I agree that it's a software problem, but most vendors aren't in apple's position of controlling every single link of the chain.

I do think it'll get better over time. NFC/tap pairing will eventually replace Menu + Manual Madness, show-stopping bugs will get fixed, capability sets will stabilize, conventions will develop to smooth over variation in UI choices, "worse is better" decisions will be unwound, and eventually it'll be a smooth experience and people will wonder how they ever lived with wires. If my own experiences are typical of even a tiny minority of users, however, that day is still disappointingly far off.
> In languages which don't have a GIL, threads are almost as capable as processes, but lighter weight.

But also plagued with shared state concurrency bugs, something multi-processing completely avoids so...

> Threads are almost always preferable to processes in most languages.

No, they aren't. It's too easy to write buggy code with threads, it's a flawed model. Now it's certainly true that more people choose threads than processes but that's because they vastly overestimate their ability to write bug free lock based code. Processes are better.
It's more nuanced than that. The per click and per display prices are tied to user behavior.

Then what are you saying? Should Google be "xxxxx" to accept Stormwhatever? What is "xxxxx"? Honest question, what are you proposing?

And doing so per the conditions specified by the US government.

First Amendment lawyer Ken White describes the Daily Stormer as a "sewer of humanity." In a statement to Ars, he argued that the article about Heyer "is repulsive, and arguably advocates for killing people in general, but it's not actionable incitement under the law. GoDaddy, of course, can kick Nazis off its platform as it likes, though."

This type of headline is why large enterprises are often careful about working with unproven 3rd parties. And consequently why the enterprise sales cycle feels so slow and bureaucratic.

Be aware that the open-source driver currently only supports headless mode on Vega. You have to use the proprietary driver to actually use the card for video output.
Exactly. This edges Google closer towards monopoly status and competition laws, I think.

But I wonder where on the internet unpopular speech will be hosted?

Even if the UN (and nations) declare internet a human right, where will content be hosted? Will the UN be able to force nations to change their laws to not persecute unpopular speech?
You guys almost get it. Keep going. What if instead of allowing American workers to suffer and businesses to trade capital around regulations at labor's expense, everyone, even overseas workers, were protected instead? Too misty eyed? Dream bigger.

Most of these are of little importance. The German army had swept through France with ease. They could have finished off the British forces, as the generals wanted to - Hitler's intervention is the key reason in my view.
Getting a little tired of these 'exposure will cure-all' type of comments. The only thing accomplished by not quashing sites like Daily Stormer is desensitizing us to them which only leads to legitimizing.
I was thinking about your post yesterday, thanks for it :) Sorry, I didn't clarify with what I meant by "visualising." When you think of an abstract entity, like a foreign word for example, you can sort of grasp what it means when you have it translated. But you can't do that with the imaginary number. You can only get a 'feel' of what it is when it's set in context, like the expressions you gave, and even then the application is still in a math world (geometric (?) space.)

In hindsight, I think that I approached it wrong, and it was far too simplistic anyway. I've been reading popular maths books lately and it's made me realise that there are more ways than just visualisation to understand something. Ironically (a happy one!) this is making me excited about maths for the first time in my life.

TL;DR: DreamHost was issued a warrant to produce any and all content+logs+metadata about a customer-hosted website that presumably may have been related to violent protests/riots in Washington DC circa Jan 20th (Trump inauguration day). They pushed back on the overly broad nature of the warrant, the DOJ pushed the courts to then "compel" DH to comply.
Im 32 and have 4 kids. I would love to excel at this program and reach high coding experience. I really am struggling economicly.
Those reasons aren't what they used to be, resources aren't nearly as limited these days and we now have the hindsight to see that threads lead to very buggy code due to shared state. Processes are better.
What are these, please?

> If industry A has a 50/50 ratio and industry B 80/20, women in industry B will experience 4 times as much sexual harassment per person.

Right, 4x of nearly 0 is still nearly 0. 4x of a problematic number is 4x as problematic. So your implicit argument, "even if men in both industries are exactly as screwed up" is a pivot point here.

Sexual harassment is illegal, unfair and unacceptable. Pretend for a moment (and I am pretending, I do not agree with this line of thinking) we agree with the biological essentialists and "men" are just more likely to go into software engineering. Given such a precondition, they actually have an obligation to be less "screwed up" than their counterparts in other more evenly distributed groups just to provide the same (legally and ethically mandated) standard of work to women.

So I don't see how your line of thinking is informative. Either SV doesn't meet the same standard as everyone else and needs to improve. OR, SV is naturally obligated to have a higher standard than everyone else just to be in compliance with the law and basic ethical requirements. Either way, we deserve censure as an industry.

If we genuinely believe in an industry based on merit and ethics, then either condition compels improved standards and expectations of conduct. So the outcome is the same, no matter what.

When you feel strongly about something and write about it, you aren't virtue signalling, you're expressing your view. If you have any reason to take the rather uncharitable stance that his views on Trump are inauthentic, then post them, otherwise it's better just to assume that people who say things you disagree with actually think those things rather than are just saying them to look good.

Accusing others of "virtue signaling" is a much clearer example of "virtue signaling" in my opinion, since it's a particular population that tends to do it, and is used primarily to put down those they disagree with and mark them as belonging to a different group rather than to actually make any kind of meaningful point.

I believe the cheap glove I first had as a kid was not even real leather. At least, it didn't feel like leather I was used to (Saddles, boots, horse tack, etc) but the cheap leather you find on well, anything cheap. Almost like a plastic.

We had them for 3-4 seasons before they got stowed. When I stowed mine, the weave for the net between the first finger and thumb was coming undone and a few years later, the gloves were incredibly stiff and tore. We ended up pitching them (no longer played baseball and they were cheap) but when we did, I found my father's glove and it still worked (it was stored with the cheap ones). A little oil and it was back like new (or at least, new when I got it from him)

P Equals NP (The MAD Paradox)
Well, cuDNN doesn't run on AMD cards, so if you want your software to have good performance on all consumers' systems (as well as avoiding being vendor-locked), cuDNN isn't an option. Also, you have to get explicit permission from NVIDIA to redistribute cuDNN (though that reportedly is a formality).

Not being vendor locked in is pretty nice if the competition releases a 22 TFLOPS (fp16) card for only 400 USD. Well, they could have released it, if they had working fp16 support in their driver, sigh.
I just bought $40 bluetooth earbuds that required RTFMing to pair, don't hold the pair between workouts, take a minute to perform the ritual, and use friction to anchor themselves to my ear so thy fall off the moment I start sweating. Oh, and they need to be recharged.

I have similar stories for every single bluetooth device that I have ever tried, which amounts to probably a dozen peripherals and half that many hosts. I've had fleeting moments of "it's magic" to punctuate the sea of crap so I'm fully on board with the potential of the technology, but it has continued to mature at an obnoxiously slow rate.

There is no grey area. You can not copyright facts. If you download ("scrape") a webpage and then extract the facts, whatever you downloaded only exists in volatile memory. So there is no claim there. The only claim you can make is on the download itself, hence what LinkedIn chose.
http://book.mixu.net/css/

The hardest thing about going from backend dev to frontend dev is understanding CSS and HTML layout. Without a clear mental model, the experience of trying to position things on a web page feels like really frustrating[1]. I cannot recommend more highly that you do the following:

- Read through http://book.mixu.net/css/ and take notes like you are in university. When you come to a point that seems ambiguous, copy-paste some of the example html/css into a file, modify it, and view it in the browser to check your understanding.

- Turn these notes into flashcards in a Spaced Repetition program like https://ankiweb.net/about. Try to write questions that ask why something turns out some way. Don't be surprised if many of the questions end up feeling like rote memorization. There is a reason why med students do a lot of rote memorization: they are trying to build a mental model of a very complex system.

After that if you have time and don't already have a project to work on, you might want to

- Build a bunch of things in just HTML/CSS. When you have a question about how to position something, try to predict what the answer is. If you can't, then look up resources and add another notecard to represent what you learned.

Would they have done the same for a right-wing website? Just as importantly, would HN be just as pro free speech if they had?

I've noticed a, er, noticeable worsening in the past year. I used to enjoy doing things on the web, but now no matter what I try to do, whether book travel or watch a news video, it turns into a slog of waiting for pages that won't load, or won't stop loading junk, endless "TLS handshakes" and loading things from Cloudflare, etc etc.

Solar is an extremely specialized tech that will not provide even a small fraction of our electricity. Refrigeration is insane. 1kwh would take a man about two to three days of pedalling to produce. There will be practically no electric motors post-petroleum-glut. How many people know the amount of energy they use? Our society is energy-oblivious. The average post-petroleum-glut person will afford no more than 50-100kwh per year. That's the optimistic scenario. Lights and communication. No motorised transport, no motorised washer, no motorised refrigeration, no motorised water utility. 95% (plus) decrease of our society's energy input in two generations. And don't forget that nuclear power = nuclear disaster/war on a long enough timeline. Nuclear power is mankind's surest suicide path.

I think a fuel cell is distinct by having the oxidizer be from the environment, and not within it.

A flow battery is completely self contained.

Getting your oxidizer from the environment obviously helps with weight, but it comes with its own set of problems since it's hard to control purity.

The wikipedia definition kinda touches on this. Since everything is contained in the battery you can recharge it with just electricity.

In contrast a fuel cell will emit the waste (water usually), so you no longer have the raw material to recharge it anymore. (Although obviously you can just make more by collecting it from the environment - think emit the water, then electrolyze other water to recharge the battery.)
Or yours and that of hrw. I'm pretty sure lots of other people think SA/UAE have bad human rights records too.
It's not about breaking down oil.

Omega3 and Omega6 oils bind to the same receptors and compete for the same processes, with the optimal ratio (supposedly) 1:1, but western diet closer to 1:10; Canola oil, as almost any seed or vegetable oil, is almost pure Omega6.

Fish oil is mostly Omega3 in the most readily available form; Flax oil is mostly Omega3 in a less available form; Almost every other oil (including rapeseed, aka canola) is mostly Omega6.
That's for inference though, the intensive part is training no? Then with a reasonable model (maybe distilled somehow from a larger one through more training) you could even do it off CPU or whatever.
What is the energy density of a flow battery like this? It's hard to imagine it is anywhere near gasoline or a lithium ion battery.
I was picking some mirabelle plums from the tree in my garden in West London (this is a few years ago).

Some passing teenagers asked what I was doing, so I offered them some plums, straight from the tree. "No way! My mum only buys fruit from Waitrose!"

A much younger girl and her granddad took a few, although in this case it was grandad that was reluctant.

It's a shame. Neighbours complained about the fruit making a mess on the pavement; if it wasn't that that particular neighbourhood was special and had a requirement for the trees to be maintained, I'm sure they'd have been replaced with something more friendly to Lexus paintwork.

The coupled cluster method CCSD(T), considered the "gold standard" of quantum chemistry, is O(N^7).

Agreed. But also, it's become very hard to get anything to get noticed organically.

It is not about quality. The same exact story submitted by different people or at different times may get 1 upvote and gets buried, or hits over 100 points on the front page. See this for example!

I suspect most frontpage people ask their friends to upvote a story in the first few minutes.

NP completeness kinda works around the uncertainty of PxNP (with x ∈ {⊆, ⊊}), because it defines some sort of "weak subset" of NP comprised of "pretty sure these problems are not in P[, because no one yet thought of a polynomial reduction to a problem in P]". The last part in brackets is the catch here; if we could show that it is not possible, then P!=NP would immediately follow, and NP completeness would become a largely pointless exercise.
