I've gotten reviews where it was obvious the reviewer didn't read the paper. "You didn't address X at all" when I had a section heading under Discussion labeled X in big bold font.

The review process is stochastic and leans towards reject by default.
And as far as I can see you'd still have to have AMT enabled in your BIOS.

Great article and applicable to way more than just infovis.

> In denying the student the ability to frame their main task as exploration, they are forced to concede that what they want to find is not what their end-user may be looking for and then: (a) engage with their client or “create” a reasonable one with real tasks and decisions, (b) understand the data and tasks much more deeply, and (c) identify good validation strategies (no more insights!).

> Maybe this is obvious, but when I started teaching I thought that being more open-ended about what I allowed was better. That somehow it would lead to more diverse, cool, weird, and novel projects. In some ways that’s true, but as I’ve argued elsewhere, teaching infovis is itself a wicked design problem.

Its not just infovis, I think this is a good teaching idea in a very broad sense. Reading other people's writing nowadays, people are apt to be very lazy with their language and this by consequence makes them lazy with their ideas. Infovis should ban "exploration." Architecture should ban "modern." Career centers doing resume reviews should definitely ban "utilize." I'm sure every field has such tropes that are maybe useful in the real world sometimes, but make for quite lazy school projects.

In fact I think he may be going a little overkill in justifying his ban on "exploration". He doesn't need to talk about weighing the pro/con here, if before he had a paucity and now he has a multiplicity of interesting student results, he's won and they've won. "Surprise" be damned. The kids can buy lotto tickets if they want to be surprised by big data.

For being so simple, restricting the common and obvious in classrooms is probably an underrated technique. This is widely done in photography classes, disallowing students from doing certain things, like making them only use film for a while, so they really have to frame photos and can't just snap 1000 and "discover" one good one, or restrict to annoyingly wide prime lenses on an assignment to take some good portraits, etc. These constraints, even though they are constraints, greatly reduce the samey-ness of results and make the students engage their brains.
I'd like that for the whole ME.
Actually at google's scale I'd expect them to also be looking heavily at Power/Performance which AMD seems to have an edge on in the consumer Ryzen's. That alone might be worth it for them to start buying.
> release i7 notebook CPUs with more then two cores

U-series i7s have two cores. HQ-series i7s have four cores. Both are mobile CPUs. Remember though that more cores generally means more power consumption which generally means less wallclock time on battery power.
Legal precedents tend not to explicitly single out one gender, race or religion.
Interesting to read that Bernstein was a member of the Communist Party. As someone who's studied music and been a fan of Bernstein for years, I've not once heard this, despite having read quite a bit about his music.

His politics has been whitewashed so hard it's not funny, and it's never mentioned when his music is discussed.

Note that gender is not, in Constitutional case law, in the same tier of protected classes as race and religion (the last two are subject to strict scrutiny, the first to intermediate scrutiny.)

Even where the same justification applies, a distinction that survives intermediate scrutiny may not survive strict scrutiny.
Nope, just you and i_mormon_stuff. I still think it's him, but lets see if he ever responds.
You should take a look at Mastodon [0].

I've found the connecting apolitical issue between conservatives and liberals is that nobody seems to think it's ok for those in positions of privilege and power to exploit those who are less fortunate.

Instead of trying to come to agreement on the solution to this dilemma (which is where the major rift is) I instead focus on agreeing on the perpetrators and the offences - which is an easier thing to come to a consensus on.

The next agreement is that what is most favorable for the exploitative party is that nothing changes and they get to continue doing whatever they have been.

I think that's what needs to happen. The abusers need to be constrained by a fear of a conservative or liberal or other style response to abuse ... any of them rising and being effective. Right now they can bank on everyone arguing over it and continue doing whatever they want.
The major trouble with patents, and the thing that puts them in a special category of nuisance all of their own, is that it's fundamentally impossible to know that a thing is unencumbered until each particular claim to the contrary has been hashed out in court, at ruinous expense. And there is no legal proscription against patent owners letting you think you were safe for years, and then popping up to cream off the fruits of your work. We know MP3 was encumbered. We don't, and can't, know that MP3, Vorbis, and so forth aren't encumbered now. All we can know is that nobody has popped up to hold the industry to ransom... yet.
y4 is one more thing to worry about. to lose. to have stolen. to drop in the toilet. etc.

i think part of the "theatre" is the whole convenience for safety thing. a few years ago it was gospel to change your passwords all the time. then some data started to point to this actually might be bad because it forced users into to using easy to remember things like sequences, or write them down (often in something like notes app or under keyboard on a sticky).

while this may not be the good for military gov etc, it's probably a lot better for average joes. by making it easier to have pretty good security method, i can reasonably expect my users to stop doing stupid shit like keeping their keys on google drive (because "wernt you the guy who made us use drive because it's more secure than ftp?!"- yes many users are petty like that).
Would the search engine use crawlers to auto-update and grow or would it simply search your curated maps (which you or your collaborators would have to maintain and grow for as long as the project runs)?
There's a world of difference between the two.
Yeah, after reading through Libre Boot's FAQ [1], I don't think I'll ever buy AMD again, unless they make some serious improvements in this area. How they justify shipping closed source software that can't be disabled, has full access to my system, and can be remotely controlled is beyond me; but I'm not okay with it.

Not only that, but they're forgetting time.

A brain 2x the size does not mean it must learn twice as much, or can understand 2x more complicated things. But may just mean it can learn twice as fast.

How many bridge collapses are caused by floods versus other kinds of failure?

In the Northwest, we're pretty worried about the next big earthquake, whenever it happens. I also assume that bridges sometimes just fall down on their own due to corrosion, metal fatigue, low quality materials, improper construction, or uneven thermal expansion of various materials.
Not everything needs a key backup. If you create a backup key, you can create it on another device (ideally the one it's going to be used from) and don't have to move it off the phone in a way where it could be exposed (As much as one would think people using stuff like this should know better, I wouldn't be surprised if at least some got the backup off their phone by e-mailing it to themselves or something along those lines)

Is there any chance this could be exploitable from within a guest virtual machine, or does Intel's architecture only allow a hypervisor to communicate with the firmware?
That was what prompted me to post, I didn't think anything used it so I had disabled it on my consumer PC. Only to find later that at least in some situations it seems to be used on "consumer PCs". If I had documentation from Intel on all of its capabilities and uses I might feel better about it. :-) (or not)

One good reason to refuse Jigsaw: it's far far too complex.

I watched a whole hour and a half presentation on it, and the time was well necessary to explain the way things work and outline a migration path for existing code.

The worst thing about it: I can't remember much about how it was supposed to work. I just remember that it was highly unintuitive, requiring both explicit imports and exports in specific files for each module.

The fact that it is so tightly coupled to JDK refactoring also gives me pause. Seems like a design overfit. Both concerns should be handled separately.

Sure a module system can help to separate out the JDK libraries, and that's certainly a nice way to check you've achieved your objectives with the design. But when this refactoring itself is one of the major justification for the design, something is wrong.
Agreed. It was definitely a failure in execution not necessarily in vision. If done right it kinda sounds like a dope experience.
German probably has one.

I know! I have a thinkpad with a 3rd gen core i5 and it has AMT. Once this exploit gets out in the wild it would be only a matter of time before it expands to other Intel CPUs with AMT.
I experience this but only in one ear. It doesn't seem to make a difference if I'm sitting at my desk or working out, though I can walk everywhere with them. Anytime I lean to the left side, I get really conscious of the left AirPod falling out, which happens once or twice a day.

Because they have one of the most competent security teams in the world and enough money to mount legal defenses against governmental adversaries.

For many many threat models this pairing is a more competent defense than just about any thing a single person could come up with.
How do you deal with changing specs? That's what scares me about fixed prices. Both of my longest freelance jobs (1+ years) were supposed to be a couple months worth of work.

I think the right way is to write the specs down clearly in the initial contract, but since most projects seem to go way past their expiration date, it would entail spending a non-trivial amount of time of continuously updating and agreeing on the new contracts.

Anyway, I often have a couple active project at a time, but no more than that because it would make scheduling my time a nightmare. And context switching halfway through the day takes a considerable amount of mental energy.
Not specifically apropos of the buyout, but my experience with Angie's List has been similar to that of Yelp, that is, businesses that paid to advertise on AL were better able to maintain high rankings. The top-rated companies were not the best from either a quality or price perspective. While it's a great idea to crowd-source referrals for contractors like that, it's unfortunate that that model falls prey to the same impulse to increase revenue by soliciting advertising contracts with the firms that it purports to rank impartially.
They certainly did not keep up. Their equipment has been behind as far as I can tell when I worked for them starting back in the G3 days, and that's including after the intel switch.
After years in Portugal I still can't differentiate where anyone is from within the country, but put me a Brazilian event and I can tell you where each person is from in Brazil (where I also lived) by accent and word-choice alone. I'm impressed by my lack of ability when it comes to Portugal. Perhaps it's more nuanced.

However, the language gradient you speak of is one of the reasons I love Iberia. If only modern English, as you note, would be so interesting.

By the way, the region the author speaks of is beautiful, in case anyone plans to take a lazy drive through it. If yes, don't forget Andorra.

You can start up the VM in 80ms for sure, you'll just need much more time after that to load all the damn classes from the bloated libraries you're gonna use. (Especially terrible with functional runtimes like Clojure's.)

> pre-allocation of the heap for the JVM

Pre-allocation doesn't matter, it's not allocating physical memory??
The GHC Haskell runtime literally mallocs one terabyte when the program starts :D

However OpenJDK/HotSpot's baseline memory usage is indeed higher than many other VMs'.
Even if you compare with alternative JVMs: I tested a basic Jetty app — it used ~60 MB on JamVM, ~70 MB on OpenJDK.
node.js Distributed Tracing Engineer | SolarWinds | Onsite: Vancouver, SF, Boston

TraceView is a monitoring platform providing our customers (other software engineers) with deep understanding of how their applications are performing. In order to provide that insight, we have to collect the data, which is where our instrumentation agent team comes into play.

The agents that feed TraceView’s analytics run inside customer application processes, automatically instrumenting them to gather distributed tracing data and other performance analytics, while having minimal or no performance impact so they’re safe to run in high-traffic production environments.

We’re looking for someone who’s immersed in the Node.js ecosystem--with bonus points for fluency in Ruby, Python, or Go, and really wow us if you have a systems generalist bent. You’ll be combining an eye for performance with digging into the intricacies of V8 and native extensions. If you have a passion for constantly learning new libraries and deciphering how they work, and enjoy working deep under the covers of the runtime, then we’d like you to join our talented and growing development team.

You may wish to add "REMOTE" to your headline, following the format of the other posts.

Remote C++ jobs are very desirable, so it's a shame to bury that detail.

Also, from your job posting and your website, there's not a lot of information to help us understand what kind of business you're in, what your funding situation is, etc.

If you can give a clearer picture, you might hear from more potential candidates.

For those interested, here's a "How I Built This" podcast for Angie's list that I found interesting.

https://www.angieslist.com/articles/angie-hicks-npr-s-how-i-...
Each input of the transaction requires a signature, which makes the transaction larger and therefore increases the required fee. Here is a random example from a recent block of such a transaction with many inputs, it pays about $52 in fees:

https://blockchain.info/tx/ef29f862f3ceee10ed3e1f04585e18cc2...

So it is more accurate to think of the cost as a fee per byte instead of a fee per transaction. And there's a minimum amount of bytes that's needed to consume any hitherto unspent transaction output.

Interestingly, if bitcoins were to support Schnorr signatures, then the signatures could be combined and then your idea would work. Though this would not be able to salvage the existing unspent transaction outputs that are already secured with ECDSA signatures.
Thank you for the educational write up! Bitcoin literacy is sorely lacking among journalists, and yet they often forget to contact experts such as yourself...
The covers are a cool idea, and I think I'll end up getting the ones that look like Bose tips.

That said, the friction that they add by being too bulky to fit in the case makes any of these half-baked at best. The case is such a core part of what differentiates AirPods. Having to keep track of and put on / take off covers all the time sort of kills the magic.

IMO it's really a problem Apple should solve, or at least accommodate as opposed to leaving up to a hacky third party solution.
As do I. MacPorts has fit my mental model in a way that Homebrew never did.

Not only that, but you can then realise that functions are manipulable objects too, and have operations of their own--eta abstraction, reduction, composition, etc., and can be used to build all of modern mathematics pretty much from scratch.
