Haven't had time to watch the youtube video ...., but here's a question related to APLing in general:

Do you find that the GPU angle makes people more receptive to the ideas behind APL? In my own experience, APL/K/J quickly get a SEP field applied to them (is also visible in the discussions linked by dang), some people dismiss it outright, and some say "well, it might have been easier to grasp if the syntax wasn't so obtuse" (which is demonstrably wrong). I've given up on evangelising APL/K, but being such a perfect match for GPU semantics, maybe there's hope for more acceptance? What's your take?
I'm sure someone's maxed the strategy, but playing I would always try to figure out when I got to those forced-guess situations which click had the lowest probability of being a mine. I.e., there were squares that you knew were 1/2 or 1/3 chance, you knew how many total unrevealed mines and number of unrevealed squares. So you could calculate the odds on any given square.

One of those problems I always wanted to work on on my own, knowing that someone somewhere probably had a much better solution.
Yeah, I see no reason why such a thing should cost as much as a smart phone. You should be able to do it with a Raspberry Pi Zero plus the right software.
I think it would depend on a few things: the size of the grid, how many bombs there are, and whether the board uses the rule of "the first click is guaranteed not to be a mine."
I've tried to use an app developed in 2014 with Windows's display scaling. Some buttons you need to be able to do anything end up being placed outside of the window, so you cannot click them.
I really wonder what's happening inside the company, because Apple's lawyers make the company so secretive that we don't know much about it. Do employees read HN? Do they collect reports about what the consumers are asking for and send it up the management chain? Do they knowingly choose to ignore it? or do they actually believe the Emoticon Macbook is the future? or do employees feel dismayed that their management puts the Macbook/macOS departments in wreck, to later claim something like "Sorry guys, the market doesn't want laptops anymore, but, swear, we've tried real hard"? Does the Mac department experience super-high turnover, with coding ruins of senior devs being taken over by students on internships?

How does it feel to belong to the Blackberry of Apple? Do they get laughed at during lunch breaks?
No, AirBnB isn't a solution to this problem. The problem is there's a constrained supply of housing in Paris and the city wants to try to ensure that people who own housing there actually live there. You know, so there's an actual thriving community and culture instead of fly-by owners that aren't actually residents.

How in the world does a service that encourages turning residential housing into hotel rooms solve that problem exactly? Local wanna be residents are going to rent rooms in the homes of the wealthy absentee homeowners? Maybe some, but I suspect a vast majority are fine just letting them sit vacant. Even if they do, that's no way to build a healthy, thriving community. It's fast food housing. I, as well as many others, don't want to live in a building that's part residential, part hotel.

So your solution is "Let AirBnB enable the absentee owner to rent out their place to the local baker that is priced out of owning.", thereby giving the illusion of a solution but really not solving the problem because the fabric of the community becomes provisional at best.

Seems like a fairly poor solution to me. I hate red tape as much as anyone but I've come around to think that well crafted and executed policy that focuses on the common good is a better option to strive for than figuring out how to enable even more wealth concentration than we already have. The trick is "well crafted and executed" which I agree is rarely the case but we already know the end game with unbridled capitalism.

Microsoft's own Surface Book uses something very like MagSafe:

Well yes, Platonism is true if you presuppose that Platonism is true.
Well, they should've planned for it. In my experience their VMs were quite good, I never felt much contention. But it's VPS, of course, you can never be sure.
It is not. Theories like einselection explain entanglement with only local effects (via superselection rules).
Yes, that's largely what Disney does, repackage existing folklore in a way that modern society wants to consume.

Failure to read what's on the screen is one of the biggest reasons why "non computer" people don't get things done with computers.
I'm a huge fan of Windows 7. The UI is simple, everyone is familiar with it, it's relatively stable, but most importantly, basic tasks are so much easier to deal with. In my opinion, it is the best Windows OS made.

Unfortunately Windows 8 and 10 are just not great OSs, in my opinion. A major theme on these threads is "Apple is trying to force mobile onto desktop computers." yet I see Windows doing it just as much, and not nearly as smooth, as Apple. Cortana, weird metro UI layout, terrible settings, confusing maintenance, updates never work, slow response times, etc.

I gave up on Windows 10 when I got my father a new laptop and had to troubleshoot my sister's. The OS is a mess. Finding basic things is so difficult. Just give me a control panel. Now we have "Settings" too, which is just a mess. Windows Update never works properly. It constantly needs a troubleshooter to run and start and stop the services again.

My dad didn't want to log in with an email to his laptop. So I disabled it (which was difficult to find, so I had to google it.) Now it's suddenly back, and he's complaining about it. There's no way he manually did it purposefully.

Trying to disable things like Cortana never works right. The huge debacle of info being sent to microsoft and needing heavy workarounds to actually prevent it from occurring. And then being force fed apps with advertisements built into the OS...come on.

Apple simply needs to improve their hardware at their price point and 90% of these threads wouldn't be made. The OS needs some additional features and improvements, but the experience is just so much better than Win10 and 8 for me.

My current build uses Windows 7 and whenever it is officially unsupported I will move on from Windows completely.
Maybe I was unclear, but it sounds like we agree: "A land tax on the unimproved value of the land is an elegant solution which incentivizes adding value to property rather than using it to park money."

Vacancies are caused by the fact that we live in scenario #1. Speculators can buy up properties, keep them empty, and reap a financial reward (as long as they time it right) as demand for the location increases.
No, it's not working like that. They use KVM, it's not like with OpenVZ/LXC where you can put unlimited VMs on a host system.
The economic situation isn't bad enough to put pressure on them to do so. If a repeat of the dot-com bust or 2008 occurred and their lifestyle became endangered, you honestly think that this demographic wouldn't turn out to vote for some even worse demagogue who makes pie-in-the-sky promises to fix all their problems?
I really don't understand the whole Windows vs Mac thing, both operating systems largely do what we want it 100% comes down to if the software that you need is on one platform or the other.

I'm in the market to upgrade at some point in the near future as my mac has developed a number of hardware issues and the linux subsystem for Windows and Docker support are both intriguing.
Hi, fully understand your desire to move on from a frustrating situation. Good luck, keep at it, man. Based on your post, it seems like you can land the interview, including final in-person ones. I suspect your body language probably communicates that you are too desperate. Hiring managers (consciously and unconsciously) resist hiring folks when they sense desperation. My recommendation to you is getting a coach to provide pointers for in-person interviews.

I was thinking that past a certain threshold of moves the probability of clicking a mine in most strategies will drop to zero, the question I had was if there were a specific strategy where that probability would never increase past 0.

From all the commentary however, it's pretty clear that the answer is no.

Glad to see pulseaudio-support is on the roadmap (shouldn't be too hard really). On Linux I have never had a proper ALSA recording with ffmpeg, due to ALSA "xruns", i.e. bad buffers. Pulse may be using a bulldozer to drive in a nail, but it doesn't yield this problem.
Okay, but what does that mean? Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit is like Tensorflow, which is included as an item on the list. Azure Machine Learning is something you can script with R or Python, and allows you to create APIs for predictive use on Azure. What good does lumping those together do? And what does it tell us that some things that are basically an R/Python library are less popular than R or Python themselves? It's this weird, uneven mix of things. Some are programming languages, some are libraries or frameworks, some are end-user products like Tableau.
A little. So many of the people commenting seem very competent and are doing neat things, stuff that's way beyond my abilities. I spend more time than I'd like to admit just trying to get my Android UIs to look at best not-shitty. I've been in tech (software and server admin) for decades.

I understand imposter syndrome but that's not what this is. This is straight up: I can't even imagine how to properly do these things.

I'm seriously planning on getting out of tech entirely because I don't think I could successfully navigate the tech interview process. I only got this job because I know a guy.

This is not perfectly related to what you're describing, where the articles themselves are downers, but I just had to get it off my chest.
> It sounds like Paris is regulating to beat a problem that is at least in a a significant part caused by regulation.

The solution to regulation is always more regulation.
No, that is not what bell's theorem does. Bell's theorem rules out local hidden variable theories. It leaves open multiple explanations for how entanglement works, including subjective collapse, nonlocal effects, superdeterminism, etc.
If the prestige were great enough, maybe (and good luck with that.) Now add in the extraordinary reluctance of most women to date men shorter than they are.
Agreed.

I can't believe how much worse Windows 10 is than 7. And all the good features of 10 could easily be integrated with the 7 UI.

It's very frustrating that there isn't another player in this space. I don't mind fooling around with linux but sometimes you just want to buy a laptop and go without all the extra crap and most of the consumer space won't go through that anyway.
> The article was about women getting married less, even when they had children.

Right, so it had nothing to do with being a single mother, and single mothers aren't relevant to this discussion at all.

> Also, sure, both parents can make decisions for the well-being of the child, but if you're implying that the woman should marry the man if she doesn't want to because he wants to marry her, then you're the one being sexist.

Actually, I'm replying to your implicit assumption that the mother is going to be the caregiver, and so her decisions must be rational because she's just looking after her children's well-being. For instance, see your comment:

> A single mother who marries a man with low earnings and no real prospect of ever earning more will mean she's scraping by the rest of her life.

Telling that you don't mention that the man isn't scraping by the rest of his life too.
> where macOS has come from since the days of OS8.

Downhill in many ways that I care about. Someone else posted elsewhere in this thread that they can no longer drag a photo directly from Photos app to Pixelmator. That would be unimaginable in the old days.

I care a lot about a consistent Finder UI, about the Clipboard and Dragboard. Those became a little less logical when OS X 10 was introduced. As you know, many other features became much more powerful, so overall it was easily forgivable.

Unfortunately, since Tim has been in charge, the lack of logic and consistency has become a real problem. Nobody at Apple seems to care about their own "Human Interface Guidelines" anymore.

It's like Apple compares Mac with iOS, and decides that mystery meat navigation, and inconsistent UI, are no big deal. As long as it's no worse on the Mac than on iOS, Apple is fine with things.
The Vultr plan looks like a nice option. For comparison, I recently started using Scaleway for my it's-so-cheap-why-not-try-it box.

My Scaleway box's specs:

- €2.99/month (currently $3.17 USD/month)

- 2 GB RAM

- 50 GB SSD storage

- 200 Mbits/sec of unmetered bandwidth

- data centers in Amsterdam & Paris

When I need to take hosting more seriously, I'll reevaluate. Until then, Scaleway is a damn good deal :)
I need something better than anecdotal evidence for your claim that tenancy rights are the primary problem. You can find horror stories about problem tenants in any city, same as you can find horror stories about terrible landlords. Do you have quantitative evidence that documents the scale of this problem? Property vacancies, speculation, rents, and related issues are hardly unique to Paris; this is an unsolved problem in economics precisely because living accommodations are not simply fungible commodities and applying crude economic models to complex economic situations leads to inefficient outcomes.
It's nice but I think you need to test on more than 2 instances per provider. Things can vary _a lot_ and I think benchmarks like this should collect a lot more data. With Ansible and such it's not too difficult to set up and run a benchmark of 100 instances per provider and it's not overly expensive either. I've even seen it recommended that when starting an instance on AWS, you spawn 100 instead and take the one that performs best.

My take is that, yes, people don't like APL, and are biased against it. It's a case of not understanding/knowing what they don't know. I was in the same boat, which is why my discovery of APL was so interesting.

APL on the GPU isn't really a "big deal" to most people either, because they think they could do the same thing with a library. I'm taking it a step further than that.

The biggest reason, I think, that people are slightly (but not totally) more receptive to the work I'm doing in my own research field is because I'm almost literally doing the impossible. And that's sort of the barrier to entry. Until you demonstrate that you can do the impossible, they don't take you seriously. In my case, it's producing a compiler that people have said was practically impossible to do, and doing it with APL, in such a way that it becomes evident that APL is a key contributing factor to my ability to solve the problem.

Basically, what I've done is create a compiler that is natively expressed in a format/style that is as compatible with the GPU as C or C++ is with the CPU. There is no one else who has done this, or even, to my knowledge, made the attempt. And unfortunately, it's that madness of the attempt that makes the whole thing interesting.

It's easier for me to convince people (on some level), because if you ask them to imagine how they would do this with their own language, they can't. With almost every other domain, people can convince themselves that they could do the same thing more productively in their own language, even if evidence of people trying and failing suggests otherwise.

Another dimension to this problem is that APL is usually presented over domains which seem "obviously suited" to APL, and that makes people think of it as a niche domain specific language. Working in the field of compilers is an obvious not-APL-friendly domain, and yet the results are just as compelling, and thus, more interesting to people.
By compromise, he probably means that women will have to get comfortable dating men who earn the same or less than them. Or are less ambitious than them.

In my perception most women don't look at men who aren't more well off than themselves or lower status than themselves.
It's ironic that you go on to use something as an argument against non-locality which I think it's safe to say there is even less actual consensus about.
The UI is a mess of old and new in Windows 10. Generally "advanced" options means switching to and old menu style (win 7 and older).
> Instead the majority of the kinetic energy needed comes from the ejected electrons from the sun's light ionizing the upper atmosphere.

IIRC, at martian surface temperature, hydrogen atoms have escape velocity. That goes a long way to explaining why there's no water on Mars: there's lots of Oxygen, but most of the hydrogen has fled.
You've invented a new problem explicitly designed to exclude the solution I mentioned.

The problem in the article is that there is unused/abandoned housing. AirBnB fixes that. If you have a xenophobic fear of tourists or something, that's a different issue. AirBnB also decreases the profitability of large hotels, which means more building space allocated to residential housing.
Good luck, Paris. There is a non-negligible number of apartments where the owners can't be found. Paris is an old city. Some of these apartments are very old. The chain of ownership can be quite complex especially when descendants are involved. A friend told me he asked the guardian of a building for the owner details because he wanted to buy it. The guardian only had a 4-digit telephone number, that's how old the information was.

The last person to live there died in 80s. They did have 2 grandchildren one in Canada and the other in Australia. They did not know they inherited an apartment. Do to inheritance laws them and a cousin were the beneficiaries. And to sell this property it required their approval and a split of the proceeds. In total it took 18 months to buy this flat.

I'm sure there are other stories like this.

Same. Replaced my MacBook with a Surface Book. Why? Tns of reasons, not the last of which being that the M processor I have is so underpowered that it's an embarrassment that the company offered it in a laptop. I can use two of Chrome, Excel, Outlok and Spotify. Open one more and I get the beach ball.

I also find that Microsoft is at least trying to make quality products even if they will never be mainstream (like the Surface Book). Very happy y have made the switch.
Of course you're right. It was this project that justified his "promotion" from Wallfacer to Swordholder.
I actually don't see any technical concession you made, in fact after the above quote you went on to say:

>"The big reason working with hardware like this produces unique results is more about the layout and workflow than the tech inside the machine."

That seems like a clear statement that you believe the technical details have very little to do with the sound.
In what way is it ironic? I'm just pointing out that you don't seem to be aware of the entire solution space.
> The Mac is a victim of the iPhone's success - pure and simple. From a short & medium term perspective the business/ops guys will tell you that any engineering resources spent on Mac would yield better results in iPhone land.

Which is why I'm voicing my objections to the way that Apple is treating their Mac lineup by leaving iOS. I sold my iPhone and iPads (I had 2) and moved to Android.

I'm still a Mac user who will happily spend thousands when they offer compelling reasons to upgrade. But if their belief is that there is more money in iOS, I'm making damn sure that I'm not part of that equation.

Switching to Android also has the pleasant side effect of being far cheaper. I was able to get a brand new Nexus 5X for net-$20 after trading in my old iPhone 6, which barely held a charge anymore. And Google Fi is so much cheaper for my use case (I use about a half gig per month and do a lot of travel in other countries) that I'm saving around $20/mo and getting better service.

For those of you wanting Apple to focus more product development resources on macOS and Macs, abandoning that platform will only confirm Apple's decision to focus on iOS. We need to abandon that platform if we want more focus on macOS.
Excellent library, the only thing that's a bit odd is the requirements for instruction sets seem arbitrary. For example aes-gcm requires sse3, blake hashing has full support for various intruction sets and chooses the best one while sha256 doesn't have optimized code for any instruction set. I'm genuinely interested in the reasoning.
Seems like a bubble when Asians are buying Canadian properties instead of just buying petroleum or cars etc.
Sure but to claim that non-locality is an interpretation on the same line as ex Einselection is just absurd to say the least.
