I see what you're saying, but I suspect the top-down approach is not the cause of the usability issues with Anaconda. The problems are simply that it isn't always clear which buttons do what, which partitions are about to get zapped, and what the next action should be at any given point. It's not unusable, but it could be easier.

The Blivet GUI looks like it could fix many of these issues.

“All difficult conjectures should be proved by reductio ad
absurdum arguments. For if the proof is long and complicated
enough you are bound to make a mistake somewhere and hence a
contradiction will inevitably appear, and so the truth of the
original conjecture is established QED.”

I think you are taking the terms used too literally.

I certainly wouldn't call coke or pepsi bland or inoffensive. They are certainly familiar since we have all had them hundreds of times. The article does a good job of explaining why the store brand sodas don't capture the same market share.

And, yes, mayo and poundcake are "bland" and "unexciting". But I've had some pretty terrible homemade mayo and poundcakes.
Not a fan of the 3D chart they used - lots of data gets hidden by towering spires, and the camera tilt adds its own bit of distortion.

Roguelike would probably be the simplest, since you don't need to worry about creating visual assets, and time / space is mathematically simpler (turns & tiles).

Junior engineers filling up the quota is actually preventing senior engineers from getting through. There is always demand for high quality senior engineers, and companies like more choice.
Somebody who does not even know you exist, puts up a drawing which they have no idea whether you will see or not, for their own purposes which you have no way of knowing, and you happen to come across it and feel bad. I think it's not fair to the word "bullying" to use it in this context.

There's a point where the word is no longer appropriate--I think "passive" bullying is an oxymoron. A bully is someone who targets someone else, and makes that person feel bad by repeatedly abusing them verbally and physically. This is a very bad thing, which is why the word is powerful, but it's very different from words like "offensive", which is more in line with what you mean. You are made uncomfortable by it, the poster likely has no intention whatsoever toward you.
Back when Austin, Round Rock, and Georgetown were actually places separated from each other by at least a mile or so of scrub and no development you had Dell and a couple of other early dot-com companies mint a large batch of nouveau riche techies who had dreams of 'the next big thing' happening in Austin. I left before the crash and the subsequent agglomeration of the entire area into a single contiguous mass of strip malls and condo complexes, but it seems to me that Austin has had its share of locally generated rich people as well.
of course that would be outrageous! we should be giving them millions in bonus!

We're building an SMS chatbot for the Canadian cannabis market. It allows you to purchase marijuana directly from dispensaries and licensed producers in a few messages. We’re adding NLP and a basic recommendation engine to help increase retention and drive purchases.

We built out the infrastructure in a hackathon and are grinding away at an MVP. Starting to demo for dispensaries soon. I think we’re really on to something! People have been texting their drug dealer since.. well, the advent of cell phones, so we aren’t changing behaviour. It’s just nicer to chat with a friendly bot (with dispensary to doorstep delivery) than exchanging goods from a blacked-out Malibu in a Walmart parking lot.

Landing page here: http://hicanna.io/ Super happy to discuss our stack or anything else if you’re interested in the project.
Yeah, the concern is that cars are following too far behind to be in DRS range. That said, one of the main things we heard about over the last few years was that one of the main consequences of close following, was increased tire degradation, which seems to be much less of an issue this year with the new tires.
I'm with you on this. The bloatware in modern operating systems, even once you take away the PC-vendor garbage, is appalling.

I feel like they could keep things the way they are, and offer an AOSP-like vanilla version for people who generally know what they're doing (Google does a pretty good job with limiting it).

I'd pay hundreds of dollars more for this software option (have previously considered hiring someone to do it in the past on a new PC, but I have had bad experiences with PC repair shops).

I bought my spouse a new PC and literally had to spend HOURS removing software and decoupling McAffee from Windows. An i5-based system was out of the box crippled while it downloaded updates and software from the Windows store that I didn't even want to begin with.

OSX is markedly better, but I don't need siri, icloud, chess, ilife, dvd player, photo booth... the list goes on.

Interesting timing. This article was referred to by a founder of Sir Kensington's ketchup (subsequently condiment) company in an interview on NPR founders series "From Scratch" [1] on Mar 27, 17. He mentioned that this helped confirm their belief that there could be a future in their product/start-up. It was an interesting interview. As is so often the case, they didn't have a clue what they were doing when they started-up, or even that they were "starting up". Recommended.

It's very easy to set up an RStudio server. I used to run one on Azure. Took minutes to set up and you get the whole RStudio suite, including R notebooks.
I use ConEmu in windows as my terminal of choice.. there are options to add an "open command prompt here" to the registry for directories/folders so you can right-click in explorer... You can also configure git-bash as your default... Copy/paste also get better... with the windows terminal, you can go into the config and choose the quick paste option, I forget what it's called on a mac at work.

Mostly, I use vs code, and open that from where I am in explorer.. it has it's own terminal that opens in the current directory, that I change to use git-bash -l, adding in the git prompt script(s). Overall it works very well, imho better than bash for windows (ubuntu userspace).

Pleasantly Surprise that Mac Pro is still alive and getting a remake. Not only are they not killing it, they are also Pre-announcing it. Both action seems very Un-Apple.

My guess is that, Mac Pro, no iMac update, and Macbook Pro with touchbar had many pro users worried and start freaking out. And Apple think they needed to do something fast because they dont have anything to shown in the short term. I also wonder why touchbar wasn't questioned in the Interview if they think it was a mistake. TouchID is great, Touch bar is not.

In 5 years time, by 2022 we are very likely to get 7nm from Intel and 5nm from TSMC. There is no reason why, within the same thermal budget, we cant fit a 16 Core CPU, a GPU that is equal or faster then today's Top GPU, 128GB RAM, and PCI-E 4.0 SSD. I.e This iMac will be faster then many of the Mac Pro sold today, and likely to cover majority of the Pro uses.

That is why I am surprised at Apple continue to support the Mac Pro. It is highly likely the numbers of Mac Pro sales will continue to shrink.

I hope Apple look at Rack usage as one of the factor in its design. I see Mac Pro in Severs Rack as one of the potential to greatly increase its sales.

Have you looked into adding navigation / mapping / and comms to your dive computer? My company has a side project building a dive watch for divers. It has a navigation system and communications aspect where divers can send messages to each other and track a dive buddy's position. The project is mostly for fun but there is a market for it.
Congrats on the launch!

I was investigating the same topic (PG based timeseries database) for a stock tick data project, would definitely give timescaledb a try.

Since financial data is mentioned in the blog, would be curious on how it performed / scaled in practical.
I haven't even thought about graphs, I just called 'benchmark' the output of time(1).

Yes, indeed. I assure you, I've been fighting this particular battle since 2008 :-)

In any case, I hope you'll be pleased to learn that 17.04 will actually use "swap files" rather than "swap partitions", which are far more easily adjusted after the fact, than swap partitions.
>"Show Path Bar" isn't interactive, but it's worth noting that the Command-Click trick lets you navigate to any of the folders along the path, not just display them.

Not sure what "isn't interactive" means, but the OS X "path bar" let's you do the exact same thing (as you describe for the command-click on the folder icon): by clicking on any folder along the path you can navigate to it.

Note that it takes a double-click for that though. Perhaps you were only single-clicking?

That's kind of my point. You end up with the option of 1) it's centralized. Everyone only cares about who Mastodon.social federates with. How it's built to work doesn't actually matter. 2) It's centralized. Users wrestle control from Mastodon.social and everyone cares about who some other server federates with. 3) It's a balkanized mess. You spend all your time worrying about who you're federated with so that your content and the content you want to see become accessible. 4) It's decentralized, but nobody really bothers with banning anyone anyway, because it leads to the other scenarios and they are worse.

Quality control: DL is a blackbox.

I remember a discussion on gamedev.net once where exactly this was brought up. Its very hard or even impossible to tune an ANN to behave how the designers want it to. Simpler systems may not be as technically intelligent, but their behaviour can be tuned, encouraged, scripted etc to provide the experience that the designers wish.

Beyond that, I remember they also talked about how it simply wasn't worth it because game AI isn't about being smart, its about being fun, interesting and "looking smart" (ie looking humanlike, human flaws and all). Machine learning is simply solving a different set of problems than what games have.
I'm working on a service, WillYou DidYou, two brothers to help people think about and follow up with their goals, like going for walks, or doing laundry. Will asks in the morning if you will (go for a walk, for example) and did asks in the evening if you actually did it.

It's not a technically amazing app - it's purposefully boring on that front. I think i have, 6 DB tables. I've put a lot of focus on making it enjoyable and useful. It's in beta right now, but it's helped me improve myself, and I hope to have it available for sale soon. Getting public info going is my next todo.
Let me force you to be concrete. What right are you even talking about?

Oh... you joke, but I have a good friend who has some interesting issues (totally worth adapting to them, he's a great guy) especially around foods and tastes and smells. He figured out that you can buy flavoring from those big labs out in New Jersey, and they make everything.

He has a different mouthwash for each day of the week, and one of them is Bermuda grass. To his credit, it really tastes specifically like fresh Bermuda grass. So... your idea might not be unattainable, and IIRC soda is one of the forms those companies often experiment in.

YOLO indeed.
Thank you all.. I am finally getting some search requests. I applied for startupschool and was desperately looking at the logs everyday for someone to try it out :)

With 50K plus amazing companies that applied, it is very difficult to stand out :( Slowly building a team with some of the best engineers that I had the pleasure of working with to take this to the next level. We badly wanted to get into the startupschool to help guide us and get us to the next level. Wish we were part of the program, but glad everybody gets to view the lectures :)
That might say more about the average player of modern cod games than the AI to be honest..

Most pub games on cod are too easy and thus you might as well be shooting bots. I would be truely impressed if the bots could match games in clanmatches etc.

Of course, the point would be to have AI good enough for the average player. so that is pretty neat!

You also did not have to suffer from kids shouting on the voicechat and all the bad community parts :-)
I agree on one level (literally, not figuratively) - if you have awesome (or even bearable :P) deployment for your software stack. We can do that.

On the other level, there's stuff we see as core infrastructure (for example Hardware, or even some parts of OpenStack running on that hardware) - of course there are also downtimes and emergencies and dumpster fires - but they are pretty much unique little snowflakes and the repeating ones happen a few times per year. There simply is nothing "to deploy". Maybe one can argue that "runbook" is not 100% correct, sometimes it's a runbook including debug info.

But it's not turtles all the way down, and I stand to my point there's stuff where the cost to benefit ratio totally ends up at "automate it away" and there's other stuff where it's the opposite.
Postgres Compare, a Postgres schema comparison tool.
https://www.postgrescompare.com

There are many many businesses using SQL Server, Oracle or similar that would like to switch to Postgres but face the challenge of not only moving the database but also the tools they use for managing those databases. One such tool is a solid schema comparison product so I'm building it!

This looks promising! Somewhat unrelated question, but has anyone had success using AWS DynamoDB as a time-series database? I'm generally curious on the case for a "managed" TSDB versus setting up your own open source one.
Incorrect, read the whole paragraph:

> When something is high in amplitude, all its constituent elements converge into a single gestalt. You can’t isolate the elements of an iconic, high-amplitude flavor like Coca-Cola or Pepsi. But you can with one of those private-label colas that you get in the supermarket. “The thing about Coke and Pepsi is that they are absolutely gorgeous,” Judy Heylmun, a vice-president of Sensory Spectrum, Inc., in Chatham, New Jersey, says. “They have beautiful notes—all flavors are in balance. It’s very hard to do that well. Usually, when you taste a store cola it’s”— and here she made a series of pik! pik! pik! sounds—“all the notes are kind of spiky, and usually the citrus is the first thing to spike out.

Mountain Dew is citrus. Doritos is nacho cheese. There is no higher order flavors here. They are strong flavors. But they lack the "balance" of creations.
> I'm a diehard racing fan and F1 is the absolute pinnacle of car technology.

F1 is also the pinnacle of absurdity. I say this as a diehard fan myself, having been to 14 races over the past 6 years and having followed the sport for 25 years. I was in Melbourne the weekend before last, I'll be in China this coming weekend. Just for the races, nothing else.

The thing is, it feels more absurd now than ever, as the technology has reached the point that overtaking aids have to be brought in. DRS, KERS, etc. Before it was just flying all over the world to drive in circles, now it's flying all over the world to drive in circles with artificial overtaking aids to improve the show.

I still think it's great though.

Well, having (or lacking) a sexual orientation or identity is not politics, it just is. But expressing it, identifying with others who share it, forming groups and alliances and a shared sense of community is precisely what politics is. I think we pretty much agree.

I've been doing something very similar under Ubuntu for the last year or two (I manually launch a script that resembles your last xrandr snippet whenever I dock my hidpi ThinkPad with my 1440p secondary display). It tends to have varying degrees of success depending on updates that come out.

For one, I have to repeat some of the commands in my script because otherwise I don't end up with the same end result every time. After it's done, for some reason the cursor arrow flickers when it's on the primary display. Sometimes, if I'm unlucky, UI window shadows will draw in the wrong place, and when I'm REALLY unlucky the script crashes X entirely.

Right now I'm hoping that Wayland (or, if I have to, Mir) end up built in a way that makes this kind of configuration stable, intuitive, and sane.
There was a discussion a few years ago about revamping/updating the Django Admin - but I don't think it got much traction:

Simply because Canada doesn't have the natural climate for growing Coca nor Cannabis.

Nowadays it doesn't matter as much since a significant amount of production can be done in greenhouses and there are other more synthetic products with market share, but the damage is already done to those poorer countries, and the cartels already wield too much influence.

Kidding aside though, it's not as though a soda is going to ruin you, but a diet of mainly Dew and Doritos and other "high octane" foods will make normal food taste unbelievably bland for a while.
TimescaleDB does auto-sizing of the child tables (chunks) to keep write performance relatively constant while also making retention policy easy to do. That is, we make sure the chunks are aligned to time unit (e.g. an hour or a day) so when you want to remove data its dropping whole tables rather than individual rows.

Additionally, TimescaleDB comes with optimizations on the query side specifically for time-series data.
I'd like to second what the poster above said. My main stack is flask and in my most recent project I decided to use DRF since I was working with a pretty simple data model. It was stunning how much faster it is to go from nothing -> v0 vs building in flask.
