TorchMPI: A Torch framework message passing interface for parallel computations
"The Road Less Traveled" by M Scott Peck.

By far the best self-improvement book I've read. About discipline, love, growth and religion, and grace. I don't consider myself to be religious, but it's made me apply traditional values and spiritual growth from religion to help me become a better person.
Apple Releases MacOS 10.12.4 with Night Shift
I think it may depend on the congressperson, but we've spoken directly to staffers. All of them have told us that email is the least effective way to reach out. Some of them are even picky about where you call, and suggest that calls to the main DC line are the only ones that count; others say that calls are tallied at all regional field offices.

Nobody has advised us not to call.
This looks excellent, I used moto to do some unit testing of a Python application and was wondering if anything existed to make unit testing other codebases easier. There's always the risk of diversion from AWS resources but I think it's a small risk, generally AWS seems to stay fairly consistent for legacy when new features are introduced.
I stopped using it in the traditional sense 3 years ago.

Recently I picked it back up, but now I spend most of my time in private or public topic groups. I find there are some decent posts in groups where members have to be invited or approved to join.

The animations make the site seem slow. I'm waiting 1 - 2 secs before interacting with each page. Also, scrolling the page is interrupted when you're hovering over the boxes.
just fyi it's possible to change the commit history, so no "proof" ;)
It could be. There's no context here. In this constructed example sure, it's not a friendly gesture. But it is a poor example.
Here's the one I'd use:

> I strongly disagree. Have you seen "enterprise fizzbuzz"?* I don't mean disrespect but you are kidding yourself if you think Java isn't as complex (if not more) than the current JavaScript ecosystem. I spent 6 years programming in Java and never felt I scratched 10% of the surface.

But that’s the point. That’s all just code. Just normal code. Not additional command line utilities. Even Enterprise FizzBuzz can be compiled simply with gradle or maven. No processors. No transpilers.

> To build on your Java comparison -- this is would be akin to using a new feature that is still in the JSR approval process, and then downloading an edgey JVM platform (maybe OpenJDK nightly, or something like that) and then complaining when your app gets more complicated.

But I can do that. And I just have to import one single plugin – https://github.com/evant/gradle-retrolambda, and never configure it! Nothing to configure, nothing else. One import, and I’m done.

Look at that fizzbuzz enterprise build.gradle, it’s 29LOC!

The problem of "good defaults" was never even considered in the JS world, it seems.

Yes, it is an uncontroversial fact that the number of computer science degrees achieved correlates to the social perception of CS as a path to wealth, and the implication is that some people enrol in CS because they think there is money in it - http://www.geekwire.com/2014/analysis-examining-computer-sci...

Do they brand them as "Netflix Originals" there? Netflix has an annoying tendency to do that in the US when they're merely the first or exclusive local distributor.
I don't know. Maybe you just offer competitive salaries for everyone and everyone wants to work for you. Maybe your superstars actually get a different title and responsibilities and you're just more upfront about how you decide. I think there are plenty of companies out there with a pretty narrow band for any given position and this way of doing things eliminates the anxiety about whether you negotiated well or not.

Also, I think most companies can't really hope to attract the world's very best programmers anyway. If everyone says they're hiring the best they can't all be right.
I disagree with your generality. I think women who work in startups and thrive/survive in that environment are probably more resilient than the average woman, but I also think that imposter syndrome is rampant in all women in the tech field, and that's usually not a sign of self-assurance.

As with everyone, there's things that you as an individual can let slide and be OK with, and there's things that another person can let slide and be OK with. My wife's an engineer (PE) in a very traditional male-dominated field, and she's good enough at what she does that she gets put on the big projects as the lead. When she deals with prejudice and outright insults from older men, it's like water off a duck's back, because she's dealt with that situation for her entire education and career. Other women or younger men who treat her as an inferior really get under her skin.
> After having three 19" monitors for a couple very productive years, I tried switching to two 27" monitors. It added up to more space, to be sure, but I spent way too much time managing windows

That seems bit odd (in this specific case); half of a 27" display should have almost exactly the same screen-estate as a 19" screen (1280x1440 vs 1280x1024), and even Windows can do half (and quarter) screen layouts easily these days. So I don't really see why windows managing with 2x27" would be worse than 3x19"

This. It's explicitly capitalistic to be against socializing risk and privatizing profits -- which the is game being played with the current setup of trying to fund drug creation via patent monopolies combined with per unit regulatory pricing games.

Academia should be the primary means of drug discovery. Drug manufacturing and distribution _should_ be a commodity business. Anything otherwise and all research on the the outcome, scale of use, and effectiveness of different drugs becomes hopelessly distorted by marketing incentives and the influence of complex dependencies from the entire rest of the healthcare service pricing model.

Measuring drug creation effectiveness by trying to maximize the number of drugs on the market is like measuring software design effectiveness by number of lines of code.
Interestingly, I've heard women working in those fields lament the lack of male representation. In teaching and child care, some kids just respond better to men. In nursing, it's because men are generally going to have an easier time providing care for patients who are overweight.
Ultimately, his freedom and originality haven't been impinged; if he wants to say whatever he wants, he can make and host his own videos.

His freedom of speech doesn't override Disney's freedom of association or YouTube's freedom of the press; they're under no obligation to publish or promote anyone's content, and the counterweight to that is that people who don't like their policies can boycott them.

But you're unlikely to find a successful boycott organized around the notion that there should be no ramifications for paying strangers to hold up signs that say "Death To All Jews."
San Junipero is my favorite episode of any television series I've ever seen in my life, including In The Pale Moonlight from DS9.
I can only speak for myself, but I practically never run into any of those popular Javascript "gotchas" after using the language for so long. I've fallen into plenty of PHP traps, they tend to be a lot more subtle (especially that older one where a missing quote would error on the next line containing a quote), but JS's tend to be pretty avoidable, even in larger apps.
I sent this article to a female friend. Should I not have? Is this article inapplicable for 50% of mankind?
They are slower to decode mostly due to decreased cache locality. In sequential JPEGs you read one block worth of data, make pixels out of it, and write the pixels out. In progressive encoding, you need to write the pieces of coefficients back to memory at every scan -- the whole image won't fit into cache -- so there's one more memory roundtrip for every pixel. Also, there's just more symbols to decode in total.

That seems like an awfully ethnocentric perspective. It sounds like, "we understand things this way, therefore things can only be understood this way." I'm not saying there is or isn't more than one way to understand complex topics, but that it's possible there may not be only one way.

Initially, I was thinking the same thing. Given how fast the average Apple consumer updates to major iOS releases, I imagine that rolling it out over a point release is actually part of the plan.

Presumably, if something does go wrong on the individual level, the support burden on the genius bars will be lower (since major iOS releases have traditionally come alongside hardware releases), and if a major bug is found, the number of devices affected will also likely be smaller.

It stills feels wrong on a gut level, and semver folks might not be happy with it, but it seems to make some real sense.

edit: Also, if it went out with 11.0, coordinating all the bug fixes for a 11.0.1 would almost definitely take longer than whatever will be in 10.3.1 release, letting any APFS issues get tweaked faster.
I really like decomposing an image using wavelets (more than 2 layers, in general I use 7). You can make some good corrections on skin imperfections in the middle layers, keepin it natural (high frequencies untouched).

If Apple fucks something up, and your app don't run no more, it's your fault and it's now your problem.
I stopped using multi-monitor a few months ago, the advantages of just working from a single laptop started to outweigh the benefits of multi-monitors.

- the window-snapping is better on a smaller screen. Less fiddling to get the layout just right.

- the portability is great. Now I work from bed, couch, office, home, all in the same way.
A recurring pattern I've seen with online celebrities is that when they get popular enough for more mainstream media to notice them, they're suddenly held to the standards of mainstream sensibilities and judged in a mainstream light that can be very incompatible with their brand.

And their fans then defend them with "If you've seen their other stuff, you'd know that isn't unusual," which is a pretty thin defense---a bit like defending an arsonist with "Oh sure, nobody cared when they burned down all those grocery stores, but now that the WSJ is reporting on that orphanage..."

An insightful book, though like most business books (and especially the best business books) it's really a short paper (one excellent picture with a brief explanation) padded out so it will work on an airport bookshelf.

Chosen by God from R. C. Sproul.

It explains the sovereignty of God in salvation very well. It is one of the best explanations of Reformed Theology that I've found that is meant for a non-seminary student.

It might well be true, but the police themselves can't say that it's true in an irrevocable way. The recent indie film "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore" is an entertaining consideration of this scenario.

I mean sure, but if that's the nature of the relationship, nobody's going to be made uncomfortable by the invitation - that's probably why the context in which it was mentioned makes clear that's not the case in this hypothetical. My comments are addressed more toward the "what could possibly be wrong with that?" kind of response it seems to have elicited, and intend to supply that question an answer.

True. Still, I think most companies will take cost of living in the area where the potential employee lives into account. When thinking about it it seems odd, indeed. I guess it is kind of normal and expected. But entirely rational it is not.

I think you forget that you have to completely set aside human assumptions.

How will the aliens even know they are looking at signals encoding video and audio? Do aliens have technology and knowhow in the RF regime? Will they even be able to receive, store, or analyze the TV waveforms? Do they have the notion of amplitude and frequency modulation? Also, how will they know that the signal encodes video? Absent ground truth, low entropy (or equivalent measures like bigrams, Markov models, etc.) is the only way one can determine that a sequence is a language. Even if they are able to convert the RF signal to some low-entropy sequence of symbols, there is a very real possibility of them going off on a tangent: mapping the information to a completely different language.

A real world example is the symbols of Indus valley civilization. Several decades into the information age, and about a century since the seals were discovered, researchers haven't even conclusively established that the symbols encode a language.
I guess you'd have enjoyed SCWM[0], a window manager built with the cassowary[1] as a backend: Window layouts could be constrainted to get effects like "If I move my emacs-window to top-left, the xterm with the log output on top right moves to the left and hides behind it, same for the other xterm on bottom left, which will go up and hide behind emacs." Adding state based on whether you are using a single-monitor setup or a laptop with an attached 42-display wall would have been added as yet another set of contraints.

All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.

It might not actually be my first choice, but this one of the few on my short list that no one else has mentioned.

I read it in my mid teens (not too long after we stopped playing Rambo in the back yard) and it profoundly affected the way I view war, violence, and suffering. I've only read it the once (almost 25 years ago), and I hardly remember the story at all, but I vividly remember the feeling that it gave me.

System requirements for Night Shift:

Night Shift requires macOS Sierra 10.12.4 and one of these Mac computers,
using the built-in display or the displays listed:

• MacBook (Early 2015 or newer) • Apple LED Cinema Display
• MacBook Air (Mid 2012 or newer) • Apple Thunderbolt Display
• MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 or newer) • LG UltraFine 5K Display
• Mac mini (Late 2012 or newer) • LG UltraFine 4K Display
• iMac (Late 2012 or newer)
• Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)

So this doesn't work on arbitrary 3rd party displays, only Apple ones. That's a pretty big constraint. Edit: Some people are saying it works on their 3rd party monitors anyway.

This is a topic of great interest to me. In part because I love coding and think that anyone else that does should have the same opportunities. In part because though I'm a cis straight male, I've generally gotten along with women better as friends and colleagues. And in part because I'm generally socially liberal, so something like this where the TREND line is going in the wrong direction is particularly bothersome. (Racism, on the other hand, is something that is definitely wrong and definitely exists, but it's easier (though not "good") to be blase about it because the trend line is in the right direction.)

I've had two relatively recent discoveries on the topic (these may or may not be known to everyone else):

* One workplace I was at had an annual summer internship for high school women that had taken AP Comp Sci. Overwhelming the interns had a good experience, and a thing they commonly said was that they didn't expect coding to be so social. Given how U.S. women (at least) are socialized to be social and being judged by their success at being social, I can see that impression subconsciously turning away potential CS grads from ever entering the field.

* I've attended and read talks on the problem for the last decade or two, and I've seen a change in the messaging. Originally it was "women need to stand up, get mentors, and push harder". More recently, the messaging has been "Common male behaviors tend to push women away. Those places that are more diverse have been more successful. Let's reduce how much we push women to socialize like men, and perhaps teach men some of the positive ways women socialize".

That is, teach behaviors like:

* Don't shut down discussion, promote it

* Don't insult ideas

* Don't talk over people

* Make suggestions, not declarations

Now, I'm not saying that the behaviors women are taught are all good or positive, but within the realm of building consensus and being open to new ideas, these specific behaviors have been shown to work better.

Also, this change in messaging has been more useful to me: Originally, if I wanted to promote women in the field the advice was "Don't be a sexist jerk, and provide mentoring for junior coders that are women". Now the advice is "look to your own behaviors and improve them, and both men and women will benefit". It's way too early to say if this messaging is really an answer, but I feel like I've made positive changes based on it.

[ Side note: I've noticed that comments like these tend to inevitably kick off comments about how backstabbing and bitter the socialization between women is, a position often vigorously promoted by women themselves. I really can't say, other than the specific qualities I list above are positive ]
I'm saying that it's unhelpful in this example to not be more clear.
It seems like the definition of "imploded" in the context of JonTron and Pewdiepie is "lost an insignificant and negligible amount of subscribers".
The public outrage at what you perceive to be a "media hit job" is unlikely to come.

What you're witnessing is mainstream (pretty much) America rejecting something they're now aware of that's too outside the norm. PDP can keep making content, but there's not really a likely scenario where he gets paid by Disney to do it.
