Kinda. The Precision 5520 can be configured with a Xeon E3-1505Mv6 ("better" CPU) but with a Quadro M1200 (Maxwell) instead of the new XPS 9960 with a Pascal GTX 1050 ("worse" graphics, quoted because it depends on workload, pro vs consumer GPUs but the pro stuff here is a generation older...they'll probably update it soon). The Precision 7720 can be had with an E3-1535Mv6 and a Quadro P5000 (similar to a GTX 1070, and Pascal), but it's a 17" and thicker. https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-P5000.191073.0.h...
You agree to the terms of service when you sign up.

If you're talking about making anonymous requests to their service, they only allow a few of those before they stop showing you profiles. If you circumvent that protection, it's a bit more like hooking a cable up to a power line (illegal) or dumping your commercial waste in the sewer (illegal).

I'm not familiar with the author, but writing a programming book has got to have the worst possible effort to return value ratio if one's goal is solely self-promotion. I'm disinclined to believe anyone would put in that kind of time if that's what they were going for.
I see what you mean
Take a random sample of machines and compare a number of pretend-votes to the outcome. But if cars change their behavior based on detecting a test environment, how would you trust a voting machine to not do something similar?

In the end a trusted minor miscount would be less bad than a count that is widely untrusted despite being correct: one would mean living through a "what if some people would have cast a different vote" alternative reality, the other would be a full blown legitimacy crisis, with unconstrained cheating in the next election as the least bad of all possible outcome.

Just stick to paper ballots.

It doesn't have to be a "crappy manual system" - I'm simply suggesting that given that git itself is a damned good distributed versioning database for arbitrary content, then we might as well also use it for distributed issue-tracking. A simple offline-mode browser-based editor that lives in a single HTML file within the repo would provide a nice GUI on top.

Hmm, I think I might be on to something... anyone want to start a project?
I disagree with your analogy. To me, the key word in "HTTP request" is request. A request is something that can be granted or not.

Google was still a fairly young company at that point. Reddit is 12 years old and had a $1.6B valuation prior to this $200M infusion. They've already achieved growth.

The "America = world police" trope is overplayed. Every nation uses its influence to assert its agenda; the U.S. simply has the most resources, and as far as agendas go, the U.S.'s has been one of the most mutually beneficial.

> For machine learning Tensor Cores in the upcoming Volta GPUs seem much better idea, delivering 120 TFLOPS.

Yes, but the real-world benchmark numbers nvidia published show a much smaller speedup than one would expect if one looked only at the 120TFLOPS number.

This is because (a) "tensor core" is just a fancy name for "fast 4x4 matmul instruction" -- it's not applicable to everything you might do on the GPU, and (b) memory bandwidth did not increase commensurate with compute speed.

(I work on the XLA GPU compiler in TensorFlow.)

If being active in the community means brown nosing on irc then sure, they have been super active.

IMHO someone which actually contributes high quality libraries or code to said community should be valued more, yet these are usually the last people you would ever see slapping their name on a book. They are happy to just improve the existing documentation and contribute that way.

Then of course you have the ilk of people who think a community will only exist if everyone adopts the contributor covenant while having daily kumbaya meetups ....

Yes and no. If you're a factory worker you aren't often given a lot of room (or, especially, time) to try to innovate. You have a task, you need to complete that task, and you need to get it done using a specific method. Any other method could break legal requirements, require recertification, et al.

> 2 Questions! What's the index data structure that holds old enum values even after the value itself is not used anymore?

It's not that index structure specific atm, even though it could possibly be avoided for some types (e.g. hash, although there's considerable visibility issues to make that possible). Consider e.g. a btree index, if the deleted enum value ends up in an inner page, you really need to know how it compares to know where to descend to.

> Secondly, what are your thoughts on using enum generally? Would you recommend them in cases where you don't need to really optimise for narrower columns?

I like using them. There's cases where the transactional restrictions make it too problematic, but other than that I think the documentational advantage is substantial, besides just the width.
This is EXTREMELY unlikely. Even when things go wrong.

It may currently be extremely unlikely -- due to the very regulations and processes you are decrying. But, if people like you get their way, the odds go up of seriously bad things happening.
That argument has been tried in a variety of ways and been shot down in court repeatedly. (there are parallels to tenants not agreeing to the terms of their internet connection where the landlord provided it).

LinkedIn has two things that they do which protect them; First, they specify they disallow access in their robots.txt file. While not a binding agreement per se it is the default mechanism that is accepted by the community for apriori identifying whether or not automated access is possible. Second, when they detect an access pattern that violates their terms of service they actively block the access proactively notify the source of the violation.

The sad truth is that web scraping has been around since the very beginnings of the Web back in 1993 and this question has been litigated in every way that you might choose to argue it, the body of case law is enough to fill at least two volumes in the reference section of the library.

There is no legal or ethical basis for scraping the web without permission. And if it isn't explicitly allowed by a site the presumption is that it is disallowed (no 'open door' exception).
i'd start by plugging "key blank" into your favorite search engine. if that fails you horribly, you can buy brass all over the internet: http://www.onlinemetals.com/ https://www.metalsdepot.com/ mcmaster-carr, or amazon. i suggest a pair of calipers, too.
Legally, I think scrappers should respect robots.txt
I apologize. Perhaps I should have been less colloquial with my writing. My meaning was meant to generally imply a lack of usage by the main stream population. Niche users who are generally early believers / proponents of a decentralized currency like Bitcoin, which I should point out I very much am and hold definitive stake within, don't count.

Until Bitcoin as a whole stabilizes, the original vision that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that soon arised were meant to advocate for, will never be realized.

I'm not sure I can any more strongly say that you need to get this URL into these videos using whatever tools you can, whatever tools the platform provides. If someone misses it because of the ineffectiveness of the platform, you still get credit for trying!

I assume it should also be the very first thing in the video description at this point. You are losing many more people who would never take the time to share this issue with you due to stale content! (There's a reason it's half-way to the top on your announcement of part 2...)

The solution to those who are irked on both sides is to stop just throwing around "terminator is relevant" and "terminator is irrelevant" and to say why you think it's relevant, or why you think it's not relevant. Then you can discuss the meat of your thoughts and not their origin.
LinkedIn's purpose is not to help you as a worker. It's purpose is to scrape together as much personal information about people as possible to make money from it.

Likewise Facebook doesn't exist to help connect people together to create a more personal, connected world. It exists to connect people so that they can get the users to share as much personal information as possible, so they can profit from that information.

It's always important to remember that on social media you are the product. You have to weigh what you benefits it is really providing vs. what you are giving up.
It may seem like it but is actually not. CEO and board members are not legally required* to maximize "shareholder value." That is just a myth.

I have used it. JavaFX is pretty good.

The same is true for Microsoft's XAML, except XAML is a general-purpose configuration language for describing a collection of .NET objects -- in some ways it is comparable to Spring in Java.

Way back in the day, Visual Basic was a system for "writing simple code that creates a collection of objects", most famously for GUIs.
Perhaps more clearly would be any HTTP request that LinkedIn believes is in violation of their terms of service will be denied. It can be hard to know when the first request arrives if it is someone scraping the site or not, but once it is clear that it is someone scraping they actively deny all future requests. If they could know that the request coming in was going to be a scrape and not a page view they would preemptively deny it.

>those who do deserve it just work away at the problems and add value to whatever they put their hands on.

I think you're missing the point entirely, because that statement is extremely vague. "Just keep working" is what you're saying, but it highly depends upon what kind of 'work' you're doing, and how you're doing it. Politics, and human nature gets in the way of that whole notion that those who deserve a promotion, get one. Guidelines probably won't help with that, but its always good to demand anyways.
The doctor that I often end up seeing refused to let me leave once without a handful of steroid samples: he took my insistence to not be prescribed them for a form of walking pneumonia we both agreed would go away on its own in a couple days and for which nothing could really be done as some kind of indication that I couldn't afford them, so he scavenged random remnants of samples he had around... and also gave me a "just in case" prescription for that antibiotic I didn't need or want. This is even after we had specifically done a test in the office that both he and I knew meant I had a specific mycobacterial issue that this antibiotic couldn't be effective against... I just don't get it :/.
Our anatomy evolved to work on almost all surfaces. The early homo erectus that could not run on a surface was genetically less fit.

Scientists Edge Closer To Lab Test For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Seriously, there's zero reason that we don't have small portable safe nuclear reactors to power neighbourhoods and large oceangoing vessels by now. Since ocean freight liners and oil tankers produce a large portion if not the largest portion of the current air pollution, it just makes sense to get them completely off of diesel and bunker fuel and equip them with small nuclear reactions, something like a LFTR would be perfect... had we spent the last 40-50 years researching them.

Thankfully, at least China has picked up the slack with LFTR research and hope to have something going within the next 5-10 years. Maybe then the rest of the world will wake up.
> IMHO someone which actually contributes high quality libraries or code to said community should be valued more

I think you're underestimating a number of things that are not visible on github yet can definitely have a positive effect on the community:

1) evangelizing a technology you believe in (something I've been known to do, on here and elsewhere)

2) organizers of meetings, confs and get-togethers

3) guys who help all the time on IRC and Slack in the relevant channels (something I've also been known to do, because I enjoy mentoring yet sort of abhor the spotlight)

4) book authors... has Dave Thomas been a big committer of elixir code? I don't think so, and yet his Programming Elixir book is considered one of the best

5) a lot of other stuff that is simply not very visible, such as Jose trying to make the community more inclusive
TBH I'm not sure if I follow your argument. You can certainly apply the main idea of this article (modeling a FSM as a user defined aggregate) to automatically materialize the latest state of each order. In fact, that's what we're doing in the app we're using this technique in.

Anyway, YMMV and I'm not recommending to apply the ideas in this article in every situation. But after having had all of this logic in the application layer before migrating to Postgres, I find this approach more maintainable.

> Elm, again, forces you to write runtime type validation

But it does not force you to handle failures correctly (as your lazy programmer example proves). Forcing you to handle a Left value from an Either type is not the same as forcing you to handle a Left value correctly.

Elm doesn't save you from bad failure handling, which is what the post I replied to claimed.

What Elm does do is remind you that you should handle failures, which I think is very valuable and I'm not arguing against (and is what you're arguing for). But you still need to write a correct handler, and Elm won't force you to do that!
The article suggests that the United Auto Workers union is involved:

That is disputed. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident#Rel... for claims from critics that official accounts of the exposure were low by a factor of 100 to 1000.

Regardless of which version of the facts you consider more believable, the public was scared witless of the possibility that there was an exposure. As a result millions of people were left with the concern that they could get cancer decades down the road. This public fear is also the most important impact of a dirty nuclear bomb used as a terrorist weapon. Very few of people will get sick, and fewer still will die. But lots will be scared.
My personal way of helping myself is to first of all realize everybody feels like shit, do lame things, has moments of weakness, etc.

Once you've really really realized that ( knowing it is not enough, you have to know people that seem brilliant and successful and find out how shite or vulnerable they sometimes feel), you start to be a little less ashamed of your own weaknesses.

Another good thing is your start to be a lot more tolerant and human, and, well, less of an asshole.

You also become less afraid of failing, which lets you try more things.
We didnt fail, nobody built it (probably from lack of demand).

> Overstock, Steam, lots of VPS and VPN services, as well as many other online stores take bitcoin.

Under current US tax laws, every time you purchase something with BTC, you need to calculate the cost basis in that individual lot of BTC and then determine if capital gains taxes are owed, and if so, then remember to include them on your tax return for the year. Do you have the discipline to do this? I don't. Hopefully the laws change to become more pragmatic in the future, but until then, it's pretty much DOA if you want to remain totally tax compliant.
Personally, I think Tesla doesn't want a push towards unionization because fundamentally, the end game is all about automating away current factory workforce. A union being implemented would make this a lot more difficult.
Credit card companies and retailers have sold anonymized purchasing data for years to help companies analyze online ad clicks to offline spend.

Auto companies have used Polk vehicle registration data and data aggregators to match a vehicle purchase to the user's online ad clicks. They compare how showing ads for certain models influences your car purchase (ex. Honda CRV) from your initial search (best family sedan) and demographic info (FB data indicates you are an avid runner, 2 kids, 1 dog, etc..). Retailers employ a similar model for basket size.

There are partners like Oracle Data Cloud, Nielsen Catalina Solutions, Neustar and LiveRamp (ex. IdentityLink http://identity.liveramp.com) that provide similar data for O2O measurement.
A Bigger Mathematical Picture for Computer Graphics
The US moved to electronic voting in part due to the Florida vote counting fiascos in 2000. Electronic voting machines prevent users from making undervotes and overvotes (picking no candidates, picking more than one candidate). The machines also prevent the hanging chad issue in 2000 where the voters intention was unclear. Electronic voting machines also enable blind voters to cast votes without assistance giving them privacy and assurance that their vote wasn't tampered with. Paper voting can also have it's own security weaknesses like ballot stuffing.
