Well honestly you have to start with the science & physics. The 'model' (call it numerical weather prediction) is just a bunch of physics coded up and plugged in together. For instance you have a cloud parameterization model that describes cloud formation & precipitation, which interacts with a land surface model, which interacts with the ocean model etc...

These models are just computer code translations of physical equations mainly. You get an equation to model how air (fluid) moves, code it up, set up a numerical process to integrate over a small time step. Depending on how many assumptions you want to make the equation can be relatively simple or highly complex.

Much of that stuff has been standardized over a century. They weren't always that way on all cars.

For example, you cite the steering wheel as intuitive and obvious. It's actually not: in many early cars, there was no steering wheel. They had a "tiller" instead (a lever that you pushed from side to side to steer). There was a huge debate at the time over whether tillers or steering wheels were better. Obviously, the steering wheel won out, but if you could transport some people from 1895 to today, they'll complain that tillers should have been used instead.

The gear shifter is another example. If you drive a stick, you probably take it for granted that the gearshift is a lever in the middle between the seats. It wasn't that long ago that some cars and trucks had "3 on the column": the gearshift (manual transmission) was on the steering column. And automatic transmission gearshifts on the column persisted much longer than that; I think it took until the 90s for them to finally die out.

Turn signals aren't that obvious either; you're just used to them. My mom got a ticket in 1965 because her boss gave her his car keys to drive his car somewhere nearby. She had never driven a car before, only ridden as a passenger, but of course didn't tell him this because it would look really bad. She managed driving it ok (steering, gas), probably because she had watched others do it, but she screwed up with the turn signals and signaled the wrong direction for a turn while a cop was looking.

Most "intuitive" things aren't intuitive at all; people are just used to them because they're more or less standardized, and people have gotten used to them or have watched other people use them and learned that way. Take some primitive person from the Amazon rainforest who's never even seen a car and stick him in one (on a closed track) and see how well he figures out how to operate it. If he can't figure it out very quickly with zero instruction, then it's not "intuitive".

In a modern data team, Spark is just one of the type of job you may want to orchestrate. Typically as your company gets more tangled in data processing, you'll have many storage and compute engines that you'll have to orchestrate. Hive, MySQL, Presto, HBASE, map/reduce, Cascading/Scalding, scripts, external integrations, R, Druid, Redshift, miroservices, ...

Airflow allows you to orchestrate all of this and keep most of code and high level operation in one place.

Of course Spark has its own internal DAG and can somewhat act as Airflow and trigger some of these other things, but typically that breaks down as you have a growing array of Spark jobs and want to keep a holistic view.

the 1700X has 8 cores and 16 threads, the i7 7700k has 4 cores and 8 threads.

Most games have little to no benefit from more than 2-4 cores. These benchmarks show that the 1700X is competitive in single thread preformance with the high end i7s, while having double the amount of cores for the same price.

Add in that all AMD processors have unlocked multipliers and appear to have quite a lot of overclocking headroom, you have an insane amount of value.

Could you explain a little more about how the operator overloading is used in this context? Is it just that arithmetic operators are made to work in their linear algebra sense on objects representing matrices, so M*N will return a new object representing the matrix product M×N?
I do not wish to appear overly cynical (and apologies if this does), but what is stopping me investing all my time/effort into this, and finding out the licensing terms have changed such that it becomes more on par with commercial offerings?

Seems like the only benefit would be short lived, whilst I would take on a lot of the disadvantages of not going to a more commercial offering immediately. I'm genuinely interested. I can imagine this putting a lot of people off "committing".

Suggestion: If he's eligible for doing driving practice with you (Basically - older than 25 and has had his licence for more than five years uninterrupted), just find a large, open parking lot once some snow and ice is around.

Honestly, simply spending a few hours in an empty parking lot did more for whatever winter driving skills I may have picked up than any formal driving lesson did. There's a lot to be said for trying to maneuver the car and failing miserably to do so - repeatedly - without hitting anything. Most educational. (And fun! Just don't get too carried away, or the police will chew on you + spouse for reckless driving if they are bored.)

Proper winter tires helps a lot. As does a gentle right foot and slow, smooth operation of the steering wheel (And if you really want to go native - studded tires and 4x4)

Or even if you're not experiencing any pain -- if you haven't been to the doctor in a long time... go to the doctor. Get a routine checkup! It can save your life.

I almost learned this the hard way a few years ago. I was in my late 30s, and handled going to the doctor the way I always had since reaching adulthood -- which is to say, I didn't bother with it unless I was feeling out of sorts. Routine doctor visits seemed like a waste of time. Why sit an hour in an office to have somebody tell me I was doing OK, which I already knew?

Then my glasses broke, so I went to my local optician's to get a new pair. They did a routine eye exam to make sure my prescription hadn't changed, and in the process noticed something odd about the little blood vessels in my eyes. That led them to take my blood pressure, which turned out to be high. Like, really high. The kind of high where the person giving you the test looks you in the eye afterwards and asks you, entirely seriously, how you are still alive.

I was a stroke victim waiting to happen. (See http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditions/HighBloodPressure/W...) And I had no idea. And would have continued to have no idea, right up to the moment when my circulatory system strangled my brain to death, if my glasses hadn't broken.

I went to the doctor, they gave me some pills to handle the immediate crisis, we changed my exercise routine and diet a little to bring my blood pressure down for the long term, and now I'm fine. But I don't skip out on routine doctor visits anymore! And neither should you.

Nice site. It could do with some language processing like stemming so searches for "algorithm" and "algorithms" give the identical results.
I would posit that some limited motion controls could benefit most, if not almost all games. The big problem is the controllers are poorly adapted for motion in most cases. The Wii is able to do more with motion because the controller setup makes that possible, with the separated joystick portion and motion portion. It causes problems in that it's not as button-rich as contemporary controllers, so cross-platform titles often require changes, but when used appropriately, the motion controls can enhance play quite nicely.

Unfortunately, there's little incentive for established third party developers to put much effort into motion controls, as they want their games on as many platforms as possible and large differences in control schemes make that hard.

That said, the PSVR stuff is really the next level of motion controls. Unfortunately, it looks like they ignored where I think Nintendo had good foresight, and didn't include a way to use analog joysticks with the controllers, so it appears you either use the VR controllers or a regular Playstation controller, and there's no hybrid solution equivalent to the Wiimote nunchuck joystick (I hope I'm wrong, or they have a way to fix this with an attachment). Motion controls are still going strong, we're just still evolving past the equivalents of the Atari joystick and original NES controllers.
Just today I was reminded of this paragraph when we thought about completely different discrete optimalization problem with the expectation that there must be some way to solve it analytically instead of numerically.

But in case of CM router, “the average number of 1 bits in a message address.” is surprisingly useful quantity, because for the most straightforward implementation of hypercube routing the number of one bits in address is equal to number of links the message must traverse. The algorithm is essentially this: find address bit set to one, clear it and send the message down the link with same number as was the order of that bit, if address is all zeros, message has reached the destination (the same thing can be implemented without changing the address seen on wire by each router XORing its node ID with address in message and getting the same bitvector, but I believe most implementations actually modify the message address in each router).
I've seen it several times, however it's quite confusing what it really is. From their webpage:

> The goal of Armory is to bring real-time rendering to artists. Everything is fully integrated into Blender, turning it into a complete authoring tool for real-time content.

and

> Everything is bundled to provide the ultimate game development tool.

That's two quite different goals.

The $97k, and the reason the driver is bankrupt has a ton to do with Travis' actions as CEO of Uber, and is where Uber becomes, in a non-traditional sense, the vendor to the driver.

Uber behaved as the vendor for a $97k auto loan, in so far as Uber is the one with the big name that worked with car dealers and loan companies to get into the subprime auto loan business because that's what a bunch of stand up guys Uber is, and 2008 was years ago.

It was only with Uber's help, that the loan company came to the table so that driver could sign a contract to finance a $97k car. An expensive car, to be sure, but you're not allowed to drive for Uber Black in a Toyota Corolla from 1990, so you actually need a stupidly expensive car to drive for Uber Black. Unfortunately, financing on that expensive a car leaves the driver in a $5k hole every month for car payment. Not too bad, but if a driver can make $8k/month; $10k with extra work and some luck, that's not a bad deal.

Travis' and Uber then pulled the rug out from under drivers after they'd signed the loan. Drivers could no longer limit themselves to driving Uber Black. Uber, as a platform, forced them to accept UberX rides, or risk being permanently banned. UberX rides aren't as lucrative for the driver which really cuts into amount earned per month. Then Uber also lowered rates for Uber Black rides, making it cheaper for passengers, but, again, cutting into drivers' wage.

Suddenly, the drivers were beholden to a car loan and driving for Uber wasn't making enough money to stay afloat. This is how the driver got into that $97k hole.

In the video, Travis' and thus ultimately Uber's defense is that the driver being in this hole is in no way Uber's fault, which is a crock of shit.

Saying "the driver knew what they were getting into, and they signed a contract" does makes it legal, but when that's what they have to fall back on, Uber might be run by a bunch of assholes, starting from the top.
