"Loveland Pass, Colorado, on US Route 6 summits at 11,991 feet. That’s where I’m headed, having decided to skip the congestion at the Eisenhower Tunnel. Going up a steep grade is never as bad as going down, though negotiating thirty-five tons of tractor-trailer around the hairpin turns is a bit of a challenge."

This sounds to me like he took a more dangerous route to avoid traffic. There should probably be a fine or some other deterrent for taking a dangerous route if you don't absolutely have to. He risked the lives of not only himself, but anyone else on that road.

WASM has the potential to change the world... a thought: while WASM will initially appear in compute-intense functions in web apps, it has the potential to be a true "Common Language Runtime". It may become the future platform that native, dekstop apps run on.

This could be a good thing, if done correctly:

1. Desktop apps have a common, safe runtime upon which they run, and the packages can be easily distributed (and verified?) by browsers

2. "Web apps" could potentially go away - leaving web browsers for what they were intended, document sharing
I'd also like to see more of a "teaching" post that can walk through the math incrementally.

Many of the deep learning courses assume "high school math", but my school must have skipped matrices, so I've been watching Khan Academy videos.

Are there any good posts / books on walking through the math of deep learning from a true beginner's perspective?
The basic problem with welfare as it currently exists, is that it actually provides disincentives to working. If you start working they take away similar amounts of welfare. You'd have to get a job that is way more than the welfare for it to make even a little sense.

That disincentive goes away with UBI, which is the main reason I think it would work better. Under that system, every dollar you earn directly translates to a better standard of living.
Almost all of the Indian IT companies have a 3 month notice period. If we were to quit before that, we may not get the service certificate which would be needed for a new job.

At the same time, they can fire us (usually being called into HR room and forced to resign) at will. Even if there is any compensation, it will be 3 months basic pay (basic is only a percentage of the full salary).

Thus we get to enjoy the bad things of capitalism without any of the protection it offers.
Sure, more work, more time, less $$$.
Generating GUI code from screenshots using deep learning
Keep in mind there's evolutionary momentum at work here, too. The standard uses of F1 and F2 especially that are at play in the discussion here date back to some of the earliest PC tools. Volkswriter supposedly used F1 for help as far back as 1982, and it was standardized in the 1987 IBM Common User Access guidelines (which also standardized things like F5 for Refresh before web browsers burnt that shortcut in all our brains): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access

So it is very hard to trade-off the momentum of a three decades old standard just to delight particular subsets of power users.

Not to mention the other side of it: why was help so slow and aggravating? Were there ways to make it non-modal and faster. Unsurprisingly, that's been the focus where Office has tried to make an impact, trying to speed up Help and make it less obnoxious over the years, rather than change up a three decade old keyboard shortcut.

Well depends on what angle I could talk all day -- it's cathartic!

In any case, video game addiction is real, it is an addiction, and it fits the bill just like any other type of addiction. Granted it is without the heavy consequences sometimes faced by substance addictions, but nonetheless, it can have real direct consequenses on your health.

To me the signs were clear:

1. At the point where the instant you get bored and have free time, you automatically think to play video games

2. Thinking about video games or wishing to play while doing other activities

3. Other important areas in life suffer as a result of your video game addiction, such as neglecting a spouse or significant other, or falling behind in work, or showing up to work late all the time because you stayed up all night playing video games. Starting to lie about your problem or how much you actually play ("oh I don't really play that much" when really you recorded 20k hours of Counterstrike or you have played 1,000+ games in S7 to try and hit Platinum for the first time in League of Legends), lieing to your friends and family about your free time and missing out on important events "oh I am busy, sorry I can't come" but then you just go play video games.

4. Physical symptoms -- sleep deprivation due to playing video games, getting out of shape from sitting in a computer chair hours on end, eating junk food and takeout because cooking takes too much time and it cuts into your game time, posture being affected, eye sight affected, constant headaches, wrist pain, etc.

5. The most important sign to me -- the feeling of regret that you aren't accomplishing the things you wish to accomplish. Video games give you that false sense of accomplishment, but deep down inside, you wish you could do that side project, you wish you could hang out more with friends, or even get out more to make friends, you wish you could go to the gym and eat healthier to be in shape, etc. But even if it's not in this list, the most important thing is you wish you weren't playing video games because you want to be doing other things, but it's just so enticing. That's why this article is good advice -- you have to take those same reasons it's addicting (provides the sense of accomplishment, it's social, it's fun) and apply it to other areas in life, almost like a replacement strategy.

https://gamequitters.com/ was the website I eventually landed on. I saw Cam Adair's Ted talk and was inspired. I recommend watching it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHmC2D0_Hdg

a tl;dr is he outlines 4 major reasons people play games:

1. They are a temporary escape

2. They are social

3. They provide a challenge

4. They provide constant measurable growth

Understanding these help you overcome it.

Finally, the most difficult challenge I think in overcoming video game addiction is that no one takes video gaming addiction seriously, therefore it is hard to find support. It is a real addiction, and people are really struggling with it, it is really damaging lives.

P.S: If you read this post and are struggling with video game addiction, I would love to help and talk about it.
That. Right at the end of the first part of the book - when some of the DNA Stuff (put that way to avoid spoiling) is when I sort of mentally check out. It was especially annoying because it could have gone somewhere more fun if less... I don't know what the term would be, mythic, maybe? I think he was going for some giant over arching plot that spanned the book and that desire created the need for a bit more hand waving then I could handle.

Sounds like the point you're trying to make is that they did indeed agree to carve up Poland, but it was the least worst option, and in your opinion does not constitute "being on the same side". That was a reasonable contribution.

Your passive aggressive comments and your snide smug "look at me everyone, I'm so clever" childish put-downs; grow up. You actually managed to express a coherent and sensible opinion, and then blew it at the end; you just couldn't quite be an adult about it, and you transformed your whole comment from "rational discourse" to "petulant child".
It is actually amazing how little British folks today know about their own historical misdeeds, they may accept the issues towards USA and other countries but tend to downplay atrocities magnitudes higher in India and other countries

India is important because it was the crown jewel of the British empire and was completely destroyed of its soul by the colonialists with very clever mixture of politics, military and other methods

I suspect that 10 years from now the notion of carpet bombing a field with anti-weed chemicals will seem stupid as simple weed hunting robots deal with the problem automatically.

In some ways, it’s been like that for a few years now. Modern mobile phone camera systems will take multiple individual pictures, align them for any movement, average out temporal noise if there was no motion, create an HDR image from multiple frames captured at different exposure settings, detect different sub-scenes (for example an indoor room and an outdoor scene viewed through a window) and apply individual exposure corrections, identify and isolate faces and apply pleasing lighting corrections, and much more.

> Despite this I really get the impression a lot of non-JavaScript developers are really hoping this is some holy grail to allow them to write in their favorite language for the web platform, which WebAssembly absolutely isn't.

Note that WebAssembly is an MVP right now. It's getting threads, SIMD, native DOM interaction, GC, which would allow many languages to compile to it and run efficiently.

So many photos are all about edge cases. If one phone’s sunset or lightning or eclipse photos are more beautiful, people will notice—virally. We’re not at the marketable limit of miniature camera technology. Even if we hit perfect reality —> digital image compression, a smaller camera module, in line with the chassis, would still have a marketable advantage. We’re far from peak camera; gains shouldn’t be dismissed.
Disclosure: I'm a performing musician. I'm fluent at "sight reading," which means that I can perform music directly from a written sheet. I use this skill regularly on stage. Since I play jazz, the notations that I read include standard "dots," chord symbols, and mixtures thereof.

But... learning to read music is an effectively insurmountable obstacle for many people who might otherwise enjoy playing music in a limited capacity, or in musical styles that don't make much use of reading. For this reason, I appreciate development of alternative notations. There is already an extensive literature of written music for guitar and electric bass, that uses "tabulature," a notation based on numerically identifying finger positions on the instrument. Percussion notation is a kind of tabulature.

The problem with alternative notation is that standard notation represents a symbiosis between composers and performers. Composers know that if they use a particular notation system, then there will be plenty of people who are capable of reading it. Performers know that if they learn standard notation, then they can tap into extensive literature and performing opportunities. Nothing like that exists for any alternative notation. Even with guitar tabulature, very few composers know how to write it unless they're guitarists, and nobody can "sight read" it, so it's use is limited to learning material that will be performed from memory.

Granted, I've just made a lot of generalizations, but they hold pretty well, most of the time.

> They require you to pay money in order to stop doing something you never authorized or asked them to do - releasing your credit profile to anyone who asks.

That's incorrect. CRAs can only release information to others if the requester has "permissible purpose". Under ordinary circumstances, that means you've asked the requester for some sort of service that allows them to pull your credit report.

The purpose of a freeze is to prevent someone from trying to impersonate you and use your credit file. If you just want to be paranoid about it (or "proactive" if you prefer) then you can pay to have your file frozen and unlocked on demand. If you're already a victim of identity theft or legitimately expect to be, then you can get the freeze for free, I believe.
No. It is though illegal that a public institution (using of course public founds from ALL Spaniards) promote in any way an illegal action. The Spanish term is "prevaricación" (perversion of justice), is commonly used when a public servant use his power to make knowingly an illegal action.

Note: This is what I read recently regarding this issue, but I am not a law expert, so take this with a grain of salt.

Hi,

We are reaching out today with unfortunate news. We have been contacted by a criminal organization which indicated that they are targeting Exoscale and its customers with a DDOS attack.

"We asked for ransom. They ignored us. And YOU helped them to mitigate. Now, your guilt, we are coming for you. We are waiting for BTC to be paid on or we will start kicking all your customers offline. One by one. Or more at once. So far we kicked your site offline a few times, you noticed that. We will wait until Monday. In meantime, to prove we are serious, we will launch a few more attacks - on your site and sites of some of your customers of which you are proud of."

While the "protection" fee mentioned here might not seem much, such organizations are well known for using that as a bait to test for an organization's spending ability and escalating. We intend not to comply with the request and to take the following actions:

Switch our static properties to a CDN hostRemove all external company logos from our home pageBlock traffic to affected IPs as attacks are ongoing to limit the impact

As a customer, you are strongly encouraged to use a CDN host for static properties and we will communicate on a regular basis as the events unfold, your primary source of information will remain https://status.exoscale.ch

Sincerely, your devoted Exoscale Team.

That article is excellent. It explains pretty well the lies of the rebel regional government.
Considering the fix is simply re-compiling, I don't think this is the end of the world. There aren't THAT many apps that are both still very good, and haven't been updated in YEARS. Yes there are some, but not that many.
> I think in almost every situation you shouldn't be spending a half-mil on a logo redesign. That's super excessive.

How is that an excessive one-time marketing expense for a company with an annual revenue of $50 billion? That's 0.001% of revenue and is just a drop in the overall marketing budget. Engineers are quick to dismiss marketing and sales, but the reality is they are critical to any business. As much as we would like, technically superior products do not just sell themselves. It is especially funny because advertising is the bread and butter of two of the largest tech companies, Facebook and Google. As another poster said, this is creating a brand, not just a logo.
At the end of one of his books the author notes that the reader might be asking "Where is Tyrion?" The entire book had not contained my favorite character of the Game of Thrones series: Tyrion.

Smallest possible machine for web programming?
I use 15 inch MacBook Pro for work. My personal machine is 13 inch MBP. I like to stop by coffeeshop and work on personal projects until traffic dies down. However, carrying both machines at same time is a bit cumbersome. I could leave my personal machine in the car but prefer to keep it on my person in office. It gets really hot in summer and we don't have covered parking always.

So I am looking at smaller personal machine that I can carry with me to work. My personal projects are mostly web based, I have various VPS for dev work.

So here are some options:

1. Surface Pro is the first option that comes to mind but it is almost as big as 13 inch MBP.

2. 10.5 inch iPad Pro is next option, not perfect setup but many blog posts about using it as main dev machine with certain apps. Bit expensive for what it is though.

3. Pixel C - 10.2 inches. Looks good but older and storage options are limited.

3a. 8-10 inches Android tablets (not sure which one). Again these will be limited but it seems people are able to make them work. Will need to buy a keyboard, don't see many clean solutions like iPad pro.

Anyone here has any suggestions?

The iPhone captures the intricacies of the folds and flow of the white shirt, imo.

Otherwise the two photos just look very differently processed / post-processed. It wouldn't be hard to Photoshop the iPhone shot to look more like the Pixel shot. The reverse would be maybe harder, but the Pixel probably has some setting that would crank down the contrast.
Well it’s a better second camera in iPhone that allows optical zoom, I don’t see why we should disregard that fact in comparison?
