As someone who went to college for digital imaging technology I would say that's not strictly true, crop on a sensor actually has some advantages, for example if you have a 50 1.2 and you can't afford the 85 1.2 you can put the 50 on an APS-C, and in many instances that is cheaper than the second lens, none of the other points you made apply specifically to full frame cameras either.

I think the irrelevant CS problems are an okay test to see someone's style and thought process where they shouldn't be too worried about solving the problem (they should have at least a meager basis of understanding to begin with) and can spend time cleaning up, and preparing their thoughts for presentation. I think this is fine as one of multiple measures.

I graduated from CS, and the only reason I knew anything at all about how to handle multi-tier architecture is because I was employed previous to my graduation. How do you keep configuration from being a mess? Hard coded values all over the place, etc. CS courses give you the theory needed for getting started down a path of understanding, but it does not make you understand, nor does it actually prepare you for the real world. Data structures are one thing, micro services, unit testing, configuration management, dependency injection, and persistent storage are beasts all unto themselves.
That XKCD is a joke and not how frequentists view statistics.

The confusion comes from the way you read papers. A frequentist looks at a paper as evidence but not truth. Bayesian on the other hand gets to the same place with slightly different math.

One thing I hate about chatbots vs. apps is that I have to keep using the "help" function when I forget what input I need to use to get something out of it. Well designed apps are much better at educating people what they do than a blank chatbot. In my opinion desktop apps are for more advanced users than apps and apps are for more advanced users than intended or imagined users of chatbots.

I guess we have different definitions of bonding then, because that just sounds like regular drinking to me. In my opinion a bond is forged through some meaningful connection or meaningful shared experience. I just don't find knocking pints back to be meaningful experience. Its a bond that lasts until the pub closes. I say this as someone who drinks as well.
Then would they not leak proof of that, if it existed?

Wait, what is the bannon connection to Russia? That's new to me.

Also, we would be led to believe that putin spent all this time and effort getting his boy in and now is just going to give up on him within a month?

I would ask for a source on that but considering it's nigh impossible for the west to get reliable intel (That dossier was quite something) out of Russia I'm not sure how much it would matter.
The H tag would replace the H1 tags in all your SECTIONs. You're not using H2-6 in there at all, so what do we need the "1" on the end of H1 tags for? That seemed to be the crux of this article, we don't need numbered headings like that anymore because we have semantic block-level elements like SECTION, HEADER, etc. These elements can be used by the browser to deduce a structured outline from the page, and it's also easier to use said elements when you can think of them as portable components (without resorting to setting CSS classes on everything).

The truth is, H1-H6 were useful to screen readers when the web was a lot less complicated. With the component-driven philosophy of today's web development, it's harder to maintain that structure and stay within the confines of 6 possible headings, especially for single-page designs (the ones that scroll, not "single-page apps" made entirely with JS).
No excuse now, Intel . Get to it.
To be clear, no species of honey bee is native to North America. They were brought here by Europeans after 1600.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_bee#Origin.2C_systematic...

North American has other types of bees, but they are not nearly as suitable for industrial pollination, and to my knowledge they are not effected by colony collapse disorder.

Whether the industrial monoculture model is robust, or could be improved, is certainly an interesting question, but it's not a matter of nature conservation.
Introducing Qt 3D Studio
These old dongles are a joke. The Sentinel Rainbow parallel port dongle for example is merely a "secure" key store that is unlocked using a key with a whooping length of 16 bits and it uses the "ultra secure" XOR encryption algorithm. The advertised code encryption essentially boils down to having parts of the binary being XOR-ed with some key and to decrypt it, that part of the program would be sent to the dongle and the decrypted text sent back and the program image in memory modified. To make things more difficult the same memory region would be re-used for different texts (who needs re-entrancy anyway).

Long story short: This thing does XOR and all caveats of XOR apply. Like XOR-ing the ciphertext with the plaintext will yield the key. So cracking these things boils down to extracting the key and either emulating the dongle or decrypting the "protected" parts of the program and placing them in the binary in the clear.

I'd be surprised if your fathers program used something more sophisticated than that.

I'm surprised they didn't mention Looker as an alternative (I have zero association with the company). They also missed R. yes it is just a language but its impressive growth and tools make it a compelling alternative.

I think the snowplow analytics guys (again zero association) have better and arguably more transparent/honest documentation. Particularly the whole end to end complete process.

One of the reasons people like Excel (besides the obvious ubiquity of that software) is that they don't have to put their data on some other service. Some even feel it is more secure (this is perhaps somewhat false). That beings said I don't know if I would ever trust a company hosting all my data collection/warehouse needs like the authors of this blog. They might not do anything bad with the data but they sure do have a lot of leverage on you once you completely rely on them.

The other thing is the proprietary data visualization/calculation companies will come and go. I bet Excel will still be here 20 years from now. That is why R and SQL are also good things to learn as well.
Setting Up Sublime Text 3
Heading styles (whether in HTML or word processors) have long been a source of annoyance for me, because they constantly have to be redone.

Current models all follow the top-down approach -- assume you know your top sections when you start (H1), then drill down into H2, H3, etc.

But just as often you want to do bottom-up -- start with a short article with a single heading (H1), then add a sibling section (turn both H1's into H2's, add the "real" H1), then put those both under a larger section (H2's become H3's, H1's turn into H2's, new H1), and so on.

Any manual choice of heading levels is just dumb, frankly. <h> is a great solution -- I just want to see something similar for word processors as well!
I'm fairly certain there was something wrong with the motor. The fact that the support rep told me it had to build pressure... and wouldn't just default to, "Let's RMA it!" is the real issue. $400 vacuum that supposedly had a 5-year warranty but no clue what the warranty actually covered after talking to their support team.

Costco though, I know a store isn't thought of as a product, but the fact you can return anything there -- no questions asked -- that's really nice! I started having issues with the vacuum 2-4 months into owning it (the hose disconnecting all the time was the first issue), returned it to Costco about a year after I bought it.
I'd say it's like smelling smoke. If your team can't even agree on a standard indent and stick to it, and you haven't got a linter which picks it up, what else are they missing?
Bamboo steamers. First one I found: https://www.amazon.com/2017-Reusable-Chopsticks-Perforated-S...

They usually are dirt cheap, and allow you to steam any kind of food. It's healthy, it's tasty, it's easy, it's fast, ... Just drop whatever in it and wait 15 minutes and that's it.
Honestly the cheaper ones are just fine. As you add more features, you add more complexity. Mine was like $50 and the interface is great. If you want to set the power, mash that key a few times until it gets to the desired level. Then press Start to go for 30 seconds, keep pressing Start to add 30 seconds to the running timer. If you need a specific time, you can type that in with the number keys, but I almost never do that. That's it. It's a microwave. Fifty bucks. Bought it at Macy's. Cool.

Sorry, but that is simply not correct. You can implement a fully standard-compliant web browser by just implementing the ClearKey option. That has no patents associated with it.

It is likely a much better issue that H.264 is the dominant video standard used, and that requires paying licensing fees.

Great question - we invented a system for this at Snowplow, called SchemaVer:

http://snowplowanalytics.com/blog/2014/05/13/introducing-sch...

SemVer doesn't work for data - for one thing, there is no concept of a "bug" in your data (so patches are meaningless).

We have hundreds of companies actively using SchemaVer via the Snowplow (https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/) and Iglu (https://github.com/snowplow/iglu/) projects.
I'd also point out the possibility that Uber HR has no power... or upper HR management (formerly Renee Atwood, now Liane Hornsey?) is complicit.

They have a management chain just like everyone else, and if the person at the top (or the person above them) says "We're not going to discipline this guy" then the best HR can do is try to deescalate the situation.

English is my second language as well, but here goes:

Take the first one as an example since it refers to both the third person and first person asking something:

> "He then asked if I had any questions for him. I’ve asked if they had any plans to make thing better for the drivers."

The former is simply past tense, while the latter is present perfect.

You generally write a text in one tense. It doesn't have to be present, it doesn't have to be past, but once you settle with one it's best to stick to it.

Past tense as it suggests indicates something happened in the past. Present perfect on the other hand indicates that something has been done, but either continues in the present, or the effects of which are still present.

It's not as much about being inherently incorrect as it is about being coherent. Best practices if you wish.

I hope the answer is yes! My doctor recently ran tests showing that my mildly high cholesterol and glycemic index have become a worse. Rather than go on prescription medicines, I started the Eat to Live diet a week ago. This diet initially eliminates all oils, meat, dairy, sugar that is not in whole fruit, and in general no processes foods. All the veggies, beans, and whole fruit that you want with also lots of seeds, nuts, etc., with a strong emphasis with getting a lot of Omega 3 fat in the diet. After 6 weeks, then the diet lightens up a bit. I felt like crap the first 4 days of the diet, but now am feeling great. This food is starting to taste very good also, which surprised me.

EDIT: I should add that this diet contains a very wide variety of foods, but they are all plant based.
I had one of those. My issue with it was the knob went up to an hour, and was very hard to set at sub-minute intervals. So 30 seconds, or 90 seconds were very approximate. The "add 30 second button" is the only button I really need. Since a microwave can do a lot in a minute, a knob that doesn't allow accuracy within a minute isn't my first choice.
> 2. Vim It was a bold design concept to use 'modes', but it makes it so much more productive.

Vim got modal editing from vi, which stole it from Bravo...in 1976.

And actually, the "insert" mode was the innovation - previous editors were completely command-driven, being designed for use on teletype machines, where you could not have a usable "edit/append" mode.

Another issue is that there is a massive difference between casually knowing excel formulas and being familiar with power query/power pivot/etc cetera.

Counter argument: there is no point putting money in a rice cooker. Get the cheapest and smallest one (unless you're cooking rice for 6+ people) and you will get exactly the same result. The only annoying thing with these cheaper rice cooker is that you need to unplug them when done, but I bought a switch to sit between the socket and the plug and it works fine :)
Most photographers take a prolific amount of pictures

Digital cameras are a wonderful thing!

A good mirrorless could take most of these shots as well, though I suspect by the time you installed a lens long enough for the wildlife shots[1], it wouldn't be much lighter than the DSLR.

1 - I didn't check the EXIF data, but assume he was using at least 200mm, probably longer, for those shots.
Maybe it's because I play a lot of games, but I don't know why four identical shaped buttons would be bad. I never press A and think I'm pressing B because they are the same shape. It's not clear to me why you think different shaped buttons is inherently better.
Who needs a Xeon now? The only chink in the armour here is the 64GB max, which admittedly is bad for the science/Machine learning folks, but the vast majority of these chips is used for databases, web serving, app serving, etc, for which these ECC-enabled Ryzens are a game changer on price. Cluster them up on premises or in cloud, and you're looking at a total winner, especially that the 16GB dimms are still much cheaper than the 32s so you'll be able to create very decent servers on the cheap.

Shopping at Aldi. They display all their groceries on the same pallets they use for storage, and they're ruthless about cutting down cost and shopping time.

Can I infer that they won't be doing launches that require high-end fuel usage? Are they just giving up on those types of use cases, or do they have another solution for those moving forward?

Considering the Media started with 15 intel agencies all saying this was the case and ended only being 3 agencies in the final report with 1 in particular (The NSA) only claiming "moderate confidence" (60%).

The NSA would seem like they would be the best placed to know who did it, yet they gave it just above a coin toss in probability? I believe the intel agencies were more confident about WMD's in Iraq than this "ample evidence".

The leaks serve several good purposes:
- They help remove questionable public officials.
- They show government officials what it's like to have no private conversation (strong encryption).
- They show both the public and government officials that government cannot be trusted to keep secrets. (Even the President is unable to prevent his own government from revealing detrimental secrets.)
