No, and I've set it up many times. It's just . . . whenever I talk to people about this I get the impression they think it secures them against more. Non-technical people especially (but not just them) worry about someone "hacking into the system". Full-disk encryption is almost more like physical security than digital security.
How do you define "works for you"? For example, say I take cold showers and decide "this makes me cold; I don't like it" and then start taking hot showers everyday. But then imagine that one day, we find a link between hot showers and cancer.

How was I supposed to know that cold showers would have been better for me? Should my "bad habit" really be blamed?
He raised some very valid points though: requiring an account, no activity, no real benefit offered by real-time as things stand on the website.

Edit: To add my own - Doesn't work without Javascript, information density of both content and comments is far too low, and, flatly, Why? What benefit does it offer over Reddit? What role does it fill that Reddit isn't presently filling? Because for me, things that Reddit does terribly includes iffy moderation, witty snark being upvoted more than sensible comments, and their abysmal search. HN, for instance, is great with all of these things, so I'm on here a lot.
Step 1: If your girlfriend is also your best friend then move to step 2.

Step 2: if you both want kids then move to step 3.

Step 3: If you want to protect your assests against your best friend with whom you want to build a family, go ahead and setup a prenup. Though, you might get stuck at that step because you'd put your money or your career first then your wife (best friend and mother of your kids) second. Why not? It's totally possible. Thought, I would NOT recommend a marriage in this case because it doesn't make any sense.

Step 4: let's say you skipped step 3 and made it to step 4. At this stage, you can pop the question, it makes sense.

Congrats.
That's roughly the gist of it. If the validation set is a subset of the training set then you are making a whole pile of assumptions that need not necessarily be true.

Since the network can't explain what those assumptions exactly are it may make conclusions that work empirically at training time and that pass validation but that have no solid theoretical underpinning as soon as those assumptions fail the systems will fail.

Oh yea? A lot of them can barely pass STEP 2 CS which just tests your ability to communicate in English and whether you can make two empathetic statements per patient encounter.

Whenever the sensed input changes.

To use the car analogy: when additional or fewer sensors are used, when a different part number sensor is used, when driving laws are changed, when road signs or traffic lights are updated, when other cars begin behaving differently, etc.

"Trump is a far more avid tweeter than his predecessor, adding original posts (as opposed to retweets) at an average rate of almost 40 a week. In the first several months of his presidency, this has created a trove of information that -- thanks in part to programmer Brendan Brown, who has collected the missives into the Trump Twitter Archive -- can be downloaded and mined for insights into his and his audience's preferences and priorities."

Quantitative measures require units of measurement.

When the same taster is judging two dishes at the same time, the emotional state is the same, the taste buds are the same, the mental state is the same. The effect is the same as if you had a tasting robot programmed to output a number when you drop food into its sampling port. Most of the subjectivity is removed. But different people/tastebots have different calibration settings, so you can't compare results between tasters, or even between different times for the same taster. It's only objective if you taste steps to remove the subjectivity: blindfolds on, equal-sized portions, neutral-flavor palate-cleanser between tastes, quiet room, etc.; but if you are careful, you can then have reasonable confidence that if A > B in that subjective state, it is likely that A > B in most other subjective states, too. (Any state that caused B > A would then be considered "interesting".)

A subjective, qualitative measurement would be something like Scoville heat units. Each taster has a different sensitivity to piquant chemicals, and different rates of sensory adaptation, so multiple judges are used, and results are imprecise.

An ordinal ranking is not quantitative. You can't tell the following apart:

qualitative ordinal ranking
A > B > C > D > E > F > G > H

|<-theoretic quantitative measurement->|
----A---B--C-------D-EF---G------H------
------AB----C----D----E----F-----G--H---
A------------------------------BCD--EFGH
-------------A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H------------
Didn't Ardour use to sell binaries? I was looking at it a while ago for inspiration on how to make money for Octave. Have they switched to a monthly subscription donation service?

A 100$ toaster is not a cheap in the way a 100$ laptop is. Basically, if your buying a 1,000$ laptop and they reserve 5% of the price for support that's 50$. If your buying a 100$ laptop don't expect the same 50$ be set aside unless your actually willing to spend 150$ on 100$ of components and 50$ of support.
Just draw what you're building on a piece of paper. That's going to force you to think through a lot of it. Amazing how few FE engineers will do this.
None taken, but you obviously didn't even read the post.

These project machines are shipped (or physically hand-carried) by grad students from random universities all over the world. They come from who-knows-what IT department running who-knows-what software packages, often cobbled together JUST enough to get it working because they're so budget and time constrained that's all the resources they had to throw at it. So the lab is full of bespoke machines running a variety of very obscure software, much of it on tailored Windows boxes.

So no, "me and my colleagues" didn't "destroy a multi-million dollar project by trying to save a few dollars."
All of these alternatives are going to run into this same kind of trouble unless they have real financial backing, because the incentive to switch is just not there for most users. New users have to be brought in, which is very expensive, and the community will almost certainly have to be salted with astroturf, as reddit was in days of yore.

Over the years I've been surprised at the "stickiness" of user habits. They can have every reason to switch to another site and still refuse to do so, preferring the old habit. Communities do occasionally move, but it's hard to make it happen.

The other issue is that reddit is an inlet, a way for communities to get traffic and find each other. This is partially because of the inadequacy of search engines like Google, which have been thoroughly gamed for the last decade or so, such that they almost always prefer crappy, highly-commercialized results that have been "SEO-optimized" v. organic, real-person-generated content.

A reddit competitor would need to address a) user stickiness, and unwillingness to give up old habits; and b) supply a stable quantity of new users to keep the community active and alive.

Do bear in mind that reddit itself generally has a reputation as a "dark corner of the internet" in the public mind. There is probably room for something more widely accessible if it can somehow control the user intake and avoid an "anything goes" atmosphere.
The server gives you a URL like https://safepaste.org/10dab736#595f4642d2fbcf14a235a9de40a37.... When you load it, the end result is that you're viewing your decrypted data. That means the server can also load the URL (which it generated for you originally, and therefore knows) and decrypt the data. What am I missing?

Considering it's FLOSS, I don't think any of those points are valid. I agree that, for it to be more trusted, it should be self-hosted. So, self-host it! Verify it's not logging! Verify the "burn after reading" does the deletion! If you care at all about security, and hosting a secure service, that's going to be essential anyway.
Boiling down the FLOSS project to its provided hosted version is quite missing the point.

This isn't valid. The fact is, this service isn't self-hosted and is encouraging people to use the non-self-hosted version. There is no guarantee that the code running on the server is identical to the github repo.
Just doing some mental back-of-the-envelope stuff, I believe that submarine reactors have more mass than the entirety of the ISS.
Coming from a background of WebViews hybrid development (Cordova/Ionic), React Native simply blew my mind. How I see it is you get the UI advantages of doing native development, with the advantages of using React for the front-end just like I would for the web and going the native way whenever you need to.

I don't think all projects should be done with it as native development still has its place for certain kind of apps, but for a typical thin-client app wrapping a web service, it's really great.

Why does this matter
4 years NSA, 14 years Army Signal Corps (routers/switches/radios) with multiple overseas tours, now working in an enterprise financial data center with CCNA/CISSP and a TS/SCI with full scope poly would put me a little ways out of the "completely incompetent IT staff" category.
Wouldn't surprise me at all considering he didn't understand computers at all back then.
In an audio interview [0], he explains how he contacted Apple support because his Apple II's disc drive was so loud.

In his imagination computers had not been supposed to be so loud and crude, but rather crystalline and silent, so he was confused by actual the computers being rather loud and using such "victorian technology".

Is there a reason this is not released globally, but only in the US? I am not on the US App Store, so cannot see this app.
I am sympathetic to your reasoning. I am terrible at design, but I think almost anything would be better than what you have. An obvious banner works well. Allowing a few attempts works well, but in that case, how do you rate limit someone executing code without an account?
Wouldn't the IDE with the largest financial backing seem like the best choice? Making complex things accessible isn't cheap or easy.
Or essentially that deep learning is unable to discriminate between beliefs and facts. And we can't read the models well enough to tell which is which.

So it would be like being handed a list of high level bridge building rules with no context, then being asked to build a bridge in a geological environment where one has never been built before.

Will it work? Who knows! How would we say?

This is off topic but the website the author linked to for "Moogfest" has a very unique design:

http://www.moogfest.com/

Haven't seen anything like that before. Scrolling marques everywhere. I wonder if this will be a new trend.
Yeah, I should stop being lazy and host a personal domain again. It just is such a bad situation these days. Either you:

1. Pay a reasonable rate for a full time server in services that are just truly awful, have no redundancy options, and are associated with a lot of unsavory activity or...

2. You pay a totally unreasonable rate to host it in a more reputable cloud service.

3. You run it out of your home or office and deal with your locale's interent. In my case (California Bay Area) it's bad.
I bought a Pine 64 also after someone mentioned it on HN and I failed to look at reviews for it. After it arrived when I was going to get started with it I read about how difficult it was so I didn't bother to even try to boot it, I just put it aside. Someone else ITT did mention that OpenBSD supports the Pine64 so maybe I'll try and boot my Pine64 with that.
> 5B for 13k employees - that's ~$384,000 in construction costs per head

The building will cater for many more than that number of employees over its lifetime.
Except it makes more sense to depreciate over the useful life of the building (standard: 50 years) which brings you to a more reasonable ~$8k/year/employee cost of building use.
With so many people working there, I'll be like working in a small(-ish) town. I don't know if the article mentioned it or not, but I would expect that a company of that level would provide some perks, like free snacks. To an employee, it would be like a short stroll to grab a bagel, or whatever people in that region like to eat, with the exception of it being free. One could get used to it, I bet...
That sounds like BAD validation that needs fixing, not an excuse not to do any.

Some US sites still won't let me in because (a) they insist that I must have a middle name or (b) screw up the hyphen in my surname.

Many sites and payroll systems assume that everyone has a surname. Never mind its character set and ordering.

Even if you don't make these assumptions you don't need to accept a binary gzipped GB of zeros or worse in a name input field.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but I would go so far as to say that a vast majority of people have coffee (or another source of caffeine) in an attempt to boost their productivity.
My Family’s Slave
I don't see how it would be harder to RE than .NETs IL (which is pretty easy to RE), or even plain old assembly -- which looks horrible, but can be disassembled and even "decompiled" (which generates a potential C source from the disassembled bytecode).
I'm looking at the Tunequest list at http://www.tunequest.org/a-big-list-of-mp3-patents/20070226/, and it looks to me like patents #5,924,060 and #5,703,999 (the last two listed) shouldn't expire for a few months yet. Is that list mistaken?
Note that there is UI for changing them in that "Colors..." section in preferences.
I think VC's should just pull funding from companies that have dog-rain management.

Sort of like the Abhishekh Guttani case. Sites like crunch base should give them a "DO NOT FUND ASSHOLES" stamp.

Pragmatic API Versioning
Has anyone had experience with NativeScript? Currently trying to compare that to React Native for our next project.
Wow the second point, encrypting the files but providing transparent access for a while thereby corrupting even the backups is really scary.

Although maybe this would be detected when your incremental backups start saying that all the files have just changed. Some softwares will require manual action if more than x percent of the corpus needs to be resynched.
The dropdown that's in 53 has been there since Firefox 37.

Before Firefox 37 it was just a "Allow pages to choose their own colors" checkbox (which you could uncheck). _That_ UI goes back to at least Firefox 3.5. Likely earlier (I'm pretty sure it was in 1.0 as well), but I don't have anything older than that on hand at the moment.

On a separate note, I assume your "having sound" thing refers specifically to Linux and even more specifically to Linux systems without PulseAudio, right? Characterizing that as a blanket "dropped support for having sound" is at bit disingenuous.
Excellent points.

To me, the only question is whether Beatty misused his battlecruisers or whether they were fatally flawed to begin with: whether their speed advantage was really worth anything. And whether the result would be a total British victory rather that just a strategic one.

As for the overall point, success breeds overconfidence, which breeds failure, and so on.
I disagree with the part about it achieving the goal of being an encyclopedic source of knowledge. Except it largely comes down to how you define "encyclopedic". I would like it to mean "broad and inclusive", but it often means "highly curated", which tends to translates to "conservative".

I don't think the convergence of the market on this sort of policy provides any indication one way or the other, because of network effects. Both of those sites won their space before the culture we're discussing here became entrenched, and because of network effects, it is not realistic to unseat them.
Because the postwar suburban land use of the surrounding area is designed exclusively around automobiles and makes it nearly impossible and extremely unpleasant to walk for transportation, a prerequisite of functional mass transit.

Silicon Valley has chosen to preserve its form of single-family suburban sprawl forever, at the cost of any human with a reasonable income being able to move there.
This linked article is also interesting since the 100x overdose that almost killed those students was a direct result of a mathematical error, due to a lack of numerical common sense: "The calculation had been done on a mobile phone, with the decimal point in the wrong place". Also, the subjects who received 30g and survived, were intensely treated for the overdose in a hospital, and it sounds like they may have died without immediate professional treatment.
Best of luck. Reddit needs a good kick in the arse. Since shortly before Steve Huffman's (Spez) return, Reddit has adopted a policy of top-down content curation - banning controversial subreddits, changing the voting algorithm to dis-favor /r/the_donald, and most recently introducing /r/popular which is basically /r/all without that pesky /r/the_donald subreddit (ffs just man up and ban the group rather than pretending to support the free exchange of ideas).

Reddit management prefers for their website to only showcase non-controversial content in order to attract advertisers. Which is their right, but I'm rooting for the disruptive upcomer that will kill that website like Reddit originally did to Digg back when Reddit was cool and stood for something.
Hey, the show did a whole scene about taking a dick joke too seriously, I figured a comment doing the same could work. I appear to have been wrong about that! Or, at the very least, I need to work on my delivery.
I think that the people who were smart enough to propose a viable alternative will also be smart and proactive enough to do their best to tweak the numbers.

That being said, your example is excellent and I absolutely agree. There are a good number of people who we the gamers classify as "try-hards" who would still do what you said you wouldn't, because they are like "if I work hard enough I'll get more money than every other loser relying on universal income around me" -- but yes, they are a minority.
The Ghost in the MP3
Well, considering there's a damned army of them, we can just filter them down to the top few (which will be a massive set on America's scale).
I agree with all of this - I have had studies quoted to me by artists about self-proclaimed audiophiles performing worse in a double blind test identifying which was the lossless audio vs. a high bit rate mp3 (256 kbps? I forget). The evidence seemed to suggest quite strongly that humans aren't able to distinguish either.

I would love to have lossless audio purely for storage purposes - however, it would be quite expensive for me to do so with the amount of music I have, as well as time consuming. For me at least, mp3 is the perfect balance, and its ubiquitous compatibility makes it a no brainer.
[1] no true scotsman is exactly what you are doing.
[2] it's nonsense to say "artificial needs are created by culture, of which only a smaller part is marketing," when marketing, consumerism, and commercialism are so thoroughly pervasive in our culture. Hell, even religious holy days have become utterly commercialized. Industrialized people are inundated with advertising.

I think you're absolutely right about "real" marketing, but I think you're giving it too much credit. "unreal" marketing is much more real.
What kind of k-fold cross validation it is? Do you shuffle samples and stratify classes across folds? In my opinion this is important to say. Just saying this is k-fold can be unclear.
There's a separate, fascinating, historical incident that shaped the Royal Navy and by extension world affairs for centuries. The execution of Admiral Byng for "failing to do his utmost" lead to a culture of aggression in the RN. This resulted over the years in many impressive, against the odds, victories such as Pellew's two frigates taking the 74 Droits de l'Homme. It also led to sacrifices such as HMS Glowworm's attack on the Hipper during the Norway campaign in 1940.

The Royal Navy differs from the British Army in taking a more holistic view of traditions and history. Trafalgar is celebrated by all every year, Taranto is celebrated by all aviators every year - rather than only those descended from units involved. This combined with the length of time to draw lessons from has led to the saying "The Navy has traditions, the Army history and the Air Force has habits. And nasty, dirty habits they are too".
Sounded and behaved like the default narrator that comes with Windows. They all tend to rely on the same APIs, though, so what they “see” of the screen or the focused control is very similar.
But Reader Mode is not always available.

I've settled into using the menu option "View..Page Style...No Style" on noisy pages.

Now I need a "No Style" browser that finds the beginning of the narrative automatically.
