That, I believe, was the foundation of @gbc0's point.

And on that basis I'm inclined to agree - why download, install and run for every user a set of tools that could as easily be installed the first time they are accessed?
I would recommend that you extend `package.loaders` instead. You risk breaking expected `require` functionality. Then you get the benefits of both!!

This is true, but only in the academic research world. SVMs had relatively little success on practical problems and in industry, so they never built up the kind of standing that neural networks did. Even in 2003-2005 - arguably the peak time for SVMs - neural networks were much better known to almost everyone (industry practitioners, researchers, and laypeople) than SVMs.

What frustrates me is that people who are starting out in machine learning often never learn that linear/logistic regression dominates the practical applications of ML. I've spoken to people who know the in-and-outs of various deep network architectures who don't even know how to start with building a baseline logistic regression model.

That's the great thing about poker; you don't have to be better than the house's odds which are fixed against you anyway: you only have to be better than the other players. I used to regularly fund trips to Vegas playing small stakes tournaments against people who had watched one too many WSOP events on TV. Then I'd lose or barely place in the money playing medium stakes tournaments with all the locals and the grinders. It is possible to find your level and profit from playing those slightly below it. But after a while it's indistinguishable from a 9-5 job, so you really have to love it.

> why American math curriculum is significantly easier than those in East Asia and Russia?

I see three reasons.

1. In the US, no child can be left behind. The only way to do it is to lower the plank for everyone.

2. Over-reliance on standardized testing, judging students and teachers by scores alone. Knowing how and when to intelligently guess on multiple choice questions is rewarded, while ability to communicate well during oral exam is not.

3. Textbooks are ridiculous. Lots of paper, with very little density, and crazy expensive. Textbooks in Russia are more like AoPS books.
I am sorry the house you buy that you live in is not an investment it is a liability.

Real estate is only an investment, and a very good one, when you are buying property that you then rent out. Then the leverage helps you out as long as you have renters and rents go up or stay the same. The price of the home matters far less in that case until you are ready to trade up.

I am sure at this level though inverters are having a much harder time finding real estate that is cash flow positive.

That is the main argument here. I still think it's an effect.

Everyone knows saving for a pension is worth it, everyone knows a more expensive fridge is more economical, everyone knows expensive shoes last longer, but not everyone can afford these solutions.

FYI I am reading your sources. One important concept in Confucianism is this:

> Social harmony results in part from every individual knowing his or her place in the natural order, and playing his or her part well.

It's not a guide that promotes social mobility. It was created for a certain time and place.

That's assuming nice weather conditions. Mudslides, flash floods, extreme code, ice, snow, etc. needs to be taken into consideration.
It's a rock and a hard place. They have a deficit, they cannot wring out any more money via taxes, and cutting social spending would likely result in both outrage from the electorate and economic pains due to the policies of the previous administration. So to keep the machine running they're borrowing money, with the hope that pro-business policies will attract the investment needed to be able to make everything ultimately sustainable.

At least, this is how it was explained to me.

And I love the counterpoint:

> "We hire truckers," Seltz-Axmacher tells prospective drivers right before offering them a job. "But we also have a lot of engineers in Silicon Valley. Everything you’ve heard about San Francisco—it’s all basically true. There is something called raw denim, and in San Francisco people wear it, which means that some of your colleagues will pay up to $300 for a pair of blue jeans. They sometimes drink $7 lattes, too. Many of your co-workers will not be from the U.S. They will have accents. Can you handle that?"

In my experience, the culture clash seems to me to be more common in technology companies doing hardware projects than in hardware companies adding software to their processes. As a member of the latter, I take exception to this statement:

> “We basically have people from two worlds, neither of which has ever talked to each other,” says Seltz-Axmacher, who grew up in suburban Maryland. “That’s kind of what’s wrong with this country.”

Perhaps that's true of the founder's life experience, or true of the trucking industry, but most manufacturing jobs seem to be merging these cultures comparatively smoothly. I've been at a couple companies in the automotive industry, and been to hundreds of different plants, and everywhere you look there are blue collar technicians running the machines and white collar engineers building and automating the machines. The situation is not so bad as the article paints it outside the extremes of Ivy League PHD programs contrasted with the trucking industry.

What you're describing is called "local loop unbundling". Lots of other countries do it, it works great, and it would solve most if not all of the problems with the telco market in the US... so naturally these companies lobby hard to make sure it'll never happen.

Indeed collections are a stinky bit, but fortunately they are not the majority of the code. Generally i either do a "list of pointers" (for example http://runtimeterror.com/rep/engine/artifact/0a8bb29493c782f... from my own C engine) or i define `DECLARE_LIST(type)` and `IMPLEMENT_LIST(type)` macros which declares types and functions for handling those (note that with the word list "list" in both cases i mean a conceptual list of items, not the data structure, in practice it isn't a linked list but a vector). The latter can be faster, more flexible (e.g. you can specify how the comparisons are done so that you can use == for simple stuff, strcmp for strings, memcmp for structs or custom calls for more complex structures) and more type safe but on the other hand it can be very annoying to write, debug and extend which is why i rarely do it. Another way is to use an include trick where you do something like

#define TYPE int
#include "list_template.h"
#undef TYPE

with `list_template.h` using TYPE wherever a data type would be needed and defining inline (C99) and/or static (C89) functions so that they can be redefined in multiple files (or have a dedicated C file that includes the above header with all data types and an additional macro that enables the implementation). This is basically sort of implementing templates in C.

The void pointer approach is the simplest and most macro free (despite me using macros here, i'm a bit macro happy sometimes :-P) but at the same time you are limited to pointers. In practice i've found that most of the time this is enough, which is why i still haven't replaced that yet. But there are cases where i'd prefer to be able to have a list of structs instead of pointers to structs, both because it is simpler (no need to define a custom free function) and faster (less indirections), so i'll most likely replace that code with another approach (most likely the macro that defines the types, not the include header).

But if there is a single feature i'd like to see from C++ to C that would be templates, even if they are single depth. I don't even care about classes or the other stuff (classes are nice to have, but not necessary as long as the compiler can figure out that the template parameters to structs and functions with the same name refer to the same type when used together).

Berkshire Hathaway just invested $400 million into the Canadian alternative mortgage market, as well as providing a $2 billion loan at 9%:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanvardi/2017/06/22/warren-b...

This alone should prevent any bubbles from bursting in 2017. Especially if Home Capital Group starts lending again (see: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/government-need-make-some-dra... ).

Edited to note: $2.5 billion is probably not really a significant amount as far as the Canadian mortgage market is concerned (e.g., around ~700 houses in Vancouver's good neighbourhoods), but the fact Warren Buffett is behind this should calm nerves and cause the lending taps to re-open a bit in the subprime markets that are so key to the bubble. The government backed Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) won't sell default insurance for mortgages over $1 million CDN.
> instead of malicious action on the part of Comcast.

Im not so sure of that. The destruction occurred from June 15th to Aug 1st (when they lost their last customer) -- thats 6 weeks -- using over 4000ft of cable for repairs.

If comcast was notified after the first incident, and it continued for 6 weeks.. doesn't that indicate malicious intent?
Hah, you're definitely right (I work at an EMS provider). In the context of the piece it seems to me like they're more focused on SF type startups than places like where you or I work. I agree very much with:

This is false. Vacant lots don't appreciate nearly as much as constructed and occupied buildings. A vacant lot in a downtown district has a lot of development risk associated with it. Look at how many years it takes to get plans approved and construction completed in a city like San Francisco or Manhattan. It's difficult to finance a project across that many years and you never really know what plans will get approved or how long it will take until you're well into the process.

Look into the history of the LinkedIn building at 2nd and Howard for example (which was for many years a parking lot).

What you want is "local loop unbundling". It's how this works in Europe where you have artificial non-free markets with real price competition, rather than natural monopolies without price competition as in the US.
Well if you are really asking it, Paraguay has really cheap electricity. They sell back most of what they produce because they don't use it.

But no, not needed. If the bill really had to go up, do it progressively, not in one shot so you don't get everybody unprepared. If you think it by another angle, a 700% increase is a hell of a tax for technology companies or garage projects.
Look, you keep saying "on a suitably reliable network". Where do you get this stuff? TLS replay protection is always present and does not depend on network reliability at all. You might not establish TLS connection if your network is super bad, but it does not mean replay is possible.

Yet another game engine written in an imperative language, seemingly with the focus on writing something in Orthodox C++ and not necessarily writing something to solve a problem. Just as the discussion on this post shows, the more interesting thing here is Orthodox C++, not yet another game engine which doesn't offer any featues that modern game engines offer.

If you're expecting people to see this as a useful product, please explain why it should be used instead of the existing game engines. Consider listing its features and comparing them, maybe in a table, to popular game engines. Deferred rendering? Multi-threaded rendering? Entity-component system? etc.

Right now, I can see it has a (nice looking) editor, "physics" (nothing's moving, so it's hard to tell), and "animation" (again, nothing's animating in the image). Alas, one needs to learn to use its entirely fresh standard library reimplementation, and likely its strict C++ subset, if one actually wants to be productive with it. Given apparently no active community, no sample (or actual) games written in it, and no paid support, I don't see how that would be feasible.

If you have no interest in actually making a competitive, novel, or useful (to others, compared to existing solutions) game engine, please just say that. In that case, I'd just say this is a neat side project: well done, but try to focus on building something with it to help sell/prove its features.
The point of that article wasn't that touching things in air isn't as good as touching buttons, it was that hands offer a huge range of interaction and sensory experiences, and yet we keep focusing on interfaces that totally ignore this. I don't think it applies much less to keyboards, mice, and gamepads than it does to screens, as you still are getting very little feedback/use of your hands beyond knowing where your fingers are positioned relative to what they're over/holding.

I agree that the ManusVR gloves don't give you much more feedback by themselves than a standard VR controller, but I think it allows your hand to be used to a fuller extent, and doesn't restrict you to as narrow a set of interactions.

The only additional feedback VR controllers give you is in how much you're pressing a button/thumbstick/trackpad and maybe some vibrations. Knowing if you've squeezed a trigger enough to shoot a gun in a game is good, but you could also accomplish that while wearing some VR gloves by holding a toy gun in your hand, which then gives you the added feedback of the shape and weight of a gun. Before we have some sort of setup for providing actual feedback based on the virtual world you're interacting with, it seems like this kind of setup (smart gloves coupled with simple dumb-props) would be a more desirable user experience than controllers with some buttons & sticks.

This is really tragic to watch. I like Netflix in many respects but this is just incompetent. Not one Academy Award Winning film for best picture would qualify for these specs. Not one. I expect very few if any nominees either.

The Arri Alexa is eliminated by these specs, for crying out loud. The single most popular camera amongst high end feature cinematographers.

This is driven by some misguided belief that input resolution == output resolution AND that resolution is the measure of quality.

I really hope they get their head out of their asses on this at some point.

It's good to have quality standards, and thank god they aren't Turner Classic Movies (the fuck was that all about??). But these specs are as arbitrary as saying all of your food must be cooked in copper cookware.
