Yeah, The Art of Electronics does a great job at covering the practical side of transistor choices and some of the trade-offs involved.
Huh, my experience with the Vive and a good rig (i7, 32gb ram, gtx1080, etc) has been fluid and easy to use. More useful for tweaking props in my levels than "creating" things, but there are serious opportunities (and some good starts) to sane VR user interfaces. Even if they can just nail using twirl gizmos for fine tuning integer inputs would ripple out and be useful in the 3DS Max / After Effects / video editor / whatever VR software of the future.
Uber boss quits Trump advisory board
I misunderstood. my apologies.
Also quite expensive in terms of trailing sales multiple.

> Twitter went public at valuation around 30x trailing year sales and 15x forward year sales. At $25 billion, Snap would be valued at a huge 62x trailing sales.

> Assuming they could reach $1 billion of revenue in 2017, the 25x multiple would still be steep relative to the two predecessors.

History probably plays a role, and that some of the people they'll encounter will be legally armed, perhaps animal control. Their job is more than just checking fishing licenses.
No, you flaunt the markers. Bespoke suit, or super-huge gold jewellery and a L-L-Lamborghini, depending on your clientele.
yeah I must say the team does a great job, I was thinking the same thing
You seem to be assuming that all of googles revenue is going back into hardware/backend investments, and that somebody using Google cloud offerings is getting full access to everything they are investing in.

Neither have any basis in reality.
US aid to Israel is about 1% of Israel's GDP.
Arguably Israel might be better off without the aid, the aid killed a large part of Israel's defense industry and it restricts the technology they can transfer to secondary markets such as China and India.

One should also note that most of that money isn't actually given as cash, only a few 100's of million of the 3 bln are direct cash allocations intended to fund defense projects within Israel, the rest has to be spent on buying toys from US defense contractors.

So for the most part US aid to Israel is a US job program.
That stuff has very little to do with 90% of academia math. Also, if you specialized and are interested in a certain field of math, the barrier to switch to another field is enormous. On the other hand, 90% of the applied mathematics done in industry is much, much simpler, and very often a trivialized version of what you do in academia, so one could imagine switching to be possible, but what's the joy of doing that?

(I have a MS in Math, my field was algebraic geometry. I considered a career in math research, but the industry was paying too well for it to be a reasonable)
Absolutely. One shot learning is the cutting edge research towards building more human like AI. However its still in early phases. We are trying to make transfer learning directly usable to people trying to solve problems which is proven today. Hopefully we will be able to do the same with one shot learning.
How is it different from Azure ML and Microsoft Cognitive services?
It might be possible, but Snap could be constrained by engineering resources. Google has some super smart engineers and while Snap might be able to build something cheaper, that might mean pivoting your entire primary business to essentially compete with Google.
A message board comment like this is the only place in the world anyone believes there was a likelihood of a "Thiel presidency". Thiel's influence is in no way comparable to Bannon's.
It's a great piece of software. I use it in two projects both commercial platforms though not particularly big money makers.

The problem for me is I remain somewhat uncertain about the implications. If I use this within a service that requires payment from customers, it seems to me there is no change. And most software using this is likely to be delivered as a service right? Maybe I misunderstand the license.

In a way if the approach was more aggressive it would be easier for me. I could just go to the people that write the cheques and say: we use this software. New version requires payment. Write a cheque.

As it is I'm not sure whether we have to pay or not. As for donations - well I could make one personally (in fact I will) but it is unlikely to be 780 euros...

The authority asserted by President Trump in the executive order does not arise from the TTPA. It derives from INA (viz. 212(f) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) ). The fact that this order uses the country listed in TTPA does not negate the fact that the executive has asserted the authority to negate already existing visa from any country that they wish to. (Well technically they still have the visa, but what use is it if there is a blanket ban.)

In particular, nothing in TTPA barred entry to people who have helped American armed forces, or legally enrolled students from those country, which this order does. Again, not by authority of TTPA, but under INA. Taking the executive order at face value, the executive can ban any and all countries. The fact that they used the list from TTPA is political convenience.
I love this idea for keeping track of stuff you learn. Are you using some automated system, or just manually changing them?
You don't need to match their hardware. You need to match the subset of features and functionality their hardware provides to you. That is a much smaller footprint and smaller/specialized engineering problem.
If there's an adequate supplier, why take the risk and time to develop second-mover competition to them rather than just buying from them and building your core business?
Assuming that Trump is Hitler already makes foundation of your model wrong from the beginning. Hence logical conclusions taken from your wrong model is therefore, also wrong. You are working with a faulty model.
Totally agree, everybody in the industry knows about it. However if you look at https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=2014-01-01%202017... nobody outside seems to know. I might be wrong but a lot of people outside the ML community seem to be hesitant to using ml because they don't have enough data, trying to remove the misconception if it exists

Show HN: JavaScript template literals as viewing engine in Node.js
In the past I used Handlebars, Nunjucks for viewing engine. So far I happy with Nunjucks, but yesterday I thought maybe it's possible to use pure template literals (why not?) for backend rendering in Node.js.

I created this little Koa v2 demo app, where I made similar view file structure like if it was a Handlebars or Nunjucks templates. So far the biggest difficulty for me was to pass down a value from a router to a sub-component, without referencing that file in the router or another sub-views more than once in the entire app. Now I passing "down" the variables from the router file to the deepest referenced sub-component with an object in the function arguments.

Any Koa v2 or Express templating best practices are broken (ctx.state also), because not just the viewing engine, but also not in use any template rendering middleware, like koa-views.

Any suggestions are highly welcome!
They're both evil, but incompatible. Uber needs cheap illegals to keep driver costs down. That's not a good match to Trump's position.
>saying "it once was A, now it's B, so it can never be A again" is exactly as "prescriptivist".

Except I'm not telling you what you can say, I'm telling you what other people do say, which is descriptivist. You can use meaning A if you want to, but don't expect people to understand you.

>You know, if all those other people say they just say it because "most" people do, then none of them actually do have a reason.

That's like saying no one in the US has a reason to speak English, they're doing it just because everyone else does.

Language is about shared understanding, so most people around you using a particular meaning is pretty much the only reason for someone to use it.

>you can call it progress

I don't call it progress, just change.
I mean `class Database implements IPersist`, `class Redis implements ICache`, `class MyLogger implements ILogger`, etc.

So classes/interfaces to each service your app uses. I just use very basic autofac, declaring which implementations to use in code. (Really nothing I couldn't wire up by hand; autofac is just a tad less cumbersome).

I've heard about OCaml's module system and am intrigued by it but never used it.
there is no world where whoever just wants to study math can just go study whatever they want for as long as they want, regardless of how well they do it.

Certainly in Sweden, once you're in, you're basically free to hang around at University and study for as long as you want. It's not like they're going to kick you off campus.
From the text I'm not sure the idea really is to make the author money. If anything, presumably any code others contribute now will be copyleft, meaning if the patches are integrated and re-distributed by the author he can charge for distribution - but have to distribute under copyleft.

I also wonder how many corporations integrate and redistribute nodemailer; I'm sure there's a few - but I'm guessing most just use nodemailer. Apart from paranoid legal teams, the licence change shouldn't make any difference.

Now, someone distributing a firewall appliance using nodemailer for sending email alerts would have to provide customers with a copy of nodemailer source under copyleft - along with any changes. I still don't see why that would translate to payments to the author.
The open source version acts as advertising for the paid version. It also allows programmers to imagine that they will get paid (without even having to do "business stuff" like marketing) and get open source cred at the same time. This rarely works but the other open source business models never work, so it's the leader.

Aarch64 looks at first glance to be pretty dissimilar, but if you consider that its really a follow-on to THUMB2 it doesn't look as foreign. Also a lot of things appear different at first glance but aren't because they have basically been renamed.

Yeah, I agree with everything you said, but the parent (and other comments) mentioned using "their sleep tracking app", which to me would never be reliable.
The Golan Heights have been annexed by Israel, so you might call them conquered but not occupied.
The West Bank is occupied since Israel has never officially annexed it (with the exception of East Jerusalem and parts of the Jordan Valley), and Jordan who previously annexed it waved it's claim to that territory.
Founder of both Akka.NET and Proto.Actor here.
Right now, Proto.Actor-dotnet should not be trusted more than Akka.NET.

Akka.NET is production ready and has a huge community. has commercial support etc.
There are however a fair number of design issues that I dislike personally which led me to start Proto.Actor

The .NET implementation of proto.actor is in alpha version right now.
We are building and stabilizing the Go version first, which already is used in major production systems.

I'm looking for someone to lead the development of this platform. Here are some traits that define this person:

* Hungry to learn the details of an established and "old-fashioned" industry
* Excited by the prospect of improving someone's quality of life through automation
* Comfortable architecting and coding effective software solutions, actively participating in recruiting, and managing the same in others
* Inspired to bring economic prosperity to hard-working people across the country

If that sounds like you, or you'd like to help in another role, I'd love to speak with you.

Our current stack includes Ruby on Rails, iOS / Swift, .NET / C#, Javascript/CSS/HTML, and React Native.

"The greatest build-up of American-led military forces since the Second World War is well under way."

During WW2, Fletcher Prowty [0] told a story of surplus arms shipments making their way Vietnam in '45. Why? because of a coming war in Vietnam. The US supported the French in SEA I suspect under the "Truman Doctrine" [1] The French influence stopped in '54 when "Dien Bien Phu" fell. This is the pre-history of the US involvement in Vietnam.

I agree people should not be reactionary, but it doesn't not apply in this case.

Trump has been advocating these things for over a year and a half, to a far greater extreme and more brazenly than any major party candidate possibly ever. He has been acting on them since Election Day, including via appointing xenophobic, hateful people such as Steve Bannon to high positions, and with his actions post-inauguration. Over the same period Trump has also demonstrated an extreme unwillingness to listen to anyone, including people in his own government, in his own party and his own political allies.

If this was Trump's first day on the campaign trail, I'd agree. But at this point it's not at all reactionary to draw conclusions about Trump and to oppose him. What more evidence do we need? What more could he provide? We cannot wait for him to capture more ground and hurt more people in return for a very slim chance that he will suddenly change his personality, behavior and policies and listen to reason. This man has openly declared war on the values of much of America and the world; as his forces advance across the metaphorical landscape, should we stand back and try to negotiate Peace in our time?

I do think his stance on worker rights is wrong, but that's a separate issue.
It's an important milestone that pressure was effective. It's hard to tell whether it should hearten or disturb us that the least ethical caved first.

Under Obama if you got detained at an airport (which happened all the time, possibly every single day) no one gave a shit. Now apparently it's the end of the world as we know it.

My laptop fan is a bit of a noisy bugger, if I leave windows 10 for 5 mins it thinks idle and the the fan just starts going.

First I found that ngentask was repeatedly running 32-bit ngen and it's practically impossible to debug what's gone wrong so I've replace the ngen with a dummy exe.

But it still does it, now instead of ngen it's simply "System" constantly burning 20% cpu for whatever utterly pointless maintenance task it's decided on that's obviously broken.

It's just really frustrating, I swear that the "idle" mode of win 10 costs me far more money than actively using the laptop. And it's so hard to debug because as soon as the computer activates it stops whatever bullshit it was doing.

On my desktop I tried ripping out all the privacy invasive stuff and have somehow managed to break the start menu search.

I do like it more than Win 7, the startup time's great, but it's still really frustrating at times.
It's fine bro, I can see how my words could be misinterpreted.
I didn't actually read that part. If they only added 8MM DAU from June -> now, then it deserves to tank on its first trading day. Sounds like a decent short actually, once it cools down.

> Trump was previously exposed to a lot of intelligent people - Thiel, Kalanick, Musk, etc.

...And what concrete good was produced by that exposure? Intelligent (even well-informed) people don't produce better results just by exposing themselves to others, independent of those others intention and inclination not.just to passively bask in their flow, but actively engage.
Things scale differently in different markets and products... It might be trivial to spin up extra cloud capacity within Google's system and benefit from all the robustness and redundancy they've already designed out. Meanwhile, Amazon is building their own UPS competitor because their infrastructure needs in the real world are specialized enough to be able to benefit.

Each case is different and the details drive the decision.
> There's been some really good progress made on the tablet mode in Win10. It's not really apparent if you're using it as a Desktop OS.

It's very apparent to me, it puts itself back in tablet mode after every restart, it's a pain to get that slide out menu working with a mouse. I bet a lot of people unknowingly get stuck in it.
I seriously do think we have to get over the question of whether tech's leadership is ethical. It shouldn't be up to them. The market will eventually change, and we'll lose some of this influence. But in this moment, right, now, it's rank-and-file non-unicorn-founder developers like us who need to be stepping up.
I do think this is a good sign though. Perhaps others won't be so quick to silently disagree and there by leave the barn door open.

I don't think that contradicts the other comment.

Sure it does; "were all here on legal visas" is false.

That some of them overstayed or didn't meet the terms of their visas

Even those that did have legal paperwork all obtained it via fraudulent means by lying on their applications as to purpose of visit; technically speaking, none was here legally.
I think the viral spread of Uber hashtag -- and it was viral enough to show up in the remote corner of the world that is my Facebook graph almost immediately -- may be as much related to the way people feel about the sharing economy as the administration. Lyft had already hit on it with their "they use tips to buy people gifts" ad campaign. I suspect that Uber lost a significant amount of business.

I'd also be surprised if alignment with anti-Islamic politics was going over well with the Saudi sovereign wealth fund which has a billion bucks worth of seat at the table...even if it's intellectually interesting to imagine a Utopia where workers mattered mattered more in the direction of a corporation than capital interests.
