Yeah, my biggest complain is that I found out about that with a "24 Hour Server Suspension Warning" rather than with an informative notice mail.
It is so incredibly stupid that some people actually buy such bullshit, that I'm impressed from the makers of this propaganda. I never could assume total idiocy in my fellow human beings, but I stand corrected.

You can call 'runas' via an API at code level that allows you to specify a password. There's quite a few tools out there that do it. I used to host mine on my website but it caused all those website classification systems to classify my domain as 'hacking tools' so I had to remove it. :(

You say "I am on a constrained budget" and then "Budget is not a constraint". Also you ask for "the cheapest Mac Book" and then that you can spend 5000-6000.
I'm absolutely not an "introvert" of any sort, but if you give me something I've never seen and ask me to reason about it, you'd better take a very wide step back, stfu, and wait for 10m - if you're to get any results from my slow brain.
The main point of sudo is that it eliminates the need to enter the password for a while.

This project sounds like a bit of a throw in the dark. Fly drone and drop seeds. But there are challenges; there are still goats around; there is no water outside the rainy season. So at a minimum they'd actually need to plough water retention ditches (swales) and think about fencing. I'm glad to see people trying things and I hope that they realise spectacular results, but they are facing a complex challenge with a drone and a handful of seeds.

I think there is even a biblical story(which makes it a pretty old story) about the bad farmer throwing his wheat seed on the path and on unprepared soil. The story is not directly about wheat, but the point is that the allegory used in the story is/should be common knowledge.

I grew up in a town about 80 kilometers north of London and used to go there pretty frequently, until I moved to Amsterdam last summer, so it was pretty surprising when I opened Facebook yesterday evening and was asked if I was safe from the fire in London.

I think Facebook's Safety Check is a good feature, but the implementation is pretty dreadful.

That has been my experience too. I've setup a small RabbitMQ cluster on kubernetes and it was pretty straightforward. It also comes with a handy web UI which was more than I expected.

The hardest part seems to be answering the "Why isn't X receiving messages from Y?" question. Although it didn't help that I got '*' and '#' switched around in my head (seriously, '#' is the wildcard?!)

Discord is the better app at this point. Even for business use. But Slack from an acquisition POV must be different. They have revenue, traction, and that all important paying subscriber base. It's like everyone has always said. Slack is just a chat app. It's not about the app, but rather, what they achieved with it.

I love discord so much part of me wants Amazon to buy Slack just so it would kill it (or MS or Verizon or anyone who tends to not know what to do with things).
This is why you should take care of your stars well, even if they make weird requests. Konami will probably win the battle, but lose the war for the customer's hearts.

As a Haskell practitioner in industry - for several years we have been creating technical documentation sites for large enterprise customers, providing fast semantic search for gigabytes of content serving millions of users - I can attest that this simply isn't true. We have found that reasoning about performance in a pure functional language is not harder than for any other kind of mainstream language. Except in the sense that it is different, so not all of your skills and intuition from other languages necessarily apply.

I had built something along these lines. Not really encrypting the page. But allowing you to send each other Base64 data: http://cloak.websrvr.in/ .

First off, you're absolutely correct in trying to nail down the requirements before choosing. It sounds like there are a couple related problems that you're trying to solve. 1) You find the database design difficult to understand, 2) you're trying to understand and get sign off on functional requirements and 3) you're trying to write up a design for a technical solution. For 1) see if you can get an ER diagram so you can see the relationships. You may find that additionally you need to document sections of the db schema because you don't understand what certain tables represent. This can be done in a wiki or in the code or both. 2) Can be done using user stories or tickets, but for complex work it's best to write up a business requirements document containing the functional requirements (what needs to be done, not how to do it). There are templates and examples readily available, just adjust for the level of detail you need. This is what your boss should be signing off on. 3) You can probably avoid creating technical specs at the moment. Their target audience are developers and these specify the solution design. Unless you have a real need to choose one solution over another, it's often best to let the developer working on the problem to choose their own solution.

I actually found the RabbitMQ tutorial docs[1] to be an excellent introduction to the concepts, some of the best I've seen. Half an hour to an hour of reading and I had a decent grasp of what was going on. I think it would be overkill for a single application, but with multiple applications it provides some useful concepts and features. It also comes with a web UI which can be handy.

Maybe I need to make some background assumptions more explicit. Have you heard of reference class forecasting [1]? The "outside view" of historical results of similar activity is significantly more effective in predicting the results of your actions compared to using the "inside view" of analyzing the details of your plan. Everyone who chooses to buy and sell individual stocks does so because they think it's better than their other choices, so the proper reference class, by default, is "active investors as a whole". The average result of active investors as a whole is the overall movement of the market. Since that's what I expect any stock-picking scheme to yield, I might as well pick the least risky and lowest cost system for it.

Efficient market hypothesis has nothing to do with my opinions here. Whether or not it's possible to beat the market has nothing to do with it either. It's simple averaging - I expect than if I pick individual stocks, I'll get an average result for stock pickers as a group, and that average result is the same as the market as a whole.

Want to know my investment strategy? It's taking every dollar from working that's in excess of my expense budget, immediately putting it long a total stock market index, and sitting on it for about two decades. I don't look at the news, I barely look at the index price, and I'll continue doing this if I lose half my money over the next year. I'll get as good of an expected return, except paying less money in fees and leaving my deferred capital gains invested.

It makes sense to sell if Slack will have more value as part of a larger company, compared to being by itself. Acquisition typically makes it easier to integrate into that company's offerings, at the expense of making it harder to maintain all of the independent integrations that were in Slack's interest when it was independent.

It makes a lot of sense for Amazon to offer some kind of managed corporate communications platform to customers who are already heavily invested in AWS, but in the long term, it would probably hurt Slack's core integration strengths.

What would probably be best for Slack is to build out an on-premises enterprise version, which could then be deployed on your cloud of choice. It gets Slack most of the benefits of acquisition by a cloud provider, without the downsides.

Dubious sources, to say the least. This dumb conversation pops up every single time the Japanese criminal justice system comes up, and no one has a decent source--say for example, something in Japanese. First of all, the conviction rate in the US is 85+% last time I checked. Secondly, Japanese suspects confess. The theory is that they're coerced, but that requires one to accept a lot of speculation about the psychological impact of prolonged interrogations. Finally, the police in Japan are essentially invisible, so you need to be suspicious to even be on their radar. If you attract that kind of attention, you don't belong here, and they're going to let you know. It may not be what you want to hear, but that's just how it works here. It's the same everywhere else. In America, you can drive a BMW with New York plates from New Orleans to Los Angeles, and if you get pulled over, good luck to you.
In the last couple of weeks, I have been notified on Facebook by friends about:

- An abduction that involved the dad taking the kids against the mother's will for a few days -- three states away

- A triple murder-suicide -- 300 miles away

- A woman arrested for being cruel to her animals, complete with pictures -- in a city 150 miles away

And this is with my blocks as high as I can make them.

I am constantly being bombarded by news that affects a very small segment of the population in communities far distant from the one I live in.

This does not provide any sort of public service to me. Emotional-laden content such as this and the "I'm safe" buttons exist for Facebook's purposes far, far more than they do for the user's purposes.

This is the way of the new PC crowd: do something that benefits you but can be spun as a kindness to the community. Then shout down anybody who points out that you're only acting in your self interest.

I do not doubt that this has a benefit for that small number of people actually trapped in a large-scale natural disaster (Although I would wonder what, exactly, in a world of billions of people constitutes "large scale"?) But if you waste five minutes of ten million people's lives with a notification like this? That's 5 minutes X 10 million = more than 2,200 man-years. It's the equivalent of 30 people's lives simply to make a few people feel better. In addition, because of the numbers involved, overall it actually creates much more stress than it reduces. There is a not-insignificant healthcare cost associated with things like this.

The old-time capitalist pigs were easy to understand: they made stuff in order to make money. The new guys on the block are full of a lot more bullshit than the older guys -- and people who aren't paying attention are easily suckered into the schpiel and the concomitant pathos.

I'm sure most entrepreneur types run off the "thrill of the chase", and a big exit would momentarily dilute the initial mission. But you are waayyy overstating that effect.

Given that the difference between any 2 ML implementations is going to be 2 things, everything else is going to be eliminated by a hyperparameter search. Neither of these require more than basic mathematical knowledge. Certainly nothing that wouldn't be covered in an undergraduate statistics course.

And of course, it's loads and loads of work.

What makes the difference in success for machine learning projects (this is assuming you have some process to avoid screwups in place):

1) quality of how the data is input into the network. You can almost never "usefully" put raw data in front of a neural network. Call it "data represantation" (for instance, for comparing stock prices do a neural net DNN predictor on the prices. Now do the same on the deltas (today - yesterday). Works 1000x better (still not good enough, but very clear difference))

It may not compare to the feature engineering of SVMs, but it's very present (it kinda does imho, but people tend to get very defensive when suggesting that)

2) your cost/loss function. There are tricks like GANs which are simple in concept and avoid some of the issues, but even there you have your image comparator you're still going to need. You can massively improve image comparisons (e.g. mean square difference of the image scaled 4x4, times 1e12, plus same for 16x16 times 1e6, plus mean square difference at real res beats the crap out of just taking mean square difference. Very good results have also been obtained for MNIST by comparing sorted lists of black pixels, instead of actual images)

Many things depend on your cost/loss function, and you especially have the eternal problem : I want it to improve in 10 different ways. How do I balance those well into a single number ? Robot should grab the teddy bear, and shouldn't hit anything else. Those are easy to balance, but how would you balance grabbing the teddy bear at all versus not damaging it ? It will make a huge difference in whether your neural net converges at all.
