I don't think it's fully there yet, but I really disagree that it's more convenient to use a phone app than a Google Home. Alexa is worse here since skills are clunky, and while I agree that voice isn't the best setup in bedrooms with multiple people, it's definitely easier to say "Hey Google, open catflap" than futzing with a phone.

For me, simply being able to turn my TV + soundbar on/off with Google Home + IFTTT + Harmony Hub, while being a stupid amount of duct tape, has made me no longer need to hunt for where the TV or sound bar remote are any more. Being able to pause/resume shows on my Roku with the same setup avoids me having to get my phone out, unlock it, open the Roku app and press the pause button. It's pretty convenient. Is it life changing? No. Could I just stop losing the remotes? No :p

I have also found myself listening to a lot more music with the google home since I can just turn it on with my voice when I crawl out of bed. Not sure if that's a good fit for metal of any kind though.

I don't think it's truly life changing, few things are, but well executed voice control is truly convenient.
Maybe a photo app should be created that pretended to be the camera and would mash up faces, mix parts of old photos and recorded images of deep learning "dreams" and passed them off as photos to help poison the fb database
Making a kernel as a hobby doesn't put anyone in danger. And using a kernel someone else wrote as a hobby doesn't tend to put anyone in danger, either, because it's very clear when a kernel was written as a hobby (mostly because you can [almost] never run common commercial software on such kernels — a hobbyist kernel with Illumos-like "branded zones" supporting Windows or Linux software would be a very dangerous beast, if someone wrapped it up into a black box.)

To contrast, writing crypto as a hobbyist isn't dangerous, but using someone else's bad crypto can be dangerous indeed—because it's almost never clear that the crypto within the software you're using was written by a hobbyist.

People can learn crypto all they like. In private, sharing their learning with peers and/or mentors. But their "homework projects" should never be posted on the public Internet where they could be found by people looking for professional solutions, any more than a chemistry student's homework project of devising a work-up for making non-volatile explosives with volatile intermediaries should be posted on the public Internet where it might be treated as a safe, well-known procedure for doing so.
By "Google/Facebook millionaire hopeful" I'm referring to founders/early employees that are trying to build a company with Google or Facebook's level of financial success and get rich on equity.

Google pays enough to get your own apartment on less than 50%, sure, but I don't think Google is making people millionaires anymore, except the slow way (401k savings).

Plain solenoids, pneumatics or hydraulics would work fine.
Part of it is incentives to do so by the demand side. Why is chinese wealth fleeing from china? Because they don't feel stable & safe to do so in china. NYC & SF money is more likely to flow into austin because of the relatively recent price spikes in their local areas and so on. These expensive place export their own problems in a sense.

Seems like it can't be that hard to use that native code you wrote in your test in the react-native app though. Write the final image to disk. Load the image in an image view. Never pass the data through the JavaScript bridge.
While I also like Lisp syntax, it's nowhere close to the power of SGML as a text format. SGML gives you regular type checking and inference of omitted tags, injection-free content transclusion, user-defined Wiki syntax, parametric template expansion, and pipelined, automaton-based processing/styling. I've just published my slides/paper on this topic at http://sgmljs.net/blog.html .
Put your dotfiles under version control. Open a repository for them on github. A complete personal install on a fresh box is just useradd and git clone away. Two commands to paradise.

As pointed out in paip, clarity and concision are at odds. It takes good taste to balance the two.
iTerm works with Cmd-[0-9] just fine.
These claims have very little in common with the facts on the ground. A Google engineer can afford a condo five miles away in Sunnyvale ($700k), or a house ($1M) if they have a partner earning decent money too. These prices are absurd, and untenable for regular people who don't work in tech, but let us be realistic. Those are the prices because there are people paying them.
Interesting bit on the authorities viewing him as a counterfeiter. I'd guess that if parties are willing, and none are misrepresenting the note as currency, it's alright and a transaction of goods/services in exchange for art. His Wikipedia article [1] profiles a few cases where he ended up arrested - interesting. I suppose in some cases, like the waitress example in the article - the waitstaff may not be able to legally accept the fake note on behalf of the establishment (so hopefully the waitstaff would put one of their own $10 in the register...)

Further, I suppose, there's an argument for counterfeiting of bills being legally interpreted simply as their production even without the misrepresentation bit. This'll lead me on a merry chase, I'm sure.

No one needs to be put anywhere. The government will never force social integration; it will always stratify. Do you take your family to stay at America's Best Value Inn, maybe saving $30? I don't; I'll pay the extra for a non-seedy place. If the government starts handing out $30 vouchers, those who can afford it will kick out another $30 to avoid that place. That's just the way it is.

It's why some people shop at Target instead of Walmart. They sell the same shit, but people pay a little extra to avoid the depression of Walmart.

Same with Costco vs Sams Club. Costco is like Sams, but without the tattoos.
Agreed. It's important to realize when you make your business rely on others services to diversify or have a backup plan if things go bad.

Len/Mathematics runs on Cuis Smalltalk. Which has the goal of being small and easy to understand and extend. So it should be to your liking.

I found the difference of the image with the book similar to little exercises to test what I had learned so far.

Also being able to easily introspect the code of what you are interacting with is what makes Smalltalk easily discoverable in my experience.

Disclaimer: I only dabble with Smalltalk every now and then.
There definitely are! But they aren't the ones who have to really worry about getting their assets (and eventually asses) out of China.

There are plenty of people who have built their empires via guanxi, bribery, and lots of untaxed grey money. Those are the ones that are a bit more worried about the government turning against them (because there is plenty of ammunition).
People often downgrade their housing type before they start paying more for housing if they can. Ex: Live with room mates, live in a studio vs a 1 or 2 bedroom with their partner, etc.
Along the course of those 20 years will be 20 years' worth of property tax, home insurance, and maintenance that renters will largely not incur on top of rent (it is arguably built into the rent, of course).

The owner is not "saving" $480K, but a sum quite a bit smaller than that, likely around 20-40%.

That may just be misplaced energy. If you can't study but you can sit there practicing guitar or working on a hobby coding project for hours, you are certainly capable in a physical sense. But your mind cannot say "I will do my homework with identical enthusiasm to my guitar practice" and just have it happen. That is where the mythical aspect of willpower manifests and people do all sorts of things to try to make it work like that, but most people, I think, end up finding a substance to use that blunts their thinking in a particular way that helps them stay on task. That could be caffeine, or alcohol, or pot, or Adderall. Other people try to build elaborate social obligations with study groups and use of office hours. But the biggest success tends to be from getting the intrinsic motivations in place, the "I want to know what happens next" factor and those are never easy to find. Sometimes you just have to start from zero and do something very simple and low energy like washing dishes before you can access a higher level of concentration, and then quickly use that moment of concentration to make a breakthrough.
Its likely just a topic of interest. The frequency of submitting is not very high. Judge the piece on its merits.
Radiation doesn't prevent machinery from operating it can prevent electronics from operating. A lot of the existing tools for moving around highly radioactive things are hydraulically activated mechanisms. The other issue is with the heat generated, which if it is too high will weaken structures and potentially trigger exothermic reactions (fires) which would not have started otherwise. There are a number of good articles on the machinery used in fuel reprocessing which can deal with this level of radiation.
Yeah, as someone who has used Facebook for advertising, what they're doing is pretty obvious and not really that nefarious IMO. When I set an ad, I get to say "I want people within 10 miles of this zip code who like dogs, shopping, sports, and breweries" and Facebook limits my ads to only that subset of people. I don't get a list of their names, I don't even know who they are. They just see my ad and I'm charged $1.

Whenever someone asks "what nefarious thing is this company doing with my data?" the answer is rarely "something really, really bad!". Rather, it's almost always "trying to sell you something".

I'm also from Florida, and I agree with the parent poster. Spent a lot of time on the East Coast (Cocoa Beach, and Miami area mainly), and there is plenty of free parking. Even close to downtown Miami (Virginia Key, for example) has some free parking.

That being said, we have some beautiful state parks in Florida (great springs, rivers, camping etc) which charge entrance fees. Some parks have a once-a-year "free day", and it's great to see so many people out and enjoying the outdoors. Not at all like the "beach version of public housing", as one commentor rudely claimed above.

Justin, XLA sounds interesting. Do you assume you always have CUDA sources for ML operations in XLA? I was under the impression that closed-source libraries like cuDNN were used.

Is it possible to accurately evaluate the profitability of fusing two kernels in CUDA (effects of increased register pressure; shared memory)? On the other hand, the generic kernel and its launch parameters were probably hand tuned for performance.
Yeah, this is a good approach. I have memorized how to set up three settings for vim I just have to have, but I can usually do that in less than a minute.
Millionaire doesn't just buy themselves a house. They also buy houses for their children! One of my colleagues at work just bought a house for her daughter, all cash, in Piedmont where every house costs more than a million bucks. She's a mid-level software developer, nothing remarkable or extraordinary but she has that kind of money.

As someone who once was outbid by an all-cash offer on a house in Piedmont I had to sort of grit my teeth over that one.
FYI: I made this. One of the best side effects of this extension is that an HTML5 video download button is now present. Also, because the video element itself is not hidden behind a transparent div, you can right click the video and "Save to Google Drive" if you have that extension too.
Keep your dot files in github. Grab them. No internet, I bet you have them on your laptop that you are ssh'd to the server from. SCP them over. Heck, cut and paste them if needed. If things are so bad nether of these work you have bigger issues and need to consider a design with some redundancy. Clos fabrics and VM/containers and if you have to have bare metal then you should have more then one (cluster or behind a SLB).

There is no excuse for a single point of failure in 2017. Not trying to sound like an ass but....

You did say it was years ago, so what I said seems to be true for today, no judgment on your situation years ago. My first major shit, got to fix it was on Solaris 2.51 so that shows my age.

This is exactly the same problem as the UK housing market.

Mortgage loans typically have 2-10 year periods of discount or fixed rate (with the lowest interest rates normally found on the 2 year plans), then they revert back to the 'standard variable rate' which is significantly more expensive, and subject to change at very short notice. To keep a low interest rate you have to reapply for your mortgage every few years to get a new deal, and with reapplication comes the requirement to have a certain percentage of equity to loan.
I don't think the rental and ownership markets are that segregated. If buying a house costs less than the expected value of renting it out for a while, a smart investor would buy that house and make it a rental.

There's a huge amount of demand to live here. The price level has to rise until only the number of people who can fit in the housing stock are coming in. We could have no inward migration, but I don't think we could have a large number of people without money moving in - how would we decide who gets a home and who doesn't, if not by raising prices?
So far I've found all your articles on Medium valuable, great for someone who's involved in the startup community! Keep up the good work.
Lending is pretty lax, just like it's been in spots all over the planet for over a decade.
Every place's situation is different.

In vancouver with $60k/yr average incomes and a decent enough willingness to build, it's housing-as-bank foreign money. You see it even more with rent & housing price ratios being out of wack.

In the bay area with strong anti-building NIMBYs, prop 13 , a tech boom and some foreign housing-as-bank money leads to it's high prices. You see it in how housing prices and rent is pretty even in many cases. The places in the bay area that don't have fairly even rent/buy ratios are the ones who probably have money being imported.

A friend of mine pointed out how there seems to be about a $2 million limit in housing liquidity in palo alto now since there was a law passed that required that sources of cash have to be disclosed for housing that is over $2 million. You can often see housing liquidity bands too in the '1 tech worker salary' & '2 tech worker salary' limits, mortgage lender down payment behavior and what not.
Both good questions. In the case of Chernobyl there is the whole building around it (the sarcophagus) which does dust containment. That said, it might a workable idea to grind it into dust and vacuum out the dust into containment vessels. (easier to transport from the dismantling point to containment.) Depending on how warm it is I wonder if you could spray it with epoxy to coat/encapsulate dust.
It was a long time before aircraft designers figured out how to stop the hydraulics from leaking. My dad (a P51 driver) said you could always tell where a P51 had parked due to the slick it left behind.

The trouble was they just didn't have good materials for the seals. Things have gotten a lot better in that department.
Looks nice and useful. Time saver over repetitive curl commands.
And the rest of the creative suite...?
The tech industry is highly cyclical. There's been a crash in 1999, and there's been another one in 2007 (along with the rest of the economy). There's no reason why it can't happen again. I'm sure that Bay Area housing prices are a good proxy for the state of the industry. If you're a techie and you don't have a way to stick it out through the next downturn, don't buy a house here.
In terms of how they will most likely be used, it seems Go will primarily serve as an alternative to Python, and perhaps non-mission-critical C to the extent that exists. Rust will serve as an alternative to most C.
You can't build a new house that way. I've lived in some very old places where the underlying electrical system is absolutely terrifying, i.e. AC wires wrapped in waxed paper.

I also believe the poster is in the UK. Older homes use a ring system where the breaker is at each outlet and there is one main breaker for the entire house, there is no breaker panel in the American/European sense.
"You can have tmux panes and split panes that are (and behave like) regular terminal panes and tabs."

What's the advantage of that exactly?
Indeed, the name and their use in sci-fi settings trips people up into thinking they are some weird theoretical construct.

Medical imaging is a place where positrons are used in everyday life. Specifically, PET imaging or positron emission tomography in which a tracer dye is injected into the body. The tracer is usually biologically active, so that it is taken up in different amounts by different tissues. The tracer emits positrons which annihilate when they meet an electron and produce gamma rays which are then used to image tissue.
But... why? When? How? I joined Facebook in 2006 when it opened to the public and it never asked for my social security number. Did they used to ask that prior to 2006? I mean, "people just submitted it" only works if it was asked for. Unless we're presuming people posted their SSNs on their wall for their friends to see.

I really doubt that's the case.
Military planes are always overloaded. WW2 aircraft needed every inch of runway, and any hiccup in any engine in the first few minutes of flight was certain doom for the aircrews (given that it was barely flying, and overloaded with bombs and fuel).

As someone from Vancouver: ...hahahahahaha oh wait you were serious. Let me laugh even louder.

House price inflation hasn't gone down in the slightest, especially not if you consider the greater vancouver area, which is where everyone's been driven off to, and consequently has become a metric that has to be considered when talking about "Vancouver" house prices. Those people are now also getting driven out of the GVA because the price increase over the last five years despite being "neighbouring city" was in the order of ~4%, ~4%, ~4%, ~4%, and then suddenly thanks to Vancouver proper, 30+%
My biggest question is why are they still using screen when sshing?
I thought about that shortly after posting my comment. I could still see it being used by consumers for low quality videos, or maybe for medium quality depending on how much can be salvaged from software stabilization. But then just thinking about the weight alone for decent cameras and how much more they weigh than this entire platform!

I see it mostly as a cool research project right now. Like most research projects it will likely never see mass commercialization, but it's still really cool. And maybe something they learn from this will be useful for something else entirely.

I also actually know one of the professors who worked on this, as he taught my first programming course way back when. He just loves to build cool robots.

I'm going to try to keep this brief in the hope that it will come off as a few things worth responding to, rather than just signaling:

1. If you haven't read Jane Jacob's "Death and Life of Great American Cities", it's so important that it's almost worth putting everything else about this project on hold. It offers explanations of why people flee areas, the mechanics of slum formation and revival, and a lot of other things that would give you a different perspective.

2. On a national level, probably the best action we could take against disjointed, segregated housing and towns would be to entirely rid ourselves of FHA loans. They make it extremely difficult for small-scale developers to compete with rent-seeking speculators who build huge buildings and complexes. For problems with those places, refer back to (1).

3. The article you cited about Atlanta mentioned that whites are moving into the city center and into exurbs, while blacks are moving to the places in between. This looks to me like two different patterns. The first is the resurgence of cities you see all across the country. The second is that suburban whites are fleeing the 1st and 2nd generation suburbs in favor of new ones. The inherent instability and insolvency of these car dependent subrubs mean that you can only do well in them if you stay ahead of the wave of decay that comes as maintenance bills come due and stores move out. For more about this Ponzi scheme, I recommend Strong Towns (strongtowns.org).

As I hopefully implied earlier, I'd be happy to dive deeper if anything here piqued your interest.
I haven't used it, but there's a plugin which allows for this behavior: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect
Yes! This is what I like about JSX/React - you're actually writing the markup as function calls/data structure so invalid syntax is immediately obvious as missing a closing parentheses for a function call.
Maybe this is your opportunity to create "SilkOdyssey's Badass Image Picker for RN, now with less crashy". It seems like you're partway there already. Maybe fork or PR the one you're using.
During the presentation at Git Merge Microsoft mentioned that the are hiring Linux and osx driver experts. This suggests that they plan to release the fuse driver themselves.
