Export/import the relevant registry keys, just as you copy/overwrite the relevant config files.
If you can't find the reg keys, what makes you think you can find the config files?

You don't even need to do anything for your roaming user profile to follow you on a windows domain! I couldn't tell you how to accomplish the same on Unix.

> Can I do the same on Windows?

I routinely (ab)use mklink to keep the path identical despite moving things between disks or onto remote shares. Different subdirs within C:\Program Files\ are often on separate disks - just copy, paste, and mklink. I haven't run into an application that complains (although I have had installation scripts botch things on rare occasion by deleting my mklinks.)

You can also do unix style mount-a-disk-in-an-empty-directory if that's your jam, and have e.g. C:\SSD. For the GUI, see the "Disk Management" tool - RMB the partition, "Change Drive Letter and Paths...", "Add...", (*) "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder:".

Melanie Hart is a Senior Fellow and Director of China Policy at the Center for American Progress.

Uhuh.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_American_Progress

Founder: John Podesta

Uhuh.

As someone who lives in China, in what must be the world's center for hydropower (the south-east Himlayan region), where a huge number of people get around on e-bikes and you never see a Tesla, I remain skeptical of US commitment to clean energy. So should you.

China makes most of everything for everyone, including solar panels. Residential energy consumption per-capita is rising but still far beneath western levels. Industrial consumption frequently has a significant export component and thus that pollution is essentially outsourced... any direct comparison is therefore flawed.

> if you don't focus on your core product first and foremost and demonstrate the utmost competency in it, you're just pissing money away and are likely to fail.

I don't have direct experience running/selling a startup, but I have worked for several as an employee.

In my experience, the product is important, but not necessarily the deciding factor in whether the company succeeds. Most of the success is down to the management team (e.g. CEO, CTO, CFO) being able to sell the company (and product) to investors during funding rounds.

Doesn't matter how good the product is, if management can't pitch it to get funding you're dead.

Obviously it is important to have a good product, but just look at Uber for example. Losing billions of dollars per year, with no clear path to profitability, and yet they're valued at something like $60B. Great sales/marketing by their management to investors!
Eclipse's Che is also very interesting. I hate the name, but it was super when I tried it.
I worked at a place where the CEO/founder would openly talk about 'young guys' as a hiring practice to enable him to pay as low as possible.

This same place also expressed a significant preference for hiring H1B workers because 'they get locked in for 5+ years while waiting for their residency'.

Actually, unfortunately I think that the price is more like 9 cents per GB, so the calculation looks even worse. The $0.01/GB you saw must be across zones within AWS?

So ~$900/month for bandwidth alone.

The disk and CPU costs for me are worth it, much better to pay $600/month and let that be someone else's headache. But the bandwidth makes this totally a nonstarter.

Out of curiosity, what are you moving?

I'm also not sure how these smaller datacenters somehow charge so much less for bandwidth.

I'm serious. If you have to rely on mono, single image inputs then yeah ImageNet is going to do better. But it will also mistake every picture of a coke can as the real thing. It will be horrifically sensitive to malicious inputs. Much better would be to use 2 calibrated lenses and do 3D reconstruction. Even if you're just doing the reconstruction as a sanity check for a NN to weed out the false positives.

>just 340 million years after the formation of the plant

Also when you consider that the earth was uninhabitable for most of those first few hundred million years. This was a time when our planet was still getting bombarded by asteroids and oceans would have boiled away into steam. Temperatures were hot and the surface was volcanic. It was barely habitable at this point.

That would would qualify as shortly by most estimates. Life began as soon as it was possible.

Object recognition doesn't only exist in the subspace of labelled 2D images. It tends to be derived from a 3D space, which is a whole extra orthogonal data source that the "NN all the things" crowd is fastidiously ignoring.

Why, I'm not sure, but I'm guessing because it is hard/inaccurate to do with just NNs and parameter/network architecture tweaking. Possibly also because benchmarks with single mono images are much easier to make.

Just because it is hard with method A, and is harder to make benchmarks, doesn't mean method B isn't better.
When i graduated, my manager would often come over to me on a Thursday and say he needed my work done my Monday. Which inevitably meant i would be in the office over the weekend. This happened for 6 weeks straight. That's right, every single day i worked, there were no weekends for naive old me.

On the beginning of the 7th week, i had a twitch in my eye and i could smell death. I broke and handed in my notice, my ceo refused, then accepted after he spoke to the manager. The manager had a word with me, and told me that they were going to fire me anyways. What a nice guy.
I use noscript to by default turn off scripts from 3rd party sites (unless whitelisted). It breaks quite a few sites, but it also makes lots of sites load quicker and doesn't load a bunch of advertising/tracking stuff that I don't really want loaded anyway.
"How can we recursively find all files with \ name in folder foo?"

Whenever someone tries to critique UNIX they always make up these nonsensical problems.

No UNIX user would intentionally name a file with a forward slash, a space, a semicolon, etc.

But I will play along.

To find these files, a number of ideas come to mind.

Maybe the easiest would be to use mtree to make a file specification and then search the specification.

Something like

mtree -cp /foo |exec mtree -C

Any forward slashes, spaces, or other nonsense in filenames would appear as octal values.

If there are so many files that these specifications become large enough to cause problems with UNIX utilities, I import them into a database like kdb.

Is there a way to hide files from mtree? Maybe.

But at least with the UNIX concept for a system, the user can look at the source and see how it works.

The truth is, UNIX is not so impressive.

It is only the fact that the alternative systems for doing the types of things one does with UNIX have always been inferior/rubbish in the opinion of a certain set of informed users.

It is this contrast that makes UNIX seem impressive.

As usual, the author makes no suggestion or detailed comparison of any other alternative that can be used for doing the tasks one does with UNIX.
Many concepts inspired from math and used in programming do not correspond anyway.

In programming 'functions' can have side effects, 'variables' can be mutated, 'integers' have upper / lower bounds etc.

Although I agree that some notations are probably unhelpful, I still find nice that it can be done.
Unfortunately i have heard the same thing from CEO recently.

Indeed but in a class on geography it can make the teachers life easier if the students can focus on the 3-7 applications you want to use throughout the year and those are 1 click away rather than a download+install procedure away. Not every class will want/need to teach computer maintenance.

You're asking the wrong question. Everyone will agree to answer yes or no questions for 5 cents. As another user mentioned, people get excited and think they could be earning $90 per hour, so you'll hear lots of people supporting your idea.

In reality you're going to have a difficult time finding people willing to pay for those answers, and that's where you'll succeed or fail. People answering questions will certainly not be earning $90 per hour, but they''ll be lucky to earn 10 cents per week, because I guarantee you'll be short on questions.

There are also countless reward services that pay people for answering questions or surveys, watching videos, signing up for offers, etc. As someone mentioned on Reddit, Google even has one (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...).

The objection was "the mathematical symbols are not being used correctly", not "it doesn't look right to me". Which makes a big difference if the point of putting math symbols into your code is to make it read like an equation , as the author is attempting to do.

It doesn't have to be that way. There are certain common patterns in communities who stay healthy without losing their ideals.

Does the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) in Germany count as intentional community?

This community is ever growing, and I'd say they changed generations at least twice: the oldest members (1st generation) retired long ago, some meanwhile died. And the now-elders (2nd generation) are making place for younger peers (3rd generation).

To put this picture more into perspective: There are now-middle-age members (age ~40-50) who joined the CCC in their yough, but still know the community's beginning only from the tellings of older members.

And yet there is a strong sharing of ideals and values. Due to their early history (helping and protecting members who got in trouble with KGB) they are still politically active, strong proponents of data protection and privacy, as well as opposed to large data collectors, intelligence agencies, military and the industries around those. They hold these ideals even though hacker communities in many other countries (US, etc.) developed into a totally [1] different direction. Their annual Chaos Communication Congress is breaking records year by year, in terms of attendees but also in terms of quality and volunteer engagement.

And this is just the CCC. I know some other communites here in Germany which are similarily structured and healthy. But these are less known internationally, so I decided to cite those the CCC as my example.

The "trick" of all these communities is that each task is performed by a team - even though sometimes a single person would be sufficient. So there is a decoupling of the task from the single individuals performing them. This means each team can grow, renew and rejuvenate gradually, at its own pace. [2][3]

[1] pun intended

[2] Thinking a that, a similar strategy is also what keeps large code bases healthy.

[3] Thinking even more of that, democracy as a whole works that way, which is why it's easier for democracies to rejuvenate than for most dictatorships, most of which fail utterly after one or two generations - to be replaced with a totally different dictatorship, or hopefully with something that is better for the poeple and more sustainable.
But it has to be. Linux can be super powerful. You can get very close to the metal. While a lot of people want to use it as an appliance, it really isn't. Just like all the other trades there is history which begets convention which begets culture. And like any good power tool you've got to know what you're doing, or you could get yourself into trouble.

The problem, I think, is that we seem to have trouble conceptualizing the schism that exists between the computing-as-a-tool users (aka the elites, power users, and programmers) and computing-as-an-appliance users (aka the computing mainstream). Both camps have wildly different wants, needs, and expectations.

Why can't both continue to exist separately? The elites don't want their tools weakened, and the mainstream just wants stuff to work. Split computing down the middle at desktops+laptops vs tablets+mobile+consoles and keep the separation clean. Now that we have iPads and whatnot there's no reason to keep nontechnicals on a PC if they don't want to be there... so why not let PCs return to the nerds?
I was wondering the same. Why not manage servers without managing the hardware? There are several hosting providers that offer enough capacity and data centers to provide enough capacity.

You'll still need people managing servers, but no one has to live close to a datacenter and you can emulate at least some cloud-like features (e.g. spinning up a new server if one server fails and dealing with the failing server later).

The only companies where that doesn't work is when you need physical security for your data (locked cabinets that no one from another company can enter), but that's no concern if you already had your data in the cloud before.

> It always amazed me when someone looks at computer systems of the 70's through the lens of "today's" technology and then projects a failure of imagination on the part of those engineers back in the 70's

True enough, but as a younger programmer, I find it pretty reasonable to look back at computer systems of the 70s and wonder if we can do better today. I feel a little bit gross every time I have to write a bash shell script (or edit config files that aren't JSON/XML/YAML, for that matter), and I don't think that's a bad impulse. That something so inelegant and unsafe is still in widespread use in 2017 really ought to be a scandal. Even if the author didn't frame the issue in the most charitable way for the earlier trailblazing generations, he's calling attention to the right issues.

In other words, if you couldn't justify something being designed a certain way de novo, why be content with the existing design!?
