Actually yes you're right
Yes, hence my comment about the argument being made null by the existence of a standard--but that's only in theory. In practice, often because of OS-driven constraints (e.g. the desktop vs Android version of any given browser), different tradeoffs with respect to the quality, breadth, and depth of implementation differ.

The point is this: the existence of a standard doesn't guarantee uniformity in implementations.

Well, I don't think there's much consideration of nuclear power in the first place by most countries. A nuclear-powered B-36D (large bomber) was explored in the '60s though. Complications included the weight of the lead shielding to protect occupants, and that doing some routine operations in the radioactive areas required a remote controlled robot. The reactor was never used to power the aircraft, and test flights just explored the effects of radiation on everything.

I suspect monogamy is a cultural evolution that enables human beings to form larger societies without killing each other in the process of mate acquisition. Our hominid ancestors almost certainly existed in small troops with dominant males who controlled sexual access to females by force. That social dynamic isn't conducive to the formation of stable societies, and brute force doesn't work as well when weapons and the ability to devise plots enter the picture.
To be fair, if you're in the USA, you're missing out on two of the largest audiences in the world: India and China. I imagine that's similarly why iPhone developers are more prominent in the USA/UK than elsewhere, where Android developers dominate.

I don't know if this is true or not but that could certainly explain how their advertiser numbers ballooned like that.
Luckily, there seems to be a near endless amount of things that can be improved with software, so that more automation doesn't mean that programmers lose their job, instead we just solve more problems with software.

9-5 is office hours. Be ready and willing to respond to any requests. When you get the actual assigned ans scheduled out work done is your problem. Perhaps you should work late, at home, at night, in the morning before "office hours".

Drives me effing nuts! Salaried exempt doesn't mean slave labor. It means the work I do requires thinking and since I am always thinking it makes more sense to just pay me a predetermined amount instead of going hourly and trying to figure out if I should be compensated for the commute to and from the office when some of my greatest ideas and innovations occur. God forbid my idea comes while not on the clock! I might not choose to assign the IP over to you! I still only anticipate implementing ideas and performing tasks for approximately 40 hours per week. You're paying for my brains not my key pushing skills.

I agree that when you think about individual researchers it's a negative externality -- in many cases, the researcher doesn't pay, but other members of the research community do.

This is true in programming as well: often the technical debt falls on your collaborators. You understand that crazy code you wrote and didn't document, but no one else does.

For the debt perspective to really work, you need to think of the research community as a team working together to advance science. Individual members of that team take out debt to advance their work faster, but in the long run it costs the team more.
I forget the name but there was a passive income post here a few months back about a neural network that created logos and earned the creator thousands of dollars a month.

Even if I don't like DRM, I don't believe a closed source DRM is any more perfect than an open source one. There's a strong link to cryptography here, and in that area an open source encryption is no less perfect than a closed one.

Whatever DRM was required to please the suffering media conglomerates, it could at least have been open source.

It's been mentioned a bunch in this thread already, but they're doing feature support detection by user-agent string. It's not malicious, it's sloppy.

Here's a quote from the /r/linux thread [1], courtesy of /u/angellus:

> This is certainly a bug. It is not a targeted attacked against Linux users. Report it to Microsoft.
Microsoft is just doing really shitty feature detection using User Agent strings instead of, well actual feature detection. I was able to reproduce the same result by setting my User Agent to Firefox 52 on Windows 98. If I set it to a "more realistic" user agent like IE 7 on Windows XP, it would actually redirect me to a busted page to upgrade my browser instead of Word Online. It appears if Microsoft cannot figure out your User Agent (including your OS as part of it), it gives you a busted experience.

How did she found out it was a man?
Additionally: I needed to make a program to join two tables by a common subset of their columns. It's desirable in CUDA, to enhance caching locality, to work with structs of arrays rather than arrays of structs. So a pattern in Thrust is to work with tuples. You zip up your columns and then you can use them in transformations. That's nice enough. The trouble arises when you need to write code to join (and transform) table A having NA columns, by table B having NB columns, sharing some number of shared columns NC. To manipulate the tuples you end up specializing cases and you build some awful large switch statements. That is, if you're a naive rookie, like me. Then you back off, and try to learn a little meta programming. You actually can dynamically treat tuples, sort of like lists, a little bit. But finally I decided that too is a kind of madness, and I'm on my third try, this time using a custom iterator over good old-fashioned dynamic vectors of arrays, so I can sidestep tuples altogether, and still use the structure of arrays idiom.
For what it's worth, I currently work at one of the aforementioned software companies and my college experience is half a music degree. I didn't do any intense studying for the interview either, just spent a couple evenings doing project Euler problems in my favorite language to brush up as my job at the time was using different languages and didn't involve a lot of programming. I'm on the SRE/PE side of the world though, where I think interviews tend to line up with practical experience a little better.

I wonder why you cant get a pre-paid at a kiosk. Use a burner phone. Yes, you need some time and effort but if you need good security you will suffer some inconvenience.

I wish I was as dead as lisp. The thing is still malleable and performing into the top 10 languages despite being completely out of mainstream and big guns radar. Meanwhile most mainstream languages (c11, js, python, ...) have bended towards closures as a central paradigm. Not to mention advanced python talks that are mostly CLOS MOP, and humm perl6 which allows to hack as much as CL. Lisp as a product is dead, but the genetic line is still flowing; mostly because of its origin as proto AI recursive logic vehicle.

Beyond the motor skills to intelligence conflation as was already pointed out; you're also wrongly assuming a machine AI need be intelligent the same way a human is. Much of what your brain does is centered around having a human body; just as a plane doesn't need to flap its wings, an AI won't need to think like a person to still be intelligent so there will likely always be things humans can do better but that in no way implies the machines can't be more intelligent than us even while not being able to do many of the things we do.
One of the only positives to come out of these new standards was that NPAPI could be deprecated.

Keeping the 2 around can be annoying in math for exactly the same reasons.

Also by the way, 2 * Math.PI is only one character less than Math.TAU. Even if you were to bind it locally to pi and tau, then 2 * pi is 4 characters whereas tau is 3. I mean it's a little annoying to keep track of, but it's certainly not the hardest thing programmers have to deal with.

Airplanes really don't get the same benefits cars do from being hybrids. Hybrid cars take advantage of the fact that cars have to change speeds often and electric motors are somewhat effective at recovering energy when the car needs to slow down. Planes don't have that issue. The engine in a plane generally sits at the same throttle point for >80% of the flight.

I studied business at a for-profit (not prestigious) college and was a technical recruiter (not prestigious) right before moving into development as a career. My current dev job is quite challenging, I am working with cool tech, and I learn every day.

My route to this gig was:

- learn Ruby well enough to sound like I knew a lot about hard things (go deep on one thing, instead of having a shallower portfolio of simpler things)

- hustling to get that first coding gig, no matter how crappy it was

- grinding through several jobs in a few years, learning each time how to pick a better fit, even if I had to move a few thousand miles/km to get a better gig (did that twice)

- building up enough expertise in core web development skills (testing, MVC apps, DOM manipulation, etc.) and "under the web app" skills (writing libraries, learning to MITM myself, etc.)

- researching what kind of job I wanted, selling that to interviewers, and eventually getting one (my current employer) to believe me enough to give me a job offer, and then working my butt off to learn what I need to learn how to succeed at this level while carving out enough time to climb to the next level

tl;dr - work hard, learn marketable skill, go where jobs are, be hungry, do what you gotta do

> it's a good compromise in a capitalist society where artists need to make money for what they produce in order to feed themselves

Funny, I haven't heard many artists clamoring for DRM, and the ones who do tend to be well beyond the feeding-themselves step on Maslow's Hierarchy.

No, it is, as always, the distributors. That's because DRM hurts artists but entrenches distributors.

It is a shitty compromise because it is the start of a closed web. Enjoy your view-source while your corporate overlords deign to give you permission.
Erm. No. Corporations can and do shield their owners from legal liability, only in the most blatant cases will the corporate veil be pierced, otherwise 'limited liability' does what it says on the tin.

For officers of the company it is a different matter, but even there punishment beyond being fired is very rare.
> as long as I trade in about yr 4 or 5.

If you mean you buy brand new or almost brand new and sell at year 4 or 5, then you're spending a lot more than you need to, which is buying you the extra "reliability."

But that reliability isn't even entirely real -- a lot of the repairs you'd expect after about 5 years or 50,000 miles are predictable and listed right there in the maintenance schedule in the manual, so as long as you do them proactively rather than roll the dice, a modern car should easily be very reliable for at least 100,000 / 10 yrs.

Trading in for a new car is probably costing you a lot more than just sticking to the maintenance schedule and budgetting for the major repairs would. I think a lot of people mistakenly overestimate the pain of those major scheduled repairs because they just don't do them and wait till they need to be towed in to have it fixed (and by then a few other things need fixing too)

Speaking in generalities of course

Anyway, point is, farms are a business, they're not going to piss money away by trading in a tractor that can much more cheaply be maintained -- you trade it in when it costs more to maintain (and abstain from new features) than to replace

It's not programming that needs to be "automated" but the project process. If you could shave 30% off of meeting times you can probably boost productivity by 50% or more.
Of course you could, that's why you don't skimp on those things. You can get by with a crappy interior, but things like wheels/tires/transmission/engine are high priority. That's my whole point here, it doesn't look like the wheels were over engineered enough, but I'm not a rocket scientist.

Hi janciska,

Thanks for writing that comment and making us aware of that case. I'm very sorry that it did that long to get reviewed and merged. The number of issues and merge requests that pass our hands is just crazy and sometimes it happens that some of them are oversight and not properly scheduled. Having people to be persistent, like you, makes them finally to be merged and be part of the product. Thank you for doing that! From our side, we will try our best to make this process to be more efficient.

Dude, every time I bring up my difficulty installing Ubuntu on a relatively new Macbook Pro (Retina 13-inc early 2015) people respond like this. And yet [1] I was never able to solve this issue with video drivers (or something, I never figured it out) causing incessant crashing. I mean, look at the stack overflow post, I tried so hard to get it working. This is consistent with every ubuntu install I've ever done - there's always some shit that just makes me wonder whether it's worth it.

I certainly wouldn't. Why would I notify the USPS that I moved? I would notify my contacts (or much more likely, they'd ask me for my address in the event they wanted to send me something). A delivery service is for delivering things to addresses, not to people.

Both of these features are not scheduled for development yet. We scope work out month to month, so we can't promise anything regarding those at this time.

> I kinda doubt that anyone has consciously tried to make the commercials louder than the content. It's a tough problem to get right: The television industry has been at it a lot longer, and they still barely make it work.

right, that's why commercials are consistently louder than the "content".
The mechanical specifications I've seen for newer (post-2000, say) components at the lab that built this particular robot have all been in metric units. I just checked, and the current requirement is that metric "shall" be used, unless (a) a particular mission waived that practice - I don't think MSL did; or (b) for parts from "industries that are historically in another unit of measure." Two examples I know of are gears and printed wiring boards, which are indeed in mils.

And you're right, it is possible, barely, that the wheels were an exception. I don't know if they were fabricated on lab or not.
