That really infuriates me.

In the fields where I worked, I've had to read dozens of papers by teams from Turkey, China, the Slavic countries, and other places. People whose command of their field was far ahead of their command of English. People who submitted to Elsevier. And whose papers received no amount of copy-editing whatsoever. It was so bad, you could tell the authors' nationality by their grammar errors. Slavs would drop the definite and indefinite articles. Turks would refer to people as "it." Chinese authors would mix plural and singular inappropriately.

If they just spent a minimum on copy editing, I would pay the fees on every paper I needed. But they didn't even have the decency to do that.
I've heard the same rumor about "WTF "art"".
MS has officially confirmed this.

No, this thread is about shadow copies being turned on by default.
My concern is first off, this seems like it is going to break a massive number of applications. It also seems that they are pushing this layer of access management that doesn't have proper support on any platform but UWP.

I see this as Microsoft taking yet another step to force people to move to their new Appstore model. by choking the access to the operating system away from any other platform, which I find really amusing because their own top tier applications aren't built on these platforms (office, visual studio, etc..).
I was most impressed by the "cartoon" illustrations of the board, advisors, team, etc.

"Our main objective is to abolish the Notability Criteria, because this is the major root cause of the aforementioned exclusion and inequality."

Woo! What a line to start on. I had a kneejerk 'heck no' response, but I buy the author's argument that the verifiability criteria and upholding the prohibition against original research can negate most of the downsides of removing notability.

I worry that it could make Wikipedia harder to search, and that pages will need to be better indexed.

What if my name is Paul Ryan, and I create a Wikipedia page for all 798 other people named Paul Ryan (http://howmanyofme.com/people/Paul_Ryan/) using whitepages.com to satisfy verifiability so that when people try and find my Wikipedia page they are greeted by a disambiguation page that would be 12 printed pages long?

In order to prevent people from using the end of notability to obfuscate, I think that Wikipedia may need to switch to a more Google-like ranked search engine.

Algorithms / Machine Learning / Optimization Problems / Statistics as well as the full stack infrastructure to build a visual interface around it (generally Flask + D3.js, occasional React).

General R&D stack is Python + Numpy + (Theano | TF) + Jupyter on AWS. I've also used MATLAB extensively.

Experience: Image processing, deep learning (conv nets, recurrent nets, variational autoencoders, etc.), kernel methods, graphical analysis, bayesian methods, statistics, compressive sensing and image reconstruction, signals processing and systems calibration, performant convex optimization, customer behavior interpretation and analytics, finance analytics/predictions, numerical optimization and simulation, data visualization.

Generally I work on problems involving both mathematical derivation and performant algorithmic implementation. I've built a number of internally used customer analytics tools for my clients to push on sales / conversion metrics which enabled major improvements as well as significant insight. I've also built end-to-end MVPs for early stage startups looking to demo an ML-enabled product.

If you have an interesting dataset that you think could contain useful insight but you're not sure how to tackle it I'd love to take a look.

It would be interesting to see if the inaccuracy of languages in US productions correlates with the number of speakers of them in the US. As suggested on the linked page, one explanation for the poor German is lack of sufficient German speakers to check it. This could be compared to see if the spoken Spanish is better and if more obscure languages are worse.
Perhaps "brownlist" would be more appropriate
Didn't that involve a constant lobbing pressure from MS?

It is a marketing victory instead of a technological one.
Open Listings (YC W15) | Mid + Senior Full Stack Engineers | LA (Eastside) | On-site | https://www.openlistings.com

Open Listings is building the simplest and most affordable way to buy a home: e-commerce for real estate. We help tech savvy buyers shop for homes with expert online support, then save them a ton of money with a 50% commission refund. We're assisting hundreds of thousands of active buyers and transacting more than one home each day.

Today our software plugs into the existing real estate market via broker-quality data feeds and a network of local real estate agents. We have a web/app feed that helps users house hunt, back-of-house software that helps agents manage transactions, and custom support tools that allow our small team to assist thousands of active buyers through the process. We take a pragmatic, piecemeal approach to crafting software with heavy emphasis on testing, measurement, and iteration.

Our stack is rails, react, webpack, and mongodb with a heavy peppering of AWS goodies. The only tool we’re dogmatic about is simplicity. You should be comfortable developing the full critical path of a new web feature, but we’re most excited about front end web and/or native app expertise.

Projects we're excited about:

- Review + capacity management system for on-demand showing agents so that we can get tour lead-time down to 1 hour in major markets

- Deeper automation of the offer and closing process with online offer tracking throughout the entire buying process

- Full rebuild of our iOS app (react-native)

- Refreshed look and feel with consistent atomic style guide

- Personalized recommendations

What we're looking for from you:

- A BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience (not fresh out of bootcamp, sorry)

- Experience building a well-designed app

- A bias for building your way out of a problem

- Optimism about future technology and automation

- Good references from past colleagues

Strengthening African Machine Learning
It won't change anything for you most likely.

The module system is taking the place of whatever you were previously using to order your dependencies on the classpath.

Now, instead, the module files list the dependencies of a module and, Java does a resolution of all of them to determine the dependency graph. So the order of modules on the module path doesn't matter, unlike the classpath.

The only advantage I know of is that the standard lib has been split in over 92 modules. So if you don't use everything, your resulting Jar will be smaller. Basically, making Java more modular in the sense that packages are now grouped into smaller Jars.

Now Java 9 has some other features, one of them is to prevent reflection access of non public methods. This was made optional for Java 9. But might be made default in 10 and mandatory in 11. This is the biggest issue people have with Java 9 modules, because it will not be backwards compatible, and certain code can't even be ported, since no public APIs exist for certain things.

Finally, most programmer at the cast, like me and you, we're hoping that modules would be version aware, and allow multiple versions of the same module to coexist, but they didn't do that unfortunately.
All the people crying "Scam!", I have a question for you:

How is this fundamentally different than pre-orders? It seems to me like these ICOs are selling future access to some software that hasn't been built yet. Game companies sell pre-orders to the public all the time to finance the development of the software.

(I don't have any money in cryptocurrencies, but the ICO seems like a good way to fund a seed round for certain types of software, as far as I can tell)
Yes, diamonds are such a pyramid that is kept alive by pure market controlling efforts like monopoly and advertisment, just like crypto coins. Gold however has some market value by being impossible to artificially create, by being limited, by being hard to come by and by being hard to transport, all combined in one item.

Yes, you concluded correctly that I see a strong relationship between market value and utility. I'm not sure if market value is the correct word for it, though. English is not my native tongue. There are two values a product has. One is trade value, the other is what you call utility. I believe the trade value of crypto coins exceeds their utility a lot. And I believe they have nearly no utility at all, because otherwise it would have shown by now what the utility is. I also believe it's totally possible that trade value can be kept high without utility for a long time, thus "people are willing to pay a big price for it for a few years" is not a proof of utility to me.
It also is "unpredictable" what happens when you overrun a stack frame.

There is zero guarantee that the infamous Sufficiently Sophisticated Attacker couldn't predict it. Hardware is largely deterministic, even when it doesn't behave in the documented way. I wouldn't interpret this as literally unpredictable, it's just a generic slogan they always use in their errata. And they aren't going to say anything more for obvious reasons.

Patch this damn microcode.
From the comments secction in the article from Sven Efftinge : "

The IDE in Eclipse Che can only run in browsers and in the context of a Che workspace server but not standalone as a desktop app. Our customers need a solution that can be hosted from containers, similarly to Che but also run as standard desktop apps, similar to the traditional Eclipse IDE. So Theia aims at both desktop applications as well as cloud applications.

That said, to me the sweet spot of Eclipse Che is not its IDE, but the workspace management. We are in close collaboration with Eclipse Che developers to make sure that Theia can be used within Che.

Patients Know Best | Generalist Java developer | REMOTE | Full Time

We are looking for experienced Java generalists to work on our Electronic Patient Portal and Integrated Digital Care Record system.

PKB integrates data flows across multiple organizations across the healthcare system, while putting the patient in control of her data. We're building something that actively, directly, improves the lives of people in general -- not selling more stuff, helping others sell more stuff, or making comfortable people a bit more comfortable. We are a fully remote team with a dozen developers, spread across half a dozen countries within a few hours of GMT (for shared working hours -- we are mostly looking for people in the EU/ECC to make the monthly meetings more feasible).

Keywords that describe our stack: Postgres, Wildfly, Spring Boot, Dropwizard, Docker, Prometheus, Grafana, Pagerduty, Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Teamcity, Ansible, Vagrant, Java 8, Selenium, Arquillian.

Environment: we are all remote, there is no central office. We communicate primarily through chat (Slack) and issue tracking (JIRA), as needed over phone (Slack, join.me and similar, Skype, etc.) and we meet up once in a month in person for a day or two – usually in London.
You can use any OS/IDE/editor you like – whatever makes you productive. The only hard requirement is that you can run Docker containers and git somehow. We have devs running Windows, OS X and Linux.

You should ..

- be a good communicator, able to understand others and explain yourself clearly and concisely; knowing how to chase the best ideas in a discussion, not just push your own.

- be proactive and motivated, comfortable asking for help when you're stuck and making constructive suggestions when you see something that could be working better.

- be able to prioritize well and strike the right balance between hacking things together hastily and completely disappearing for two months while refactoring the persistence layer.

- understand both the technical priorities and the business priorities underpinning them.

- be conscious of risk, have seen successful and failed projects, and have a good sense of what is going to work and what is going to fail.

It just occured to me that the second and third options are more similar than they initially appear. In both cases you've taken responsibility for the library in a new way.

It's no longer a breaking change for the library authors to break you if you're messing with private state, so you'll need to do some vetting of all changes to the library.

I could buy that, except that the clear implication was that diets don't work because of the language. The article plainly blamed the use of the phrase "calories in, calories out" as a major factor in why diets don't work. That's just not true, the caloric equation isn't why diets don't work, the caloric equation is precisely why diets do work. The phrase also is not the reason that people don't stick to diets either. Sticking to a reduced calorie diet is fighting our instincts and our habits and behaviors and social circles, not our language.

I paid $10 for the card.
$0.00 annual fee

Ubuntu itself is good enough. If you mean GUI software providers different to the OS provider, then I agree. But not for the base OS.

Do you have any particular example explaining your opinion?
I do more enterprisey stuff so our customers are a little less accepting of model restriction. I find a service based architecture more flexible as its pretty easy swap out services that just work off a common currency that define different or customisable behaviour. The sort of situation where an entity is performing business logic makes that harder do as opposed to swapping out the service.

I made the same mistakes as OP and learnt the hard way. I encourage you to explore a greater purity in your models in the future because I genuinely believe it leads to better code.
Fair enough. Although I'm curious what text editors would support non-trivial text replacement like \delta_1. For example, Vim abbreviations apply on word boundaries (things followed by space or punctuation). So to make \delta_n work you'd have to have a separate abbreviation for each digit n. Then do this for every single thing that can be subscripted.

To be fair, though, this works fine and seems pretty usable

:ab _1 <BS>₁

This does a backspace before the replacement, so it transforms `foo _1.` into `foo₁.`
Sliders and knobs are one thing, but this format really invites the use of XY controllers where sliding a finger in the x-dimension modulates one parameter, while the y-dimension modulates another. I am certain more complex schemes should be possible, especially given the possibilities of multi-touch input. I would love to see something like this included.

Gov. Chris Christie and Family on Closed Island Beach State Park in N.J
Is the author claiming that the notability criteria currently in place excludes notable women or minorities? I didn't see anything in there relating to sex or gender or race. If there is and I missed it, the obvious next step would be to work to amend the notability criteria in order to be more equal in gender and/or race.
I jumped into CodeWars.com just to see what it's about. Take a look at this puzzle:

The code does not execute properly. Try to figure out why.

int multiply(int a, char *b) {

return a b;

}

WTF? Who the hell multiplies a char pointer with an int? Why not just a char? Do I need to multiply the pointer address or the value the pointer points at? Do I need to check for NULL?

Why not write proper code instead of solving these "puzzles"?
What are the most egregious submission removals?
But why take away my paddle? Let me have a working solution right away, and when you push an update that breaks my code, let me also deal with fixing it. I'm not dumb, I understand the risk of depending on private APIs.
