You're just rewording what I said. The coder can simply ignore that string or make it empty, which can lead to a runtime failure if another module depends on a value being returned (think a runtime failure from a non-exhaustive pattern match). If they were a lazy coder in TypeScript, they'll be lazy in Elm (:

So, no, what I said is not "completely false"
LinkedIn takes plenty of technical precautions to block scraping. I’ve built bots that scrape them in the past, it’s surprisingly difficult as LinkedIn is very good at determining you’re a bot and blocking you. So it’s hard to argue that a service which is scraping LinkedIn is doing it without knowledge that they are going against LinkedIn’s wishes. Whether or not this is illegal is up to the courts to determine, and I really hope they decide it is fine (although I have zero faith that’s how the ruling will come down).

That being said, I hate LinkedIn as a company and I fully support anyone trying to mess with them. They are not a social network, they are a sleazy website that convinces people to willingly provide personal information which they then turn around and sell at ridiculously high prices. Even if you are legitimately using LinkedIn as an end-user, it’s easy to get blocked for using it too much and being forced to pay just to interact with people on the site.
As a layman, I am skeptical. This is very similar to the promises that were made regarding 3d printing of other materials, and those weren't quite fulfilled.

Like many hyped new techniques, they end up as techniques that are almost good enough to be practical.
As someone interested in these scenarios, where could I find out more information about what would happen post-nuclear explosion?
Lots of answers so I'll try to address them all here. It was a rethorical question. We know what GitHub offers. I'm not a fan of its UI, particularly on mobile, but that's beside the point.

The point is, why we failed, once more, to have a distributed solution, even when the underlying tech assumes it.

Email was the last widely successful distributed medium. And it's dying, unfortunately.

Of course centralized services are easier to implement and use. Doesn't mean we should settle.
Yes, you are correct! Training benefits much more from available memory through batching and, since in many cases you only need to train once, it usually makes sense to train on beefy GPUs.

TensorFire is useful in situations where you want to perform inference, but you don't want to ship user-supplied data to your servers, either because you would run out of bandwidth, you would run out of compute power, or your users want to keep their data private.
"They're good roots, Pablo."
Not sure what you mean. It's normal that different packages have their own version of a given function, like List.map3, Json.map3 etc. But the implementation is different, so it's not copy-paste. It has to be this way in cases where generic types is not enough and something like interfaces/typeclasses is required.
I think maybe HTML-as-content is declarative, but HTML-as-layout is mostly imperative. I would expect a constraint-solving engine in any declarative layout system. Tables have some minor constraint solving capabilities... So of course we do our best to never use them for layout! Flexbox was definitely a step in the right direction.

I've talked before about an idea to split layout into a new technology, freeing HTML and CSS to only consider content and presentation:

>With every browser implementing its own subset, in its own way, with its own quirks, the requirement to create documents that look and behave consistently across browsers and platforms quickly becomes untenable.

Adding a new thing for all browsers to implement and slowly become consistent on just as CSS is maturing into something great with flexbox and grid support in more browsers doesn't seem to be addressing the quoted problem. ... I assume the author's idea wasn't just that browsers should all adopt Qt's implementation and stick to that one implementation.

If people want QML in webpages, surely that could be implemented on top of JS+HTML+CSS like a web framework. If it as a web framework is shown to work very well for developers and fit the web ecosystem but has some practical issues like performance, then that would be good fuel to motivate browser developers and standards groups to standardize webpages based on QML. If it as a web framework works well and doesn't have intractable performance issues, then ... it could stay as a web framework and become popular if it really does work well for developers. Why saddle browsers with the responsibility to implement more than they need to if HTML+CSS+JS provides a good base for other paradigms to be implemented on top of?
Yes, that would explain most if not all of the 56-ply discrepancy. In the game on my page you can indeed see black making irreversible moves on move 50,100,150, ... 450 and white's first irreversible moves comes only at move 500.
Great. Look forward to diving in tomorrow. Thank you for the quick reply!
Thank you for keeping it gentle. Consensus is very hard to understand, but very easy to break.
This is amazing. I can't use GPU Tensorflow (natively) on my Macbook Pro because it doesn't have an NVIDIA graphics card. But I can... in the browser! Honestly didn't see that one coming.
Yes, but the smallest amount of behavior requires the imperative-by-default javascript, and the design is in pratice decided by the results of the interference of two different declarative languages (HTML + CSS).

It's not the simplest or clearest thing around.
I feel that reddit has enough data to effectively target ads. If I subscribe to /r/cars, chances are I like cars (if I make a post asking "What is the best car to buy for $X?" I'm probably in the market for a new car). If I post in a city subreddit, chances are I live there. If I post in /r/programming, I'm probably a programmer. There are also third-party analyzers that can take a reddit user's data and give a pretty good guess of their demographics based on their public post history as well.

I feel that if someone were to target ads to me based on the subreddits that I subscribe to, they'd be far more relevant to my interests than Facebook ads. Facebook shows me clickbait spam that my friends liked; I almost never see any interesting ads there. Reddit certainly has more advertiser friendly information than Snap does. On Snapchat, you share photos with your friends and Snap knows nothing about you other than your location. Reddit on the other hand has confirmed interests.
Thank you, this is encouraging. I've just ordered the QC35; now hoping for some peace in the open plan office.
While concerning and something to be aware about, they are offering granular privacy settings in place of DNT.

This article severely underestimates the number of deaths by nuclear power by not considering the deaths caused by leakage of radioactive materials over the course of the next 10,000 years. In fact, there really isn't any way to know that number for another 500 years at least.
I'm a fan of QML and use it regularly to build cross-platform mobile apps – however, how would this fair any better than Flash or Silverlight did?

It seems like there needs to be some strategy for how this would roll out to market and feasibly gather market share before I could take the concept seriously.
"verb: entitle

give (someone) a legal right or a just claim to receive or do something.
'employees are normally entitled to severance pay'"

The definition cuts both ways (unfortunately).
Moving manufacturing/construction out of China and into the US increases regulatory oversight. It's very likely that nuclear manufacturing done in the US is cleaner than solar manufacturing done in China.
Get 20 people to pay you 10 cents and let them know.
Hum... Nope, QML has a better DOM (for applications, not text) from the start.
I wish you weren't kidding.
I mostly agree. the traditional method [1] should be honored. but clearly, there are some bad agents out there that ignore the rules and mess things up for everyone. They are pretty clear about their expectations:

> I can't think of a single popular site redesign that actually made the site better.

Depends on your definition of "better".

Facebook has done several redesigns that the audience has groaned about and here we are 1 billion users later. TechCrunch did a large redesign several years, and here we are, still reading TC articles. The list goes on and on...
From the github issue referenced in the FAQ, I think they mean that because TensorFlow only natively supports CUDA, TensorFire may outperform TensorFlow on computers that have non Nvidia GPUs, such as the new MacBook Pro.
Startup Teardown: Less Spockiness, More Alien Fistfights
"Hello! This is Github. Look what we found on your server! HAHAHA!"
I recall Digg did a complete redesign for version 4, even the backend systems and database. And the users abandoned it shortly after launch.
For jeans and dress clothes, I would absolutely prefer custom tailored. T-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, etc aren't worth the hassle. I would also stick with my Nikes/Jordans that are mass produced (I know exactly what size to get). I am unsure about other shoes, but could see where a custom shoe would be great.

>Angular and their ilk are too abstracted for my tastes.

This is my experience learning angular for my latest role.The basic concepts seem easy to grasp but there are so many thing going on "for free" that I can't reason about what is actually happening. I'm hoping it becomes easier with time but the tooling is making things harder than it needs to be.

> as fast as CPU TensorFlow on a desktop

> You can learn more about TensorFire and what makes it fast (spoiler: WebGL)

Does this mean that using a GPU in a browser through WebGL yields the same speed than a desktop CPU?
I love that the syntax doesn't require commas at the end of field assignments to be honest. Anything that lets you copy/cut and paste lines around without having to jump the cursor somewhere after to add things like commas or braces to avoid annoying syntax errors is great. I like significant whitespace languages like Python for the same reason and syntax like OCaml's where you omit brackets for function calls.
So it's like Mad Magazine and was 'at its best' when you first started reading/using it?
> I fear this major re-design will be a mistake. HN is designed similarly to Reddit and if HN ever tried to do a major re-design, I think I would visit it less

I've been a reddit user for 11 years now (and a lurker for a year before that), I think I was the first (and I think only) blogger from my country that wrote about reddit's rewrite from Lisp, I've seen the comments section implemented, the move to programming.reddit.com, the move back to sub-reddits, the exodus coming from digg, the "what has pg had for breakfast?" memes, the Ron Paul memes, the 2006 astroturfing by the Israelis, the 2008 astroturfing by the Russians, the Obama memes in 2008, I've seen it all. As such, I think that the re-design that they're talking about will be a huge mistake. It's enough that they've managed to mess with some users' profile pages which are now unusable (they now look like some sort of FB/MySpace kind of thingies), but making the first page (or the first page of any sub-reddit, for that matter) a mess like FB's front-page will just kill the product for people like me.
Accessibility. Simply by using canvas is like throwing away all human-machine interface support stuff which your OS/browser provide and reminds me times of arty Flash pages with awkward navigation.

> A bar of gold is always a bar of gold, no matter what the price of gold is.

A cryptotoken is still a cryptotoken as long as the network is propagating tx & blocks. The whole point of them is that they continue to function regardless of if the "developer" is around.
Engine blocks will almost certainly remain as a cast part, simply due to the production capacity of casting is orders of magnitude higher than additive manufacturing, as well as being relatively cheap. Metal additive manufacturing is currently used in aerospace to reduce complex assemblies of parts into a single piece, or to make small complex shapes that can't be made by a traditional machining or casting process. Additive manufacturing, for the foreseeable future will not replace load bearing parts as well, mainly due to the different processing steps load bearing parts undergo. It will also most likely stay with aerospace for the time being, since the price per part is prohibitive for automotive use currently.

Dumb question: Have you tried IntelliTrace in VS Enterprise (sadly only available there)? It tries to solve many of the issues you're mentioning. You can even start a remote IntelliTrace debugging session in production.
Competition is not always the best approach, especially for a currency.
I'd rather see a unified and simplified monetary system than "cryptocurrency wars" where vast amounts of "wealth" would just suddenly vanish into thin air, as a myriad of different currencies would struggle for relevance.

It's not like we haven't learned these lessons before in the real world, we have, plenty of times. That's why it's so surprising how keen we seem to be on repeating them in a digital format for the sole sake of having yet another speculative vehicle from which we can deduct some imaginary "economic growth".

Every time I see this, I suspect it's a misreading of systemic privilege. "Universal sin" evokes the idea of "original sin", the idea that because of Adam and (especially) Eve's actions, humanity fell from grace.

If you reject the idea that you are to blame for the sins of your ancestors, you don't immediately see the need to fix the imbalances that resulted from their actions.

This is not wrong, per se (e.g., children shouldn't go to jail if their father commits murder), but it confuses responsibility with culpability.

Men bear responsibility for eliminating sexism even if not personally culpable for creating it.
Solar and wind don't provide predictable power. Even places with high reliance on these tend to have an ongoing dependency on coal (or nuclear) to handle times when supply from renewables drops.
Hi everyone, here's Zestoy - a place for animations, puzzles, games, live backgrounds, toys based on Canvas/WebGL, which you can embed, fork and customize.

You may play each game, embed them on your website by clicking the 6 small images under each game and getting the embed code. To customize and fork: Click the + sign at the bottom right of each game to fork and create your own version by customizing the fields in Settings and Advanced tabs.

We know we still have a lot to build and fix and currently have around two dozen game types but anyway we appreciate your feedback.

a while back I read about someone using such a system to stay in touch with contacts in their professional network. I forget the particulars, but basically he bucketed people he wanted to stay in touch with into (I think) weekly, monthly, quarterly buckets with max numbers of people per bucket and reached out to them at those respective intervals as a spreadsheet.

I think a mix of calendar, multi-channel communication monitoring system to keep track of people I keep in touch with packaged into a "daily task list" interface would be highly valuable for making sure I don't forget to keep in touch with important people in my network.
Steemit.com probably. It literally pays to post or comment there. Still rough around the edges right now, in part because the algorithms aren't as good as Reddit's, and in part because it has a small user base, but it has huge potential.

It's showing a visualization of all the intermediate activations of the style transfer network. The intermediate pictures are 4D, so they're visualized as a sequence of tiles.

The network being run is defined here https://github.com/lengstrom/fast-style-transfer/blob/master...

This post provides a pretty good explanation of what's happening: https://shafeentejani.github.io/2017-01-03/fast-style-transf...

There's a sequence of 9x9 and 3x3 convolutions that transforms that one big input image into a bunch of smaller images. They're processed by a sequence of residual convolutions. Finally, these tiny tiles are merged together back into a stylized image of the same size as the original input with a few deconvolution operations.
Well I would never interview in a style of 'get 5 answers right, you got the job'. So I can't quite tell from your answer :) But yeah that's generally what most working answers would end up like.

One interesting aspect is that in some circumstances (I don't remember the details - one of my colleagues did some tests 10 years ago) it was faster to do it this way (iterate over all cells in order, so better cache locality) but in some it was better to 'draw rectangles' as it were, ie first put in all 1's, then all 2's and so on. Requires no floating point ops but more cache misses (iirc).
I think they could only solve their search problem by hiring an army of minimum wage gif classifiers to curate the attachment tags and labels to each gif.

That would make their search usable, but still not sure what the market for gifs is. I don't see any good way to compel their end users to pay for the service, and ads will fundamentally degrade the utility of the service even further.

They've essentially built a poorly-functioning toy and are getting investors as if they are a B2B SaaS service. What is their value-add? Is there any economic utility in being able to quickly find a gif?

New tab guy reporting in. I just open a few articles at a time, and go to the comments if I feel I need more input on the issue. I haven't noticed it impacting my workflow. I've used RES on and off, but when I install a new browser I always forget to add it, and rarely miss it.
I think the disclaimer would have been appropriate here just for transparency sake. As an employee and likely a shareholder, presumably people will be worried you have an ulterior motive in trying to get people to think of Google in a positive light.

I don't think it's so much about thing people to their companies but more about being transparent so people can form their own opinions. If people just accuse you of hiding that information it details the conversation anyway.

Just my opinion. I also work for Google and am pretty sure they also recommend being transparent when commenting on things related to the company although I admit it's been a while since I read the guidelines.
> it looks like line noise at first, but that is because it's designed to get its job done as efficiently as possible.

Myth: line noise syntax required for efficient machine code.

Teenagers believed this about C versus Pascal in the 1980's. "Stuff like while (* s++ = * d++); looks faster so it must be."

Or else, what do you mean by efficiency?

'nuff said.

Every brand that has a large enough following will run into pitchforks for large redesigns - a lot of people are fans for something.

If you want to do this successfully, take a slice from Facebooks playbook. Their site looks nothing like 10 years ago, yet they somehow did all those radical UI changes gradually over years, always one step at a time, (mostly) listening to their user base inbetween.
I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. But thinking they can/should have the right to press charges against you for trying would be, I hope.
I have also been interested in such a tool, although somewhere -- I can't recall exactly -- I think someone suggested using regular CRM tools like Contactually.
I read once (sorry, don't remember where) that DR priced it that way because CP/M utterly dominated the 8 bit market and felt CPM/86 had the brand name and the technical superiority to charge a higher price.

The miscalculation is that IBM PC sales were mainly to first time users who had no history with CP/M, and (as I mentioned) the technical superiority of CPM/86 was not apparent.
Cadillacs are even worse. I could swear their brake lights run at 20Hz.
And that fueled Reddit's rise, because the Digg users flocked there.
I would say the "alt-right" rejects and anti-social people.
It was up to 75 for a while, and then someone worked out a winning sequence that required more than 75 moves, and there is every reason to believe longer sequences are possible - to work them out is a brute force problem (chess is not mathematically solved)

Note that by winning sequence I mean perfect play on both sides - there are lots of sequences to allow to allow the game to continue longer than it has to.

While you're getting downvoted for the Craigslist aspect, I suspect the rest of your comment is probably right here. There isn't going to be another big Reddit or Digg like community. The audience just seems too fractured for one to take off like it could have done years ago.

So stuff like Voat, the shut down Imzy, Hubski and Snapzu represent parts of what Reddit was, and the different aspects of the site that different communities either enjoyed or now want.
"Mexico garbage barge" sounds like it be a great band name.
There is tons of corporate sponsored content on Reddit but Reddit has learned from Digg's mistakes and made the ads appear like normal posts made by normal users.

Basically Reddit is what happens when product placement ads go to the extreme
