Fair enough, my phrasing before was a little casual, but the underlying point is sound. A hypothesis test might tell you that there is no significant impact on conversion at your chosen level. However, you still have to make a choice between option A and option B. If you have no a priori reason to favour one as the default and no additional data to consider -- which, again, is a crucial detail in the situation closed was talking about -- you should logically still choose whichever option that was most successful during your experiment. This is simply because if your conclusion was correct and there is no impact on conversion then which you pick doesn't matter, but if your result was a false negative then it is more likely that the more successful option during the experiment is the better choice. Given that you're going to pick that one anyway, your hypothesis test hasn't actually provided any useful information to help inform your decision in this scenario.

In any case, we seem to be talking at cross-purposes here, so perhaps we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
I regrettably agree there. I spent time doing OpenCL implementations of some of our stuff, but most recent decisions from AMD's side seem to indicate they'd rather get rid of it as well, in favor of some CUDA compatibility layers.

This isn't very encouraging to continue supporting AMD cards. Might as well drop them entirely until their CUDA compatibility is more mature.
This is a pretty good video abut the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYtXBUS_kwY

"Mosquito" just means buzzy and lacking clarity.

In the video, he's using good quality gear and is a pretty good player, so even when he does everything wrong it doesn't sound as bad as this problem can sound. Then again, his "good" example is still too distorted to record well even for the style of music he's playing (metal uses much more distortion than any other genre), and if I were recording him, I'd be begging him to take it down a couple more notches.
That's all true about Python, too, and it's been true since before Node existed. If Node were adequate, Python would be adequate too.

In fact, other than "run lots of Javascript", I'm not sure I can name a single thing Node did before Python.
I think it may be some Stockholm Syndrome -- people have worked very hard to get around the GIL, and they've come to expect its limitations and respect those solutions.

But I've never heard of someone asking for a GIL to be added to the JVM.
USB would add to the BoM. Much easier (methinks) to have the lock revert to the last known good configuration if you operate an I/O on the inside in an unusual way - say, turning the lock thingamajig towards the 'open' direction for >20s or so.

Also, no update should be carried out unless the user initiated it - for instance, a flashing led or an app notification tells the user an update is available - and it needs to be initiated by using the same controls as would be used for a roll-back, ensuring you do not end up locked out after updating.

That being said, the idea of a lock being online scares the bejeezus out of me. Call me a luddite, but as a minimum I want my burglars or vandals to show up, rather than nessing with me from wherever.
I wasn't even aware they existed until I saw this thread.

I don't understand why companies feel they need to start selling average household products, but with cameras, microphones, wifi, and bluetooth. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I don't even like my laptop having a camera.

Google just kicked them off for violating TOS as well.
I saw an interesting argument about this. In the 80's, programming wasn't a high status occupation and the CS community was more accepting of women than other professions. Over time, as the rest of society became less sexist, women had more options and gravitated away from CS towards law, medicine, and other fields.
Influencer demos skew highly female, so I can't say I'm surprised -- Snap isn't selling to the total market so much as trying to get traction through high-influence users. It's a strategy that requires time, patience, and careful execution, but has the potential to normalize something that Google rather famously failed to do so (and potentially poisoned the concept) with Glass.
Can anyone provide insight as to how transgendered people count in the "women in tech" discussion? As I see it, there's now a quadrant of biological (fe)males and psychological (fe)males. Would a woman in tech mean only biologically and psychologically female, or also biologically female, also psychologically female, depends on who's counting?

I ask only because I see this already hyper-sensitive topic very soon becoming nearly impossible to discuss without somebody taking offense due to the combined effects of the biological and psychological gender sensitivities.

I'm not sure about that... if you have a technology that won't quite fit in a 'standard' design, but you try and force it anyway, it'll look bad regardless. Better to embrace the goofiness and make something a little fun instead.
This interpretation is wrong. The class P contains for example O(N^(10^100000!)), that are not "solvable" by any remotely reasonable meaning of the word.
Uhg. Another post that asserts increasing diversity inevitably means lowering the bar. I don't think that's the case at all.

Rhetoric like this is toxic and erodes the presumption of competence people should have in their colleagues. I know great developers of every gender, but it's always only the women that have to justify that their presence isn't the result of some "diversity charity".
The intent I think was to make it really obvious that the wearer has camera glasses on. They were marketed as a toy, not as spy glasses.

The problem was that nobody knew what to do with them, and Snap being setup the way it is, it's too hard to take cues from what other people might be doing with them because it's hard to find their videos.

The only thing I bring them out for now is to make little cooking videos for my friends, the hands free POV camera is really good for that, and uploading a little narrative is pretty effortless.

It means that there will be one client that supports this (Conversations for Android) and maybe one server supporting this (probably ejabberd). Good luck navigating the minefield :)

Meanwhile I can install Slack on multiple devices and have the same functionality everywhere :)
Probably stiff regulation.

I wonder if a certification body (like UL) could work though. Probably is it is hard to boil "works good" down to a set of clear requirements.

By the same logic Python is multithreading-ready as well, since it's only a matter of it's major implementation why it doesn't support multithreading.
Some people will hold it against him because some people are too stupid to see things in context. Rather than respecting him for taking a smart risk in pursuit of an important goal, they will just remember that he was once wrong about something and in a big way.

There are people who point at others' failures to bolster their own image by comparison. And there are people with fragile egos who are eager to see others in a negative way.

It shouldn't be that way, but it sometimes is, so I wouldn't say the career risk is zero. But I'm still glad he's doing it regardless of the outcome.
They already do. There are more Vulkan supported games out, than DX12 ones as far as I know. Why has many variables. But simple answer, Windows 7 is still a common target (it has no DX12 support). More deeply, because forward looking studios don't want to fall into hard MS lock-in, and growing number of studios support Linux as well.

There was some good write up from Star Citizen developers on this topic, who decided to ditch DX12 for Vulkan.
I dislike the blog post for being poorly written but one of the author's points is that it's too late to attack diversity during recruiting because your pool of women applicants will already be tiny due to attrition. She is advocating approaching women in college but at you point out, even that's way too late. You can't have a society that instills shitty values into people from their first breath and then expect to undo all those years of mindfuckery because you work at a progressive place and are really passionate about diversity.
On a road trip I took in May, Waze couldn't seem to stay connected on either of two iPhones. Google Maps had no such issues. I'm not sure why that would be allowed to happen, given that Google owns Waze anyway.
They won't do that. The current arrangement with Google is quite good for both parties. It's not smart to start another battle with Google unless there is some to gain. 3 billion in profits is quite good. It's hard to imagine how Apple can make that much profit from their own search engine.
I personally wouldn't wear Spectacles, but I did expect them to do much better than they have. It seems like people don't feel silly wearing GoPros or carrying selfie sticks so they looked like a logical next step to me.

Some anecdata: I have been traveling the U.S. for the last year, stopping in mostly major cities, and lived in Boston prior to that. In all that time I didn't see a single pair of Spectacles until last month... in Houston, TX of all places!

I'm not a lawyer but as I understand the law: to prove libel, it's not necessary to prove that the claim is false, only that the defendant is unable to prove it's true.
So you made a fake account just to come here and rant about something unrelated to the main topic?

Plus, you should consider the fact that Greeks and Persians were at war in those times. It's only natural that a historian (like Herodotus) would exaggerate some events, or even write lies about their arch enemy. Unfortunately, many history books were burnt in Persian libraries by the Mongols, so we only get the perspective of the Greeks, not the Persians.

Um. Not mine. Maybe stop wildly generalizing and your market analysis will improve.
The difference is that if Riemann Zeta is incorrect, many theorems that are based on the hypothesis being correct will also be invalidated. Whereas assuming P != NP is limited to a relatively small area of complexity theory. I think a much more equivalent conjecture in complexity theory would be the unique games conjecture. Because the unique games conjecture already provides certain problems to be completely characterized (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_games_conjecture#Releva...). Thus, proving this to be true kind of closes the chapter on many problems. Whereas proving P != NP true still leaves many gaps open.
You could also do A/B partition booting. Whatever partition is currently running, the other one gets updated. When the update is complete, the system reboots to the updated partition. If it doesn't survive the reboot (like if the system never reaches the app and the hardware watchdog timer stops being reset), then it reboots again, back to the first partition.
Besides that, a manager/leader/founder needs to take ownership of their team's motivation (within reasonable limits).

Well... The traveling salesman decision problem, not the general case.

The problem of finding the optimum path is not in NP, if I give you a candidate solution you can't easily check if it's the global optimum.

What is in NP is the decision problem, finding a path that is better than a given bound. If I hand you a candidate solution, you just have to compare the sum of the distances to the bound to check it.

No surprise there. There is no appeal to wearing your smartphone's camera on your face on a generic pair of glasses.

Of course, they can sell a new version optimized for a different environment.

And I can emulate the old environment.

And of course I am okay with MMORPGs or cloud services charging continually, as they have server costs.

But I don't want to pay just to keep using a product I already paid for.
I'm sorry, but as for now, Electron is really not the best choice for a desktop platform, and you can't declare it a standard only because some developers choose it, mostly because it's easier for them to create or port apps using a familiar stack. In the future, certain things may change - the performance might be better and resource usage might get lower (although I honestly doubt - with browsers getting more features it's even likely to go the other way round), but as of now, Electron as a desktop platform is inferior when compared to a native app in all aspects.
>On the other hand, Sacconaghi said that Apple's iOS devices contribute about 50 percent to Google's mobile search revenue, which means Google might be too afraid to walk away from its licensing deal with Apple.

50%? Am I reading this right, that iOS makes up 50% of Google's mobile search revenue? IDC reports that Android made up 85% of the mobile OS market share in Q1-17, while iOS makes up 14.6%. How could iOS be contributing half of the mobile search revenue when Google's own OS is on most of the mobile devices in the world?

If you're middle-aged and picking up the guitar for the first time in the hopes of getting chix, you've got other issues that need to be addressed first. You can still learn the guitar, but hopefully your therapist can help steer you such that you're learning it for the right reasons.

Umm, me? I picked up the mandolin in my 50s because I wanted to learn how to play it. To date, I've not had one woman throw herself at me as a result. I'm perfectly okay with that. That brief flirting with the hammer dulcimer wasn't any better. Perhaps I'll try accordion next.
A DV cert from letsencrypt means you have provided some bare minimum of evidence that you control the domain in question. That's it. Most people don't understand that. They just think "https == good" and it's taken years just to get to that point. CAs need to do more and browser vendors should expect them to if they want to be included in the default bundle. CAs should not be issuing certificates for any name that contains components like "paypal.com" or "google" or "gmail"

Yeah it's kind of a game of whack-a-mole but at least get the low-hanging fruit.

Ouch. Clearly someone missed a possible outcome on their OTA update flow. Worse, they didn't devise a way that you could locally get the device sane enough to do another OTA. Counts as a double fault :-(

Andrew Godwin had raised £17K out of £2.5K expected in order to implement (I believe excellent) Django migrations that are now part of the official repository: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andrewgodwin/schema-mig...

PS: I don't find Django an excellent ORM per se. On the other hand it's highly pragmatic, and their implementation of automatically-generated migrations have saved a good chunk of my time.

Apple Maps is much better than it once was. They had alot of location inaccuracies, and they weight some road features differently than Google Maps. Most of the location stuff is fixed.

I made a conscious effort to use Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze and found Apple & Google to be equivalent for routing. Sometimes the routes varied, but they were pretty solid. Waze was either super-useful time saver or a complete waste of time.
Sure, I'd go with that, too.

I bring my gopro on all my trips. Its a great way to record memories without using up your phone storage or battery. It's also easier to hold, has better FoV, and much better video quality. It's a no brainer. I'm surprised action cams have not hit mainstream as far as trip-devices go.

I'm surprised the author does not mention another reason that've heard in favour of using Latex: scale and predictability.

A LaTeX Document will always behave the same whatever its size and content. Whereas word processors may unexpectedly change formatting without anyone noticing, for example in the case where you share a file with someone and this person update the text and sends it back. The text written might not belong to the same formatting family as the rest of the text but shares the same appearance and this change will go unnoticed until the original owner changes the appearance of the formatting family.

Not to mention versionning. Having your thesis in Latex in a git repo will consistently work. Whereas you will struggle sharing a single .docx file across multiple system or even different word versions. And you lose any possibility to roll back, inspect the history or show diffs.
I would assume that it is not being sent to drivers.
I've pushed OTA updates to smartphones before: there is a rigorous certification process that the software has to go through before reaching the customers. We've had times where we had to push emergency OTAs soon after, but never a time where we had to do any sort of recall due to an OTA.

I'm certain that these vendors don't have nearly the same amount of checks compared to smartphones due to much less overhead (like we had from carriers, Google, SoCs), but it's still astonishing how this could happen, but it's a good lesson for them, mistakes happen and I hope they implement a system where this is not possible to happen again.

OP here. You're right that SpriteBox does not exist to teach kids to be great coders. It exists to get as many kids as possible engaged with what programming is and excited to learn more. Especially kids who may not be 'naturally inclined' to code.

What makes your argument fall flat is, we already had LightBot: it teaches kids to program with icons only. If text was a blocker for SpriteBox, why would we pursue it at all?

You end by saying that kids who fear text are not well suited for coding. That's like saying kids who fear symbols are not well suited to math. This kind of sentiment is what drives people to believe that they should give up things that they may excel at given enough time and interest. SpriteBox, like many coding apps, is about sparking that interest.

As for text, the real reason we tackle that is because there's a real gap for people between icons and textual programming: some people have this disconnect between what they perceive coding is. Is visual coding "real"? Are formulas in excel "coding"? These are answers programmers can answer, but not people unfamiliar with code.
