Well, metaphors are like perspectives. The steam engine perspective has many useful aspects to it, even today. But it has more limits than the computer metaphor.

But if you want to use the metaphors to capture the core of what the brain does, then no, I don't think either are much good.

I would put much more emphasis on learning and surprise. Not the big kind of learning, like a new language. But learning what to expect in situational patterns. Making predictions of what might happen, and surprise when what really happened did not fit anything.

But that does not have a good metaphor from ordinary life.
Tom Waits sued for this reason multiple times [1].

I guess he had a strong case because in all three cases he was (or so he claimed) approached to do a commercial and the advertisers went with a Waits-like surrogate after he declined.

Murder is a (mostly) provable thing though, you can't prove someone smokes weed because their lighter is a little charred.

I'm also pretty sure it's not even the act of smoking weed that's illegal, it's the possession (at least that's the case in the UK) - you can't nab someone for possession because they possessed at some point in the past, because that is - by definition - no longer possession.
Let me share my story how volunteering has changed my life!

I was studying BE(Four Year Study) at a college in India before 2 years. I was not impressed by studies and I am a lazy guy too. I just want to do something which makes me happy.

(During my third year of study) I started going to hostel library to read newspapers (only to read current news, cinema, politics etc.., especially not something useful). I started liking reading as it gave me a good feeling and something which feels good inside.

I started observing that there is the only librarian who manages the entire library and he makes more than an hour every day after the working hours to arrange the newspapers in shelves and the books.

Something struck me to help the librarian after the working hours. I just started helping by arranging the newspapers and magazines regularly.

The librarian started becoming my friend and I was able to get new friends and every evening we started to make debating on current issues and a lof of stuff like that.

I started feeling happier and some responsibility in myself.I started reading books and magazines. I was feeling I was growing by inside.

Finally, the day came for applying for the post of "Library Secretary". Librarian asked me to apply for that but I had hesitated. But I applied.

I was interviewed by the college principal committee and got selected as a "Library Secretary"

Things to note from my story

1.You should not be in a profit oriented mindset. That is against volunteering I feel strongly.
2.Volunteering will increase the responsibility and provide a nice platform to learn the environment especially people.
3.It will groom you without you noticing it
4.You will make a network which may or may not be useful.
5.Finally you end up something good
Sure they do. People are ditching landlines to save money even though making do with just a cell phone often gives significantly worse quality. (Which was actually the context of the discussion I mentioned. I was debating giving up my landline--well, Xfinity Voice--even though just using my cell service would result in poorer average call quality.)
If you have completely sanitized data what is the problem with object serialization? Thank you.
For many years my advice to other java devs has been to avoid using java.util.Date and Oracle date columns where possible - for all the reasons given in the article, but generally because they don't always do what you expect.

The reason is that these dates encapsulates one concept of date (a point in time), and devs often try to use it for another (the legal date).

A legal date is fixed. It also has no time zone, but in a different way - it will not look different when viewed from another timezone. I was born on the opposite side of the world to where I live. The DOB on my passport didn't change, as I moved around the world.

Too often the user inputs a legal date. Software translates this to a point in time so it can be stored in one of these dates, the TZ info is lost, and before you know it the software is displaying a date other than that input. A bug is filed, a dev investigates and hacks code to add one hour, the bug is closed, and another opened when we pass into daylight saving.

It doesn't have to be like this - even MS Excel knows to just use a day count.

No Snowden document has ever been reported as fake, and much to the contrary, the Snowden reporting actually won the Pulitzer prize. The entire reason it's famous is because the documents were verifiably authentic.

There have been a lot of allegations against Snowden by his critics, but even the Congressional intelligence committees didn't make the claim that he is a Russian agent. In fact the former NSA guy who was in charge of the Snowden investigation said on camera there's no evidence of that, and that if Snowden were a spy, they would know by now.

Look at the sources for the Rotherham Wikipedia article. How are you going to honestly say that the media is omitting the story? It's more likely that you didn't see it in your own filter bubble[0] and I'd also guess you're from the USA, which obviously has more incentive to front-page domestic news (but I highly doubt you'd find omission of it on any major news site).

Well, we've been a bit farther away than a single pixel :) The moon is also visible in the photo (and appears to be closer to Earth than it actually is because the Moon-Earth-Saturn angle was not 90 degrees when Cassini took this picture).
It's a bit trippy to look at that picture, and realize that literally everything I know exists in that one little spec. It's cosmically humbling.

I too find Rust a bit off-putting on the syntactical level, though architecturally what little Rust I've looked at does appeal to me, as I'm in the functional programming camp from which Rust draws inspiration. I'll hopefully get to do some real work with it soon, which will give me a better feel for it.

Agreed that the power of Rust's borrow checker remains to been shown on a large scale. I'm optimistic it will be, but time will tell.

Ah, Hacker News comments, you are so predictable.

Naturally, this article inspires multiple comments declaring that the way the kernel allocates or arranges memory is so obviously stupid and wrong, and that they know the right way of doing it.

As you say, GCC switched to C++ just a few years ago, when the STL had already existed for decades. I don't understand how you conclude that they couldn't have just used the STL when they did the switch to C++. Implementing their own containers was more work without any gain in portability.

> The author seems to think they own it

Yes, fundamentally this appears to be the issue, and I agree entirely that the concept of ownership is something you can get, albeit a not great version of it, in a standard way. C++'s unique and shared pointers, as an example, make ownership concepts much clearer. Why is the Linux kernel using raw pointers? Even just having a unique pointer would provide tons of help.

This is not an uncommon issue. The Linux kernel is plagued with use after free vulnerabilities and invalid dereferences etc. But there's very little upstream movement to solve these problems.

I have a Nexus 6P, and, with Doze and all the new stuff, your battery shouldn't be dropping more than ~2% overnight (since you aren't using the phone). If it does, it means some app is waking the phone up constantly.

It's a good time to step back and define (or re-evaluate the definition of) "DevOps." It's an interesting word for an interesting movement, but (I think sadly) it has come to mean just "Ops."

"DevOps" is a teamwork style and process pattern, wherein the same people engineering the logic of a system also support each other in taking ownership over the execution of the logic and maintenance of the system.

DevOps means that, instead of sending an impatient email to the "DB admin" to apply your migrations, that you invite her to become familiar with the reason the migration was needed in the first place. In turn, she extends her toolchain to empower you to apply the migration yourself. Soon, you are part of the same team and the line dividing you, stopping you from supporting each other, is gone.

DevOps is good for people who like to always be learning; it can be difficult for people who like to ever more deeply specialize.

One thing that seems clear to me: the rise of packaged and automated ops solutions is not a threat to DevOps; on the contrary, it makes it even easier for a "Dev" team to collaborate on and take ownership of the "Ops" of an organization.

MOTO Z PLAY

Battery life was the main selling point to me when I bought it half a year ago. With light usage it lasts 6 days (few hours screen time, few minutes of talk). Typically I charge it after 4 days when ~30% energy left. Recharges in an hour. Vanilla Android 7 after recent upgrade from the factory, no bloatware. One could even by an extra akku pack (as a moto mod) that integrates nicely to the back, but I didn't feel the need so far.

If you want to use Android, pick a brand that at least lets you freeze the bloatware. I use a Sony Z5C at the moment and I'm tolerably happy. I keep WLAN/GPS/Bluetooth on and charge it when I need to. I charged it yesterday sometime during the day and it was at 77% this morning.

The reason probably is that tensors (in math/physics) can be represented as multi-indexed quantities, which are naturally expressed as multi-dimensional arrays in computers. 0-rank tensors are scalars, 1-rank tensors are vectors, 2-rank tensors can be represented as matrices (but strictly speaking are not matrices), and there are no specific names for higher-rank tensors.
The Sony Xperia line, especially the Compact models, is known for good battery life. My wife and I routinely get 48 hours on a charge on the Z3 Compact and X Compact models and that's without disabling any features such as Bluetooth or GPS, etc.

As for the bloatware, that could be the fault of your carrier rather than Samsung. Android has a "Disable" option in the App Info dialogue that allowed me to disable almost all the pre-installed apps on my phone. Those apps are effectively removed in that they're not running or available in the app drawer. They still exist on disk, but that's a relatively minor burden.

'Resonate'. That's a nice way of putting some stories are more reported than others.

> The Rotherham scandal was to all current knowledge a singular event of local non-US scope, with no bigger topic to resonate against other than xenophobia.

I didn't limit Google trends to the US, so I don't see why non-US scope is relevant. But are you're saying that the Rotherham scandal was reported on less because it resonates with xenophobia? That journalists suppress stories if they promote the wrong ideology?

Also, 'singular event'? Forgetting for the moment that it was at least 1400 events over a period of 16 years, did you bother to scroll to the bottom of the Rotherham scandal wikipedia page, and click on the link that leads to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sexual_abuses_perpetra... ?
North Korea on a Bun: The Legendary Koryo Burger
Last week on BBC Radio 4 I heard of a woman who was losing her voice through disease (MND maybe?), a similar system was being anticipated and she was saving voice samples to seed it with.

She had been a singer and strongly identified her self with her voice, she wanted to be able to use a speech synthesis system that had her own voice pattern.

Apologies if this was already mentioned, but it seems to be a use others here hadn't considered.

I think it's poor methodology combined with a "dangerous" language: lack of unit-testing/TDD, low-level verbosity, lack of formal behavior prooofs, kitchen-sink features lumped into the kernel, constantly reinventing the wheel and lack of minimal package code re-use.

Don't get me wrong, I learned all the sharp edges by trial-and-error in the C89 days with Pascal and embedded assembly, but I think we've got to have systems languages which provide higher-level abstraction for bare-metal kernels. It's just that even codebases like OpenBSD don't go far enough like seL4 to verify their security model beyond reasonable doubt with formal methods.
