I don't know the technical details but for me and everybody else I ever recommended it always fixes the stutters. Multiple ISPs and computers were tested too. Maybe it's because I'm not from the US?

One thing I'm sure is that it uses way less CPU and helps with my ISP throttling because anything 720p60 and above is a problem if I'm using a browser.

There are options to modify the buffer, reconnect and more but I almost never change my config except for hls-live-edge like once a year (for something that is not Twitch).
Jesus, there is one Popeye's location that is apparently, just, like, going out of its way to add acrylamide to its french fry oil or something.

Are we sure it wasn't the other way around? Maybe Chris really didn't like the engineering culture or something else and decided to leave, but given how big a story it was when he joined they needed to both put out a statement.

This is where different accounts with automatic direct deposit really shines. My paycheck is directed several different ways - I have a household bills account, a savings account, and a daily spend account. My paycheck gets allocated to each account automatically. No thinking required, if it's in my daily spend account it's been allocated for spending.

Once the money is in my savings account I do choose to reallocate the extra (beyond emergency fund) to long term investments.

You touched on a much wider human phenomenon: attention isn't evenly distributed. The media isn't pushed to report in proportion to an individual's impact. It's guided by trends, aka what people want to read.

AI is hot. So therefore there is a huge spotlight on all angles there. You can argue whether that is actually fair (personally, I do think AI is a high beta field). Topics that don't fall under this are regarded as inside baseball.

A Router Cheat Sheet to Secure Your Device
there's a ton of room! there's a vendor stranglehold on android architecture that is stifling movement in this area. Use your imagination a bit, dude.

if we had a hackable open source and libre linux phone, even if the user base were 1 percent or .5%, we would likely start to see shifts in user interface and functionality design on the mainstream platforms-- besides, it'd be super rad to be able to actually use my phone for m0re than mindlessly scrolling 'feeds' and messaging.

as a cash-strapped third worlder constantly on the move in a mega-city, termux has been a huge relief for me and postmarketOS and other players looks promising.

i'd seriously be interesting in commercializing such a device to the raspbi/arduino/developr/hacker crowd. it's got lots of money, lots of clout, is clearly identified, growing and diversifying, and has been proven to spend money on interesting and useful tech. Any takers ?
> I've had the impression it's pure chaos over at Tesla's autopilot division for quite a long time.

That's interesting. I've heard this too from people at three different self-driving car companies ("Tesla's autonomy group is melting down; we get a ton of resumes...blah blah").

But...it's from their competitors, and you're probably always getting resumes from folks at your competitors all the time (and your colleagues' resumes are heading in the other direction, perhaps yours too). So, though I'm no fan of Tesla, I have discounted such comments. Though perhaps I shouldn't have been?
Good streamers (shoutout to Grubby) will actually read the question they're answering out loud before they answer it. Means I don't have to wade through the insane chat myself, but I still get to experience both sides of the Q&A when he picks out something funny or interesting to respond to.
Yeah, I have. Java is notorious for tossing 30 page runtime exceptions all over the place. Given that the alleged advantage of getting type happy is to prevent runtime errors, can you explain how Java actually supports your case?

I feel like the module approach makes sense. Once composing and training modules are easier for a non-researcher I think it will be a big win for machine learning.

I see immense value in pretrained modules being composed in novel ways to adapt to new problems, similar to the way in computer vision pretrained networks can greatly speed up adapting to a new domain.
I like their current Maps app on Android a lot. Especially compared to Waze. It has a habit of popping up contextual info at the right time, and always seems to have way more data on any given location that I am 100% comfortable with, but am thankful its there anyway.

Given, that is the exception. They just - for some bizarre reason - broke their own material design guidelines in the youtube app by moving the tabs bar to the bottom and coloring it white like its an iOS app. It is now a disgusting blemish on the UI, makes no sense, isn't ergonomic at all, and violated their own design rules. And they didn't even add anything with it. They just moved the bar for no good reason and infinite bad ones.

The later seems to be way more the status quo than the former, sadly. The designers at Google seem to be locked into one project, and then they overengineer and reinvent the app every single year to justify their jobs, while breaking UX and alienating users.

I hope I am not jinxing Google Maps here - it got overhauled like two years ago into its current state. If its "due" to be redesigned from scratch again, and they break or take away a majority of the features that make it useful now, I'm going to be sad, because there is no real competitor to the density of information Google has.
I don't know if there's any better way to downplay a major hire leaving after less than half a year. Everything in those statements is extremely obvious from the circumstances and I can't think of a more cordial way to phrase it.

The underlying assumption to the 4% rule is that you get the average 7% growth of the US stock market. This allows for 4% withdrawal and 3% to keep up with inflation, which historically would have worked at almost all points in the US market. Firecalc [1] lets you look at how your assumptions would fare in all sequences of years of US stock data (percentage of outcomes where you would've been fine/bankrupt.)

Yes Common Lisp is freaking amazing, but it isn't as good of an out of the box experience as a lot of these products. How do you do plotting besides pushing to GNUPlot? The REPL is great, but can you specify types? Yes it can reach near C/Fortran speeds, but how much time will I spend optimizing it? Are the built-in linear algebra, optimization...etc libraries good, or must I toil with FFI? How much time is really saved over dealing with all that and learning SBCL, slime, emacs...etc? Data scientists just don't have the time.
People are downvoting you. But I think this is a really good point...
That's my point. Saying they're not affecting gameplay doesn't mean much when they have other value to players.
It should be understood that numpy is written in C, and is an example of the "2 language problem" that Julia solves rather well.

The question really is the converse ... given how deft Julia is with general programming as well as numerically intensive programming, do you really need Python + numpy(C).
Count me as one of them, though I'm more conversant about it than some. Let me ask then: what would you have people understand?
Wonderful news!
I'm not sure what the state of hardware accelerated video on OSX is, but at least on Linux Firefox doesn't support hardware decoding while Chromium does, and that leads to a 20% vs 5-10% CPU usage while watching Twitch source streams for me.
Wrong. Indeterminate is fundamental to C. UB is a hack.
Triple-stores can, but don't necessarily, layer on top of SQL databases. Jena has (had?) a triple-store engine that used JDBC to store the triples in a traditional relational database, but it's been deprecated for years in favor of a specialized engine designed specifically for storing RDF.

I can't speak for other triple-stores as Jena is what we use, but I can say that comparing SPARQL queries against Jena TDB to SQL queries on MySQL or Postgres is like comparing apples and kangaroos.

You can write reasonable REST APIs for RDF. You can even formalize it with JSON-LD if you care to.

True. It's unfortunate that many people have such a strong mental association with RDF and RDF+XML. The Semantic Web community largely moved on from emphasizing use of RDF+XML something like 10+ years ago, in favor of N3 or Turtle, and - more recently - JSON-LD.

But people still hear "Semantic Web" and think "oh, that's that heavy weight XML bloated thing..."
Indeed, one thing I look forward to is SDCs returning residential streets to their original primary users: humans.
No of course, but the fact that you can "ask for more memory" by growing the stack onto your heap (rather than say, having the two start somewhere together and grow apart) - means that there's an asymmetry: mallloc will give you more ram or fail; growing the stack - can make your allocated memory overlap.

Good old days. I remember trying to shoehorn Slackware onto an IBM PS/2 m55 with 2.9mb RAM. Unluckily for me, it was an MCA system with an ESDI disk, with the MCA support very experimental, and I ended using a parport ZIP100 to help with a minimal install. One day I got back from school and some dude from one of the Usenet groups called me on my land line asking for the steps.

AMD EPYC Architecture and Technical Overview
When Intel did the dual-die thing with Kentsfield, AMD mocked them for not being "true quad-core" and refused to follow suit. They had quad-core dies back then, so they could have easily hit back with an 8-core part if they swallowed their pride and put more than one die on a chip! I think it was a terrible move, just when AMD was starting to become irrelevant again.

10 years later, Intel sticks to single-die chips, and AMD has no qualms stuffing a gazillion dies on a chip. Looks like they've learned a lesson or two :)

In the past that may have been true. At least in my experience most white people don't even know their country of origin, and if they do it's really not that big of a deal. Ethnic festivals and holidays mostly just continue on as tradition now. They aren't signs of seriously separate cultures. You can't tell whether someone is Irish by how they talk, by how they dress, who they hang around, etc. The fact they are Irish is not an important part of their identity at all. These separate white cultures have mostly melted together over time into just "American culture".

> There are exclusives for the Nintendo consoles that depend on their wacky hardware.

Not really. Actually, not at all. It is a terrible excuse for Nintendo, who I think is one of the worst offenders in the gaming space at using exclusivity to drive hardware sales and lock in.

The Wii Mote, for example, has been fully supported on PCs since about 2008 - a year after it came out. And there were probably beta drivers dating back to its release. It uses bluetooth, after all, its just an HID device. You can easily ship a game for PC that requires that controller.

Since their Wii U pad was just a dedicated computer that communicated over wifi (proprietary, I think?) with the base console, that kind of logic code can be ported anywhere. It just requires a server that converts the pads touch events and controls into a local touchscreen + joypad with haptics and gyros. Every major OS supports these, and has since well before the Wii U came out.

And don't get me started on the Switch. It is just an Android tablet (and the worst part is Nintendo stopped Nvidia from releasing a much needed Shield Tablet 2 because it would have just been a literal Switch without the controller parts included for half the price in exchange for using their SoC) with attachable joystick pieces. Again, every OS can support this input style, and any game can require it.

Nintendo has invested in manufacturing and distributing really shitty computers (since the Gamecube every Nintendo console has been underpowered compared to the average PC and was way behind its contemporary consoles) and writing a giant proprietary freedom-hating set top OS for them that uses proprietary APIs that are non-portable for developers to target for what I believe no reason than power hunger. There isn't even a profit motive in it - they make a tiny amount of money per console sold, nobody ships games on their systems anymore so they aren't getting any licensing money, and the vast majority of their income is from first party sales. But their first party titles only ever support their shitty hardware. It means they are dramatically reducing their potential audience of $60 pure profit releases per box (and their games have ravenous fans, even those that cannot afford a redundant $300 piece of junk) to move console units that don't make any money. The only reason to do that is because that is what you have always done. So you keep doing it, because you are addicted to having that level of control, even when it doesn't have a business benefit. It is pretty stupid.

I don't understand why this is a differentiator in clothes shopping online. The thing is you can return stuff without going to the store. But the most time is spent in browsing through items and trying them out. Returning items at a store does not take time at all. He cannot imagine that alone being a selling point for either Amazon prime or for trunkclub.

comparing SPARQL queries against Jena TDB to SQL queries on MySQL or Postgres is like comparing apples and kangaroos.

In the sense that apples rot and Kangraroos are amazing animals which can do just about anything?

Because otherwise the comparison seems completely apt.

Jena works for RDF data. But the OP is correct in their broader point that RDF is rarely a good choice and SPARQL is a pretty horrible solution for querying it.

Note that the reply someone is about to write ("But RDF is a generalized self descriptive data model") means it is intended to solve the exact problem that a RDBMS+SQL solves. And if you add the "standardized fields" thing it also matches the REST interface+RDBMS+SQL comparison the OP made.
Does anyone know if this compounds generationally? Like do the odds go up for the son of an old father, who is the son of an old father?
This is getting insane.

I don't know what else to comment here. That's all I've got. This is the sixth cryptocurrency-related crowdfunding I've read about in the last three months that has received double or triple digit millions in funding in a short period of time.
I'm a little late to this but this might help you. I'm an Indian, but I assume you are in the US. Having spent some time in the US this is what I would advice:

- Go get yourself a savings account and a checking account. Fill only enough amount in your checking account that you need to get by the month. Remaining goes into savings.

- Buy a home as quickly as you can, in an affordable place in the outskirts. By the time your kids arrive necessary infrastructure will be in place. Also rent is just another form of tax. And having your own home also means some place to rest without financial implication when you are old.

- Take the 401K plan seriously.

- Max out other instruments such as the IRA and Roth IRA.

- Buy a durable, long lasting car. And stick with that as long as it lasts.

- Healthy life style. Nothing pays as well as good health. Buy a bicycle or play a sport. Ensure your heart is healthy and you are not obese. There are other things to this, like learning to cook healthy food. Remember bad health too will account for a big chunk of your earnings in a place like the US.

- Be frugal. Frugality means making decisions that pay on the longer run. $5 may buy you burger combo in McD but trust me it will cost you on the longer run. You don't want that kind of frugality. Which is why the learning how to cook makes even more sense on the longer run.

- Be productive, in all ages. Have free time to network and develop new skills. Never be afraid to start from the beginning or learn and do something new.

- Lastly save. Save a lot.

Upworthy Was One of the Hottest Sites Ever
I've interacted with Enigma folks throughout the past few years, have always been impressed with their work and methodology. I've had friends who've worked at other massive-public-data-gathering startups, it sounds like a tough business, since collecting/cleaning data is hard, but having data isn't alone a competitive edge. Don't know if Enigma will find success with public data (though their offerings go beyond data, but enterprise platforms apparently), but I've been impressed at the scope of their collection and ability to wrangle data into a standardized structure.

Here's one example: Senate lobbying disclosures. Enigma has taken the original XML data sources and created several flat tables (lobbyists, issues, reports) that can be linked through foreign/primary keys: https://public.enigma.com/browse/lobbyists/09264ee1-792f-445...

Here's what the raw material looks like:

https://www.senate.gov/legislative/Public_Disclosure/LDA_rep...

Excerpt: https://gist.github.com/dannguyen/7588b8334f5c8954d2c2b13bc4...

I've written my own scripts to clean up and organize this shitshow but it's nice to have Enigma to double-check against, or even get ideas on how to structure things. What's just as impressive to me is the work put in the taxonomy of datasets, e.g. United States > U.S. Senate > Lobbying Reports.

For less data-savvy users, just having a Google-like simple search bar is great for discovery of datasets that contain a term of interest: https://public.enigma.com/search/google

Note: Enigma has had offered this public data for free before, you just had to sign up for an account to even browse the data. This public interface is much nicer, especially for sending people links. Haven't tested out the export functions or the quotas, but in the previous incarnation, free accounts got a huge number of downloads a month.
