Well, as the article points out, await is not pre-emptive, so it doesn't have the same fairness guarantees as BEAM. But IMO this argument is mostly theoretical as most web applications deal with simple request/response kind of things and have few long running tasks. Although a non pre-emptive system might be easier to DOS as soon as you find one input that takes a long time to process.
It could also narrow down the list of suspects. From there, additional investigation can find more evidence. Having access to big data can help this.

> Google's terrible reputation of poor and unreachable support

My experience is not the same for all the products I bought for Google.

It was really easy to contact support and replacement devices came quickly.
>You're thinking about GMail

TFA is about GMail.

>there is only one legally defensible position as of today: full control of the legal entities handling the data

Absolutely! The GDPR does this, and it's perfectly coherent, in that it applies to all EU citizens' data, regardless of where the data is stored or processed.

What's incoherent is the (former) US policy that data held by American companies is immune to search if and only if it's located outside the US.

>Data has a location until it is copied multiple places

Data are copied hundreds to thousands of times as they transit any network. Further, if data at rest are only stored in one place, the company storing it is dangerously irresponsible. HIPAA actually mandates backup and disaster recovery capabilities. The illegal thing would be having too few copies, or an architecture with a single point of failure.

>The legislation is looking at something like the entirety Irish health services and handling sensitive individual research data

Surely something this sensitive should not rely on the "one weird trick" that US companies are (sometimes? maybe?) not required to comply with court orders for data that they claim lives on EU soil.
I expect you could but perhaps not with a very good experience. I think a lot of the lighting modes rely heavily on doing that work in real time, rather than in post processing. It could be that it's just too laggy without the new processor.

That and Apple make their money from selling this hardware, so having software that only runs on new devices helps sell them.

Personally, i wouldn't care at all for some like/clap counter by itself, but I'd be interested in honest, brutal, in-depth, professional dissecting of landing pages.

But of course building community for digital marketing professionals is entirely different undertaking than having gallery of landing pages..
There are a couple of reasons why Chrome and other browsers aren't allowed in some companies:

1. Standardization - if you use one web browser and know that your apps all work and display properly on that browser, you have one less call driver to support. This seems silly, but when Bob from accounting calls to complain about not being able to access his app and you find he's using Chrome which isn't supported, that's time wasted ("But Jim in Sales told me to use this!")

2. Security is a concern. Honestly, Chrome is at least as secure as the other browsers, and possibly more secure. Nevertheless, more browsers means you have a larger attack surface to worry about. Related to this, some industries have to prove compliance, and that may mean testing each application that gets installed to verify that they are complaint with various regulations. Testing each browser is extra expense that doesn't really add anything to the company's bottom line.

An honest iPhone 8 launch event would say "we improved the camera hardware but also had some fantastic breakthroughs in the camera software, and we'll be backporting those to all supported models in iOS 11". The pessimist in me says that nobody would buy an iPhone 8 if they did this. Wait a second, now that I've thought it through it's obvious that this is exactly why they didn't backport the software improvements to previous iPhones. :)
PBR for Audio Software Interfaces (2016)

Minority Rules: Why 10 Percent is All You Need [0]

This isn't a review. It is a competent photographer showing off. Which is fine, but you should be aware of it while reading.

1. The fake bokeh looks surprisingly good. I don't think any of my non-technical friends would be able to spot it on their own.

2. These pictures are absolute best-cases for the iPhone (or any) camera. For headshots with well-chosen natural light as in these pics a picture taken with an iPhone 4 would look almost as good. "Studio lighting" and other tricks won't fix bad light. Neither will a $6,500 Nikon D5 with a $1,000+ lens.

3. Nikon, Canon et al need to try harder. Cellphones have already replaced several categories of "real" cameras, and they keep improving every year.
Of course it's an enjoyable setting for you.

Not if your company goes out of business waiting for the Right Thing.

Technical line management is a separate skill set to product & project management, dumping all that on a new manager is an express ticket to burnout city.

edit let's also remember that being promoted from a senior engineer/tech lead to dev manager means you need to find a replacement to hand off technical responsibilities to, managers can't time manage & code and expect to excell at both.
Java/Maven/Gradle built applications don't pull in dependencies at startup time, they pull them in at build time.

While the JVM takes relatively long to boot up, I have various Spring Boot applications in production that startup in as much as 4 seconds, usually below 20 seconds

Java isn't as slow as people think anymore, especially since Java 7.

Also, Java remains a language running Java bytecode in a Virtual Machine, not a language running machine code... This obviously makes it very powerful and portable, yet a bit slower than C, C++ or Go.

People with an iPhone 4, 5 or 6 have more reason to upgrade to an 8 rather than a 7 than just the camera.

> There is an unfortunate viewpoint that decentralisation is just always a "good thing".

Well, to put cryptocurrency in its historical context, the design-decision to make the architecture of the internet(/darpanet) decentralized was because of the very real and persistent possibility of global thermonuclear war. If you want your computer networks to stay up after NY, DC and SF have all been wiped off the map, decentralization is fairly key.

So I would say yeah, the world has changed, and decentralization is now always a good thing. It's not just "crypto people", it's "people"[0] carrying on in "software"[1] what is already a decades-old trend in computer networking.

Thanks, that clears things up massively. I've never heard anything negative about the Red Cross (International Committee or otherwise) in Europe, and was a bit shocked to see their (collective) name pulled into the dirt.
It’s a requirement many organizations have - government institutions are a good example. Some might want to not leak any data to the outside world, run it only for internal use, etc.
I found PowerAMP similar enough.
As noted before, in Europe, the greatest union in the world GOD BLESS US</sarcasm> governments do a lot of the stuff that people in the US expect from charities.

In theory, passionate empathic people should be able to outperform government projects 100:1 and no doubt many do to some extend, even without any formal organization.

If you live next door the just being there for people is priceless. Its not like government will see you rebuilding your house and bring you a hot cup of tea when you look worn out while for a private citizen that would be a minimum effort.

The obvious question is why haven't US law makers moved in for the kill with so many for-profit-non-profits? I think the answer is probably as obvious as the question.
Yep, I've recently set up a PC with an i5 750, so literally the first-gen i5. 4GB + Win 10, but it was running off an old 500GB hard drive - the machine was nearly unusable, things were taking minutes to launch. I ended up installing an older 60GB SSD into it and it's almost as usable as a modern computer, chrome starts within seconds of clicking the icon, everything is nice and responsive. I bet we could keep a lot of older computer going just fine if they had their hdds replaced with SSDs.
Besides the availability of more computing power and more samples/data, has there been any fundamental breakthrough in AI e.g. in the past 5-10 years?
In theory, it doesn't have to be evil. In theory, it could be good to attract users to information that benefits them and increases discoverability for that purpose. In theory...
> Except, and this is really the fundamental catch, it's not so much "enhance" as it is "project a believable substitute/interpretation".

I would argue that this is a form of enhancement though, and in some cases will be enough to completely reconstruct the original image. For example, if I give you a scanned PDF, and you know for a fact that it was size 12 black Ariel text on a white background, this can feasibly let you reconstruct the original image perfectly. The 'prior' that has been encoded by the model from the large amount of other images increases the mutual information between grainy image and high-res. The catch is that uncertainty cannot be removed entirely, and you need to know that the target image comes from roughly the same distribution as the training set. But knowing this gives you information that is not encoded in the pixels themselves, so you can't necessarily argue that some enhancement is impossible. For example with celebrity images, if the model is able to figure out who is in the picture, this massively decreases the set of plausible outputs.

And they'll stick to current hardware. Lots of Enterprises also use Google Apps and they'll be perfect fit for chromebooks.
The benefit depends on how predictable the phenomenon is that your are interpolating from. Sometimes it will be quantitatively better than a low resolution version, sometimes not.

A good example is with compression algorithms for media. They work because the sound or image is predictable. And they are ineffective when the input becomes more unpredictable. But if the output is all you have then running the decompression will probably be better than just reading the raw compressed data. But you have to be aware of the limitations.

Preferably simple approaches that don't involve horrible, huge, redundant class names or bloated, overbearing frameworks.

Google are reasonably responsive on hardware issues, the problem is software ones. Google have significant issues closing or limiting accounts with no support or recourse to find out what the problems are and resolve them (if they're even real). Given the reliance ChromeOS has on Google accounts that's a huge problem. Eminently fixable from Google's end, but a problem today.

A big part of the problem with flying over Russia (or any other nation) is that nuclear missiles are fallible mechanical systems.

Would you be willing to take that risk?
In another lifetime, we bought a Google Search appliance. It never did work as well as they said it did. The support was pretty good, for the first month.

It's just an anecdote, so weigh it appropriately. I've absolutely no idea if they have improved.

The basic ideas of group theory are definitely accessible to grade schoolers, and even the fancier parts of an undergraduate group theory course (Sylow theorems, etc.) are accessible to high school students who go through the work.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nathan Carter’s lovely book Visual Group Theory to any bright 15 year old. But for a (say) 10-year-old, just learning about the symmetries of shapes and tilings is plenty of useful and interesting math.

Whether US jurisdiction applies to data held by US companies outside the US has so far depended on which court you ask, and appears to be leaning towards "yes."

Certainly the citizenship of the entity holding the data matters, and from the GDPR's perspective, the citizenship of the data subject matters, but the "location" of the data itself has (maybe) mattered for about 2 years, and may not anymore after this works its way through the system.

You seem to be misunderstanding how diceware works. You randomly generate numbers by throwing dice. Every five rolls indexes exactly one "diceware" word. So even if an attacker knew we were using diceware, each word contains

log2(6^5) = log2(7776) ≈ 12.9 bits

of entropy. If you want 128 bits of etropy in your security question field, then just randomly generate 10 diceware words. This is comparable to choosing 20 random printable ascii characters or so.

Since we pick the words by literally throwing dice, English grammar has nothing to do with it.
