A simple case is the warning clang will generate for:

int err = 0;
if (err = f()) {
}

This is indeed a useful warning, as it's common to mistype == as = in this situation, but it's also absolutely correct code, and the idiom that silences the warning (surrounding with extra parentheses) does not change anything about the correctness of the code.
The main reason to go to conferences is to meet people who are working similar things, to exchange ideas, make friends and build potential collaborations. Maybe even impress some program managers.

A very efficient way to do this is the poster session, where you have enough of your work on a poster that you can get the general ideas across in a few min (or even less). Some people do bring laptops with videos and things. My experience though is that spoken words and a few graphs are sufficient to get the story across and spark deeper conversations.
When they mentioned the headphone jack being removed, I thought it was a joke. I have a 6S now and was considering getting the Pixel, in part because of the headphone jack and also for the more "open" ecosystem of Android (and things not proprietary-Apple). But now it's basically the same, so there's less motivation for me there. I just think Google could've swooped in and gotten the people who still appreciate headphone jacks.

Interesting round of new devices this year around, I wonder what the consensus is on who did it better, Google or Apple?
Doesn't matter. We don't need to be the #1 framework. We're going to be focused on model import and integrating with the big data ecosystem.

None of these frameworks you're mentioning integrate properly, are really supported by an actual community, and don't get meaningful updates.

The biggest problem you run in to pretty quickly is maintenance. TF and spark both update quickly.

Every time someone has attempted to do a "TF on spark" they don't add ETL, proper JVM integrations (proper control of cuda and memory management from the JVM), there are also usually strange interactions with JVM/python run times.

Also, please don't ignore the rest of dl4j. We have a whole suite of tools in there. It's not just a matrix lib with autodiff like TF and co is.

TF in its own way is adding some of this stuff like TF records and some of their readers, but it's not going to add a lot in the way of things like connectors to kafka and a lot of the big data ecosystem.

They've basically added HDFS..that was about it.

Dl4j is also significantly easier to deploy. It's just a jar file or zip file..you don't need a blob of c++ just to run a model.

There absolutely is. I'm fluent in English, and in a visit to Japan a couple months ago I found myself in a restaurant with a waiter that didn't speak English, and an issue with my credit card that she couldn't explain to me. After several attempts at communicating in other ways, I just opened Google Translate on the phone and we were able to have a spoken conversation much like the one you saw in the presentation.
Personally I watch very little, maybe one episode every couple of weeks. I have tons of hobbies that occupy my time, and I didn't realize we were counting audiobooks (it didn't click in my mind that you would "read" an audiobook).

I think I read a lot, which means about one 300-400 page book per month. I'd say 1500 pages per month is definitely on the higher end of the scale.
I love this feature, but it seems missing a critical thing. You can say 'always open websites A1, A2, A3 in container Y' but you can't say 'container Y only hosts websites A1, A2, A3'.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Edit: replaces 1 website with multiple websites

Edit 2 : Another useful feature, would be cookie policy per container. So when I quit FF, I can delete all cookies except those in Container X

In Java, the compiler complains about unreachable code and aborts. I think that's ridiculous. Sometimes it's useful to create unreachable code during development.

int foo = doSomething();
return 0; // Debug XXX DONOTSUBMIT
int bar = doSomethingElse();
return foo + bar;

It's hilarious, though, that this workaround works:

int foo = doSomething();
if (1 > 0) return 0; // Debug XXX DONOTSUBMIT
int bar = doSomethingElse();
return foo + bar;

Go's mandatory warnings are equally annoying. I'm sick and tired of little rarefied groups of language designers trying to impose their ideas about best practices on the rest of the world.

My experience with Nexus 6p support was very different. I bought my 6P at launch in 2015, it ran perfectly for a year and a half and then I noticed that it shut down at around 15% battery a couple of times. One phone call to Google, despite the fact that I was out of warranty, and then 2 days later a brand new Pixel XL (last year's model) showed up in an overnight FedEx. Could not be more pleased.
Assuming humans did not exist, the main moral justification I see would be to prevent the unnecessary suffering of living beings. Of course suffering is a part of natural systems, but as living beings, we can identify with the discomfort of said suffering, and find it a moral imperative to limit suffering to only that which is necessary.

When natural systems can no longer sustain life, that life dies out. This can happen when there are no longer enough natural resources to support said life. But this does not necessarily happen quickly. The cause could be drought or famine or climate chane, resulting in lack of an environment suitable to life. This can cause the deterioration of a species to the point of disease, starvation, cannibalization, and other painful processes.

Let's take an example. Assume that some new disease affected a wolf population in a given area. Once those wolves died out, the lack of natural predators would cause other species (say, deer) to reproduce abundantly, and then overgraze, which would then affect the growth of forests, which then would affect the ecology sustaining a myriad of species that live in said forest. Assuming those species attempted to adapt by migration, they may be adversely affected by other species in a new region, or adversely affect those species themselves, setting off new chain reactions.

This is not a theory. This is a real problem affecting the northeast united states. Except it wasn't disease that killed off the wolves: it was humans.

> I want to get back in. So does the hijacker. I would much rather prefer waiting an extra day or so, than risk having the hijacker purporting to be me getting back in.

Except, that’s not what happens.

Google lets the hijacker in, and locks you out. I live in Germany, and yet, as detailed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15404541, Google let a hijacker from Russia with knowledge over nothing except my password in, and I had no way to reset it despite access to all reset questions and reset email (but no access to the reset phone number).

Not even a Google employee friend was able to help me, as their internal escalation team for this... contacted my hijacked account via Gmail.

Google’s system is useless, and if you honestly rely on it, you should stop right now.

Go into Gmail, IMAP settings, and write down the "POP3 activated since" date, that’s the only place you find your account creation date, it’s required for account recovery. Update your phone number, and choose an ISP that NEVER deactivates unused phone numbers.

I love containers (longtime Nightly user) but the UI is hard to get right and even harder to make intuitive, so I’m not surprised they made it an extension.
> If someone used a standard cost-benefit analysis [for russian roulette], he would have claimed that one has 83.33% chance of gains, for an “expected” average return per shot of $833,333.

The attacks in Nice and Paris are the French equivalent of 9/11. They’re acts of war and are really outliers in statistics. You can’t really use these attacks as an argument against gun control. In day to day life there are 0.21 homicides by gunfire for 100k inhabitants per year in France and 3.6 in the US (source: wikipedia). I think the real argument is there... But then again, as a Frenchman most of American politics are more and more foreign and impossible to understand to me (gun law, healthcare...)

AUX has to send electricity down the wire to drive the speakers in headphones. The Quora article you link to is weirdly written but confirms this, "the signal is from your phone and your phone uses it's battery to make it." I.e., headphones work by taking electricity from your phone and converting it to sound.
Those are solutions to a different problem. Australia's buy-back and new legislation only worked because the public overwhelmingly supported them:

> In an Age poll of 2058 Australians taken on 3-5 May 1996, 90 per cent of those surveyed supported a national ban on all automatic and semi-automatic firearms, 88 per cent supported firearms registration, 73 per cent thought that gun owners should pay an annual registration fee for each gun they own, and 69 per cent thought that gun owners should be required to store their guns at an armoury or with the police.

He seems to have a better grasp of probability than most people (me included). Perhaps he's not the greatest at digesting his ideas into an easy-to-grok form, but he seems to be trying his best. You don't have to listen to everything he says but you also shouldn't dismiss it all because his presentation is lacking in eloquence. I think this is especially true since he has a background he shares with very few other business-esque advice-givers. When you find a person like that, someone outside the norm, you really aught to listen to the person and learn to read between the lines or reinterpret it into a form that you can understand, since finding people at that fringe is hard enough. Requiring that the person be a perfect communicator is too much to ask and you're doing yourself a disservice by ignoring them.

Yes, but I need to support apps.

Some of my users are on Pixel devices and will get Android 9.0 the day it is released, while in best case, the source code only drops a week later. So assuming it takes me 10 minutes to fix all bugs, my app might crash for a week.

Realistically, my apps would be at least a month unusable.
The only sure thing banning guns would do is reduce the fraction of gun deaths due to accidents. The deaths from suicide would likely shift to the next most convenient method. I highly doubt we'd see significant reduction in homicides. I'd be curious to know the numbers on homicides committed using legally vs illegally obtained guns though. Excluding accidents, these issues run far deeper than access to guns. Banning or restricting them will only mask the symptom, not cure the root causes.

That website (Inc.) doesn't cite any sources for your quotation at all. It simply appears to be their personal speculation. To me that's rather disingenuous.

I actually work in a support org at Google (on the Enterprise side, admittedly).

That account recovery link I provided (https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery) is available to anybody (This is for consumer - i.e. GMail. If you have an enterprise - i.e. GSuite account, it's slightly different in that your domain administrator can also restore you as well).

You don't need to be anybody special - you just go to that URL, fill in your details, and somebody will review it for you.

Yes, it will take time. If you make noise, it's possibly it will get escalated and you will get assurances from somebody that it's being looked into. But in general, it will take some time to process it, simply to ensure that we're giving you (and not somebody else) access to your account.

I know it sucks, but account security is tough, and I have nothing but respect for the hardworking people that handle that. In my second week at Google, I accidentally typed my password into a non-secure (but still legitimate) web-form. Within minutes, I got an alert asking me to change my password immediately. They take security very seriously.

From a super-simple perspective, a community that grows exponentially _will_ eventually have very few resources per head.

If, as a starting point, someone believes the population is growing exponentially then they likely also believe it doesn't matter if they try to be selfish or not. There will be a lot of people with limited resources and that is probably going to reduce their quality of life.

Now there are a lot of issues with this view and the actual reality might favour anything, but I don't think the average selfish or selfless person has thought about them. So I'm pretty happy to excuse both until I see arguments with more facts than 'I think' or implicit 'selfishness is bad it sounds unfriendly'.
