Adapt? Really? It doesn't seem so. They are in their own world, and don't care.

But no wonder when you read about the crazy head of Sony Pictures, the woman that got kicked because of the scandals that got made public (emails leaked). For example we can "thank" her for that the Steve Jobs movie lost the The Social Network director and is now such a boring piece of movie.

We don't need hundreds of super hero movies, such a mass is stupid. Where are the funny movies, the action movies, the adventure movies? We want less CGI and more real action, or CGI looking like real action.

We want movies not boring hour long series, we have no time to waste hours for a stretched story arc.

The Accountant, (second half of) Bourne 2016, Jack Reacher 2, Mission Impossible Rogue Nation ... were good movies. But it gets harder and harder to find a few movies per year that are watchable. The last two X-Men movies were so bad, so many CGI effects, so dark, so little content that made the previous X-Men movies great. Were are the Die Hard 1-2, Air Force One, first three Tom Clancy movies of this decade - right, directors and script writers forgot how to pace a movie, as constant action is just wrong, you need intense action then calm situations and then action again and a bit humour does't hurt (something almost completely forgotten). I just saw a 1968 action movie and it was so much better (Steven Spielberg mentioned it's his favourite movie he sees up to), this decades Hollywood is in a sad state.
Nah its not the measure I'm not that shallow, but I have a mentality where I think playing the short game when it comes to consuming whatever makes me happy makes my life better than depriving myself out of fear of an early death.

It sounds dark, but I would genuinely rather die suddenly while enjoying my life to its fullest instead of clinging on and trying to extend it at the detriment of my fun (puffs cigarette and swigs from a bottle)

The one thing I like about The Economist is that it in a world in which everything is clearly left or right leaning, The Economist has a diversity of opinions that makes reading it actually interesting. I think the fact that the name of the writes is anonymous helps a lot in that feel that it's a diversity of opinions.

Does GP's friend also think that the National Review is too friendly towards the Clintons?
Yeah, I get that.

But damn, if you could later change permissions, and then they would forget, that would reduce your risk. It could get confusing, however.
No matter how smart you are (or think you are), or how much state you can store in your head at once, if you remove some of the mental overhead of a language, then you have more time to think about other things.

So you use a language that makes specifying ownership (and immutability hard)? I always feel Go adds a lot of mental overhead.

E.g., if you have a method that returns, say, a float32 slice. 1. If I return a slice of an array/slice that is a struct member, the caller could modify elements in the slice, breaking struct invariants. 2. Returning a copy of the slice is safe, but adds a lot of overhead. What you'd actually want is to return an immutable slice, but Go does not provide any facilities to do so (apart from wrapping a slice, but the lack of generics and operator overloading makes this tedious).

I guess a lot of Go code will just assume that returned pointers/slices/maps will not be used in a way that breaks invariants. But you usually end up reading the source code of 3rd party packages to see what is safe, whereas in other languages you could just read the method signature.

tl;dr: I think ownership and preserving invariants usually give the most mental overhead and Go does zero in that department.
Few years ago I witnessed a traffic accident in which a 16yo boy riding a motorcycle died.
I was the first to get to him trying to assess his condition and help. Those were his last moments. There was a lot of blood and I was helpless. I did my best but witnessed him dying anyway.
I was 32 years old. I never knew this boy. Nevertheless this was a life changing experience.
I'll never forget this neither will I forget having face his poor parents who wanted to hear about their son's final moments from the man who was there.
This experience will never stop haunting me.
I can easily imagine how devastating it can be for someone who's lost their friend. Especially when you're a kid.
If someone from your family experienced this, please don't go the "let's not bring this up" way.
That doesn't help.

Curious why this is one of my most hated comments in at-least a couple days ...
I had one of these connected to my Roland electric piano in the early nineties. I was amazed to discover I could connect it to my PC's soundblaster ISA card via its joystick port with a MIDI adapter cable and have an amazing soundtrack to Space Quest. It even displayed "Insert Buckazoid" on its one line, 20 char VF display.
Thank God we did.

Being a wordsmith, not a code smith, the view that words are just content to be monetized is wrong. This guy uses words to evoke emotions as novelists and poets have done for centuries and that has value.
Rust is almost always going to win for any projects that take a 'gradually replace' approach, simply because it can interact so easily with C code in both directions (i.e. C calling Rust and Rust calling C) in a way that other languages can't, or can't without significant efforts/hassle.

The Rust team showed great foresight for bringing about those changes before the initial 1.0 release and it will pay off in spades.

It's a key step in removing barriers to entry:

Yeah, super annoying. Quick trick is to copy the URL and search for it on Google—sites like FT allow traffic that comes referred from search engines like Google.
Stable/unstable/negative/positive feedback loops are technical terms in control theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_feedback). I'm using those terms for specific reasons. I don't quite see what you're objecting too. Studying biology in the context of systems and control theory is a pretty well-trodden path (https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krebs_cycle). Much of modern pharmaceutical research is actually about uncovering the chemical governing loops (another technical term) and affecting them to achieve positive outcomes.

Cell division is an unstable positive loop that requires dampening with negative feedback loops at higher organization levels. When those negative feedback loops break down you get an unstable positive loop in the form of cancer.

So you see how having cell division in a multi-cellular context can not be "cured" of cancer? You'd need to stop cell division and somehow figure out a way around entropy. Cells divide to renew/reset and shed accumulated environmental damage. So no matter what you do as long as you have a system organized around unstable processes like this you will always have a control problem when the negative control mechanisms stop working.

Well, those meetings were useless, but as I said first he just wanted to trash talk about other people (he wasn't calling for attention to show me work, I used to sync up with him about work frequently), and those meetings even useless were much important than listening crap like .. "I couldn't connect all the day to the network, somebody banned my mac address" (that wasn't true of course, he just had issues on his environment but instead of think of that, he was paranoid about someone on the team hacking him or something)
I'd be cool with whitelisting a couple of URLs, such as netflix.com. Or google, hacker news, whatever. Who cares if comcast sells the fact that I use a service everyone uses?

I really just want things that I access in Private Browsing, or using a service other than http/https, not to be recorded.

I understand that people in various countries want to use the Netflix from another country. But I'm representing the 99%.

trying to get a ML pipeline optimized

I wrote some machine learning tools in Go and the experience is quite bad. The lack of operator overloading and parametric polymorphism make most ML code ugly. It also does not help that Go's compiler backend does not optimize very strongly and calling out to C comes with a relatively large overhead.

Sure, I could use something like Haskell, but then I'd have to worry about whether I'm accumulating a giant stack of thunks that'll blow up.

There are many languages between Go and Haskell that are productive and provide a sufficiently strong type system.
I usually start making a Stack Overflow post and if the subject is general enough I'll end up posting it.
I used to take a purist Android view like this. But AOSP 4+ with its mandatory lock-in to Google services and its "always watching you" policy is the definition of lock-in malware. Do you trust the incentive for Google (for whom you are no customer but a product) more than that for your phone manufacturer (with whom you have a regular customer relationship)?
I agree that things have gotten much too politicized along party lines. I'm rather bemused at how many people and organizations seem to be willing to switch sides on issues depending on which party or candidate is pushing which position. I don't think we're going to solve the problems we face by being completely for or against any party or politician.

Like I said in a cousin comment, I'd be concerned about what the future would be for aircraft if we did cancel this program. I'd hope to see a plan for what we're going to do for the aircraft we need to buy and replace over the next 30 years before they moved forward with cancelling it.
I would be wary of setting his agenda too much. You clearly want the best for him but is he truly on board with these plans? Pushing him too much could blow up and he may drop computer science altogether. Be proud that he's going into this field, and support his current interests, but anything more than that is likely to be a quick recipe for rebellion. Ideally we all do this work because we love it, and not because we were placed on this track. Try to connect with that and instill it, and you'll do great.

Of course, if he really
wants to do a boot camp then it could be a great experience for him. It is intense but rewarding. It's an environment for the truly motivated but if he isn't then he may burn out.
Well, some of the stuff that people do to make a point about discrimination and harassment is expressly done "with the intent to disturb people". I pulled my example from William Burroughs' Wild Boys. But some of the costumes in gay pride marches come pretty damn close. And hey, it's all good fun. But people need to play safe, avoiding needless risk.
I guess the main question about this product (which is the sort of thing I'd buy -- an hour of saved effort pays for it) is how can I trust you to be less evil than Comcast?

No, it wouldn't. You're the only one passing traffic through such a VPN, which means it's trivially reduced to unique bits of information that can identify you for anyone on the other end of your browser.

When many people share a VPN, your traffic is far more noisy and obfuscated .
IBM Watson, Adobe Sensei, Amazon AI make vague impressions by themselves, but they do power a bunch of practical services (most related to natural language understanding).

Reading about Adobe Sensei made me remember the recently published paper on Deep Photo Style Transfer, which was co-authored by people involved with Adobe Research, and especially one comment on it[0]. Perhaps they’re indeed moving in that direction and we’ll soon start seeing Sensei-branded elements in Photoshop and other products!

The F-35 is a great plane until it gets anywhere near its adversaries, then it gets destroyed by 3rd gen fighters.

Rewrite Lily in Rust
It was a long truck - a landscaping trailer hitched to its back.

I would guess that sharp enough movements would not have done something constructive, so if the vehicle was already coming right around a curve, or going fast enough, they could have let off a little to go "straight" or continued to go "right", but going left would have done nothing reasonable.

In the article, though, the driver phrases it as them being too close, and turning just meaning hitting one or the other, so perhaps they came out into the street and he was just going too fast.
Very funny! =)
That seems like that could get rather expensive in terms of bandwidth. From some napkin math I did using https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/, even 100GB of data would cost $9. That doesn't even include the cost of reserving the instance itself, just the bandwidth costs.
The drones they have can do that far more cheaply.
Likewise; that impressed me just as much as the details themselves did. An explanation that clear is a rare thing.

I actually appreciated the degree to which he glossed over certain things. For instance, he described a register as a temporary thing inside the processor, and then described the stack the same way. For the purposes of the explanation he gave, it doesn't matter that the stack actually lives in memory. And anyone who already knows about the stack will already know that.

Review: Satechi Slim Aluminum USB-C Hub with HDMI
I think the line here is simple. It's not that people are being disallowed from having certain views, we're really talking about whether or not we want to spend the time and energy discussing them.

And in the limit whether they should be made a matter of public policy.

Its still the case that if you want to open a whites only compound in Montana, no one is going to stop you or even care.

And I still think that if racists had something meaningful to say, that contributed in any way towards a considered discussion of real issues, that they would have more of a voice.

As leftist as the academy is, if you make an honest point with teeth behind it, there are enough real thinkers they will feel compelled to engage with you.

But you gotta step up to the plate man. You cant just blindly assert that brown people are robbing the pale people of their rightful place on the throne and expect everyone else to give your opinions equal consideration and time in the public forum.
As I've already pointed out to you, every biological system is a feedback loop in the sense you describe. Feedback loops are how you defecate, how you blink, how you move, and how you choose how much of what to consume. Feedback loops regulate the activity of your immune system and seal the holes in your skin when it's punctured. This doesn't distinguish cancer from anything else.
Right, but what part of the airplane figures out which things on the screen are friendly or hostile?

Hint: it's squishy, on average less than two meters tall, and riding in the cockpit.

Now granted, that can technically be done from outside the airplane, but if contact with the plane is lost for any reason, you lose that bit of wetware seated at the helm.
Yeah–almost as bad as these sailors who thought they could write a magazine! I have no idea how they can comment on the news happening mostly on land when they're out there in "The Atlantic".

I think this kind of article is downright irresponsible - when you weigh the small amounts of extra toxins you consume, the effects are always going to be lesser than the enormous benefits of consuming fish.

> Drs. Mozaffarian and Rimm put this in perspective in their analysis in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (1) First, reviewing data from the Environmental Protection Agency and elsewhere, they calculated that if 100,000 people ate farmed salmon twice a week for 70 years, the extra PCB intake could potentially cause 24 extra deaths from cancer—but would prevent at least 7,000 deaths from heart disease. (source: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/fish/)

I'm certain a similar argument can be applied to the dangers of mislabeled fish or micro-plastics. To put it in perspective: if the sort of argument this article presents convinced even 7% of people to not eat fish, it would counteract the 7000 potential heart disease deaths in the above example.
My point is simply that one who challenges a well-supported scientific theory has the burden of evidence. And calling for evidence, when there's already copious evidence available, distorts the facts. It's like anti-evolutionists saying "teach the controversy" when there's no controversy.
Except in the context of the FCC ruling, the purpose of the VPN is not to obfuscate your IP from the websites you go to.

The purpose is to hide the traffic from your internet provider.
Most ww2 era battleships had a plethora of smaller guns many of which were antiaircraft. The exception was the Japanese battleships which were relatively light on the smaller guns - which they even attempted to mitigate using shotgun like shells.
Well, yes, if you include the build tool in with your language implementation you do not need external build tools.

Compiling most Java projects is usually as simple as 'brew install maven; mvn package'. Maven does require a build file, but it can also do more than the go utility, such as deploying artifacts in a repository, build distributable tarballs, RPMs, debs, etc.

Maven, like go, largely relies on convention over configuration as well. If you generate a POM file from the standard archetype, you basically drop your files in the right source directory and it will build.

(I am not a fan of Java, but I think a lot of the criticism here is lazy. The first time you use the 'go' tool you have to learn its usage as well: how to separate library code from programs, what are the conventions for package structure, how to avoid API breakage for downstream users, etc.)
I grew up speaking italian, which has basic vowel sounds, but effectively no difference in length.

Learning to hear the difference between ship and sheep took me a long time, and it's the same for everyone I know.
Most of my friends who are not regularly exposed to english still fail to notice it or pronounce it.

The same for learning to hear the difference between "a" and "o" in hungarian.

Of course everybody can learn to hear, but it's definitely non-trivial. Your brain just isn't wired to look for the difference, even if clearly the sound is there.
Simpler solution is just to move to a saner country: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK (for now) etc. Places where ISPs don't operate as monopolies, and/or places where the government isn't completely for profit.
Even if you don't run tests, at a bare minimum you always need to build-test. master should always build. With a warm ccache, that shouldn't take excessively long, but long enough that you still want to do it server-side.

Assuming you've locally build-tested each commit, the bot only needs to build-test the combination. And some bots even pull in a set of merges at a time, and keep them if they all pass, only falling back to serial testing if they fail.
When I got my first Roland card to play XWing that was a revelation.
Not really (or at least, it depends on the situation). Space missions are often subject to all sorts of latency issues. Debugging a probe or rover that's multiple light-minutes away is no small feat, whereas debugging one that's a few light-seconds at most is much easier.

These jobs aren't a benefit of the program, they are its cost. Kill it and spend the money on more cost effective and dangerous weapons such as drones. Let the allies figure it out for themselves, if they didn't skimp so much on military spending they wouldn't be so dependent on us.

> English speakers don't even notice the difference between 'th' in theater and 'th' in the.

So I can say "the" with a "th" that sounds like "thanks", or "theater" that sounds like "the" and nobody will be able to tell the difference? Imagine me saying "that" as "thatch". No one would think I have a lisp? No one would say I'm not a native speaker? You know that's BS, unless you said can't perceive instead of can't hear.

I prefer movies, over this stretched story arc that is quite common with series. To meet the goal a few episodes of each season are just filler with little going on. I don't want to waste my time watching TV series. I would prefer movies, but not the boring super hero recycling movies of late but high quality good 1990s style action and comedy movies that rarely get produced.

One of the few series I completely watch is "Silicon Valley", though it also contains some fillers, but at least the series is satire and funny.
