That's why almost all IDEs have "renaming" a class as a feature.

I'd say roll with whatever name comes first, as you can always change it later. Dwelling too much with it can be a sign of perfectionism.... or procrastination, or ADD.... or just in-experience.

As I got older and had more experience "naming" things stopped being a problem, as I always knew I could change things later on, and trying to be perfect on first shot is futile.

Thinking of programming as an essay that will need some editing/revisions when done, helps a lot.
It's really hard to exaggerate the quality of the opus codec.

It's just amazing.

You can throw anything at it. No matter the sample rate and the bitrate and the output has good quality without any of that narrowband, wideband, ultra-wideband speex nonsense.

All that is missing is an "hybrid" mode just like wavpack that produces combined output of roughly the same size as flac.
Imgur has a ton of flaws, my gripe with reddit is the admins; as a mod of a controversial /r/ - I just don't trust their ability to be for free speech...
See the thread above. Short answer: yes.
It amounts to the same thing. "What you like" is part of "who you are" (a.k.a. "yourself"); and "learning to treat as authoritative" those opinions is roughly what's meant by "finding." That is, nobody has to literally find himself; finding yourself is learning to pay attention to what's within, what you actually care about/think/like, in preference to all the concerns/ideas/opinions coming at you from without.
There are a fair number of sites with broken regexes/validations that reject emails with +s in them.

Agreed. "Safe" is not accurate; this is just the best of many bad options, and is what should happen if the car decides for any other reason that it is not auto-drivable.

I'm not steeped in functional programming, but isn't anonymity the least interesting part compared to being first class and forming closures?
And then, car makers will try to detect these tests and make their cars more cautios if in such a situation. Its probably going to be great for training but testing should be run in the real world, could finally also reintroduce realistic benchmarks for mpg and other running costs.

Well, the parent commenter was talking of the RPi3. Android Things doesn't support the Raspberry Pi Zero W.

In the context of my comment, of going to production, the Pi Zero W has the problem of availability / supply chain. So if you plan to manufacture a lot of devices, not only are they hard to get, you get low-volume pricing instead of discounted.
Nice! How much of this made it back into Jupyter proper? I'm always interested in the "rubber meets the road" aspects of commercialized open source development.

Gas Buddy guy makes total sense. I don't mind stopping, it only takes 20 minutes, and the smell doesn't bother me at all.
Plus: it looks nice, has a headphone jack, and offers a 128GB with 8GB RAM option.

Minus: camera that should be much better, no SDCARD... and (IMHO) worse of all: NO REMOVABLE BATTERY %@$#

What's really annoys me is that - so far - the reviews I seen even don't even mention the battery is non-removable.

Sigh.

So I take it we've now just given up and have lost that battle. I had really hoped the Samsung issue would have reset this debate.

This seems like it's almost "1Password for Email Addresses," which would be pretty great: go to site, hit key combination, have random/saved email inserted into login boxes. Combining that with email forwarding to my real email address that I can turn on and off is pretty powerful.
Let's forget the monthly musk talks of self driving cars or Tesla claims of "fully self driving hardware". Let's assume that Tesla didn't even have the misleading name of autopilot and merely advertised the assistive technology separately.

Would you be fine if a car with collision avoidance ran full speed into a collision? Would you be fine with a company selling an incapable system as a safety feature and face no responsibility because they mentioned somewhere that the system can fail?
I have also observed emails tagged with "+" to break unsubscribe links in cases where the address is included in the link and the link is not properly URL-encoded.
I work in the field and anybody that says that a piece of software is secure before it has even had a security evaluation by a third party does not know what they are talking about.

I think what you have seen is security people saying that the design of Wireguard seems to be equal or better than other, current, options, that doesn't mean that the implementation is just yet.
ProtonMail has pretty much stagnated and flat out refuses to cooperate with the community to implement new features of the OpenPGP email standards. Their Reddit guy is also pretty terrible, he pretty much insulted me in a comment after I criticized them.
I get where bitL is coming from.

I was just thinking about a compromise model: what if a retailer would deal with the send/return cost once as a bit of configuration and customer acquisition cost and profile the choices to a standard type of fit. Then from that point on you could shop just for the type of clothing that will fit you well, and would only be able to return if you could show that it wasn't the case.

It obviously wouldn't work with standard brands of clothing since the fit there can be so variable, but if they clothing would be engineered for this I could see it working. It would be an interesting trade off for customers to consider. In the end you get lower prices, unless the real standardization is too costly.

Seems like something lots of people would go for. It seems like more and more people are aware of all the things that are priced into goods, like the cost of physical shops or the cost of shipping/returns for online retailers.
Interesting, I usually give my class a slightly stupid name and figure out a better one once some or all of the behavior is in place.
This is a dangerous misconception. Bringing botulism spores to 100 Celsius will not kill them, the spores can survive indefinitely at these temperatures. This is literally the reason pressure canning was invented, to heat the liquid to a higher temperature such that botulism spores are destroyed.
To be fair, this applies to vi/vim as well.

I hear it all the time. People saying things like "I use vi/vim instead of an IDE because I can do X" where X is a feature that every IDE worth using has had for 10 years.

I've literally had someone say that they use vi/vim because it does syntax highlighting. What were they using before? Notepad? gedit? Even gedit has syntax highlighting.

"Oh, I use this magical vim plugin that lets me hit this magical key combination and all my code gets automatically formatted." Yeah, but Visual Studio, PyCharm, Eclipse, and basically any other IDE do that out of the box. No plugins necessary.

I don't think I've ever seen someone describe a feature that vi/vim/emacs has that an IDE doesn't (EDIT: Other than the fact that every *nix system is going to have vi, but that's just an argument for knowing how to use it, not one for preferring it over an IDE if one is available). It's like iPhone versus Android about five years ago, where the iPhone fanboys/girls would praise Apple for their innovation for implementing features Android had over a year prior.
Every Brother and Sister…EVER
Hi, we are an energy company working on load shifting of EV charging. The customer will just set some preferences- the charging timing is then fully automated to shift load and smooth demand peaks. Pretty sure most modern demand response systems work this way.
As stated in the article, they need to reach 11 billion miles to get the confidence level they are looking for. So extrapolating this, it would take 5500 cars a decade of round the clock testing to actually meet the guarantees they need (90% safer than human driven at a 80% confidence level). You still could do it in parallel; it'd just require a lot of test cars.

One part that is unclear is that the 11 billion mile requirement doesn't specify urban conditions and the 2 million mile per decade estimate does. So there might be some errors there.
Lets pass on the issue of memorizing the training data. The article also says the test is designed

"to consider human drivers the major threat"

I'm thinking that degenerate driverless-algorithm behaviors will be even more problematic. Imaging an imminent head-on collision between two driverless cars. They could play 'dance with me', each dodging to the right or left only to see the other car do the same. In a few milliseconds they could lose the opportunity to avoid the accident.

With a human driver and their limited response time, the other car is actually more predictable and interactions easier to manage.
Actually, I think the slide mangled the quote - I've often seen "off by one error" as the punchline, and found at least one post going back to 2010 with that variation: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/TwoHardThings.html
Because minimum wage is a form of direct payment that is not antithetical to certain political persuasions and direct payment subsidies tend to be more efficient than other forms of governmental social welfare?

(Note: I don't feel qualified to argue this point but its the common response and there is lots of evidence of improved social welfare in places with higher minimum wages)
Yes, but no one but you is saying nothing can exist that wasn't made; that's a statement of faith, not one based on evidence. We already know it's factually wrong, quantum mechanics has already shown particles spring into and out of existence randomly.

Beyond that, you can't claim special pleading on my part and still argue it's OK for God to exist without being made, that's special pleading. All special pleading is fallacious. None of my statements are special pleading, I haven't claimed nothing can exist without being made. That's one of your premises, not one from the science argument.

> If one says "the universe just is" one cannot claim logical superiority to the statement "(E) just is".

Yes one can for one simple reason, the universe's existence is not in question, therefore stating that it just is is logically superior to stating that E just is as E, i.e. God, is not known to exist and thus that statement is begging the question.

More simply put, you can't prove God exists with math, math doesn't always map to reality. Existence requires evidence in science, math never serves as proof of physics absent physical evidence, it can only serve as a guide in looking for corroborating evidence.

Ultimately however, the main point I'm making is that your logical analysis is fallacious, it boils down to nothing more than special pleading and the baseless presumption that things require a creator.

I know what a Hilbert space is, and I also know that this 2^n-dimensional space cannot be accessed except through a destructive measurement operation. An exponential state space does not imply that there is exponential computing power to be harnessed there.

As an analogy, when you execute a randomized classical algorithm, the size of the state space in which the bits live is also exponential (and at the end you observe the result, and your uncertainty collapses from a probability distribution to one of its possible outcomes). Yet you would look at me like I'm crazy (or a fraud) if I claimed that randomized algorithms have exponentially more computing power than deterministic ones.

The only way in which the quantum case differs from the classical picture above, is that amplitudes have a phase and can thus interfere (constructively or destructively). The art of creating quantum algorithm lies entirely in orchestrating favorable interference patterns.
This is a great idea for both people looking to promote their startups and people running newsletters. I'll be trying it out from both angles to promote my startup[0] and my Email Marketing Weekly newsletter[1].

What is the cost of time-shifting usage versus paying peak pricing versus buying some storage to charge at lower rates? At the industrial scale this becomes a game of capital expenditures versus cash flow. At the consumer scale it's a game of convenience and cost. If energy can be made cheaper at the cost of informational overhead (or less convenience), then what is the role of storage (as it itself becomes cheaper) in managing that overhead? It doesn't seem far fetched that it will play a role.

Also, at some point, can I get a discounted rate on my hyperloop ticket if I sell it energy during peak demand at an under-market rate?
There Is No Design Metric
Fine, assuming that the accountability overhead is 10% over the cost of actually doing the job and maintaining the facilities, so get a $4000 voucher.
I loath reddits image hosting. They should have bought imgur.
Mobile use, for one.
This seems like a dubious claim to me. If you want other examples of languages where words aren't built from meaningless atoms, look at early writing - the word for 'tree' is a crummy picture of a tree, etc.

Later on, writing developed into either using meaningless signs to represent sounds, and stringing those together (as in the case of what you're reading now), or using signs to represent fragments of meaning which are combined to form complete concepts (at least, that's how i understand Han ideograms). Rather like the business with the slide whistle.

How is recruiters persuing professionals for their skills different from stalkers persuing their targets for their looks?

But let's ignore the analogy for a moment. If someone is annoyed by something, it is not less genuine because others would not be annoyed by it.

It patently obvious that liking spaces or tabs better won't change your salary.

But it's also an incredibly clear correlation. It must be caused by something (because it's too clear to appear by chance, and too stable on sub-populations). It may be very interesting to find that cause.
It was a problem. All the old image host sucked a lot.
Tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment. That's the only acceptable mixing.

It works because it allows everyone to configure their code editor to have tabs be whatever width they want without messing up how it looks for other people.

But it's futile. Unless there's a git hook setup or you're using Python 3 which throws errors when tabs and spaces are both used for indentation, you're gonna end up with source files with both being used.

You seem to be confusing the idea of the brain storing information in long term memory with the brain receiving information.

Not all information processed is stored.

If the brain didn't receive hundreds of megabits of information per second, nobody would be able to tell the difference between SD and HD video.
>it might be time for space satellite hosting companies.

Uhm that would probably backfire and make you an open target for every security service on the planet.

German BND did bulk-collection on satellite communications, even tho German law does not allow for something like that. So BND reasoned "Satellites are in space, German Grundgesetz does not apply in space!", dubbing it the "Weltraumtheorie" (Spacetheory)

It seems reasonable, considering anyone working on it enough to need to recompile would have a minimum change time correlated with compilation time. (Incremental compilation aside)
I can't stand code in a proportional font. I like aligning code and having the alignment be maintained, regardless of the specific font in use. Things tend to also be more smooshed-together and hard to read individual characters when using proportional fonts, since every character's width varies, instead of matching the widest character.

Aside from that, in the stylistic sense, it's like reading a newspaper article in cursive or an academic paper in comic sans.

Those are the things that struck me when I've pasted code into an editor with proportional fonts, anyhow.
Fascinating stuff. Will be interesting to watch
- JuliaPro is free, but the paid version comes with support and integration with Excel and JuliaRun (possibly more features in future).

- JuliaRun is for easily scalable deployment of code, either for cloud or local servers.

- JuliaBox is as you say, available here https://juliabox.com/

- JuliaFin is completely separate, and currently consists of Bloomberg integration and the Miletus contract specification and pricing package.

Thank you for pointing that out, I should have set out my qualifiers, it is definitely not for everyone nor every use case. I favor the extremely stable properties and far lower environmental impact over XPS. For my specific use case, I want an application where the lifetime of the building is measured in >100 years, without having to go in and replace the insulation during that period, and without significant deterioration from the ocassional penetration of water or dampness. I wanted the natural flame retardant properties without doping in chemicals that have to be extracted out later with solvents (yielding its own set of recovery, recycling and disposal challenges) during recycling like we currently have to employ with recycling XPS (if the recycling facility extracts it out at all). I really like the concept of building this insulation once, and being able to re-use it indefinitely until it is physically compromised, capturing the embedded energy to make the insulation in a one-and-done cycle.

I'm not a huge fan of plastics or styrofoams outside of very well-contained use cases since its breakdown in the outside into extremely small pellets is already easily detectable in our seawater-based salt supplies, and unabated, I'm not sanguine about our keeping it from pervasively entering our food supply. The actual plastic itself I'm not too happy about mainly because it represents energy waste to me, and at least those types that have phytoestrogenic effects are still debatable. The doped compounds attached to those plastics however, I'm not terribly enthusiastic about that stuff leaching out into our environment and letting the sun and weather eventually breaking them down before they materially damage our bodies.

It was always kind of a weird thing. For reasons mysterious at the time, reddit suspended lots of the self-promotion rules around imgur which in turn allowed it to grow quite rapidly. I had a friend who actually tried to start another symbiotic for reddit startup at a similar time and reddit admins decided to enforce the no self-promotion rules on him even while letting imgur run free. It was very frustrating for him, fortunately he didn't go in for lots of money on it and was able to shut it down pretty quickly when it was clear reddit wasn't playing fair.

A lingering question at that time was how imgur was paying their obviously enormous bandwidth bills, but /u/mrgrimm was always very vague about the source of his funding.

Long story short, it turns out that reddit had made an investment in imgur at one point while earlier funding was never made public. So reddit was banking on imgur being successful but never made that relationship explicitly public.

There were other weird relationship oddities too, e.g. imgur used to not allow pornography to be uploaded and linked to, except when the referrer came from reddit.com. (if you look up info on imgur and referrer tag weirdness, it's a common pattern)

After imgur started jumping the shark and reddit's entire executive team turned over, they decided to do their own image hosting service. But now they had a well funded plan-b to fall back on if their own hosting service didn't work out.

Imgur has always been very vague and shady about funding, revenue, growth plans. It's assumed that they just wanted to be a non-suck

touché, but my comment was precipitated not by any particular practicalities but by the article's text: "Sites hosted by corporations tend to die with their hosts.... Twitter is a rare case: it has arranged to archive all of its tweets at the Library of Congress."
Quote:

"Mushfake" is a very interesting word. It seems to have first appeared in underworld slang back in the early 19th century in England. "Mush" by itself was, in that period, slang for an umbrella, from its similarity in shape to a mushroom. The verb "to fake" during the same period was criminal slang for "putting something in shape to sell by covering its defects." So a "mushroom faker" or "mushfake" was a con artist who repaired discarded umbrellas just enough to make them briefly functional and then sold them on the street, preferably during a downpour.
