I'm on board with half of this claim. The failure-due-to-defect rates actually are rising, according to systematic studies of home appliances. But the cost decline might actually compensate for that, at least in consumer terms. If you cut costs on the most over-engineered parts of your product, you can often create a less-reliable device that's still more cost-efficient. Of course, whether you pass those savings to consumers is a second question.

> I expect it to be very tough for everyone including Europeans

So, how many of the UK's ~3m resident Europeans do you expect to be leave, and how many to be deported? How do you expect that to work out? What do you expect couples who suddenly have no right to reside in the same country to do?

In 2000 I was newly in the business, so has to drop out at that point.

In 2008 I had been back in for a while, but had only just switched from J2ME phones to Python and Django - the window for Devs to switch from J2ME had closed and I was inexperienced in python.
Worked about 2 months in the first year, and it took about another 3 or 4 to get depth in python (and decide Android was not for me).

I learned about recursive descent parser by reading Anthony Dos Reis book: compiler construction using java, javacc and yacc[0]. I'm a bit lazy {tired} now I'll just refer to my previous comment. It has been my favorite book. Trust me, you'll learn about compiler technology with this wonderful book.

Does this really work? I've never had any success with mnemonics. The best way I've found to remember numbers is to type them on number keyboard from time to time and let the muscle memory do its work.
Ask HN: Have you used big data ecosystem or MPP DBs to building DWH?
Have anyone used big data ecosystem (HDFS, SparkSQL/Impala/Kudu/Drill/etc, HBase/Cassandra/etc) in creating DWH? What are your thoughts?

Nowadays there is a great hype about big data products, BI tools started to gain support for connectivity with SparkSQL, Hive. Spark summit had several people who told tales about their usage of SparkSQL for DWH.

I suppose different stacks have their own usecases. I am inclined to believe that big data stack can be very suitable for processing events, documents with little usage of joins, RDBMS stack (+ HOLAP/MOLAP) are better for DWH for relational data, where there are many interconnected entities and everything is structured. However there is also Greenplum (Postgresql 8.3 fork with transparent sharding support and distributed queries) which is smth in between I guess.

So, if you have experience of building DWH with non-traditional approach, please describe your experience and usecase in comments - I am sure there are many people interested in what you can say.
It's a balancing act between designing syntax that makes sense for the programmer and syntax that makes sense for the parsing technology.

I'd feel a bit silly explaining to someone that some twisted or ugly syntax construct was like that because it made writing the parser a bit easier, when the parser only has to be written once but the syntax has to be used in every program written using the language.
I haven't bought one because I feel it is redundant. You have a second device, with very similar functionality, that you now need to keep track of and keep updated, etc.

The goal should be simplification.
Do you get these high-altitude grazing New Zeeland lamb at Costco? Most lambs are raised in the lamb factory.
I don't think your second point follows from your first. ML is not easy to set up or maintain, even if we're just talking about linear regression. Companies trying to make 'data scientists obsolete', usually frame ML as a black box that you can plug data in one end and spit out profits the other. But in reality it doesn't work like that, significant effort has to build and maintain data pipelines, to make sure data quality is good, and to monitor that the ML model is doing anything useful in the end.

Talk openly about the specific issue with your boss. Tell him/her exactly how much time you give them (3 month is a okayisch thing) to improve on it or you will leave based on that issue.

Offer them a way of migrating to your stack like 'hey we can migrate this peace and this peace to typescript' Its an easy start, low risk.

If they don't care, or don't change, leave.
If that becomes a popular rule then unfortunately it's fantastically easily gamed.
You can probably use parser generators for this. In this way it's possible to have a function accepting a grammar and an input and returning the parse tree, so all complications are hidden inside.
The university takes a cut, so your money contributed to the US education system, and probably ended up funding more research endeavors.
This is a 4/5 year development project. And that's being optimistic. On top of that, I'm not sure AR needs that kind of power. It's not VR. Just needs to display some objects and text on field of vision.

Hololens, for example, it's far from being a powerful machine and seems to do it just fine. Obviously we are talking about taking the first steps in a field that is still in development. it's not going to be perfect at first.

The filter bubble/group think is incredible in this thread! You'd think people are fleeing the UK in droves and driven to despair all round based on some of the comments here.

In reality, none of the dire predictions for the economy have come to pass and people are getting on with their lives. None of my friends (all educated, well-off remain voters) are talking about leaving.

Some people in this thread still seem to be in denial about the situation and completely ignore the flaws of the EU. Yes there are costs of leaving, but there are also potential upsides. e.g. having a more interventionist national economic strategy while pursuing more international trade deals. And it's likely that any trade tariffs imposed by the EU will be more than offset by the currency depreciation we've seen since the referendum.

There are risks for the UK going forward but I'm more worried about the EU at the moment. If it doesn't reform, we'll continue to see rising extremism on the continent - look at Holland, Italy, France, Austria where extreme (and anti EU) parties all receive more votes than UKIP does in the UK.

I want to contest that "streaming TV" currently encompasses quite competent players. DirecTV Now has been a dumpster fire of a rollout, Hulu is coming in late with a rather boutique offering, and none of these services offer some basic tablestakes features like greater-than-2-channel audio. Which, maybe I'm just overprivileged, but 5.1 audio is streamed over airwaves right now, and these guys can't figure out how to do it over the internet? Additionally theres tons of arcane pricing rules around how many streams an account can hold, weird DVR inplementation / rules around DVR, basically the kind of efficacy in solutions that existed for music before Apple came along and forced sanity into the market.

I think this is easily an area that any number of players could really ratchet up & take, but not one solid reference implementation exists right now.
That's the kids secret, they don't learn it all in one big bang. Kids don't play the solo or play it perfectly to begin with. They play along with the song on the stereo, then you don't have to do the solo any way! There's also a rhythm guitar going on under a solo, if not you can fill that bit with the same chords as the solo is playing (usually the verse or chorus chords) based on those chords. Then they learn solos later.

Also, if you learn the barre chord, you learn most of modern rock's rhythm guitar.

Polly - Nirvana (E, G, D, C / D, C, G, A# barre), see https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/n/nirvana/polly_crd.htm

I learnt in the 90s as you might be able to tell. Most songs I know I've no clue what the solos are. Here's some other ideas:

http://www.guitarnoise.com/blog/first-songs-to-learn-on-guit...

http://www.guitarhabits.com/top-30-easy-guitar-chord-songs-b...

It's also really easy to find basic arrangements. Just search "[song name] tab". What I used to do is search for a song I liked, if the tab looked difficult, search for another song, until I found one I could handle.

Right now, I'm doing the inverse of you, learning piano when I know guitar. I'm doing a course which teaches you very basic song arrangements while it develops you chords and fingering skills, and I personally find it easier to pick up the techniques by practising along to arrangements I vaguely know, even if it's just a verse or chorus.

>New wooden sash with double glazing are better IMO than plastic windows

Hugely, I think it's a testament to the design that they still look great today. Double glazed wooden sash windows are however much pricier than a uPVC alternative which puts them out of reach of many.
Exactly, yet somehow larger and larger entities are naturally assumed to be the goal. Probably driven by the same capitalist logic the drives business.
> similar to how Youtube handles copyright claims

This is a practical suggestion, but not one I find reassuring. The Youtube copyright system works fairly well from the perspective of big rights holders, but is relentlessly abused for both censorship and corporate overreach in taking down fair-use or even non-infringing content.

That's basically the outcome I expect from a fake-news-takedown system, too. It would almost inevitably end up working for whoever was willing to throw the most time and money at manipulating content.

Go on.
There are tons of parser generators, but I find the code they generate unreadable and terrible for error reporting.
It's also important to separate, say, life expectancy at 30 from overall life expectancy, which usually includes infant mortality and fatal childhood illnesses of all sorts.

I'm not sure when they will release a product in the vein of "iGlasses", but I'm certain they won't release an AR device that "looks like a normal pair of sunglasses" within 10 years. This isn't a situation where incremental progress will make this possible, there would need to be a fundamental breakthrough in battery and GPU efficiency that, while possible, is not necessary inevitable and definitely not on track within a predictable timeline.
If you have to pay their engineer, there's surely nothing to stop them charging an inflated price that more than covers the parts cost, no?

True. Escaping the law, sexual harassment of employees and low wage to drivers aside, it will still make me feel very inconvenienced to see Uber go out of business. Not even Lyft comes close to how good and fast the Uber app is. I was sold the first time I used it. I just hope some other company steps in to fill in the void.

A very high tax when the owner is not in the country and also isn't renting the property at fair market value. Basically, you should use the property somehow rather than merely hoarding, storing, and withholding the property from its purpose. If it's not being used, the tax would be a total obscenity. Punitive. e.g. 90% tax on the profit of the home sale. If you're a foreigner parking money in real estate, not using that real estate, and disallowing it to be used? Thank you for your contribution to our society. Pay up.

Proof of living in the residence is necessary for some kinds of loans, so it's not a new concept. And the tax can be settled once every X years (maybe 3), or at home sale.
Then keep using taxis. Good luck

My point is that if I needed to build and sell 200,000 of something over 10 years, I can't order that many from the Raspberry Pi foundation and trust the piece will still be around the entire time. And if I wanted 200,000 of the Broadcom parts, they wouldn't sell it to me in that small of a quantity.

The OSD3358 is definitely the right approach, since putting high-speed impedance/timing matched DDR lines on a board to make it work right with a modern 1GHz+ CPU is a much higher level of difficulty. Plus you will also need to make your PCB 8 or 10 layers to shield the interference which increases the cost.

I thought package-on-package (like the AM335x's predecessor, the OMAP) was the way to go, but I'm starting to like the monolithic package better.

Hash table updates are quick until you have to rehash.

Rehashing can be done in the background, but then you had added code complexity, you'll be doing significantly more I/O during the rehashing (did you think about rehashing when sizing your machines?) and in pathological cases, you can run out of hash table space before the resize is complete. Now what?

To be fair, the company said they've tried hiring people without bachelor's degrees in the past, and it hadn't worked out. So I actually never got as far as to apply for a visa.

But I check out the point systems the Canadian visa system has, and it turns out that I could get without a bachelor's degree, but only if I aced the language test. Apparently, without the degree, you have to get the highest points available from the language test.

Idunno, they made two equivalent models of computation. I think that Alan's discrete computational model is more useful for programmable computers, Alonzo's is more useful for FPGAs and circuitry. Alan just turned out to have the model which was most amenable to direct mapping of a stored-program computer. If you want to run Alonzo's model on a stored program computer, you need a compiler. And to do it efficiently, you need a better compiler than has ever been devised.

A major difference here is that humans don't have user defined stimuli.

Human intelligence evolved because of the need to survive which evolved because of the need for genetic replication. Our need to survive lead to a nervous system which created the need for a central management platform (the brain).

People do understand the deep-learning models they create. They're based on a user defined limit for error which is the mathematical distance between what is and what is not.

I think that until we have an algorithm that can rewrite itself optimizing for existence (bug-less-ness and a continuous power supply?), we won't even scratch the surface of general AI.

I'm moving from Birmingham UK to northern Italy at the end of the year. I will work remotely for the same employer, life is cheaper down there, and actually quality of life is higher in terms of healthcare, transportation, and services.

I didn't imagine the last part before I moved here, but a few years dealing with both the NHS and private health providers, plus poor bus transportation and street safety in Birmingham, changed my mind.

I have a similar opinion of the healthcare in the US, where I also lived for some time. Central Europe provides surprisingly good healthcare and even the private option is far cheaper.

I actually was looking for a house outside of Birmingham, but I decided to wait until after the referendum. After that I had little doubt I'd leave. The net effect for the UK will be that I'll pay taxes to another country. I'm not even complaining about paying more taxes.
