(The national post had a great series of articles about it. The Canadian newspaper sided with Trump against Canada's diary industry.)

Btw, Milk costs double in Canada than in the states. Tastes better though (well sour cream and yoghurt do. I hate milk). On the other hand cheese is much better in the states cause I can afford the European stuff here (100% import tarriff???) and there is more diversity in aisles.

As to the hormone part of my OP, no claim, at least no strong claim, was made. I just pointed out that, if your production is restricted, it doesn't make sense to pump your cows full of hormones.
I wouldn't mind. But it doesn't work that way, look:

How did “tech-supportcenter” phishers trick Google?
I actually strongly agree with him, In fact the progress in Deep Learning has stalled due to inefficiencies in sharing data and code between researchers. Today to replicate a study you have to spend several days downloading data, making sure all dependencies are installed etc. This is worsened by lack of standard formats for even simple things such as representing 2D bounding box on an image.

People forget that the reason Deep Learning came to prominence was engineering that enabled use of GPU's (Thanks to Alex K.) and large dataset from ImageNet competition (Thanks to Fei-Fei Li).

Importance of software engineering in moving the field forward is often under-appreciated. This blogpost beautifully illustrates several instances where a great implementation made it easier for researcher to speed up experimentation and lead to breakthroughs in Computer Vision. [1]

I believe it should be easy to integrate this into xmonad by creating a few functions for that, which is the real beauty of it. The xmonad-contrib package [1] is a collection of such extensions, this one could very much join them.

Well... It depends...
I pulled down this package. It is just a package.json file.
Some of them seem to have some rules [1] like:

> Please don't implement your own custom "arena" or "memory pool" or "free list" - they will not be accepted.

> ...

> We ask that contributed programs not only give the correct result, but also use the same algorithm to calculate that result.

So there might not be too much room to improve. There could be some room to improve for things like "custom ... memory pool" since .NET Core has ArrayPool [2] built-in. But I can't tell if the spirit of that rule is "don't implement pooling" vs. "you can only allocate memory in the standard ways provided by the runtime."

In other words, it's pointless as well.

What's predictable is intrinsically uninteresting. The OP partly redeems itself by offering concrete ideas, though, which gives the article a bit more substance than usual.
So don't pay for it :) The free version works flawlessly, forever.
One advantage of the FPGA is that you can reprogram it to do something else after you're bored with it acting as a C64, assuming in this case that you are able to desolder it. Also might only make sense to reuse the FPGA if it is sufficiently expensive. Another advantage of using an FPGA is that if you make a mistake in your design you can easily correct the error at any stage and resynthesize it.
Yes, that was the point. And being an American citizen tells you more about his philosophy, as most American physicists would not have been allowed to write such a letter in 1944.
I find these images fascinating, specially the parts were the textures blend with the faces. It feels like we are watching the world through another mind, so to speak.
I spend about 8 months of the year teaching pandas to journalism students, and it's a wild ride! Despite some of the iffy syntax and pandas' seeming inability to standardize parameter names, the students seem to grok the workflow much more quickly than wrangling lists and dictionaries in the "normal" world of Python.

I know everyone loves the reproducibility Notebooks supposedly bring to the table, but without a doubt my favorite part is the ability to export super-unattractive matplotlib charts as PDF, clean them up in Illustrator, and suddenly find yourself with publication-quality graphics. Knowing you're producing something more than just some numbers to toss in a story can be a strong sell to a lot of folks.
This is a pretty cool idea that would really help make use of huge monitors, without the hassle of dual monitors.

How much would would it be to let the user custom define their grid? Ie, it's 4 * 3 by default, could we have 3 * 2 for laptop users?, or 4 * 2 for monitors turned sideways?
No split screen on the phones (unless perhaps the plus size allows it, but I don't think so).
Granted, but as WW2 demonstrated, there are industrial learning curves and economies of scale that can take you from months per ship to ships per month.

Not a perfect analogy in the details, but I think reasonable in the dynamics.
There is this article[0] from 21 hours ago that mentions that children should eat an egg a day to grow taller. Childrens height has surely been a popular topic the last 24 hours.

I think the Wired article misses the bigger picture. As you mentioned, the industry of providing network access is one with huge economies of scale. The result (if left unregulated) is always a monopoly or an oligopoly - with certain regions belonging to certain providers. Introducing a new competitor is very, very difficult in such a market, regardless of regulations and lowering prices for right of way. Google learned this the hard way - they have stopped their expansion back in 2016. As a government you can either heavily regulate such markets to make sure the consumers get a fair deal (which is what net neutrality is about) or you can turn it into a public service, ie. allow municipalities to provide internet access (what your third article alludes to).

FPGA: low tooling cost, higher unit cost

ASIC: high tooling cost, lower unit cost

An FPGA conversion ASIC would be $35,000+ NRE, and that's pretty cheap. An FPGA is what, under $100 these days? The reason ASICs are cheap is because you sell thousands or millions of units to amortize the NRE cost.
Thank you so much! I may well apply in a year or two, after doing more ML work and talking my way into sabbatical time. :-)
I am sure that the small triangle indicator comes up for a few seconds occasionally (I notice once in a couple of days) despite every single system service and app location permission being "off", and that the "time setting" is listed as "having used location services in the last 24 hours" (the indicator is never there long enough for me to get a "using it now" reading).

When the entire "location service" is off, it does not happen (it might use the services for all I know, but the indicator doesn't light up)
Coolness---thanks!
It's kind of shocking that you can't "see" any difference between a picture and looking with your eyes.

Also disappointing that you're (perhaps willfully) ignoring the many reasons why photography is banned/strongly discouraged in some public places.
Absolutely. I'm running into this problem constantly in the front-end dev world. Most developers I talk to are way too eager to list off a million cool techs that they're familiar with, most of which are completely inappropriate for the job at hand.

If I'm interviewing a candidate, I'm not interested in which tools they know how to use. I'm interested in whether they understand the problem those tools solve and when to apply them. Over-engineering is problem #1 with the community at large in front-end dev at the moment and you'll go a long way as an engineering team if you make it your priority to defeat that mentality.
Have you ever eaten in a Chinese vegetarian restaurant? They usually have fake meat of every kind, and they do call some kinds of it 'beef'.
That is me. I haven't seen much development effort since I switched to Rust. But ... I would still mentor someone who wanted to work on it or do something with it.
The ones I've seen so far have either four or five slots. The lane allocation isn't set in stone; I've seen a few that have 3-x16, 1-x1, and 3-x4 (M2) [1] but I've also seen one that has 4-x16, 1-x1, and 2-x4 (M2) [2]. I assume those motherboards are using PCIe switches, but there are plenty of configurations that wouldn't require the switch.

I think similar surveys like cheaper healthcare, healthier food, lesser college tuitions, better salaries and lower rents will also get similar support from both parties. Everyone like good stuff for them and bad effects can be pushed to other people/state/country and so on.

Information theory aside, I don't agree. Observing repeated patterns of failure and error is very instructive, especially since restatements often help me see it in a better light.

If anything, HN trends heavily towards repetitions of survivor bias. Much more fun to read cool papers and imagine yourself implementing them. But the fellow on the chariot with the red-painted face still needs an attendant whispering "remember, thou art mortal" over and over.
I believe that’s a short-sighted view. The past year or so, the Safari/WebKit teams have been killin’ it. I use Mobile Safari a lot each day and I can tell you it’s not handicapped.

This compensation scheme will just select for employees that aren't bought into the future of the company.
This would likely be largely dependent on your birthdate. At various eras, the structure of NBA contracts and the collective bargaining agreement would have a large impact on your expected earnings. There's a window of time in which virtually anyone seven feet or over who could walk and chew bubblegum at the same time could have a very high chance of earning serious money as an NBA center, even with minimal skills[1]. If you came of age in the salad days of ridiculous rookie contracts, after the NBA had exploded in popularity and TV and advertising money ballooned salaries, and the newer, cheaper, rookie contract scales had yet to come into effect, this very well could be valid tradeoff.

I think people like their privacy too much for that, as efficient as it may be. It seems more likely to me that private (or public single-occupant) autonomous cars will become smaller. Something like a Smart car size autonomous EV -- small enough to minimize costs, large enough to be useful for the single rider.
They did not just say, hey this steam thing sucks, let's do something different. While a mature technology it has its issues. The routing of the steam pipes and battle damage issues, the fact that it cannot be tuned exactly based on weight load, etc. They had a reason beyond steam sucks. It will get worked out.
So I'm reading through FCC 15-24 A-16, and I don't see language that supports what you're saying. Their definition of throttling is effectively banning any kind of prioritization. The fact that blocking P2P file sharing is the biggest of the few examples of violating this principle that seem to be out there is not doing much to assuage my concern about deprioritizing traffic that has a tendency to hog resources.

P.S. I've also confirmed that my contract with my ISP is loaded with caveats about things that may limit my uplink speed, and it sounds to me like my whole neighborhood going to town on P2P file sharing can interfere with that and I can't hold them to it.
Why do you think ancient people should have been equally concerned with pigs eating people poop, other animals eating herbivore poop, and unmeasurable quantities of poop, etc. in drinking water? Both of us know, and probably ancient Middle-Eastern people knew, that eating people poop and fertilizing plants with herbivore poop are not really comparable. Washing with homeopathically contaminated water probably did make them cleaner physically, to say nothing of ceremonial cleanliness.

Maybe it isn't the "contagion heuristic", just an attempt at finding a reasonable threshold for the time. This comment seems to be mocking the dumbest possible interpretation of kosher/halal solely for the sake of sounding clever.

I just saw the National Weather Service offers new API info. I have no idea whether this meets your need: https://forecast-v3.weather.gov/documentation?redirect=legac...
If remarking on your privilege constitutes an attack, then so be it. It felt necessary because of the desperate need that exists in the community, which your comment seemed not to recognise in the slightest. Globally, there is a suicide death every 40 seconds; the vast majority of those people were mentally ill but had received no treatment whatsoever. Suicide rates have spiked dramatically in many demographics since the great recession, with the greatest impact being felt in deprived communities.

Psychiatric hospitals across the developed world are discharging actively suicidal patients on a daily basis, because they're marginally less suicidal than the dozens of people who are waiting for a bed. Beyond suicide, there are vast increases in drug and alcohol related deaths in impoverished communities. We're in the midst of a mental health emergency and need all the help we can get.

You're speculating about whether an app might hypothetically dissuade people from seeking better treatment at some point in the distant future. I think my response is downright charitable.

Consider another hypothetical scenario. A great famine has struck. Someone is dying every 40 seconds. The UN start helicoptering in bulk quantities of freeze-dried rations. I remark that there is a great danger in providing food aid, because it might dissuade people from eating a balanced diet of fresh fruit and vegetables. What response would I expect?

Qu'ils mangent de la brioche.
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'm starting to ignore companies that even bring up equity early on in the process, or flat-out state that it's calculated into the compensation package.

If I want to play the lottery, then I'll choose to do it with small bills on a lark. Not gamble with a substantial portion of my regular income.

If I can't clearly evaluate the total compensation package I'm getting, I will assume you are trying to screw me, and I'll probably walk away because of what that says about your management and culture.

In my opinion, the value of the equity you're offering me is zero until proven otherwise. And it's not my job to prove otherwise. It's yours. Your exciting workplace, free beer, ping-pong tables, and gluten-free vegan breakfast/lunch options are all as meaningless as your equity is.

The same thing goes for cutting-edge technologies (resume-driven development), and at this point, I'm starting to feel the same way about religious devotion to Agile.

All 3 of those things are red flags to me when I see them talked about in job postings. At the risk of sounding like I was born in the 70s (I was), I'd like to think that it's still possible to find a job in this field where you pay me a decent salary for good, solid work, and then you get the fuck out of my way so that I can do it.

In fact, I know these jobs are everywhere. They aren't sexy, they don't get talked about in the press, and they are usually not primarily technology companies. They are in-house teams where the client is the company, and the product is anything technology can improve so that the company can function better.

You're not going to get rich overnight. But many of these jobs offer a lot of autonomy and flexibility (within reason) to explore new things at a reasonable pace, a good quality of life, a decent wage, and a chance at retirement at an okay time.

I know this is Hacker News and the audience is mainly geared towards exciting new startups, but I want to give a shout out to the thousands of companies in the U.S. who don't try to cloud your head with delusions of getting rich quickly, don't give a shit about the latest js framework, don't bog you down with daily rituals, and just let you focus on solving problems with solid solutions and respectable code.

Perhaps I'm very much in the minority here, but I'm glad to have a place at a company that does what I think is meaningful and positive work in the world, pays me a solid 6 figures, and mostly lets our team do what we think is best, so long as it accomplishes the things we promise to deliver. Equity was never talked about. There was no discussion of perks of any kind. They told me what their problems were and interviewed me to see if I could help fix them. Then they told me what I would be paid and what the benefits are. They don't need to worry about me leaving for something hotter or sexier or more exciting. The only thing that would make me leave is if there were some drastic change in management that suddenly made my life miserable.
You can choose to play politics, but nothing says you have to. I think we've done it too much already. If you have to sacrifice most of what you care about to win, you lose yourself, and that is heart breaking.
So now they'll start supporting Opus at last, or they'll find another excuse not to support free codecs? Once they'll support it, AAC can be thrown out in the garbage.

Great, an organization that's rich enough to waste money on piles of BS research and toys gets a pledge of money instead of a cash-strapped one with bright people that have lots of potential they can't act on.
This is gaining popularity in bioinformatics too.

When you sequence a genome with a sequencing machine in tiny pieces you get the same piece several times, it's not even coverage, some pieces show up a lot, some pieces show up rarely so that you have to sequence the genome several times, so to speak (30 to 80 times is the norm).

A lot of that data is redundant to get to those rare pieces, so 'data sketching' is getting more popular.

Examples:

- The Abyss genome assembler has (experimentally) a Bloom filter to decrease memory requirements and run time at the expense of accuracy and having to fiddle with the Bloom filter parameters. The paper assembles a genome using 35GB o RAM instead of a few hundred GB.

- The khmer package contains many functions to downsample sequencing runs using, again, Bloom filters. It also has a HyperLogLog implementation to quickly count k-mers (similar to n-grams, but with ATGC instead of words)

- MinHash sketching is a popular first step in aligning messy PacBio reads (implemented for example in the Canu assembler). People also use this to map population structure using sequencing reads directly, and to quickly assign a taxon to the data of an unknown species.

- There are some approaches with the Oxford Nanopore sequencer (that tiny thing you can hook up to your laptop) where you stream the incoming data directly into the assembler or other program and tell the sequencer to stop sequencing once you found what you're looking for, or your coverage is high enough

Etc. pp. It's a goldmine for fast algorithms, I haven't seen people use a Cuckoo filter, for example
I understand that ground troops love the power of the A-10, basically the "tank of the skies". Not sure why we can't have classes of distinct planes now like bomber, fighter, ground-support, and reconnaissance. Pick 1 area and be the best possible plane at doing that. The jack of all trades plane seems to perform poorly at all those things.
You said impossible. I don't even need to come up with something clever here.
