> No programmer I know would want to use a visual programming language at all, even with an option to fall into a full text-based programming language.

Here! But perhaps not as in typical visual programming tools. When I programmed ABAP which is traditionally heavy on methods/functions with lots of in and out parameters I always wished for the possibility to just drag some lines between parameters I want to map without having to declare and use intermedia variables.
I don't think this necessarily follows. There are established companies with long track records who specialise in one area.

Can't they just make great recommendations based on:

People who have music X on their playlist also have Y a lot.
Person A listens to X but not Y. Let's make them discover Y.

You could just build a topology of songs like that and then recommend songs to user A if they are topologically close to the songs he likes.

EDIT: Read the article now :D they do that and it's called Collaborative Filtering.
I'd say it's more of a tossup. I mean they write software for people who write software.

I think we can rule out a malicious decision regardless though. I'd wager if it was flagged by the annoyingly pedantic but super smart developer, then it's still sitting in their Trello board buried under a few hundred features that were considered a higher priority by the product manager. In this case, the decision felt mostly harmless.

Or yeah, probably just as likely that no one noticed.

Also one thing I learned from my flat burning is that even if a room doesn't burn, soot is super corrosive and will spread everywhere.

The other reply to you did a pretty good job of taking down your hand-wavy argument about slavery, so I want to pick up on your first sentence.

I'd urge you to reconsider the way you view sources and the media.

"Coates is unabashedly biased and not a great source."

This is a non-sequitur and a misdirection tactic commonly used by people who want to try and discredit arguments without actually achieving anything of the sort. Much like you've done.

"Bias" is not an issue. Legitimacy is. Can we trust Coates writing about race? The question really expands to, can we trust an erudite and eloquent black man with a lot of lived experience, to contextualize and write about that experience? I don't see why we shouldn't. I imagine both of us have much less to offer the debate than Coates, so why not trust Coates?

Sometimes the missus and I will play a few matches. Though they are adults, I'll sometimes get my kids to play it with me, when they visit.

You can even play it with more than two people. When you do it with three other people, on a whole sheet of graph paper, it starts to make for some interesting commentary and labored attempts at stategy.

If you want to change it up a little, you can play with three other people and play as partners. I imagine you could do that with six or eight people, but I've never tried it.

Anyhow, just because we have newer devices and ways to entertain ourselves doesn't mean we can't enjoy the simpler things from our youth. Sometimes, I even read dead tree books. The old stuff is still fun.

* Where I retired, I don't have much in the way of strangers. We usually go out to brunch on Sundays and I'll frequently purloin someone's child, stuff them with ice cream, and play a game of this, or some rounds of Tic-Tac-Toe, or hangman. It is one of the perks of living in a very rural area.
So you're saying you're worried about apple pushing a malicious iOS update because they want your fingerprint?

If yes, this feels utterly nonsensical. They would be able to grab your fingerprint from the sensor anyway, whether you are actively using it or not...

Alternatively you might be spreading some weird conspiracy theory that instead of securely storing a "hash" of the fingerprint on a HSM, current touchid implementations are secretly sharing your fingerprints with Apple.

That's not really any less nonsensical.
I noticed in the US that: They build houses with lots of wood and fill them with woody stuff. They build houses nearby lots of trees with no spacing between them.

This seems like a disaster waiting to happen, and well it happened multiple times?

Why can't the regulation do the following:

- A mandatory buffer zone between the forest and housing.

- Mandatory no wood/cement-only houses in zones of higher risk.

- Mandatory no linked trees with your neighbors, so that the fire doesn't find a favorable environment to spread.

We have this on one of our web apps, and it is a problem. To me the problem is why do we allow jumping to page 107 of 736 in the first place? How does this help someone? The two use cases are 1) user is manually performing a binary search on the results, 2) a bot needs to index the site. Both of these use cases are better solved in other ways, with either search forms that do not suck or index pages generated specifically for crawlers. So the answer to 'how would you implement a deep pagination like "go to page 107"' is to not implement that, and instead improve your design.

While this article is true for the majority of high schools around the country, policy debate can be slow, understandable and extremely eloquent if you know where to look.

Urban Debate Leagues (UDL), often produce championship level debaters that use poems and music as evidence and make arguments up entirely from their own thoughts.

The format of policy is extremely loose and just because the tactics that are most commonly used can be seen as anti-intellectual that doesn't mean that you can't be extremely good while appealing to layman as well.

> Unlike Netflix, though, Spotify doesn’t have those stars with which users rate their music. Instead, Spotify’s data is implicit feedback

I wish they kept it simpler with ratings, and explicit instead of implicit. The discovery weekly playlists are absolutely horrible for me to the point that I don't even bother checking them nowadays.

What works better for me for discovering new music with spotify is right clicking on an existing playlist and then "Create Similar Playlist" - that gives way more control over what kind of genre/style should the playlist consist of.
In most cases this is probably better, but sometimes there is no logical filter that works on you hvae to rely on sort order. One example might be a gallery, I might decide to look though pages 1-10 tonight, 20-30 tomorrow, etc. An arbitrary primary key is the only discriminator that makes sense here. Another example would be classical forum posts, they are sorted by last active but sometimes I'll want to jump to page 134 because that's where I got up to last time and bookmarked my place.

That said, if users were doing this in my software I'd definitely be looking at how I can improve their workflow.

Caldera collapse volcanic eruptions the size of Yellowstone occurr at random intervals, not periodically every 100,000 years, as the article states. The last big one was the Toba eruption in Indonesia about 72,000 years ago. That one almost killed off the human race.

The Long Valley Caldera in California became more active in the 1970's. If this study's conclusions hold up under investigation and it only takes a few decades of activity before a "supervolcano" can erupt, we should monitor these caldera a bit more closely.
Your understanding of the term “peaceful protest” is flawed. Civil disobedience has always been one of the most effective tools of protesters. The best way to protest is to do something which cannot be ignored.

i believe this is a way for them to maximise yield, say their threshold is at least 3 dies must be good, and only 1 can be passable, then when they do tests and only 2 are good, they can swap out one of the passable ones, they can also rate the cpus differently too, they could also just swap out dies when all fail the test, i.e with threadripper and replace with another 2, then rate those.

> figure out some engineering technique for dissipating the magma chamber heat.

There have been several proposals, some of which even allow for using the heat for generating electricity.

IIRC the problem with these approaches is that they take a few hundred years to be completed because you can’t simply drill the magma chamber but rather have to advance very slowly and carefully.

A few hundred years unfortunately seems to be too large a timeframe for politics to pursue this huge undertaking in earnest.
Quite the opposite. Markets do sometimes need government intervention to serve the functions of efficiency and fairness. But the problem is with the government intervention, not with Uber. Uber provides a service that is valuable to people (otherwise they wouldn't pay for it), and is worthwhile to its contractors (otherwise they would go engage their opportunity cost).

If we are to be honest about caring about the poor, then we need to admit that government is not effectively managing the perverse outcomes of capitalism. Instead, they are often exacerbating these problems. Our financial industry, and so many other industries, wouldn't be possible to be so worthless and financially destructive without the current corruption in government.

This is unfortunately not the direction the political consciousness is headed in.

It feels reassuring that you can actually get access and read the assembly of the IME now, thanks to https://github.com/ptresearch/unME11. For instance
using the the Gigabrix-BSi5ha-6200 IME Firmware update archive:

1. Download and unzip the Gigabrix-BSi5ha-6200 IME update archive (http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/BIOS/brix_bios_bsi5-h-a...). Use F5_BIOS/image.bin from that archive.

2. Start "python unME11.py image.bin"

3. The uncompressed modules are located in image/00004000.FTPR/* after that

4. You can i.e. load image/00004000.FTPR/kernel.mod in IDA using 80486 in 32bit real-mode or use
"objdump -m i386 -b binary -D kernel.mod --adjust-vma=0x80000" with entry point being 0x80000
or

I think I have now remembered the moment I became aware of my synesthesia. As a kid I was a bit of an art geek, I liked to read on art history and theory. Reading about Kandinsky there was an introduction that he had some kind of unique way of mapping sounds to colors, followed by a quote from Kandinsky. I was like "This is strange indeed, he got like half of the colors wrong!". Then the book proceeded to explain synesthesia and everything became clear.

I use Spotify's Discover Weekly on a regular basis. On average I like more than half of the songs on the playlist, and it's my main way of discovering new music.

Discover Weekly works really well for me. It surfaces a lot of music I've forgotten about and for the most part provides an interesting collection to listen to. Having said that, I have a very eclectic taste in music, so it's probably harder to hit on things I won't like. My process is to try to listen to it several times through and then pick out the stand out tracks once everything has had a chance to grow on me.

One thing I worry about with it though is how much my behaviour might influence the choices. For example, if there's a track in there that I already know quite well, because I like it, I'm often scared of skipping it in case the algorithm takes that as a massive negative signal.

For anyone interested in the Raw Audio Models section of that articles, there are some fun endpoints[1][2] from the Echonest API that provide those models.

They've moved over to the Spotify API since I last had a play, but it's great that they still provide them.

You can get the audio breakdown of a track, as well as a summary of the track features including fun stuff like "danceability" and musical positiveness ("valence"). Radiohead's "Fitter, Happier" was low on both of these points if I remember correctly.
