One simple reason why I think it may make sense to want more money is to do interesting important things. If you earn more money, the market obviously thinks you're good at producing things that sell. It's not perfect as sometimes the market (e.g. the people) prefers something rather stupid. However, in general, I think entrepreneurs are the ultimate redistributors of money in the society. I don't believe government is effecient at doing the same job: it doesn't care whether it wastes it, it always knows it will get its share (taxation is not voluntary) and it's filled with people who have no idea how to actually make a useful product. An entrepreneur earned his money by people voluntarily giving it to him for something they want. He knows what a failure is.

So yeah, I think wanting to earn a lot of money is great and no one should feel ashamed of wanting that.
I'd be keen on doing or learning about a mapping from spatial tree to 2d raster and have the inverse (dual) mapped back to a spatial tree via a deep learning model, though I'm not sure how you'd represent the shapes and transform matrices. Maybe some sort of matrix stream like char2vec?

A nice property of such an experiment, you could generate your training data via permutations of the spatial trees.

You may have to accept multiple valid answers, since one could correctly say, the ball is to the left of the car, or the car is to the right of the ball.
Of course, and many programming languages offer similar features as Rust. I've not used Ada myself, but people claim it offers similar safety features.

From my experience though, Rust is the first language that I've had the pleasure to use which offers both the safety guarantees of Java (and more, no data races!) and the low level features of C.

It still leaves me in awe what has been accomplished with Rust, and I've been using it for more than two years now.

One thing I've pondered is with merely a genome could you construct the organism it's from?

Craig Venter already did that with a bacterial. He synthesized the entire genome, then inserted it a cell. I assume that cell already had the other machinery (translation enzymes, etc).

Yecch. The bible. Please don't bring the bible into this.

We're talking about programming, not hocus pocus.
Instantly, as in next line of code? Yeah, probable human error (or auto-generated code).

Without being used? Not surprising. It is surprisingly common to allocate a variable, pass it to a function, and have the call never actually use the variable. Unwind, and the variable is destructed without use.

I've seen other nasty framework errors exposed by such (non-)usage patterns.
> Are you the kind of person who is so worn down by the numbing drudgery of late capitalism that you can’t summon the energy to drag a 2 ounce toothbrush across your gums for 90 seconds a day? Well, the electric toothbrush has been a thing for a long time.

OK. OK. Not defending other practices in the article, but as someone who long thought electric toothbrushes were a silly gimmick but finally got (a fairly cheap) one a couple months back: they are. not. a. gimmick. Oh man. Life changing. First time I used it it felt like I'd had a professional cleaning. No amount of brushing with an ordinary one had ever done that. I could never go back. Even when I'm lazy and only do half the cycle it gets my teeth much cleaner than a manual brush could. The difference is dramatic and they're not really that expensive as long as you don't go for a bunch of stupid features.

When we have guaranteed permanent net neutrality and ban these BS data caps, I may agree with you.
I think computing optical flow remains a major time bottleneck. Any attempt at temporal coherence would be great, and I'm sure there is some attempt on Messenger, but it really only works well for the last style transfer filter, all the way to the right in the app, and that one only really looks great in well lit scenes. Also, the phone seems to heat up a lot.
The hard part is getting the "equivalent" C program. :)
> Voluntary taxation is a thing

Is it? I've heard it as a theory, but never as an actual example. I'm not aware of its ever being applied on a practical scale in modern history, and a quick google didn't turn up any obvious examples. Citations?

> Secondly, there absolutely are opposed viewpoints on the matter, and the use of euphemisms is partly responsible for the vast majority of the population not even considering alternatives.

I'm not saying that their aren't opposing viewpoints, I'm saying that the language isn't intentionally unclear to hide that. As things stand, any bill to do X is going to raise and/or reallocate taxes to fund doing X. Calling a bill "The X Bill" rather than "The bill that raises taxes to do X" isn't a euphemism, but just a practical use of language where the 'raise taxes' part is universally assumed and implied. Maybe there are better alternatives to that model, and I agree that people probably don't stop to consider such alternatives as much as they should, but there's still a fundamental difference between omitting something that is implied and being actively deceptive.

I wouldn't go so far as to call desire to fit in or display wealth/success a weakness, considering it is a sexual strategy which is basic human nature and continues to be generally successful today. In this sense juicero arguably provides a service, although an obviously subpar one given alternatives.

I'm not sure I follow your fashion industry example. Assuming youre referring to weight, the so called unrealistic representations manufactured by the fashion industry do not cause customers to spend extra money on clothing, since customers simply won't fit into unreasonable sizes. And here, similarly, fashion companies provide a service of status signalling.

In any case, these are both examples of consumers failing to personally choose not to follow the herd. Additionally, corporations do not set standards in a vacuum, consumers create demand and vote with their wallets.
You can't enforce type safety at the IR level. LLVM IR has very little in the way of type information.
I guess that's why you Rust guys don't have exceptions, so you don't have to pay this cost.

Similar here, although there are no decent meetups where I am. I was the only one amongst my group of friends that caught the programming bug early on, and only one of two in my whole year group I think that went on to do software dev.

In hindsight it sucks a bit not being able to bounce things off friends, but you're normally/hopefully going to have colleagues for that. I guess the most dangerous situation is having no friends in IT, and working as the sole IT person somewhere... you may not get exposed to new ideas or best practices etc. Easily the most I've learned (in terms of useful things that I otherwise might have missed) is from pair-programming (can be frustrating too). Otherwise I think it's pretty healthy hanging out with non-IT people out of hours.
I don't really see how your example applies to the point the root comment made. S3 surely _is_ a distributed system, but he is specifically talking about data residing on _one_ machine (notwithstanding the bits about read only followers).
I'm doubtful about this. There's no neural connection between mother and child, and I find it hard to believe there's some alternative communication mode with enough bandwidth to teach behaviours.

The fetus may be listening to the outside environment or hearing his or her mother talk, but if this was a prerequisite to the "specialness" of humans/primates you are referring to, then we would see significant differences in the immediate post-natal behaviour of congenitally deaf children. I haven't searched the literature for this topic, but I personally have never seen that mentioned.

An easier explanation is that these are genetically encoded. The ducks are a good example. Ducks hatched from eggs that are artificially incubated seem to have the same core instincts as those hatched from natural incubation.

That said, there are still important forms of communication between mother and child: chemicals. An extreme example is the disastrous and tragic affect of alcohol on fetal development.

How about this: Medical offices have poor infosec practices.

There are many small doctors offices where the doctor is the executive.

A vendor will convince the doctor that their suite of software and hardware will solve all of their problems.

The doctor buys the package, and because they believed the vendor, they don't do anything more about security.

Then the doctor finds that the package doesn't work with X supplier or whatever, so the doc buys another package from another vendor, but keeps the old stuff.

The surface area is large and fertile.

So it's not necessarily that EHRs are particularly valuable, but that they are particularly available.
There is a lot of "undefined behavior" (UB) in C, including straightforward stuff like overflowing signed integer addition. More insidiously, multithreaded code can be quite hard to write in C, because it's very very very easy to trigger UB in your multithreaded code. For example, if you have a shared variable that's protected by a lock, it's pretty easy to accidentally forget to lock the lock (or lock the wrong lock) before accessing the variable, and now you've invoked undefined behavior. Rust doesn't allow you to make those mistakes.
"When you create a product at a company and use the company's resources, the IP belongs to the company. If you're going branch out and work on a related product, you better understand the legal issues first.

I mean, this should be pretty obvious to anyone who has so much as had a passing glance on their employment contract. I doubt very much that Levandowski didn't know this could put him in trouble.

Checklist-Driven Security Considered Harmful
If "love of money as a possession" is so rare, then how come so many people who have huge amounts of money don't spend it?

Anyway, the general point here is that as you acquire more dollars, the relative value (to you) of a dollar diminishes. That's all the parent post was saying.

It does seems somewhat bizarre to see someone so successful still behave so ruthlessly in order to make money. Of course, that's my snap judgement. Levandowski may not be motivated by money at all. Although I doubt he's motivated by weekend trips to Puerto Rico either.

The most desirable, and most physically constrained cities, are mostly coastal. Could something like this work in a place like Vancouver, Seattle, or SF? There is always the threat of bureaucracy or regulations getting in the way, but the incredible pressure of the housing crisis might be enough to encourage open-mindedness on the part of the relevant local leaders.

For the endangered artist community, I could see this working better than it does for someone who works in a specific building. Certainly not a small undertaking, though.

For those who don't like YT links, this is a short professional documentary/interview about a couple who built their home from scratch, on the ocean. Most materials are salvaged, and everything was built by hand. It is beautiful. For a Canadian bureaucrat, the whole thing probably doesn't even compute.
> You could use LLVM to compile any language to LLVM IR, and then to machine code using a backend. Does that mean every language has the same properties as Rust?

Nope, it's largely depend on the language design.

> If Node/Java/Go use GC (or VMs), then aren't they more safe than Rust?

Yes and No, memory allocation is one of the issue in GC. Go is generally more safe on networking but not security where Rust can manage it securely.

This is a good read on Java vs Rust: https://llogiq.github.io/2016/02/28/java-rust.html

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14173716
https://github.com/stouset/secrets/tree/stack-secrets

In fact, we don't have to bother much with GC because it's depend on programmers and job availability. GC was created based on the idea that manage memory is hard for large scale project. It work well for Azul Systems, and they have recently advertised for LLVM engineer to bring more performance where JVM could not.
(Explanation of the /s: panics use the same mechanism, so the compiler and libraries unfortunately still have to be just as defensive when they're enabled. When the compiler is in -C panic=abort mode, it doesn't suffer from this, but I don't think libraries have a great way to customise/improve their behaviour in that case at the moment.)
Ada Lovelace and Alan Turing arguably?
In the same way it's possible to have strong ethics and yet be comfortable with "honor killings."
They're different languages with different philosophies. C provides a set of very powerful and potentially dangerous tools (direct memory access and management, for instance), and does not police how you use them. Rust want you to carefully explain what you want to do with those tools via its ownership system, unless you opt for "unsafe".

Rust is like the safety mechanism on a sawblade that shuts off once it realizes it's cutting into your finger.
Well, that post got no comments. So this could just be a resubmission.
"However, these models are largely big black-boxes. There are a lot of things we don’t understand about them."

This describes geometry as well as it describes deep learning.
Not really, similar techniques were developed as early as.the 70s and there are sufficient doubt that the student project in the news did not go as well as they claimed, nor was there any report of reproducibility in a controlled laboratory setting.
Open Letter to Delta Regarding Removal of Passenger on DL2035 on 4/18/17
Most conferences I've been to I hardly talked to anyone but I still found the experience more memorable and useful than watching numerous talks on YouTube. There's of course good and bad conferences depending on speakers and organisation.
Except once all conferences I've attended were paid in full by my employer too. Some were actually suggested by the employer and some I suggested and they agreed to fund.
Which model did you get?
> In computer vision, geometry describes the structure and shape of the world. Specifically, it concerns measures such as depth, volume, shape, pose, disparity, motion or optical flow.

Isn't optimization geometry? DL is just shifting the requisite geometric insights to a different level of abstraction. Take that knowledge of geometry, revolutionize non-convex optimization, and let all fields that build on the base abstraction benefit.
You should allow it to be any number of keys. Imagine if touchpads had you do gestures exactly in dedicated areas, it would kinda ruin the experience.

E.g. I thought it wasn't working because I accidentally used the wrong key.
On the whole, certainly an improvement over any open-floor plan.

But... some points made me cringe.

> The unisex bathroom has a separate shower for those that come to the office by bike.

I do not want a unisex bathroom. I've had a unisex bathroom... at work and in college and I don't want to go back to that again. Unisex bathrooms create way too many awkward situations... (And also, I wouldn't put the bathroom next to the kitchen... that's just odd.)

> The kitchen is very well equipped with a large stove, because cooking is a great social activity, and you can’t beat healthy, self-cooked lunch.

I don't want there to be a kitchen at work. Truth be told, I don't even want there to be a microwave at work... this is the source of the bad smells the author was complaining about. These things never get cleaned right. I've worked for a lot of agencies, including some really nice places, and unless they have full-time custodial staff going around cleaning up after you, the kitchen will always be disgusting. And the smell... encouraging people to cook at work I think is a horrible idea. If I had a kitchen... I certainly wouldn't put the stove against an interior wall, I'd want that to be vented outside with a strong range hood fan.

> No dedicated meeting room? Yes, meetings should be reduced to an absolute minimum and can be held in one of the offices or in the stand-up area. This makes them public and everyone easily has the chance to join in.

I'd want one or two dedicated meeting rooms. If only for interviews, or staff disciplinary meetings / HR meetings where it wouldn't be appropriate to have it in someone's office... I don't need a massive conference room, but a couple of 12x12 rooms with round tables and some white boards would be nice.
So all this drama is kinda pointless. I mentioned in another thread that SV culture actively encourages this kind of behavior and ultimately I think folks buy into the system because everyone deep down thinks they're gonna become a millionaire this way.

I'm only watching because of morbid curiosity and really I have no stake in the outcome whatever it may be. Both companies are equally bad in my opinion and they are making things more and more unsustainable. The modern technology ecosystem feels very unhealthy in general.

The original source, with the actual science: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15112

It's not quite a total replacement for a natural womb (and the Nature article only uses the word "womb once, in the abstract), as it can't grow a fetus from an embryo; you have to start with a pre-incubated fetus that already has an umbilical ford to plug into and a strong enough heart. But even though we won't be growing test-tube babies 100% in-vitro with this thing, it is a major advance that could significantly push back the earliest time at which a premature baby could remain viable with artificial incubation.
Thanks for the link, looks pretty detailed. I work in steel fabrication, so it'll make interesting reading for me.
In the sense that moral relativism is a thing yes. A big difference being acceptance within modern western culture. I'd assume (hope) there is a minuscule amount of people for honor killings while it appears to me quite common to not give two hoots about IP outside of fear of legal consequences.
Backslash is almost universally associated with "escaping" the next character in a string. The only place I've ever seen it used as a separator is in Windows, and my understanding is that it causes enough grief when used in strings that people dislike it there as well. The only reason Windows uses backslash is because DOS 1.0 didn't have hierarchies and already used slash for command switches, so they used backslash so it wouldn't conflict.

What is wrong with ::? It's visually distinct, isn't easily confused for other things, and unused for anything else, which pretty much hits all the criteria I care about for this feature.

I'm seriously asking, why do people dislike ::? Is there an actual basis, or do people just not like the look?
Multiple times. Sorry to hear your reading skills weren't up to snuff!
I think you're getting ribbed a bit.
C/C++ compiler will compile your code if it is correct.
Rust will not compile code if it can detect that it will not work or it is not safe even though the syntax is correct. It can guarantee the program is memory safe (double free, user after free, null dereferencing, using uninitialized memory, array bounds checks).

This makes large refactorings so much easier. It also makes working on large projects with lots of people much easier.

Arizona has no transgender protections at the state level. Local protections mean jack shit. It must be done at the state level or it's meaningless.

Also, I hate artsy hipsters with a passion. Even though I'm transgender, I'm deeply conservative in most other respects, I specifically want to live in a conservative suburb in a blue state. I don't want independent record stores and third-wave coffee shops. I want shopping malls, strip centers, cookie-cutter housing, and Asian people operating restaurants that serve their traditional food (I especially don't want white people remixing ethnic food that's not theirs). What I want is Plano, TX dug out of the ground and transported into a blue state. This is why I'm looking at Torrance and Orange County in CA.
I like the way you think.

I'm going to change all error messages to:

"Please click this link and type the following GUID into the web page."

That way, based on history, I'll at least get an email with the error copied in. They'll never click the link, but if they do one or the other, I'll have the info I need.

Now if I could just stop people from submitting bug reports for 404 errors...
1) This is an impossible question to answer without a lot of detail. Some web apps will cost $10k, some will cost $100k.

2) You should learn the difference between UI and UX before you continue contacting freelancers.

3) I don't see a reason to use someone in the Bay Area. You'll pay a high premium for her cost of living, and you won't necessarily get better results. Shop around for a person or shop that has already made some good apps.
