Yeah, unfortunately this is pretty much an unsolvable problem.

Roadmaps are subject to change and even more subject to be delayed, publishing them tends to disappoint more than reassure. If we gave a forward commitment the questions would just be "why not longer?" or "what happens in X + 1 years?".

All we can do is say what I'm saying now: we stand behind this product 100%, we think it solves real problems for developers, and we really hope people will try it out and find it useful.

I get the doubt, truly I do. But Google's incentives are clearly aligned with Cloud Firestore's success: if you folks use it and grow your app to be successful, we make money. If you use it and really like it, you're more likely to use Firebase and Cloud's other products, which will make us even more money.

This is my issue. They have continually sent replacement refurbs that exhibited well known and common problems. This has to be done knowingly.

It's really made me think about an iphone for the first time ever. I refuse to use any non-nexus (or pixel now) Android since I care about software updates and shovelware, so it's either a Pixel or an iPhone at this point. Google shoveling me repeatedly known bad hardware just sits very wrong with me.

Those aren't incongruent thoughts. My one person in Congress can only do so much, and I can believe that they are trying to do the right thing, while being blocked by groups from other states.
I just provided direct quotes from one of the creators of Java, sorry but you're simply wrong to argue you know better what inspired them than they did. Java is a decedent of Smalltalk via Objective C, that is simply a fact. It's well known and accepted they took syntax from C++ as deliberate attempt to entice C++ programmers into Java, that is not evidence they didn't base their inspiration on Smalltalk.

And I quote..

Objective-C was the coolest thing since sliced bread, and I hated C++. So, naturally when I stayed to start the eventually) Java project, Obj-C had a big influence. James Gosling, being much older than I was, he had lots of experience with SmallTalk and Simula68, which we also borrowed from liberally.

Still doesn't explain why the implementation is tied to the headphones and not the cloud-proxy-client (the smartphone/tablet/computer)
The motivation behind this demo:

- looking at svgs on other people's website and noticed the code is often lengthy

Goals:

- to generate random svgs which are short in code size

- be able to quickly browse random svgs to find appealing ones.

One area I could improve is allowing custom templates. Right now, I have hardcoded a template to generate compositions of triangles on points of a hexagon.

If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know. Thanks.

> Wireless headphones are subject to interference while wired ones are not.

The GSM "buzz" would like to have a word with you.

Admittedly it's no longer much of an issue as that standard is not used much anymore, but still...

> I think at best 50% of people would prefer wireless

I'm curious what your sample size on that is, as literally everyone I know who switched to a (good) pair a bluetooth headphones (20+ at this point) is 100% on the wireless bandwagon, myself included.

Admittedly - a large portion of that 20+ samples of anecdata are from pool players who like to wear headphones while playing the game. The fact that there are no wires means that said players no longer have to come up with a way of dealing with the wire to prevent it from interfering in the game (so, sure, my sample is biased).
Trump also campaigned on a lot of highly regressive points, ones which just about any Bernie supporter would reject. Things like the border wall, repealing the ACA, and reducing regulation on business.
Why should anyone ever make that assumption?
> Which problem do you mean?

I was referring to the SMTP issue. I should have made that more clear.

> Both are relatively minor on a scale from "meh" to "OMG shut everything down!". Every major project has security bugs now and then.

Definitely. I don't think the problem itself is that bad. My main issue is that it was introduced with the ramifications in mind (see the original issue) and an RFC specifically stating it should only be used with TLS connections. The only reasonable use case is for connections to localhost; so the fix should have been implemented when the feature was added.

So my main issue is with the culture around the SMTP issue; if the Go contributing community lets an easy to recognize (and was recognized) issue through, I don't have much faith more subtle and important bugs will be properly handled. It may be that more security critical pieces of GO have a more rigorous culture.

> The git-in-git issue is pretty subtle. I'm not surprised it slipped by unnoticed for a while.

I agree.
Coincidentally we've recently shipped a tutorial for Nano except we've decided to build it strait into our editor! After you 'sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt install nano' you can run 'nano' in your terminal. At the bottom of your terminal window you'll see a set of hand-picked lessons displayed for you. Anywhere you see "^" you just hold CNTRL on your keyboard. Unfortunately we didn't have the funds to implement our own content in the tutorial series. You'll have to provide your own textual media to practice on. You can do this by typing "nano <your_file_name>" in the terminal which will launch our tutorial system with your file. The tutorial system is very unobtrusive and will remain on the bottom of your screen until you add 'set nohelp' to your nanorc.
How do guns stop a lorry mounting the pavement? They don't.

Mass shootings cause approximately 50ish deaths or so each year in the US. Actual firearm homicides are around 15,000 a year. That's 0.3% of all deaths. How much effort do you suggest the nation invest into this blip on the radar?

If there's enough information to have Linux on it, porting OpenBSD to it involves less intensive reverse engineering. The Mesa drivers run in userspace, so if a compatible OpenBSD KMS driver for the Vivante is made, you can run the same userspace graphics stack.

Google's "cloud-based" TTS (not the local one, which was terrible) on the Play Books app was pretty good even years ago.

No, overall, you'll be using more power (DAC vs encoding + decoding + DAC). It's just split across two devices you have to charge independently.
The one problem I have with this is that I want `mail.example.com` to always open in my work container, but `mail.example.com` redirects to `mail.google.com` and the latter is what ends up being saved, so it's not possible to assign to different Gmail accounts to different containers.

4chan can be extremely effective in shaping online conversation and mainstream news coverage. The strategy is never explicitly stated and is most likely done unconsciously, but is powerful.

A relatively small number of people shape the mainstream news and a large part is done through gauging public interest. With Twitter, which journalists and editors use extensively, as well as news sites comment sections, motivated groups can storm the place using convincing messages and realistic profiles.

If the journalist perceives a story is going viral and not being covered, they start to amplify. If the story is true, this may be in their interests. The blue check mark networks are extremely influential and so the message spreads rapidly. At this point the snowball has it's own momentum and 4chan can sit back whilst the 'normies' discuss, argue and boost the signal.

Another aspect is 4chan friendly journalists. Not 'respectable' journalists, but with blue checks, a reputation and a lot of followers. They are happy to amplify these stories. Maybe about 10% of these are then picked up but the standard lot, mostly to mock, but the signal is boosted nevertheless.

Basically the tactic is to get a respectable blue-check to amplify the message (positive or negative, doesn't matter) to cause a massive chain reaction.

The journalists are getting played. Some will be aware and happy to partake, many I do not think are aware how much of they perceive to be real public opinion is.

/pol/ has enough latent energy to have an effect. Thousands of bored, qausi-ideological young men. Many are skilled programmers. Government and other psyop manuals are distributed and put into practice. The incentives for the hive to work together for a goal is free. It is mostly for the lulz but with a slant towards their ideology. How much money would it cost for an agency to mobilise a few thousand workers to do a concentrated attack on a target from all angles?

A fascinating group to study in regards to distributed, decentralised mobilisation of people in order to complete a goal.

Heh, in my original post I wanted to follow up that paragraph with a question: Is someone's voice their IP?

Would e.g. Don LaFontaine's family go all J.R.R. Tolkien and forbid the use of his voice in certain contexts?

Then again, for now, it seems that it's easy to get away with synthesizing voices of popular characters as long as you don't use copyrighted names:

"Little Creature" my ass.

Apparently, names are IP, voices not so much. But we can't have nice things because like you said - eventually, someone's going to figure out how to file an effective lawsuit.
the cable also means you can't wear just one bud at a time.
I usually add these old standbys:

-Wimplicit-function-declaration: warn when a function is used without being declared (not needed in -std=c99 mode, but I write in c90). Catches functions not being declared in header files, which would result in broken type checking.

-Wmissing-prototypes: external function is defined without a previous prototype declaration. This catches functions that should be static: you fix it by making the function static, or else by prototyping it (in a header) so that it is properly public.

-Wstrict-prototypes: catches accidental old-style definitions or declarations, like void foo(), which isn't a prototype.
Yeah, but that's a good way to sell vim. Once you've shown someone vim and whet their appetite, it's probably best to show them about 2 or 3 features and let them fill in the blanks while being at least minimally productive.

I've recently taken this approach to emacs and org-mode. I'm a long-time vim user with a super-optimized vimrc, so I know what productivity feels like. I threw in spacemacs to reduce the learning curve, but I still was initially much less productive with org-mode and emacs than with markdown and vim for my TODO lists.

Now, after using org and emacs for three weeks, I'm at the point where several of the amazing features that I had heard about are in my bag of tricks, and it feels awesome! But I've barely tweaked my .spacemacs file, have only learned a bit of org, and am sure that I am nowhere near peak comfort/productivity/flow. But if I had tried to learn all of the things that I know are cool about org-mode, emacs, and spacemacs all at once, I wouldn't have gotten any work done over the past few weeks, and honestly I probably would have given up.

TL;DR: the fancy stuff is the best marketing, but it's best to start slow.
Yeah, I was thinking about exactly this. I'm actually going to try to reach out to the team to see if they're going to be looking into this. Google Books on the rise! Hopefully!

Integrations and deployment. We are targeting data engineers with this not data scientists.

A lot of our user base are people who want to take what the python folks did for creating a feature vector from raw data -> import a model (note this is all in java) and run the training pipeline and test pipeline in the same place.

The goal is to provide an opinionated set of tools for doing this.

Upside here:
It's obvious how to both pre process data and create ndarrays from them. Tighter integration also allows us to make some optimizations under the hood with how memory allocation is handled as well as allows us to target different data types like images + sound as well as databases in the same place.

What I'm guessing here is: You're a data scientist focused on building the models. Someone has to take that code and put it in production. If you work at a startup, production might be "TF serving". If you're a fortune 500,

you're likely not deploying that. People we've worked with are usually constrained in some way (especially by the JVM) .

You aren't our target audience, it's your colleagues.

We'll work backwards from that by adding our python interface and the like, but largely we want to solve a cross team concern after models are built.
We are looking into the data discrepancies, it might take a bit of time to get through the individual errors. DNS + Registrar data seem to have brought on false positives. We need to beef up on Front-end tech too. The real time mapper needs work.

Humbling comments really, we have our work cut out.

Video description:

Leonardo became obsessed with the heart in the latter period of his remarkable life. He made a prediction about the main blood vessel leaving the heart, the aorta. He had figured out how the flow of blood out of the heart actually closes the aortic valve.

Leonardo had no way of testing it and no way of seeing inside a working heart. For centuries no one else even speculated. But in the last 50 years technology has finally been invented to show that he was absolutely right.
If I need to know the exact specs of the processor in the new Pixel laptop, my method of retrieving that information isn't going to be to pull up the 90-minute keynote presentation and skip around to the part where someone on a stage dictates it (or hope that I memorized it when I watched the keynote the first time).

I will just look up that information directly (from the product site's Tech Specs section, or Wikipedia, or one of several other sources).

Faulting a company for not making time during the keynote to include unnecessary, largely irrelevant data is silly. This isn't Intel or NVIDIA unveiling a new microprocessor architecture, it's a consumer product made for browsing the web (which happens to need a CPU/GPU as an implementation detail).
When the solution to losing an adaptor is to buy another set of different adapters, something is wrong.

Software Is About Storytelling
It varies from one Smalltalk language implementation to another.

For MS Windows based Dolphin Smalltalk -- "The Lagoon Deployment Wizard strips out redundant components from your image and shrinks your code down to a tight, single click EXE file. Alternatively, you can choose to additively compose your application by building it up from the raw Dolphin boot image."
Yeah I'm aware. I'm more referring to the comments here, where people use "this is generated by a macro" as a justification even though that only makes sense if you think of preprocessed code as a separate stage from the actual code, which I'm arguing you shouldn't. That said though, I'm surprised they don't treat it that way for other cases like these?

The original comment might not be from a native english speaker. Presumably, they mean 'How difficult is it for Apple to clone this feature?'

It is likely incredible hard to do well by themselves from now, but there's a chance they could pay Google for an API.
I might be able to believe that if Apple were trying to sell the A series chips and compete head-to-head with Qualcomm.

But Apple is not doing that. It is keeping that competitive advantage in house.

Whether you like Apple or not, you have to understand their business model before you criticize it. Apple doesn’t care about competing with component manufacturers. Not even a little bit.

Apple learned this the hard way in the 90s. Don’t compete on price, and don’t compete on specs. Apple happens to be winning on specs right now. The snapdragon procs are not even close to the A-series in performance. But that wasn’t always the case.

This is about maximizing profit. Not about putting anyone out of business.
Because you might want, as I definitely wanted, to also iterate over the feature engineering, not only the network and training parameters. Thus, doing ETL "inline" is really cool, and speeds up your iteration.

It is also easy once you have a proper language that supports multi-threading. Since you do it "full speed" with full utilization of the GPU, there is no disadvantage of doing the ETL while training.
