Honestly I just don't like the Java runtime. I'm probably biased, but years of hating Java are the only reason I still haven't learned Clojure. The biggest issue I remember having was with the build system. Sure there are plenty of capable make-like programs, but I want to understand how to run the compiler and linker myself, and I seem to remember butting my head against classpath last time I tried to get into Java, and simply giving up. Am I just crazy?
Not an expert but PGMs are mostly a superset of NN, so it's kinda understandable.
It happens when you play full-screen videos on a mac. The full screen mode displays in a more direct screen access manner (but only after any overlays, like video controls, have faded out). In this mode, f.lux's color profile changes can cause weird blooming issues, especially in bright ares of the video (like a blue sky). Apple seems to have built their solution in a way that avoids this issue.

It's likely f.lux cannot ever do anything about it. Until Night Shift was available, I've been in the habit of of creating "low color temp" color profiles and manually setting my display to them when it gets late in the day (a crude approximation of f.lux, but ultimately the same thing they are doing). It always produced the same artifact.

Incidentally, I find it strange that f.lux is claiming they output so much less blue light than Apple's Night Shift, since as far as I can tell, all they do is shift the color profile, just like Night Shift does. Anyone who has seen the video issues I'm describing above can attest that there is still plenty of blue light coming out of the screen with f.lux (and manual color profile adjustments). All three accomplish the same thing, it's just that Apple's implementation appears to be cleaner and work in more cases (not surprising -- it's their system, so presumably they know how to integrate with it better than anyone). I think perhaps at most they have a point that the default settings are maybe not "warm" enough, but that's the only flaw I can see.
'man jail_attach' is somewhat extensive if you wish do your things like one fork in one jail another in another. I have to admit similar thing you can do in linux containers just bu spawning 'nsenter' with various parameters.
Yes, you are correct in that an inexperienced Git user can mess up, I won't deny that. My issue here is that Kite requires you to proactively place a .kiteignore, before even whitelisting a directory. It also doesn't alert you that it's about to start indexing the files in the directory tree or that you need to add a .kiteignore to protect sensitive files before you whitelist them. At a minimum they should be respecting the existing .gitignore, and realistically they just be scrubbing all strings before sending any data.

I can 'git add .' and commit my life away, but that requires much more intention and explicitness than clicking enable on a prompt and continuing your standard workflow (ie: a simple 'vi super_seceret_file.py')
I think you missed the point of the article completely.

Which is:

Containers are not actually a _thing_. BSD Jail is a _thing_, Zones are a _thing_... Linux containers are just a particular configuration of _multiple things_.

PIDs in containers CAN be like PIDs in BSD Jails... if that is what you want. It's up to you to use what Linux primitives you want in your containers.

For example:

I can run a application in a 'linux container' that shares PID, user, and network namespace with the main OS.. and the only thing that is different is that the file system is namespaced. I can run cgroups without running namespaces. I can run namespaces without cgroups.

Now if you want to talk about _Docker containers_ then, yes, that is a _thing_, but it's just one of many different possible ways to have Linux containers.
What browser are you using that makes SSL "a hassle," with or without SNI?
It's really strange to reply sarcastically to someone pointing out the author made some fundamental mistakes.

I can vouch for the Aura One, it's a lovely device. The screen color temperature adjustment goes very warm. Tough to eyeball without a side-by-side reference, but I'd guess at least down to 2200K.

I've seen it referred to as RGB LEDs for the backlight, but I think it's more likely to be two-channel mixing with cool white and warm white, as is common on "tunable white" light fixtures. All you get for control is a cool/warm slider or auto, so the hardware is a bit immaterial the average user (though it would affect the blue wavelengths present in the spectrum). I think we have some sort of spectrometer around the office, I'll have to see if I can track that down and check.

I love f.lux but I always end up uninstalling it because of how it messes up with games when they are running. Performance tanks and I get tired of switching out and killing f.lux every time.
>Jobs killed it not because it was bad, but because Flash was fast becoming the platform for the web.

It had already become the platform for the web. I read somewhere that Adobe outsourced all their development sometime around 2005. By the time they needed to pivot and make it lean, they didn't have the knowledge anymore. I don't know how true this is though.

It was also a memory hog and wouldn't run well on a first generation iPad. Jobs used H.264 for video and it ran much better than Flash.
Given Spain has power of veto, seems hell-bent on preventing Catalonian seccession, and as recently as a few months ago was reiterating its opposition to an easy Scottish accession to the EU[0], I think the burden on proof lies on those making the claim against.

I used "Probabilistic Graphical Models" By Koller/Friedman

[0] https://www.amazon.com/Probabilistic-Graphical-Models-Princi...
"I do not mean to say he is not an incredibly accomplished person, only to say that he does not live up to his self-generated hype."

I think that summarizes how I feel, which is why I said it. I never said any of the things you imply. But let's take a specific example which shows why Elon Musk isn't as great as he says.

Tesla's autopilot function has killed at least 2 people (one in the US and one in China). Elon Musk continues to spin this technology as amazing, and completely overhype the technology by saying it can achieve level 4 autonomy. As someone who's spent over 10 years working on self-driving cars, I can tell you definitively that the sensor suite on the upcoming Tesla cannot do it. And now you'll say "well maybe he knows something you don't" You're right - maybe he does. But if he doesn't then he's a liar and he should be called out on it because people have literally died and he has shirked himself of responsibility for it.

Elon Musk is a salesman first and foremost and people have literally died as a result of it.

You have to trust someone at some point if you want to use the internet at all.

Do you trust any VPN providers? Or your ISP? Or the programmers of the browser that you're using? Or your CPU manufacturer? It's turtles all the way down.

Perfect is the enemy of good. If that protocol was open, it might foster a way to fold VPNs into the everyday person's internet connection, with the possibility to easily change VPN providers down the track.
I think the selective bias is simply to choose interesting stories, not push a narrative. The guy who was 'Not Black Enough' simply did not have a particularly interesting story to tell.

Although there is a focus on black urban poverty, the media will sometimes also tell the other side of the story. For example, here [1] is a New York Times from last year: "Poverty is far more prevalent in black households than the general population, but the vast majority of African-Americans do not live in poverty. According to census data released last year, 26 percent of blacks live in poverty, compared with 15 percent of the country as a whole"

That sounds like a pretty balanced statement to me.

We (Google) do both.

Having recently done some coding in Swift to implement a little toy Hypervisor, I sorely missed these annotations. By and large the errors they catch are ones I'd be embarrassed to have pointed out in a code review; I don't mind nearly so much when the compiler catches me without my mutex locked.
The ProPublica you cite as example for bias in criminal justice is plainly wrong. A follow up study found the the system they examined was not biased at all.

Reference: Flores, Bechtel, Lowencamp; "False Positives, False Negatives, and False Analyses: A Rejoinder to “Machine Bias: There’s Software Used Across the Country to Predict Future Criminals. And it’s Biased Against Blacks.”", Federal Probation Journal, September 2016, You can find the article here: http://www.uscourts.gov/statistics-reports/publications/fede...

In fact the ProPublica analysis (written by journalists,not scientists) was so wrong that the authors of the study wrote:

"It is noteworthy that the ProPublica code of ethics advises investigative journalists that "when in doubt, ask" numerous times. We feel that Larson et al.'s (2016) omissions and mistakes could have been avoided had they just asked. Perhaps they might have even asked...a criminologist? We certainly respect the mission of ProPublica, which is to "practice and promote investigative journalism in the public interest." However, we also feel that the journalists at ProPublica strayed from their own code of ethics in that they did not present the facts accurately, their presentation of the existing literature was incomplete, and they failed to "ask." While we aren’t inferring that they had an agenda in writing their story, we believe that they are better equipped to report the research news, rather than attempt to make the research news."

What you call corruption, others call evolution. The fact of the matter is that there is no authority defining English. As a result, there is no way of objecctively deterimining if something is plain wrong. The best we can do is going by usage. You can try to influence usage, certainly, but some of those battles are simply not winnable.

Note that the prominent English dictionaries have usage panels that make judgements about whether the usage of a certain form of a word is sufficiently wide as their criteria for inclusion.

It's not that it is not ok to identify something as wrong, but you will need to accept that people will disagree with it, and that what is wrong to you now may very well have enough support in usage that the battle is already lost. When you then opt for comparisons to Trump, then it is not surprising that you get downvotes.

A lot of the "I'll say it however I please" is down to usage. I'll drag out my favourite example: "begs the question". It's my favourite because I didn't even know about the original meaning until I started seeing rants about how horrible the new meaning was. Do a search for it today, and the results are dominated by sites complaining about how awful the change is, and articles about it.

To date, I can recall only one instance where I've seen the original meaning used outside of such a rant. It's basically a lost battle, where people will often respond along the lines of "I'll say it however I please" for the simple reason that to most people the original meaning is entirely foreign because of its niche usage.

Usage panels, which often lags trends like this, for good reason, have in recent years started tipping towards the new usage for "begs the question", often marking the original form as "formal", because ultimately language is about communication, and you can not communicate effectively if you pretend the most common form doesn't exist. Here [1] is an article at Merriam Webster discussing the issue.

> As Republican Governor of New Mexico.

When running for governor, Johnson campaigned on a platform of marijuana decriminalization and harm reduction for all other drugs. This was during the height of the Clinton-era anti-drug hysteria - you'd be hard pressed to find many other politicians who supported harm reduction at that point.

There are things to dislike about Johnson, but criticizing him on drug policy is really bizarre. He's been one of the strongest (if not the strongest) political advocate for abolishing the War on Drugs for over two decades - much more vocally so and for far longer than any other politician I can name offhand.

"If it's a hostname it has to correspond to a valid domain name, right?"

If it is listed in the ICANN DNS, maybe.

Most of the time I do not use DNS when reading the www. I have my own databases of the info I need to reach websites. Not that I expect anyone else would do this, but it is very fast and reliable.
Have you tried setting it to a very mild color shift, and then perhaps working up slowly?
I had to read the post twice before I really got what she was saying. I think the distinction I would make is that while there are many more use cases that you can apply to Containers that may not apply to Jails, Zones, or VMs the most common use case of "run an app inside a pre-built environment" applies to all of them. Since I believe most users (or potential users) of Containers are only looking at that use case, it's harder to see the differences between the different technologies.

My only hope is that anyone in a position of making a decision on which technology to use can at least explain at a high level the difference between a Container and a VM.

Maybe this explains the time I found a $20 bill in a rather obscure library book.
The thing is, you can't escape from the guided tour and they only take you to places on list of about 20 approved tourist sites. You can't escape the hotel. So there is no opportunity to wander around the DPRK and actually see the dystopia, you only see the Potemkin village facade.
Since you are being sarcastic, I don't think a docker engineer had much experience with a jail() system call to speak about flexibility of non-linux OS primitives.
Don't forget about two car households. We have an x1 and an i3 as our commuter car. The i3 will eventually be replaced with a Tesla, the x1 will not.
Because in Thiel's case, he has repeatedly demonstrated himself as being in favor of privacy more than not. That said, it's unlikely Thiel would get personally involved, and it's unlikely Trump would go against such a block Republican vote (especially given the party's cohesion problems currently, Trump needs them all to get on to tax cuts & infrastructure etc).

>A mech shouldn't cost more than $30

You can't buy a set of switches for that. Building a mechanical keyboard is inherently expensive, before you even get into economies of scale. Adjusted for inflation, mechanical keyboards are far cheaper than they used to be.

The amortized cost of a quality keyboard is tiny, because it will have a lifespan measured in decades rather than years.

There are tons of non-hipster keyboards available. Filco, Leopold and Cherry have been around since well before the current trend. Unicomp still make buckling-spring keyboards based on the old IBM designs.
I was working a laaate shift (datacenter migration) at work one night and came back to my desk around 4am.. my screens were straight up dark burnt orange.

I thought something was broken, was checking cables, rebooted, etc, until I realized that I'd just never seen what f.lux did at 4 in the morning before. Felt pretty stupid.
No, from the article 'Solaris Zones, BSD Jails, and VMs are first class concepts.' It's just happens that jail as a name, jail as a cmd tool and jail as a system call bears the same name. Nothing stops one to implement superfancyjails on top of that system call. Same story with Linux containers, we have clone(), unshare(), and setns() and couple of popular implementations on top of them.
Thus, lets say, 'man systemd-nspawn' container is _thing_ as 'man 8 jail' is _thing_
There's also the question of how the transition is implemented.

My [relative] is [in a tech role] for [large insurer]). They recently laid off all of their in-house tech staff save for her, in favor of outsourcing, and are leaving him to train and guide the entirety of the new staff. Meanwhile, they did absolutely nothing to keep his morale/loyalty, nor to ensure he was incentivized to do this task well. So, unsurprisingly, he's counting the days to retirement and letting the clusterf*s mount.

I'm sure there was a way to handle this that wasn't ludicrously inept; the result, however, will be laid at the feet of the foreign workers that have little training and no access to the now-lost institutional knowledge.
Only partially. Your ISP can sell what domains you visit and the details of those visits such as duration. Your ISP can push various trackerware that steps in front of the https. Your ISP can do trackerware pre-installs on hardware you buy for example, such as smartphones.

Actually it isn't. As Peter Thiel would say, globalization is the copying of existing technology, it is not the manufacture of new ones.

One reason we have stagnated can be revealed in the bias of our new language. Where we once used the terms "1st World" and "3rd World" we now use "Developed" and "Developing" -- language that is excessively bullish about globalization while implicitly pessimistic about technology.
PGM's are great, but my experience from Koller's course is that it is very hard to identify cases where they can be used.

Part of the reason is that you need a-priori knowledge of the causal relationships (coarse grained I.e direction) between your variables.

Presumably if you're doing ML you don't know those causal relationships to begin with.

Particularly good fits are things like physics where laws are known.
Huh, I expected the playfulness of the term would come through. Sorry about that.

This was a term coined by engineers to explain why the behavior that seemed, and still seems, so obviously right to a certain kind of brain can be so unwelcome in general.
But what's also not mentioned is that AT&T and Verizon have already shown willingness to sell use browser data via supercookies http://techmeme.com/search/query?q=supercookies&wm=false, and the reason they backed off is because the FCC showed it had a spine. There is every reason to believe ISPs will begin these practices again because these rules have been lifted and Ajit Pai-led FCC is very different from Wheeler's... and there is very little reason for ISPs to fear losing consumer trust because of few local high speed options
Easy to prove =/= Easy to discover (+).

It is simple to say E=MC^2.

That doesn't take away from the fact that it was very hard for it to be discovered.

And it's a good thing.
It's a good thing that things which were hard to discover can be communicated easily.
Otherwise we wouldn't be able to compress thousands of lifetimes worth of discoveries into a one-semester lecture.

It certainly is. When I run it on a system from >10 years ago, I can definitely tell the difference. With the systems I use now, however, the difference is a negligible one.
There's an excellent course on PGM by Koller on Coursera. My friend took it and now he's a PGM evangelist. If you are wondering where PGM lies in the spectrum of machine learning, you should research the difference between generative and discriminate modeling. We have been driven to PGM to solve our ML problem that was hard to frame as A NN. Mainly because we had some priors we needed to encode to make the problem tractable. It reminds me a little of heuristics in search.
