For what it's worth, this is the exact reason i stopped using my surface pro 2(and tried and didn't buy a SP3/4).

I've had more than one surface, and quit using them every time because of how crappy they are to use on anything but a table. I've almost gone back a number of times for the reasons you mention, but know i would regret it at this point.

I find myself wishing the "book" and the "pro" were the same machine. Sometimes i just want a laptop, and sometimes the SP form factor is pretty awesome with how much thinner/lighter it is. It's never enough to get me back off of my MBP though.
Of course it was a riff on that. No need to spoil the joke by explaining it (twice, at that).
I stopped using Chrome bookmarks b/c they got too messy but now I use Bookmark OS which I really like. It kinda like Mac OSX but for bookmarks in the browser https://bookmarkos.com

What My Stroke Taught Me
Yes, extensively - have them arranged in the Firefox bookmark bar with along with folders to drop down for categories like "search", "news", "projects", etc. For everything that needs remembering in a more tertiary sense I bookmark without folders but use tags. FF's system, similar to Chrome's, that can synchronize across to other computers and phones while keeping encrypted stuff in the cloud makes bookmarks a lot less volatile in nature than they used to be.
Quite bizarre! Yet cool.

In the interviews I've had so far the 'how much are you making' question comes up at the beginning of the process almost everywhere. It's an obvious lowball play, anywhere that is super aggressive about asking for this is a giant red flag to me.
Hehe. You've got my vote. Oh wait.
I have been experimenting along these lines. Not so much aiming towards what is optimised but rather what is potentially optimisable.

for instance

function callerOfAll(fns) {
if (fns.length===0) return ()=>{};
if (fns.length === 1) return fns[0];
var first = fns.shift();
var rest = callerOfAll(fns);
return ()=>{first();rest();}
}

This should take a list of functions and return a function that calls them all. An optimiser should be able to inline the function call if it notices each rest() is only ever called once. Ultimately it could turn

[a,b,c,d,e] into ()=>(a();b();c();d();e());

or even further if those functions themselves are small enough to be inlinable.

Looking at V8 IR, it doesn't seem to get there.

I have wondered about making a benchmark suite out of such tricky but logically optimisable structures to give Javascript engines something to aim for.
Another way to get rich in UO was waiting for a rune shop to decay. The economy was amazing and unforgiving like that.
Years (and years) ago, there was PowerMarks by Kaylon. It was great. Cross-browser, pretty good automated, over-rideable indexing -- space-separated words/symbols, very quick to maintain, with fuzzy matching. Rapid, "instantaneous", incremental search against thousands of bookmarks.

It's gone, now, and I've never seen its equivalent.

These days, I use an extension that saves a local copy of the page. As others have mentioned: Linkrot.

But it's not nearly as quick or convenient to return to a page as it was in PowerMarks. Although, the extension I use does have search -- manually triggered, and thereupon taking some time to initially build the index.

But I end up saving more "read later" stuff in it, as opposed to just reference links. So it ends up being a bit noisier, and size means I end up with multiple stores having multiple indexes.
I'd like to see that filmed under a really dark sky. There was a lot of skyglow in there that interfered with the capture. But even so, I thought I recognized Orion, with the Great Nebula clearly visible at 0:30 (the linear series of smudges of light below the 3 bright stars sitting in a straight diagonal line)

You can see that nebula with the naked eye, but you need a pretty dark sky. I'm pretty sure it was not naked-eye-visible under that sky. Awesome camera.
How much of that is a result of being forced to change due to outside pressure? The fact that they did it well is secondary. I took a course at Yale where they taught the Western canon of literature as Satanic text, where Western culture was presented as justified rebellion. What is the Eastern equivalent?
Yes.

I make sure I use a descriptive sentence when I save them.

They're useful to me because the people creating the pages don't know about SEO and Google fucking sucks at giving me the pages I need unless I use weird contorted search phrases or remember the exact name of the document.

I have 12 icons in my bookmark toolbar that I use daily. I have a few that I don't use very often.
It all depends on your circumstances. If you are single then London will work well for you, and if you like travel you have all other countries at hand - Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland.. Very diverse and very colourful. And it feels like London is a startups heart of Europe (at least this is what I feel compared to Geneva, Munich or Berlin). Some people will argue in light of Brexit but I personally think this will work for better to both Europe and Great Britain. A step back towards what EU used to be (in a good way).

To rent a whole flat for yourself will cost you 1k+ PCM (that's flat, you need to remember about council tax and TV tax and utilities, so probably closer to 1150+ PCM), you will be better to go for a room (did I mention it all depends if you are single? and you meet new people too)

Taxes here depend on your formal situation with the company. If you go PAYE then you'll probably see about ~30k of what you earn. Go and look at pay calculators. But once you get your permanent stay your option might look better. Also you mentioned 40k is a starting point, so you'll end up on better wage once your probation/review is done. Maybe your employer would go for paying your flat and travel expenses which would work better than doing this for yourself.

I would try to evaluate which option (Canada or UK) look better from your pocket perspective and then would look into tech and future perspective. Python seems to be quite on top at the moment, though C++ is not too bad neither :-) so not simple choices here!

Just spotted you edited your question.

Q- Would it be irresponsible to give up the PR in Canada and move away?

A- I don't know :-) What's the PR in Canada?

Q- Would I later regret not moving to London in my early twenties?

A- older you get more difficult it becomes.

Q- What's more important: work or people?

A- growth. And that might mean either work, or people, or both, or neither - depending what's your end goal.

Q- How important is compensation for the first job out of college?

A- you would not (probably) consider moving if you was not offered a job, would you? Compensation is important but at some point you get to the glass ceiling and you need to think about other options. You need to value yourself, does not matter what point in your life you are at.

Think what you want to be doing in 1/3/5 years from now. That might give you the right perspective.

Oh and commute - it is not unusual to see people commuting 60+ minutes (one way). You need to target the area near your office or near the fast tube (some are faster than the other). I live in suburbs and it takes me only 30 minutes to commute :-) it used to take 70 minutes when I was in zone 3 (but I was on slow line).

Also as far as I'm aware it's about 5 years before you get permanent residency in UK. So this would be long term plans and you might decide to go back once you are fed up of being here :-)
Python was not popular because of maths. Python was very popular long before the scientific computing stuff. Python was chosen for that for two reasons: ease of extension using C, and being extremely easy to read and write.

There's a reason that Python is commonly referred to as 'executable pseudocode'.

But yes, Ruby had Rails, JS had web browsers, Perl made string handling easy, Java was appealing to managers (don't let your moron employees write undefined behaviour: CHOOSE JAVA!), etc.
"... man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much — the wheel, New York, wars and so on — whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man — for precisely the same reasons."
So maybe Peltier on the sensor, heat sink attached to body, body hermetically sealed. Sensors probably tested for best noise quality (probably a really low yield on that).

It's an explicit recognition that the statement is one of personal opinion. Without the marker, it could be understood differently.

I'd probably not use the IMO or IMHO shorthand in a business setting, but I definitely will qualify a statement of personal opinion in a context where it might be misconstrued.
> The Justice Department, which defends federal agencies in court, declined to comment. The Homeland Security Department, which issued the summons, had no immediate comment.

I hate that these kind of cases almost always end up getting the silent treatment. I'm not an American, but I think governmental institutions and agencies should be bound by law to provide an answer to the public for some of their actions, and I think this is such a case. It is important that people get to know why the government wanted this information and who is responsible for issuing the order in the first place, but I guess that's never gonna happen when politicians and officials doesn't want to answer for their actions like the rest of the people has to do.

Hmm - I would recommend our gitter channel: https://gitter.im/deeplearning4j/deeplearning4j

I'm not sure what "install issues" you'd have. Maven is all you need to know.

We're not any different than any other java library out there. There's nothing to "install". It's a library you use via maven/gradle/sbt just like anything else. Rather than commenting on hacker news about this (where most of my devs won't see it) file an issue and say what you had trouble with.

Considering the baseline in deep learning is usually "Install from source here's your c compiler" it's not going to be nearly as bad.

IANAL, but this sounds incomplete. Declaratory judgements are a thing. Presumably that doesn't apply in this case for various reasons.
Gosh I like this! Eliminates the artificiality. Eliminates the competition and the anxiety. Replaces all that with something natural.

Why is this approach so rare? What's the downside?
This case reminds of what Turkey has become under Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Knowing how these things go, this guys never stop. They failed this time. Next time, they'll try harder until insulting the president becomes a criminal offence. It won't happens all at once, but we're heading in that direction.

By the way, The Turkish govt will come after you, no matter what country you live in, if you dare insult their leader.
If constexpr is not inspired by static if. In fact, proposals of static if and things like it were explicitly rejected by the committee.

Good point, though.
In Ultima 6, there's a gypsy that the Avatar can pay to sleep with. There's also a sleeping potion that will put the Avatar to sleep and pass the player's control to another member of the party - such as Sherry the Mouse. Well, Doug The Eagle discovered you can combine these two facts in the exact manner you're now imagining: http://www.it-he.org/u6_main.php#13

He also discovered a great amount of weird, interesting, and downright perverse stuff you can do in the Ultima series, and a lot of other RPGs. I highly recommend checking out his whole site: http://www.it-he.org/front.php

They're using your aggregate data to reward companies that you like and punish companies you dislike. It will make companies react to peoples preferences faster and provide a better product.

Coffeescript is essentially dead, many production web sites were written in it.

I just keep links in easily searchable text files. When I need something I can just search for it. Emacs orgmode allows for nice links, you can open the page straight from the text file.

Foursquare has been pretty much unused in The Netherlands, as it is a small but important market as they are rich to the max. If your service doesn't succeed or sell in The Netherlands, it's usually indicative to your service at large.

I have a home.html file that is my browser default page. It has all the links I use regularly, organized in a few columns that I think make sense, but more honestly I use it mainly by muscle memory. It also has input fields for a couple of different search engines.

It's very simple, no javascript and just a tiny bit of CSS.

Any time I want to update it, add a link, etc. I just use a text editor.

No. Why should the negotiation have anything to do with the prospective employee's current salary?

Not to mention, you're saying that prospective employees shouldn't answer the question anyway. However, that only protects those who feel they're in a strong bargaining position. It does absolutely nothing to help those who aren't, and those are generally the ones that need the most help.
Why should you be at an advantage? Why should the negotiations have anything to do with your current salary?
My gut tells me this is more than coincidence. This and Apple's newfound dedication and commitment to 'pro' users has me excited (for the time being) about Apple's future
I don't think there was ever a 'solid attempt' in Japanese to do a strictly phonetic system. The language has such a high degree of homophony that assigning chinese characters in the written system does allow some level of useful disambiguation.

It gets really complicated with japanese - there's a many-to-many-to-many <symbolic>-<phonetic>-<semantic> relationship... One character can have many different readings and due to the homophony, any given reading can have divergent meanings. For example - HASHI can mean bridge, "side of something", or chopsticks - and the character for "bridge" can also be read "kyo" depending on the context.

I imagine chinese is much easier for a japanese native speaker to learn than vice versa for those reasons (since often some of the phonetic forms "on-yomi" of the characters are directly borrowed - with some inflective changes).
Or, I consider time with my family worth more than the context switch I'd have.

I probably have 500 bookmarks. I never click on them though.

Instead I (ab)use bookmarks as a way to increase the weight of URLs in chrome's navigation bar autocomplete/suggestion algorithm.

e.g. If you find that you're going to a site's homepage and clicking three times, instead once you get to the actual page you want, bookmark it. You can even give it a more memorable name, like "standup hangout" and then watch it autocomplete from the address bar next time you start to type the URL.
It's like context is an actual thing.
Ok, I'm probably more engaged in discussing and promoting Shenzhen with Westerners in English than any other Shenzhen resident. I'm a Hackaday contributor, tweet and vblog about it with more followers than any other local, all that. I'm also the most prolific Maker as Westerners tend to define "Maker" in Shenzhen, maybe China. No, I'm not bragging, check around.

>Shenzhen has only a handful of lacklustre institutions of higher learning

Shenzhen University- while not Tsinghua, it well regarded and it's graduates are quickly hired by local tech companies.

>Shenzhen spends over 4% of its GDP on research and development (R&D), double the mainland average; in Nanshan the share is over 6%.

This is true "on the ground" and it shows- I live in Nanshan High Tech Park right in the center of this. The amount of money local government and local companies are putting into innovation is staggering.

>Most of the money comes from private firms. Companies in Shenzhen file more international patents

Lots of these are questionable. There are financial incentives for the number of patents filed. Goodhart's law applies in China like no place else. Likewise- you can get grants and tax breaks opening a Makerspace, so we have over 600. In reality nearly all of these are empty offices.

>He insists this could not have been done even in Silicon Valley, because California cannot match Shenzhen’s ecosystem of “makers”.

Shenzhen has no Makers, and no Maker culture. We have one, maybe two Makerspaces in the Western tradition and their focus is almost entirely on kids classes. There are huge obstacles to actually building an authentic Maker Culture in China which we have been unable to overcome. As a result- the same factory bosses and businessmen we've always had, are now called "Makers". People who actually do technical things- let along things with their own hands are still called engineers and still very much looked down on.

We have large, fantastically equipped Makerspaces- these are about as real as a North Korean fruit stand. They are part of the local cargo cult mentality and purely for face. It is common here to have a huge, privately catered "Maker Meetup" of hundreds of people- and not a single person in the room will have ever fabricated anything with their own two hands. They are also quite proud of this.

Yes- some tremendous innovation occurring here and it's a fantastic place for hardware. No- very little authentic Maker culture and very little interest in actually fostering it.

Aside: Interesting that the Malayam and Bengali versions of the article censor the girl's face from the header photo, and exclude the mid-article photo (the Hindi and English versions have both pictures fully intact). I could see that for the Malayam version, but I didn't totally expect it for the Bengali version.
In my Bookmarks bar I have 'General', which breaks down into about fifteen categories. Each of those is broken down into several folders --- its very organized. I go through it once a year or so to clear out links I'm certain I won't need in the future (usually project ideas).

I use Bookmark Box to sync with other browsers by way of Dropbox. Its not perfect, but it works.

For the rest of the Bookmarks bar I have my most common links -- a few spreadsheets (in Drive), some web apps, and a folder for forums I frequent. I also have a bookmarket for Pepperplate, which I use on a regular basis.

There are two ways to go with that question.

Option one: What will most dramatically improve your life economically? That will almost certainly be some tool that you can use to create a side income stream. (In the third world, it's often a sewing machine.)

Option two: What will most dramatically improve your quality of life? That depends. What inconvenience most annoys you? Could you solve it by buying something that costs less than $50?
My experience with this was in London, a twitter.com recruiter contacted me a couple of years ago. At the time I was searching for a job so I replied that I was interested. We had the usual HR/Recruiter call. It ended with them asking how muh my previous employer was paying me. I said that was confidential and would not share. Their reply was "this information is mandatory and we cannot continue the process if you will not provide it." I said I wouldn't and it ended there... two months later their recruiter contacted me again saying it was ok for me not to share and provide expectations instead.
The way Dropbox is talked about here, in hushed tones, you'd think it was some life-altering panacea.
How did the recruiters find out?
This is a good move. Modernization with sensible deprecation and scope re-evaluation with downsizing when more powerful alternatives exist. Too often codebases get bigger when they should really get smaller.
Exactly this, but it should be made clear that this has nothing to do with the general safety of rural roads. In general there are dangers encountered when driving (especially at night) on rural roads which aren't encountered in urban environments, although the converse is also true.

People always compare the US to Western Europe when this topic comes up, but that's simply an invalid comparison. For this topic, the US should be compared to Russia or possibly Canada. These countries have rural areas which are neither completely deserted (where drunk driving would be irrelevant even if it were likely to happen) nor support a large enough population to have reasonable transportation alternatives.

I wish the US would recognize this fact and have two sets of drunk driving laws - one for urban areas (matching Western European conventions) and one for rural (matching current conventions). Unfortunately, this is probably impossible since it could be seen as permitting drunk driving.
Sure, someone will argue that the outhouse makers are out of business. Or the well makers.
