Why don't you sue them? It's a government agency, and I believe that the data should be available under New York's public records laws (I only have limited experience with NY's laws and IANAL). From personal experience, being nice to a government agency never got me anywhere, but our lawyer has a 95% win rate against them.
What percentage of that is phone and computer related? If you were unable to visit particular sites (maybe during particular timeslots), how much would that solve the problem? What other things could solve the problem without changing your actual habit?
Zero – Invented or Discovered?
Yes, but that has an unspoken assumption that recent habits are more additive than longer term ones. I find that suspect; after all, you've already shown that you'll go back again and again to these kinds of videos, whereas you might spend a couple of hours watching a bunch of videos of a kind that you'll never be interested in again.

Personally, I find YouTube terrible at keeping me engaged. Even when I want to keep watching videos, their sidebar fails to show me anything I want to click on at least 1/3 of the times.
- A decent minimum password length, without any funky requirements, just the minimal length.

- Being able to prosecute any company that stores passwords in plain text
Yeah! Once we remove all regulations, ISPs will be forced to compete with all the little ISPs eagerly waiting to provide service!

Net Neutrality does nothing to hinder competition. In fact, we need more regulation to force competition.

It's because of a lack of regulation that my city tricked into selling their amazing municipal broadband service to Comcast.
> Most of the stuff people post on Facebook just wouldn't be posted in a less twisted medium

The article clearly notes that he crossposts to Facebook. If you think someone posting professional content on their personal website is a twisted medium, I'm really curious about what isn't twisted in your view.
While your horizontal space can be very useful for code and server logs, the ideal measure for reading text is around 66 characters per line[0], spaces included.

Make it too long and you may have trouble to find the next line. Make it too short and your eyes will suffer from traveling back too often.

The world is full of coincidences - I spent this evening on a tour of the Cavendish Museum, looking at the actual apparatus described in the paper :)
Granted, you can use other DL frameworks like Theano on AMD Graphics cards, but there isn't as much of an advantage.
How many vacuum cleaners do you have?
Sad to see you downvoted. I believe that government employees who actively prevent access to publicly-owned data should be fired immediately.
It really seems like quite the ultimate c64 board. Pretty much the only thing I can imagine it needing is a image resampler to scale the frame to full 1080p in some way. As many if not most screens are 1080p, it would make sense to have the scaling to be done on the board because it probably can do it better than the random crap that is built-in in screens.

My 2c about the price; do not try too hard to squeeze it into low price point. I can't imagine there being a huge difference in volume between e.g. 200 and 250 eur, but it is absolutely crucial that you actually have the ability to ship it.
Thank you for sharing that, I thought it was awesome.

I had no problems with the scroll of the site, so have an upvote so that others may see the link.
Reddit didn't even change their banner announcement - it's currently promoting signing up for Reddit Gifts. The slow-loading logo only has a clue to what it's about in the alt-text; the link hasn't changed.
10 people responding to an ad seen by 2000 is actually a decent success rate. Print ads aren't very good for anything other than keeping the company in the front of the reader's mind. They're great for companies like big chains ("Next time you want fast food, come check out the new BigMac for just $x.xx"), but not for people trying to elicit specific actions immediately ("Download this app now for increased walk times")
- no max length on password at all, or allow a 3 digit number of chars. Never silently truncate passwords either.

- never disable paste on a password field.
And the lesson here would be not to get involved with Ayrveda.
Because if e.g. you watch a Tool video, the ad rates for you watching a Korn video after that are higher than if you watch a Zeni Geva one

But why? If I've watched hundreds of Zeni Geva videos over the years, but it's my fifth Tool video, why would I be more likely to click on a ad on a Korn video?
As someone looking to get into CLJS, where do I find "native" CLJS libraries in case I wish to avoid using NPM?
This approach has been tried before and was used to make a solar cell with record efficiency[0]. This approach might be needed to get up to 50% efficiency.

> I did not deny that Rust is an interesting option if automatic memory management is not a viable approach.

I think this is the main niche in which Rust can compete, while of course rust community want to attract people with different backgrounds (eg pythonists, webdevelopers etc).

It's like you say, if I don't need the performance or I am not memory constrained then I will just use GC'd language.
I’ve got over a dozen Facebook accounts with the same name, and people frequently message the wrong one, but Facebook never tried closing any of them.
Bumble Copies Tinder’s Super Like with New ‘SuperSwipe’ Feature
I really loved the UI, but there are no apps! What good is a smartphone with no apps? Of course they're being boycotted by Google and others, but no Google Maps, no Google Inbox, and other software that I use many times/day.
I think what changed is streaming services - huge and costly (to the ISP) bandwidth hogs which are just asking to be extorted because they make money on their content.

Maybe it's also a matter of competition with cable TV - if Comcast reduces Internet service prices and takes the money from Netflix instead, Netflix will have to rise their prices and be less competitive?
With stars you can cross compare with others to see if they have the same score. With simple thumbs up recommendations you cannot compare the ratings as the score is whether it appears to you or not.
Native CLJS libraries are regular JARs that you add to your classpath. Most people publish them to Clojars[1] (which also has Clojure libs). Maven Central may also have some.

Well i'll be damned. When i looked into this a while back i had to register (used an old hotmail account i have sitting around for when i have to interact with MS) before getting anything done.
Is your churn rate within a healthy range?
HAMMER does support replication but it doesn't have erasure coding.

If you are using a recent Linux Kernel I can suggest you to use dm-integrity [0] (optionally with dm-crypt) with your favorite filesystem. It's not erasure coding but it can help detecting silent data corruption on the disk.

Why would you want to know the train more than 10 minutes before departure? Surely you'd just get on the immediate next train?

Are tickets only for a specific time of train?

Or are trains less frequent than every 10 minutes?
Lisp's problem is that almost nobody plays with it, but they know that it's that language that relies a lot on parentheses. When they do rarely come across the odd example it is full of unfamiliar symbols: car, labels, mapcan, assoc, setf and so on. Depending on the code, it's possible that not a single thing means anything to even be able to guess.
For Practitioners, by Practitioners: QConNYC 2017 Recap
It's supposed to come back (improved) with the Fall Creators Update though. I can see how many users would get confused by it but hopefully this time it'll be more intuitive.
No one has a choice with JavaScript. Theoretically you could go native or transpile but it's very rare.

Therefore, if you included it, the data wouldn't lead to meaningful conclusions. I feel like this was pretty obvious from the article and that the explanation was enough. For example, substituting node for js seemed to work well enough.
What do you imagine as the difference between consciousness and self-awareness?
Forgive me, but I just don't understand this sentiment at all. I understand your general frustration with over-engineered websites - but is it not your choice to visit that website? Do you not also have the ability to block javascript just like the scourge of flash websites before it? We aren't talking about vulnerabilities here though, youre just saying that there are websites out there that could do with less (or no) javascript but arent, so you want to "force" them to?

Let me ask it a different way - do you have any reasonable expectation that your proposal will ever be accepted? That browser manufacturers will implement things to limit or block the functionality of js? Where would the line be drawn (and who would draw it) between the so-called web apps and everything else that isn't worthy?

There already are some mechanisms in place to decentivize misbehaving websites such as the google rankings. But thats a far cry from a browser not supporting or displaying some warning when viewing one of those sites.

Maybe im missing something - that there are these required sites that are misbehaving and we need some regulatory power to rein them in.
Tech That Makes the President into a Lip-Synching Puppet
Well that, and it offered a off the shelf unix with support down the road (or in the university library sometimes).

Best i can tell though the unix parts are growing more and mroe stale compared to both the BSDs and GNU (many seems to resort to installing the latter via third party tools).
Agreed. I usually have two browser windows per screen, or I just zoom a little if a website uses too little horizontal space.

When I come upon a site that uses too much horizontal space for me to read comfortably, I just leave.
Were the (technical) employees happy about it?

I.e. was it just a crazy requirement handed down, or did they not know better?

I just can't imagine it even for solo development, nevermind collaborative work! "Agh. We must have had a merge conflict, damn, the core part of my work is gone... Let me see if I have a recent copy... Oop, no, I don't, because I've run out of disk space from all these clone backups."

Portability and the GOV.UK PaaS (Platform as a Service)
I don't think we have seen the last resignation related to sexual harassment. It is a shame that people cannot conduct themselves in a manner that is respectful to one another. I understand being attracted to someone after all we are all human. But using authority, position as a VC, etc is such an abuse of power. I wish they could have just thought about how the women would feel to be treated so poorly. If they could not do that, I wish they would have thought how their own life could be affected should their actions become known. Maybe then many of these women would have not be subjected to such crass behavior.
I fail to see how Closure Complier is any more complicated, more painful, and has any more caveats than Babel/Webpack. With Closure Compiler at 8 years old and building some of the most sophisticated JS properties on the web (GDocs anyone?) it seems pretty "solid" to me. Perhaps it not clear from the post but that's a big part of why this works, we're not doing the heavy lifting.
Hmm, it does seem like it should be possible to put mdadm on top of dm-integrity devices, I might try that out.
Same here.

iCloud comes very close, but it's horribly unreliable, and there is no way to keep it from delete certain files you might still be working with.

I had gigabytes to spare, and it deleted a pretty big file while I had it open in Photoshop, I couldn't figure out why Photoshop wouldn't save it, and it was because iCloud had deleted it while I was using it.

Now, it's been stuck at uploading 200 files/200 for about a week.
Overall, I don't mind Mozilla having these data but I'm more concerned with Google by extension having them too, that, is unexpected.
Switching Links on Force-Directed Graph (D3 V4)
Just throwing out an idea. I think I'll have to play with the dilution calculator for a while before I even form an opinion as to whether there's a good answer to your question. I was just going off the observation that uncapped notes are apparently not completely unheard of, for whatever reason, and so maybe there's some room for compromise.

> in 10-20 years when more tech-savvy people have aged there will be a huge need for services like this

The need is for people to be mobile and to not get run over, not for them to have something that can use their gadget for.

And what does tech-savyness have to do with it? I forgot more about tech than the average person learns, and that is why I don't have a smartphone. Not because I'm so scared of it, but because I like to get shit done, and I know how to configure and operate an actual computer to do so. So speaking of the future, will people be allowed to not be chipped in some way, or will we continue to invent straw men for the choice not to be, as if opting out is the problem rather than needing everybody to opt in?

Here's an idea: if you have a smart phone, walk to the middle island, press the button again, and play tic tac toe or whatever fancy stuff it can do. The person who is forced to just watch cars for 2 minutes instead, let's get a solution for them first. It will also work for the smartphone owner so they're not really second, it's just that you don't waste time coming up with a non-solution first. That's what'd happen if we didn't use the disabled and elderly to put a nice face on our emerging dystopia, but I know that's way too radical.

Just today I saw the saddest thing in the subway. Two toddlers in a big carriage next to me, when I saw them I had to grin at first, as they were moving around and making sounds, spreading a spirit of liveliness as toddlers tend to do. But then daddy handed them two big tablets (the one for the girl was pink, I shit you not), and they started both watch a cartoon and fell silent, the girl with her back turned to her brother. They couldn't even talk yet it seemed, since they had just made noises before. The father seemed super fond and attentive of them, it would have been easier to stomach if he had seemed loveless... but he wanted to make the train ride more enjoyable to them, that's all. This is the best way he knew how. I died a little inside taking all that in in the span of a few minutes, and I doubt I will fully recover. I had to look away at some point because I felt like crying. Never mind turning me off from the always on blinkenlights hanging jaw lifestyle, never mind my own doubts about having kids just for Moloch to eat them as they bounce around like hollow pinballs, this was fit to turn me off public transportation. And I've seen, and smelled, some horrid stuff, I saw some very depressed or sick people. But nothing stung like this.
Maybe I'm reading those benchmarks wrong, but they appear to max out well under 10GB/s. This would mean you'd be CPU bound on your checksums alone with one of those Seagate cards.

ProcOS: scheduling atop Unikernels
I doubt the economist agreed with this - or maybe there'd been a little too much alcohol consumed:

"then GDP continues to grow while energy remains at a fixed scale. This means that energy—a physically-constrained resource, mind—must become arbitrarily cheap as GDP continues to grow and leave energy in the dust.

Economist: Yes, I think energy plays a diminishing role in the economy and becomes too cheap to worry about."

This inaccurately conflates two concepts - decoupling economic growth from energy (we see this in computing, as you carry an 80s supercomputer in your pocket) and the cost of fixed resources in a growing economy.

A necessary, fixed resource increases in cost as GDP increases. That is, if there are only 100 works by van Gogh, and the available cash goes for $100 to $100,000,000, people will be willing to pay more $ for the fixed set of van Gogh works.

The cost of the fixed resource depends on the economic efficiency of that resource, and may go up or down as a percentage of GDP. Limits to energy efficiency hypothesized in the article would suggest that energy costs would go UP as a percentage of GDP (and inescapable energy demands would thus form the limit of economic growth).
Defend Net Neutrality
I bought some extra space from Google for photos (which I have backed up in many places), my credit card didn't work for some reason, and they immediately downgraded my account to the free tier, with no warning.

It might have been because there were actually no files taking up the extra space, but losing all my pictures because my CC didn't work and they don't have their $1.99 or being paranoid that that might happen is not worth it.
YouTube's home page system is quite hackable in a way, but you need to use the search or other recommended videos to change your viewing pattern.

In other words it doesn't consider you as someone with a long history. You can change your profile from a conservative to a liberal in a few hours watching videos. Whether it's possible to have a balanced amount of crazy ( not the same as a centrist) is something I'm currently working on, it requires effort!
This also goes deeper with things like GovCloud. Where government now no longer uses their own data center.

This theoretically gives a company power to shut the government if they really wanted to.
To answer your question more directly: the electoral college system isn’t in conflict with the Constitution because it’s in the Constitution (article II section 1).
IPv6, DNSSEC, P2P DNS and rootless DNS,
I thought Smalltalk did native UI, but not so much web stuff? Is this that Seaside framework they talk about?
But if we "stop" this database/schema, make ZFS snapshot (I suggest that the "partition" keeps only this database related files) it may work. It can be useful for testing purposes I guess.
In my opinion -
Shoot as high as you feel reasonable. Do you feel competent enough to work at a mid-level position? If so, apply to those positions. Often times job postings are "over posted" to weed out people who feel themselves underneath the job. If a posting asks for 5 years of experience, most companies would be happy with 1-2 years of quality, proven experience.

As for timing, I would say it's never too early to start networking. Get your feet wet with recruiters, make yourself known to companies. You might not necessarily want to go through a complete application process, but now is definitely the time to start researching and talking.
We find that the rate of population loss in terrestrial vertebrates is extremely high—even in “species of low concern.” In our sample, comprising nearly half of known vertebrate species, 32% (8,851/27,600) are decreasing; that is, they have decreased in population size and range. In the 177 mammals for which we have detailed data, all have lost 30% or more of their geographic ranges and more than 40% of the species have experienced severe population declines (>80% range shrinkage).
We're talking about reasonably priced broadband services, no need to be pedantic or literal.

You can always put money on the lottery several times, win, buy your own satellite and have your own DTH service. Or kill yourself, so that you no longer need internet.

So no, there isn't always a choice in broadband service. And most times, there isn't a choice at all.
Wouldn't this basically be a form of economic tort? If so, I doubt Google would want to be on the receiving end of the legal consequences.
Ha, just passing along a tired old joke :). I personally never saw the show myself but plenty of shows had a good time making fun of it (Home Improvement, Red Green Show (?)) I guess I stopped watching TV after the 90s sitcoms stopped so my references are old and tired.
Seems like both of you are doing what I plan to do once I finish my Udacity SDC Nanodegree course. I've known for a while (ever since AI Class and ML Class in 2011) that I need a refresher and more on math, because ML. This Udacity course just drove it home.

I'm tired of hearing about "take the derivative" and "perform the integral" (or whatever), and not quite understanding it. Heck, just what I wrote probably indicates I don't quite get it!

Also, my intuition on probabilities and statistics isn't there either, so I want to do something to fix that as well. So, when I finally get done - that's my next goal (after a bit of a break).

It isn't that I'm terrible at math, I just never used much beyond basic linear algebra after leaving high school. I never went much beyond high school: I got an associates from a tech school (worthless, since the school is long defunct), and I've taken a few community college courses, plus my online MOOC stuff that's more recent.

I'm not hurting career-wise; in fact, that's never been an issue as a software engineer (started when I was 18, and just kept going, earning more over time and having fun). I'm not doing bad right now, living in Phoenix. It ain't SV - but then again, it doesn't have the downsides of it, either (not that there aren't certain downsides).

Now - after having done MOOCs in ML/AI - I am finding that I need more understanding and intuition about calculus and other mathematical subjects, so I can really apply what I have learned, and understand it at a deeper level, and perhaps do more with it. I've given thought to going back for a BS and maybe an MS (not that I need it - I just want to do it).

Good luck to both of you; I hope it all works out great!
I remember reading this excellent little book with very easy to understand explanations of some of the basics re. permutations and combinations, back in school:

The world should have a national holiday in his honor. Possibly more deserved then any other human in history.
C only introduced the ability to mix declarations and statements in 1999, and not all compilers caught up with C99 right away.

By that time, C had long been a popular language, in spite of demanding that, just like in Pascal, local variables have to be defined at the opening of a new block scope, after which only statements follow.

This is actually a good idea; I avoid mixed declarations and statements in C programming.

Also, mixed declarations and statements are against the Linux kernel coding guidelines and are diagnosed. Yet countless people hack on the Linux kernel for fun and profit.

When I really need some tightly scoped local variable in C, I introduce a little scope with a new braced compound statement, just like `(let` in Lisp. This has the advantage that you determine where the scope ends, not only where it begins. You know: from line 27 this 75 line function, down to line 53, and that's it, not all the way down to line 75.

The mainstream dialect of lisp known as Scheme has a define construct which lets you create new scopes with local variables at the same level of nesting. (Scheme compilers transliterate these defines-s to nested let for you). Yet Scheme is not taking over the world. This aspect rarely even comes up as a topic.
