Recently learnt in more depth around this, and did a really fun project to automate this in an ASP.net control.

Input is:

<Controls:ResponsiveImageFixedSize runat="server"
Alt="Logo"
ImagePath="/global/construct-3-logo.png"
Width="43"
DisableLazyLoading="True"
/>

Renders as:

<img width="43" height="44" srcset="https://s2.construct.net/images/v173/r/global/construct-3-logo_v43.png 1x, https://s2.construct.net/images/v173/r/global/construct-3-logo_v64.png 1.5x, https://s2.construct.net/images/v173/r/global/construct-3-logo_v90.png 2x, https://s3.construct.net/images/v173/r/global/construct-3-logo_v110.png 2.5x, https://s3.construct.net/images/v173/r/global/construct-3-logo_v130.png 3x" src="https://s2.construct.net/images/v173/r/global/construct-3-logo_v43.png" alt="Logo"/>

Works and looks great on high dpi displays. Lazy loading enabled renders something like:

At this point I was thinking that's actually a fair old chunk of text to display an image, but still worth doing.

It can be quite fiddly doing this, but it's nice when it's done and works as expected!
I'm 100% convinced this is a joke. The costs to do this are astronomical. I'll bet anyone $100 that within 6 months from today, this will be revealed to be a prank. Most likely a Nathan for You skit.
One of my pet peeves is that 1password doesn't seem to support security questions out of the box, so I have to manually generate random passwords with it, fields for Q1, A1, etc., then set those fields to type "password".

Semi-automatic firearms are perfectly legal in all 50 states. (With some restrictions on barrel length, magazine size, accessories, etc)

Fully automatic weapons are more heavily regulated. Large taxes, permits, etc.
> certain amount of work

This is the crux. How does the business decide what's a reasonable amount of work to get done in a sprint? If the dev in the OP has time to work on his own stuff, why shouldn't the business ask for a bigger commitment in the next sprint?
> It clearly doesn't help.

I don't know about that. Judging by OliverJones' post, corrupt lawyers could well be even worse without the formal code of ethics.
This is more detailed and transparent than I ever expected to see, particularly about crew changes as the reason for rebooking. That's not saying much, though. It ignores the CEO's 2-3 days of justifying United's actions as intentional and appropriate.

How about some self-examination why the CEO didn't immediately acknowledge that physical force wasn't justified?

"Efficient processing of large graphs is challenging. Graph
algorithms often exhibit poor locality of memory access, very
little work per vertex, and a changing degree of parallelism
over the course of execution [31, 39]. Distribution over many
machines exacerbates the locality issue, and increases the
probability that a machine will fail during computation."

https://kowshik.github.io/JPregel/pregel_paper.pdf

^ (Pregel is Google's batch graph processing framework)

FWIW most graph computations can fit on a single powerful machine these days. There really aren't that many that require distributed processing.
Those points remain in contention. Here's the rebuttal, also published in Politico.

You're probably thinking of the Epic Citadel tech demo [1]. It was specifically created for demonstrating emscripten on Unreal Engine 3.

This is the original UT99 game instead. It's similar, but not the same.

SyncThing mostly works. Dropbox just doesn't support soft links. I have tried so many of these tools and SyncThing comes close to preventing me from reaching for rsync. SyncThing between Windows and Linux was painful the last time I tried though with all sorts of, you guessed it, soft link issues.

Official line from Dropbox is not to use soft links.
> I assume you're talking about products in the same price range that were made in China?

Doesn't have to be China, any reasonably competent product will utterly embarrass PA's speakers. There's no avoiding physics, and a 3" full range cannot be more than it is, even if you charge $300+ for it.

If you like small single driver speakers check out Mark Audio. They're an example of the sort of driver PA should be using if they actually gave a crap about sound quality.

> You're trading quality of components for quality of workmanship

There is no meaningful workmanship involved. My grandfather was a luthier. I've designed and built speakers. This is a massively overpriced product being marketed via rhetoric that is directly opposed to everything we know from actual, formal, research.
"getting closer"... that's not much to go on.

If you read the article skeptically, there isn't any news here - nothing that hasn't been reported prior to the last 2 or 3 years.

The big news will be when we can fabricate complex organs, significant patches of skin with features like hair follicles or fingerprints, etc. Notice that even the liver reference was just some liver tissue that was implanted in a mouse - not an actual liver or a human trial.

Technically, MX are not mandatory. As per RFC2821, if no MX is found the A record will be used.

In the past I used this fact regularly when obtaining SSL certificates for subdomains that were pointed at my server. Customer "foo.com" would point app.foo.com at my server for me to host my service for them on their subdomain. To obtain an SSL certificate, I would select email validation to admin@app.foo.com and not need an MX record in the customer's DNS system in order to receive the email, it would be delivered purely based on the A record pointing to my server.

Just FYI, Obama taught at University of Chicago Law School. And he was pretty successful as a lawyer. Looks like he chose to do less corporate work (not judging), which may have resulted in him earning less, but U of C profs definitely do OK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#Law_career

Yes. Mostly because of delays that cause them to miss a flight that they're connecting with.

You also have people oversleeping, getting caught in traffic, getting confused about their flight time. It happens. I've missed a few flights in my life for these reasons. (But just a few.)

Finally, business travelers do make last minute cancelations and changes on a pretty regular basis--for example, to get on an earlier flight out.
I was involved in the warez scene as a cracker and a trader around the turn of the century. In a way it was a fun scene with groups that had strict hierarchies as in companies, the community aspect was strong, you could earn fame if you worked hard enough for it and had the skill, which was all pretty fascinating for us youngsters spending their nights in front of their PCs. In hindsight though, it was flatout stupid to participate in illegal activities over unencrypted IRC channels and FTP sites located at universities with hundreds of users. There were bouncers/tcp-tunnels and stuff, but many didn't care to use them. Things got scary when some of my affiliates got busted in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Buccaneer. Thankfully I got out without getting my ass burned.
Related: Here is an interesting piece from Benedict Evans, where he argues that there are currently many reasons voice technology isn't ready to be the next platform.

http://ben-evans.com/benedictevans/2017/2/22/voice-and-the-u...

An excerpt:

"There's a set of contradictions here, I think. Voice UIs look, conceptually, like much more unrestricted and general purpose interfaces than a smartphone, but they're actually narrower and more single-purpose. They look like less friction than pulling out your phone, unlocking it, loading an app and so on, and they are - but only if you've shifted your mental model. They look like the future beyond smartphones, but in their (necessarily) closed, locked-down nature they also look a lot like feature phones or carrier decks. And they're a platform, but one that might get worse the bigger the developer ecosystem"
That's why I didn't respond to you specifically, and only the person asserting that it's straight-up unreadable. It isn't.
I think a more common occurrence than "let's move everything from MySQL to Mongo", is "we need these user preferences really fast, so let's cache them in Redis". If you need to do something like that, you can handle all the implementation details in that domain/service layer without changing the API to the rest of your application(s).
A related question -- for companies that assert copyright over all your work done on personal time -- do you typically receive this prior to your start date (along with the job offer letter), or is it something that you have to sign after starting?

Really cool office. I like that there is a lot of windows. I imagine they could be closed if you want less sunlight/glare.

I like the unisex bathroom. The majority of bathrooms are already unisex, as everyone have unisex restrooms at home. We could avoid a lot of complications by having them in the offices as well. Another good thing of your model is not having the gap in the stalls that is so common in the US. I also loved having a shower. One thing, why do you need the window between the bathroom and the kitchen? I don't like the idea of everyone in the kitchen looking who is going to the bathroom.

One thing that would bother me working in this office is that it looks like almost every computer screen has a window behind it or is facing a common area. I don't like that, personally.

The one-on-one meeting area, I think they would be better in a place with a whiteboard and more acoustic isolation and privacy. It could be used for interviewing a candidate too.

The stand-up room could lose one window in favor of a whiteboard.
Think of it this way: the question isn't for you, it's for the interviewer. He/she wants to know if you're smart enough to work for him. So answering that co-worker Paul had this problem that he'd been battling for days and then he finally came to you for help, and explaining how you helped him is a valid answer. It gives the interviewer the insight he's looking for and make you look good.
Yeah, this is basically the real UT99 codebase ported to run in the browser, but only includes resource files sufficient for the intro and main menu.

The author outlined this in one of the bullet points.

I agree, the main menu was equally impressively responsive for me, even at 2560x1600 resolution.

Is this actually useful to people? Please don't give me non-answers like "well it got upvoted.."
Hide and call 911 (or whatever emergency number for your country) is usually the advice police give.

If you're not living alone, it's a bit more complicated. Instruct your family to know how to hide in situations of home invasion and to call 911. Engaging with burglars is not really worth the risk. Valuables can be replaced, life cannot.

As for preventative measures, you could get a dog or two (and train them properly), multiple loud alarms all over the house, and put night-vision enabled cameras in very visible places pointed at entry points (the cameras should be obvious to the burglar that it's a camera, it might scare them off).

If you want to go further, burglars tend to not burglarize homes that they know are occupied or with people awake. If you leave lights on or audible TV/radio/music on, it might be enough for them to back out. That could be distracting to sleep/power-bill-costly though.

Live in a nice neighborhood the police pay attention to. Install an alarm system which makes a lot of noise and calls the cops, probably most people trying to break in will not stick around once the alarm goes off. Statistically the chances of a breakin, especially by some sort of violent uber-cat-burglar, are probably quite low.

[Edit] And as another poster said, get a dog.

It's the principle of parking a crappy car next to a Mercedes. You just need to convince the car thief to steal the other guys car, ie, convince the burglar there are easier targets around.

I didn't say that, at all. I merely acknowledged there's a problem, a significant one in my eyes. I have no idea what the solution is.
Well, nor can the EU have its cake and eat it - if a workable trade agreement cannot be reached post-Brexit, both sides suffer. I hope that commerce can be put above ideology here. I'd be interested to know how those in the EU whose livelihoods depend on trade with the UK would view it - I suspect they wouldn't care greatly about a little compromise if it meant keeping their jobs. What are the supposed amazing benefits of the EU versus having work?

I see myself living in a new home that I built myself.

I see myself living on primarily 'passive' income from past investments--an established B&M business, mostly (it's 7 years old now), and hopefully a side-project will be generating some 'lifestyle' revenue by then.

I see myself building out a more self-sustainable lifestyle where I live, with some things like a greenhouse, small livestock (rabbits and chickens). I see myself building systems to make these also as passive as possible.

I see myself with a young child, easily the most exciting prospect.

All of these things are already on course, so I'm not just daydreaming!

Tech predictions: Who knows? In 5 years I don't expect a major shift. Mostly just a massive pile of javascript libraries. I think FB will start a downward descent which ends in them being dethroned. The current ecosystem of FB & Google knowing every intimate detail about us is not sustainable.

Using -Wl,--enable-new-dtags merely restores the default behavior. More specifically, it only restores the usual precedence behavior.

Most people don't set the DT_RPATH ELF tag. It's usually considered best practice to NOT set DT_RPATH. And that's generally good advice, except that advice assumes absolute paths. Most people aren't familiar with $ORIGIN, which allows using relative rpaths. In any event, my point is that most environments already allow LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If it's been restricted then --enable-new-dtags won't change that.

What --enable-new-dtags actually does is set DT_RUNPATH instead of DT_RPATH. DT_RPATH has higher precedence than LD_LIBRARY_PATH; DT_RUNPATH has lower precedence.

To reiterate, DT_RPATH and DT_RUNPATH are independent of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and don't effect whether it's permitted or not. I recommend --enable-new-dtags to avoid confusion and unintentional side-effects.

I've known about $ORIGIN for awhile, but only recently hit upon --enable-new-dtags. I was hacking on a project recently ported to and packaged for CentOS 7. The relevant components were a Lua C module (acme.foo) binding a shared library (libacme-foo). The in-tree unit and regression tests used LUA_PATH, LUA_CPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH so the in-tree objects were loaded instead of any that might happen to be installed on the system. I was adding some debugging code to the shared library and running `make check`, but my changes didn't seem to be coming through in the tests. I was totally confused.

After far too much wasted time, I eventually realized that CentOS 7's base Lua 5.1 package was built with an embedded rpath of /usr/lib64. A version of the package I was hacking on was already installed on the system. So /usr/lib64/libacme-foo.so was linked when dlopen'ing the Lua C module instead of the in-tree libacme-foo.so that should have been found with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. That's how I became familiar with the precedence of rpath and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and the availability of the --enable-new-dtags option.

I'm not sure why Red Hat built their core Lua 5.1 binary with an rpath, but they almost certainly should have used --enable-new-dtags when doing so. Notably, /usr/bin/perl on CentOS 7 is built with --enable-new-dtags; it has DT_RUNPATH=/usr/lib64/perl5/CORE. Just as notably, AFAICT Python isn't built with any rpath.
This is a case of legacy code left in an important attack surface. I doubt many people need a virtual floppy drive today.
Along similar lines Real-Time Collision Detection[1] is a tour-de-force in spatial partitioning algorithms. It's basically data-structures for 2D/3D along with some really good coverage of common floating point numerical issues and cache friendly algorithms.

>Intuitively, I would have thought that a second system (rewrite of the first) may be better due to lessons learned.

And at least in one case, it was: in a C database middleware product that I worked on, as the team leader. It did work earlier but had big issues of bugs, slowness, memory leaks, and maintainability. There were many reasons for that, including complete freshers put to work in it (a mistake). After me and a small new team took over, we improved it a lot and fixed all those issues. It went on to become a much more successful product, deployed somewhat widely within the company, for client projects ...
But can we have a cluster of computers that look like a single computer sharing the underlying hardware, because that's just basically linking a remote device. I supposed special kernel has to be written to overlay.

I don't think it would be easy, but completely doable and one way to go to reduce problems in big cities, especially the capsule-esque bus... Both public and private transport with the same network, it can be good! Especially if combined with autonomous drive from/to the spot and tunnels' lifts.

I would definitely be glad to work on a project like this!

Great article. Covers a lot of aspects on how ML can help designers be more creative and productive!

At Huula, I'm a firm believer that ML can automate various parts of web designs. We just released a new experiment CSSToucan[1] to auto color texts on web pages with Recurrrent Neural Networks. It learns to color texts on web pages without a single line of color theories in the code. All learned from the data. Hope to see more and more ML powered design tools emerging!

Why make such blanket statements and logically loose arguments? You might as well advise the commenter to refrain from buying knives and baseball bats, too. Because, statistically, you're much more likely to be killed with a knife or a baseball bat in the commission of a crime.

A gun is a tool with a high(er) degree of lethality. Just like any other tool in the house, if one is not trained and practiced in its use, one is far more likely to make an error when using it in an emergency situation.

If you want to make blanket advice statements, at least qualify them. The responsible thing to say, in this situation, is, "Please don't buy a gun without undergoing proper training." Guns are a force multiplier/equalizer and we live in a society where guns are easily obtained by criminals. Telling law abiding citizens to strictly avoid force-multipliers like firearms, in our society, benefits the criminals and anti-gun lobby -- but it doesn't benefit the person to whom you've replied.

In fact, you've only perpetuated the cycle of fear by trying to instill more fear in your argument to avoid guns (lest they kill a family member, murder an innocent person or be shot with the firearm).
What if we train them with bad traits?
