> Because on Unix systems, the CLI commands are not archaic and you can move way faster than a GUI using them.

I use the keyboard to operate the Windows GUI though and Windows is definitely known for having better accessibility hooks than any other system. I am confident that I can operate my GUIs faster than a CLI user for a broad range of tasks. It's certainly faster than looking up commands.

> I'm comparing it to Mac.

Well I use Macs too. I think the touchpad is extremely overrated since you have to take your hands off the keyboard to use it. I'd rather operate the entire system with my keyboard, something that Macs don't let you do as easily as Windows where knowing a few simple principles let you do everything. I have a Mac Pro besides my Macbook Pro and I'd have to buy a separate trackpad to operate that and where would I put it? That's annoying.

Speaking of multiple monitors, I don't think even Sierra lets you soft-disable monitors yet. Windows has had this since forever. It's so annoying that I have to physically unplug my Mac from the monitor or else I can't use the monitors built-in KVM to share it with other computers because the Mac will still think the monitor is there and open windows on it. I won't buy a third party program for it either (for reasons).

> It's a jumbled mess of colours and rectangles.

No, it's not. Knolling [1,2] is a well known process for arranging objects and that's what the start screen/menu lets you do. (I use the full screen).

It's way better than Apple's launchpad that you can't even organize the way you want. It's launchpad and spotlight all in one.

Anyway, it just sounds like we have different problems - I don't plug either of my laptops into external monitors (unless mirroring on a projector), so I don't have your problem. You don't have my problem because you probably don't have a Mac desktop that you'd like to share monitors with your PCs. I could talk for hours about all of my problems an every OS. None of them are perfect and it really comes down to "what do you need it to do for you easily most of the time and can it do that without a problem?"

I'd read a show HN thread.
HN culture strongly discourages unsubstantive comments like "wow, this is great" that don't add to the conversation. It's hard to comment positively and substantively on a story like this, because it requires you to understand the subject matter well enough to describe some interesting feature, or bring up related work. It's usually much easier to find a flaw, or something that looks like a flaw to fellow non-experts.

This comment section actually seems ok, but usually you'll see mostly neutral or negative comments.

This is bad ass. 777 wing test.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rak2HldVp9M

That amount of deflection is insane, you'd never see that in normal flight. (Pilot here.)

The article mentions “turbulence penetration speed” or Vb and "maneuvering speed" or Va. Simplistically these are speeds below which the wing will stall before it breaks. The wing is designed to gradually stall in these conditions not abruptly. You really won't feel it unless you know what you're looking for and you're reasonably experienced as a pilot. The wing just kinda gradually craps out rather than being over stressed, and just as quickly starts to fly normally again.

Seriously the plane can structurally take extreme turbulence when flown at or below the proper safety speed, even though by definition at extreme turbulence the pilot is just along for the ride (the plane is not considered controllable with extreme turbulence, you get to pick a speed and kinda sorta a general direction, you don't get to control the altitude or the attitude). I've not experienced extreme turbulence and have no desire to, but have been in severe turbulence and don't need to do that again. But the plane is alright.
> this is mathematically a bit cleaner

But also misleading. Bootstrapping requires making assumptions about term structure [1].

> OIS is generally closer to LIBOR than a Treasury yield curve is

After the crisis the Libor-OIS spread was observed as an indicator of bank instability. They're close, but not the same. When they diverge, it's for reasons incredibly important to certain users of Libor. You're correct in the OIS rate being better than the Treasuries for estimating banks' borrowing costs.

And yet "rude" itself has also changed -- from meaning "unsophisticated" to meaning something more along the lines of "obnoxious".
My take, and it's worth what you paid for it which is nothing, is that he was genuine in his opinions. I didn't get that he had a conservative axe to grind (I did get a sense that he might lean that way) but it didn't seem like he was trying to move the needle to the left or to the right, he was trying to find a better way to do what google was trying to do.

What I'm trying to say is that I think the conservative media picked him, he didn't pick them.

So yes, I think he would have taken the money. Google could have made this go away for what was a rounding error to them but retirement money to him. Nobody says no to their retirement even if they don't want to retire. It's called fuck you money for a reason, you never have to put up with a crap job again if you have that backstop.

Are you serious? This is exactly the criticism leveled against the left. They've abandoned free speech, they judge people based on race, they've ignored working class voters in favor of coastal elites, yet they keep telling themselves they're "liberal."
You don't have to be in UTC, but having your clock set to 24 hours still makes it a lot easier.

After a year of daily meetings with people on the east coast (of the US), London, Hamberg, and Brasilia from the west coast of the US I just moved to 24 hours and found it much easier to mentally calculate everyone's respective times- as long as I could keep the offsets squared away.

Screw daylight savings.
Admitting uncertainty or having probabilities isn't unscientific, but saying something is outside the realm of normal physics with no evidence is. Sure, psychology as we know it may be flawed, but retail, advertisers, etc. have a pretty good track record of systematically achieving results based on predictable human behaviors.
I mis-speak constantly. However..on further reflection you are probably right. We should ALL care..but the only people who do care in actuality will probably be the locals and the ever stalwart Surfrider foundation
What are the other machines that are close to free? I know about Librem Purism, but I seem to remember another thing is being funded that might be based off of Risc or something.
Oh I misread the "Direct access to game API section", I thought they meant making it so that the machine can only see "what's on their screen", so if someone were to cast a long range skill for instance they wouldn't get that information. Which is a distinct advantage for machines.

That is indeed, by no means trivial. I do think it's pointless though, that's just another exercise for the sake of making it another exercise.

It would be quite the trick to take out multiple AZs, much less all of them in a single region. They’re spread out within the region in virtually all cases.

Electricity is already burned purposelessly. It's called heat.

In the future you will see that the only profitable miners are ones who can "sell" their heat, i.e. using it for greenhouses or other applications.
Especially for Shadow Fiend, which, for those who don't know, gets extra damage for every last-hit. If you're good at it, you can have extra damage equating to a late game item as an early game character.
Bandcamp should be viewed as the indie record store of the digital age. It's can keep it's cool without being fancy, and niche users will spend money there to support the bands that they personally enjoy. Additionally, band camp doesn't require nearly the same server load that a social media company would, nor anything fancy technically.

Twitter on the other hand could never have been built without being venture funded from the beginning, the growth of their product was only possible because it could scale and have the kind of uptime it did, and that venture funding allowed them to hire the engineering talent that made it all possible. Maybe now, twitter could lay off 90% of their staff and figure something out, but it seems pretty unlikely that would be the case.
Yes there is definitely room for discussion on what the best approach should be. Unfortunately the author of the memo comes across as trying to push a specific agenda (multiple paragraphs condescendingly railing against "leftist ideology", for example) and misses the opportunity to actually discuss the merits of Google's hiring programs.

Favicons rainbowing up my top tab just acts as even more distractions. It only helps marginally because if you open 10 stackoverflow tabs, you would still need to open each one to see what’s what. That’s why Safari has the tabs overview view that shows you what’s inside. You can’t tell exactly, but you can most of the time.

Then some enterprising lawyer should arrange a class action lawsuit on behalf of one-off independent musicians against the labels for those labels interfering in the independent musicians' ability to exercise their copyrights.
yes, the goal behind what you are trying to accomplish makes sense.

I think I'm still not understanding how you are making a cold call, over the phone, to a complete stranger, and somehow getting them to start talking about problems they may have without there being a purpose (from their point of view) to why they're talking to you in the first place.
>Is that really the next step or was he just throwing out a random example people could understand?

More of the latter than the former. He was talking more in broad strokes about ai research in general then this specific project.
That was my point. GP mentioned trademarks for no reason and I said that the DMCA is a copyright law (that's what the C stands for), and that trademark law is irrelevant to this discussion. I also agree that even if trademarks mattered in this case, it still wouldn't be infringement.

On the other hand, it looks like it was an improper use of the DMCA because they're claiming that EasyList is an anti-circumvention tool (effectively arguing that it breaks DRM).
These types of MOBA games are a good precursor of military unit management.

Not really.

There may be some limited use cases where this beats traditional sandboxing, wargaming or milsim. However, the primary distinction is that DOTA and the likes have fixed rule sets (albeit large and complex), and a near infinite number of simulations that can be run, wherein the actual "battle" will conform to those rule sets and play variability.

It may not seem like it, but we (military) only have a tiny slice of possible data from the past few hundred years, that would be appropriate to train a DNN on. Not only that, there are few wars that conform to previous war patterns. There are some constants, and we study those, but they don't really give you what you need for troop movements and tactics the same way as is done in DOTA.
How do you know it's not doing that already? I was under the assumption that open ai agents interacted with the environments through vnc.
Video is relevant to the article.

The English-speaking world often thinks so.
I don't know that they specifically said there was no domain-specific knowledge. iirc they said they didn't "teach it the rules of dota" but they also said the training involved "coaching". I interpret that to include showing the bot useful techniques (like creep blocking) which the AI then learned leads to higher win rates, etc.

TS are heavily schema oriented unless you are talking about logs and then you aren't really talking about the classical notion of a TS database where aggregates are important. There isn't a NoSQL database that does them well.

I think balance is a bigger problem than people realize. It's much harder than you'd think, and the most common way of balancing things is to simply make them more "samey".

I was part of the Warcraft 3 beta. When it started all the races felt so unique. It's a bit foggy now but I think, for example, all the elves buildings - which appeared tree like - would automatically regenerate. Once they started balancing the game, all these special traits fell away. All the races were homogenized and despite still being different, all played much more similarly. Honestly, it ruined the game for me. I feel if I had just picked it up upon release I would have enjoyed it, but watching all these unique traits and play styles fade away made me realize what could have been.
"No soul ring" has been a traditional rule for 1v1 competitions since at least TI3 [1]. It doesn't necessarily make sense for Shadow Fiend play, but it can make some other hero matchups, like Bane and Omniknight, drag out forever.

The shrine is inactive for the first five minutes of a normal game, so it's a non-factor in most 1v1 matchups.

I think it's scarily close to happening, or already has. Just the other day I saw the Drone Racing League on one of ESPN's alternative channels, and all I could think about was how effective they would be as kamikaze bombs. If these people can race drones up to 150+ mph and turn sharp corners through obstacles, then the military is already two steps ahead.

Sometimes people prefer to label dota as an ARTS:
Action Real Time Strategy.

Some people dislike the MOBA nomenclature because it comes from Riot (maker of League of Legends; a clone of dota). In addition the term is pretty vague. Call of Duty, Starcraft, and DotA could all technically be “MOBAS”.

ARTS describes it a little better but I don’t think that term is great either.
You realize that posting that here could invoke a Streisand effect, right?
I usually tell them that I'm doing research in the field and need first hand interviews, or something similar. If you can find a story or reason that is plausibly true about why you want to interview them, then that works as well.
From her personal perspective and that of vicariously raising a daughter, she agrees that females tend to have certain seemingly innate preferences. However (like me) she does not believe that these preferences limit the potential of an individual, but they do provide insight into why the distribution of professions is skewed between the sexes for several fields (both in the favor of males or females depending on the field). Ill have to ask her opinion about the quora piece, but in my opinion there were a few red flags, and for a scientist the tone was not very objective and carried more than a hint of personal bias.

"That said, the argument in the document is, overall, despicable trash." < not scientific

"what appears to be a covert alt-right agenda" < this shows both a misunderstanding of the alt-right and the memo author, who hold two distinct systems of belief (in the author's memo IIRC he claims to be a classic liberal).

"based on extremely weak evidence" < prove it?

"completely fails to understand the current state of research" < prove it?

"makes repugnant attacks on compassion and empathy" < not scientific

"paradoxically insists that authoritarianism be treated as a valid moral dimension, whilst firmly rejecting any diversity-motivated strategy that might remotely approach it." < what?

etc
Some people dislike that term. Many people in the dota community prefer ARTS over MOBA. Though yes, technically it’s a MOBA; many other games could be MOBAs because it’s fairly vague.
I get in a lot of arguments with dudes who believe they have a right to stuff other people made without payment or consequence. The last one I remember is a bunch of DJs who didn't want to get permission to use samples.

I find the arguments pretty spurious and it's best not to engage.

It's their website. If you don't like their website, we got a whole other internet to enjoy.
This absolutely depends on how much your time is worth. You're right that saving money on car purchases might not be worth it all that much to someone who makes $200 an hour.

However, careers are what sort of determine how much our time is worth...so it generally ALWAYS makes sense to shop for multiple job offers.
Even if what Damore wrote was "long-debunked", it's the sort of thing that a pretty big chunk of the U.S. population believes to be more-or-less accurate. Lots of people are wrong about things and don't know it. Them being wrong does not justify an attempt to burn them at the stake; it justifies an attempt to calmly yet firmly explain the errors in the subjects' beliefs (and then maybe burn them at the stake - figuratively, plesse, not literally - if they choose to ignore the counterevidence).

Having read the memo, I rather strongly disagree with the "toxic jerk" characterization you've given. Yammering fool, sure, but not (deliberately) malicious.
Random OT fact of the day:

The man on the cover is wearing one of those mirrors on his forehead that you often see in older photos of doctors. Thanks to Google and Wikipedia, I can now report what it is called ("head mirror") and what it was used for (to provide illumination for ear, nose, and throat exams). [1]

They would be useful for making agreements across a large imbalance of power. For example, if I am a one-person operation selling on Amazon, and they screw me over in a clever way, I could not afford to fight them in court. Even if they would have lost, I might simply be incapable of pursuing the case to the end.

I personally would much rather use smart contracts for making deals with employers, the overlords of the marketplaces, foreign clients, etc. Maybe it's just because I'm a programmer, but I would rather fail because of my own bug, than get screwed over and Nelson-laughed at by a bunch of powerful people. I can improve my contract-coding methodology, but I can't do much about other people's shadiness.
The article is from July 21, which wasn't too long ago.
Various States will have varied rules, but it is generally free. The Feds will also have stats for interstate routes.

In my case, the data was existent. I'd later collect data. Data is not just throughout, but even contains data from things like a reflectometer, sign frequency, and adjustments for specific locations.

The data collected is, for this sort of thing, paid for by the municipality and can be examined at your local municipality, where applicable. The specific department, and location, will vary but our reports were public information. Your department of transportation has copies, where applicable.

I didn't do much in the way of design. I modeled. This is what will happen if you do this, this is what will happen if you do that, and if you want these results you should consider doing these things. They don't always listen.

We also did modeling for things like disasters. A recent example would be the bridge collapse in Atlanta, GA. Most of the public thought it was going to be a nightmare. I actually had people argue with me and tell me I didn't know what I was talking about. No, they already have plans on file to deal with the expected congestion from just such an occurrence.

Of course, those plans are usually a bit out of date... In their defense, it's not an inexpensive process. Given the ubiquity of compute cycles, many municipalities are taking some of this in-house.

Your local planning board should be a good start, if you want to learn about your specific area.

Note: I have been out of the industry for about a decade. I am contractually barred from entering the industry again, in any capacity. I do try to keep up with the tech, but that's purely out of curiosity. It is no longer a scholarly or professional pursuit.

Also, any reports we filed are almost certainly still around. They are probably buried in a closet, however. I am not actually sure how municipalities function as well as they do. They are, almost without fail, very disorganized.

Someday, I'll tell you about The Font People. Yes, we even quantify fonts as an impact factor. However, Font People are some of the most unusual characters I've ever met - all of them.

I do miss the data collection and research. But, I haven't worn pants all day. So, it's an acceptable trade off.
The statements are not contradictory - they can have a superior api which doesn't permit 'cheating'. For example they could expose c++ api rather than a lua api for performance concerns. Furthermore some of the api calls (e.g. GetNearbyCreeps) have arbitrary restrictions.
I'm very curious to see how a 5-AI team would "plan" smoke ganks. Really exciting time for technology as deep learning is moving into gaming.

Supposedly Spartans thinned their progeny for that trait.

So, I'd guess it's desirable for martial purposes. But given we're on the path to robotic (foot) soldiers --maybe it won't be of much benefit for long.
