramatically alter the functionality of the app.
There's a big difference between holding together things with duct tape, and literally taking zero backups of it.
Haha, eastwards rather than westwards.
I audibly gasped when I hit this part of the document.
Most apps are not complicated enough to warrant their own native code. Like your Android example, there used to be a time when almost everything was written with Windows APIs. Of course, some apps will always demand native tech, but most of our desktop apps are now delivered with open and standard technologies, and they work on every device or OS with a browser.

I think the mobile world will follow soon. When it does, control of the industry will be released from the two major players, and consumers will benefit from increased competition, just like it has for desktop software. So yeah, web-developer logic can put a smile on everybody's face. :-)

Magsafe protects the laptop. But more directly, it protects physical power port from damage and wear.

Again disproves your claim about "A ban on 7 Muslim-majority countries with exceptions for minority religions".

The "ban" is religion-blind. In the future, as refugee claims processing resumes, minorities can be prioritized; it does not "ban" with religion-specific exclusions altogether... now, or then.
Hypothetically speaking, one person can if the other persons are of the greedy kind and believe that blind obedience will get them more green now and/or in the future. Not saying it is so but as Trump still has his companies he can (try to, but most people have their price) bribe whoever to do whatever. Especially if he picked them for that reason. Just in person over a few beers and pay out in 4 or 8 years when he is just a business man again.

"removed a permanent military presence from the NSC"

This is a reference to Trump downgrading the Joint Chiefs of Staff (as well as the director of national intelligence) from the principals committee of the NSC. Rather than attending every meeting, they'll only be asked to attend if the topic of discussion pertains to their area. They're no longer permanently in attendance: just occasionally.

Does Google use off the shelf drives like these guys?
Most of the other comments mention that you can split your screen into tabs and panes. But by far the most important feature of gnu-screen or tmux is the ability to have a shell session running even when you're not logged in. So you can use tmux to start a shell session and run a script(say a command line IRC client) and leave it running. Next you'll just 'detach' from your tmux session and can logout. Your irc client or any number of scripts you started from your tmux session will still be running. You can relogin later and 'attach' to that session and you'll continue where you left off. Infact you can start a tmux session on the server in the office, detach/logout and go home and attach to the same exact screen from home, that you left in the office.

Not to mention you can share your command line shell session/screen with other people!!
Karpathy was offered in excess of a million out of school, I'm going to assume that you don't know what you're talking about.

I'll tell you why: the ownership experience. I like a lot of things about Android, but the ownership experience is a key differentiator for me.

I've had Nexus phones and iPhones, and I like the software on both. But when I drop my iPhone and crack the screen, as I did several months ago, I can go to one of several Apple stores near me and get a replacement in about 15 minutes from polite, well-trained employees. That service also extends to OS and security updates for many years instead of just one or two.

The new Pixel phones cost more than $600, which puts them roughly in the iPhone price range. I certainly would not pay that much for something that is so important to my daily life if I had to ship it somewhere to get it repaired, possibly being without a phone for several days while I wait for it to come back. It won't run the latest OS after two years, either.

It's the same reason a lot of people buy Lexuses instead of Toyotas -- you are treated better when you need service, you get a nice loaner car instead of a ride home in a minivan shuttle, etc.

In general, as I've gotten older, I have learned that paying for service is just as important as paying for features. I sometimes buy things with features I don't really need in order to access the better service experience.
Somewhat related, there was an NPR interview recently and it had proper Colombians as well as some an American sympathetic to Colombian "campesinoes" who spent some time there.

The Colombians were pretty positive about the surrender by the FARC. They spoke about FARC and its tactics which affected many thousands of Colombians. The US sympathizer would "correct" actual Colombians about their understanding and always implicate the US in a negative way. Some people just need to have an anti-something slant to things, no matter what.
For imported stuff definitely. I wouldn't want to have a coke habit here. Weed seems as cheap as anywhere else though.
Don't forget the speed difference between the MBP SSD and a normal SATA SSD. The MBP uses NVMe and super-fast flash chips.

That one repair dude with the 4+ hour YouTube videos that's always bashing Apple did a Razer Blade/MBP comparison video and the MBP disk transfer speeds blew the Razer out of the water.

I agree the MBP is super ridiculously expensive, but no one for a second should think there's an alternative in any price bracket.

The entire reason we have our healthcare system is so that a long and high quality life is an option for the population. It seems pretty apparent to me that most people aren't optimising for either though. No reason to get paternalistic with it.
I've heard it before, but I don't have a source either. I wouldn't be surprised to see some mention of it in a Wired article.
> There is learning from a catastrophic fuck up, and then there is incompetence.

We all start at incompetence, but eventually we — wait for it — learn from our experiences. Would you believe that Caesar, Michael Jordan and Steve Wozniak once were so incompetent that they couldn't even control their bowels or tie their shoes? They learned.

Is it possible that the guys in the team running GitLab's operations were misplaced? Certainly — that's a management issue. And I can guar-an-tee you that GitLab now has a team of ops guys who viscerally understand the need for good backups: they'd be insane to disperse that team to the winds.
Iterm2 also has a nice tmux integration. You can connect to a session but use native tabs and panes. It even works on remote servers over ssh. You just add a '-CC' arg. (You may also have to enable it in the prefs, don't remember for sure)
People don't pick whether God exists.
The news is infinite though. Inconvenient news could be left out, and that would still meet your standard.

There is also the matter of the English language having numerous ways to express the same thing. Choice of words matters, even if the cold facts don't change.

The certificate holders may be competing for the same jobs, though I really doubt they'd get one over PhD candidates unless there was something they had done substantially at least as interesting as an ML/AI PhD holder, or I guess if the company absolutely can't find anyone with higher qualifications.

And I think what I perceive as your doubts as to landing a job with one of these are probably founded. This is a way for the university to make a bunch of cash. As long as that happens, whether students get a related job or not is not important to the university except to help with marketing to prospects.
