Hmm, it's tough. I'm a proponent of uncensored speech, too, but Reddit was really bad during the election. Both Trump (Russia) and Clinton (Correct the Record) covered the site with hundreds of thousands of comments, most of which were indistinguishable from regular comments. Not just political subreddits; everywhere.

People are illogical; they follow what they read. If you read a comment that says something about Clinton or Trump, and it has 3.2k upvotes, some part of you somewhere is going to start to absorb that opinion. Rinse and repeat, ad nauseam. Pretty soon they didn't need to pay for comments; people adopted and repeated and believed the sentiments themselves.

That being said, I have no clue how to begin to fix this without clamping down on the Internet and free speech, which I'm against. But it is a very real problem.

I like that tech very much; but I also think we ought to learn how to understand others POV, and not assume too much about their personality, experience, reactions ..
Arguably, in cities without good public transportation, car insurance has inelastic demand too. Further, it's being used to do things like backdoor in ubiquitous surveillance using GPS.

One also wonders what the effect car insurance has had on repair costs, for similar reasons as healthcare.

My point is that adding an insurance burden onto guns isn't a clear win, unless you assume that further government intervention (by the queerly circuitous route of private-sector insurance involvement the US seems to like) is unquestionably good. It also doesn't make sense to require insure for guns that are used for target shooting a few times a year.

Frankly, given the huge number of firearms and owners in this country and the rather small amount of violence they produce, it would probably be a bigger win to ask for mandatory insurance on pools, ladders, fast-food, sugary drinks, and so forth.
As I point out in a sibling comment, reporting aberrant behaviour can be difficult because the cause is usually unclear. Why is Code Helper using 100% CPU? Who knows. It happens every few days and doesn't seem be related to anything specific I do. More tools (such as a "task manager" similar to Chrome's) to gain visibility into what VSCode is doing would help here.
I think there's value in having a camera there, even if it's shitty. It means you are always carrying around a device capable of image/video recording, which is tremendously useful.
The team seriously deserves it.

For what it's worth, I think my above comment is my highest upvoted comment of all time. There's a lot of people out there who want Keybase to succeed.
Some of those products are wildly different. Narrative and Cube are barely competing with one another. Cube is a mini GoPro. Narrative was an all day wearable device. There is a shortage of small, quality wearable devices (specifically cameras of course in this instance).
Website Word Count and Keyword Density Tool for SEO
You're right that with Electron that's not an issue as you control the browser. I was comparing the equivalent issue in web dev to the "write once run anywhere" issue in Java. If you pick the users operating system e.g. only support Windows then of course, there are no cross platform issues with Java either
Plain and simple little tool that uses a modified version of the arc90labs readability algorithm to provide keyword density information about the main article as well as the page as a whole.

I'm looking for suggestions on other useful information that could be parsed/displayed in the resulting tables.

Cheers!
Where does the revenue come from again?

Anyway, I think a lot of people will be more influenced by a targeted video ad than a random post on reddit. But that's like, just my opinion.
In view of what Donald Trump has done and weighed with the views expressed by Steve Bannon, Trump's presidency seems to be destroying the US government, at worst, or grossly mismanaging it, at best. For one, consider the wholesale dismantling of the State Department. For two, the continued lack of political appointments to positions throughout the government. He fired all of the US Attorneys.

I do track those. I didn't need to update my app at any point for them because most vulnerabilities in the JRE are to do with sandbox escapes and my app did not run potentially malicious code.
Thanks! Upcoming will be samediff which will allow a pytorch like api on the JVM as well as our python interface jumpy:

https://github.com/deeplearning4j/jumpy

The hope here is to be able to "meet" the python frameworks here and run side by side benchmarks that anyone who only knows TF could do.

For those that don't know: DL4j is somewhere in between keras and TF flexibility wise.

Samediff will be a bit "closer" to what people in python see/understand.

The goal there is to import models from different frameworks and run them in production.

They did, they were called "Google Play Editions".[0]

No one bought them, because they were released at a time when people still paid subsidized phone prices and upgraded their phones every two years for $200. So when they were asked to pay $600 upfront, the vast majority had sticker shock.

Why would you expect them to support the phone indefinitely outside of warranty or a support contract?

My Nexus 5X had a boot loop issue, I filed a support ticket, paid the deductible, and 2 days later I had a replacement phone in hand. Couldn't have been easier...
It's at least partially true:

This is valid:

This is not valid:

All that means is that they at least used Google Apps at one time. I have a number of abandoned accounts that show as valid even though the domains are dead and the accounts are no longer used.

The same type of domain enumeration doesn't work for Drive.

No. What you described is the problem of Byzantine generals, for which

because it's not agreement protocol.
How do you leave it attached when you plug it into your laptop and how do you listen while you charge? Great that it works for you, but having another dongle that you can lose, and have to attach and remove throughout the day is a real pain for others.
I also like the idea, but isn't it already tried with the transputer computer?

And since programming is still mostly just chaining actions together, maybe we are just not very good at using other paradigms.
TIL; thank you.
Of course, it should be called 'Google Babel Fish'.

If you use Sublime Text instead of the countless quite usable - if perhaps not as good - text editors out there chances are you use it professionally.

For someone using such a tool professionally and earning good money while doing so $80 already is a ridiculously low price.

There are professionals though who for reasons I never quite seemed to understand aren't willing to pay for the tools they use. Absurdly enough this habit is particularly common with developers and companies making money by selling software.

To them 60 USD less wouldn't make a difference. They would never buy the product anyway. So, lowering the price doesn't make any sense at all.

This particular example is just one instance of a more general, widespread fallacy in the software industry: Because software can essentially be copied and reproduced for free people seem to think that the tools used for creating that software have to be available for free as well (many open source tools indeed coming for free doesn't exactly help in this case either).

Many organisations have no qualms with wasting a huge amount of employee time on meetings or on engineers being less productive because they use inadequate or sub-par tools. Yet at the same time the same organisations often tend to make a huge fuss about buying tools that cost a tiny fraction of that waste of time while helping with eliminating that waste.

Wouldn't it be better to run the linter in the background and have the editor mark the problem lines? I have keyboard shortcuts bound to "next marker" and "previous marker" so I can jump to the next problem.

They don't work across an entire workspace, sadly, and I have an outstanding Github issue about it that has not seen any activity for years. Project-wide linting is something that VSCode really lacks right now. For example, it's easy to change something in one file that breaks another file, but you won't get any error markers until you go to the broken file.
It wouldn't have been possible to do as a webapp at all, as the app in question was a peer to peer app that spoke a fairly complex network protocol that doesn't support WebSockets (Bitcoin). But even if that issue hadn't existed, the development time went mostly on logic and p2p/networking issues. HTML wouldn't have helped and JavaFX supports a dialect of CSS2 anyway.
From C99 on, it's either one of: two's complement, ones' complement, or sign + magnitude.
I had the opposite experience. My Nexus 5X randomly stopped working (which it shouldn't have obviously, but a different discussion). Google were great to deal with. Got put through to a human very quickly and he just asked me to email a few photos of the phone just to make sure it wasn't smashed to pieces.

After I sent them, within a few days a brand new Nexus was delivered along with a return package for my broken one. They didn't even demand I send back the faulty one first. He said the idea was that you won't be without a phone in the interim (irrelevant in my case however as the phone was bricked).
Cynicism isn't actually insightful.

Even what you allege is frightening -- I don't care if he's acting partly out of self interest, the prospect of a foreign state's propaganda arm being able to control the national narrative rather than domestic forces is extremely dangerous to citizens. That is, you and me.

There's every indication that they're trying to do so and have results that demonstrate at least some efficacy.

I just can't read these sorts of comments as anything but outright Dunning-Kruger about governance, the dangers of propaganda, etc.

Automation never results in more leisure. It results in more specialized work and increased workloads. The sentiment expressed in the first line is why I intend to stay working remotely for as long as possible. I hated the fact I saw a drab grey cubicle farm more than my house and family.

One can't say much good about Breivik, but he was committed.
Most of the mass shootings in the US are done by some "looser" who a semi automatic from his mom.

You can't prevent murder, but you can make it harder.

You’re not imagining it. With 8 hours of sleep and a 9 hour work day plus all the other things that are effectively ‘required’, we are left with about 4 free hrs per weekday in a very optimistic scenario (commute is 30 minutes each way, you’re really fast with your bathroom routine, you down breakfast super quick, dinner and lunch are 30 mins each, etc).

The upper limit of achievable ‘free’ time per week is about 25% of total time (42 hrs). Most people don’t get nearly that much.

In that 25%, you need to fit: socialization, child care, parental care, leisure, events, learning, hobbies, planning, physical activity, non-essential shopping, medical care, etc.

What’s amazing is that we’ve collectively inflicted this state of affairs upon ourselves. Generally speaking, no one’s boss has it any better than their subordinates (usually they have it worse) - if you keep iterating by that logic, you end up in a loop because you eventually get to shareholders, investors, and customers.

And then the picture gets even more bleak when you realize people are averaging something like 3-4 hours per day on waste like TV and social media.
`mr` is good for keeping track of, and working with, many repos in bulk.

IIRC it has a good man page explaining more advanced use.
In my opinion, it is easy and sensible to declare that memcpy(0,0,0) shall be undefined, especially because, again, no sensible program should ever reach that case without error (which, again, is different from the memcpy(p1, p2, 0) with p1/p2 != 0 case which can be sensible reached).

It's common to see valid but semantically-meaningless constructs like that in autogenerated C code. Same with quite a few other cases mentioned in the article.

It's just not a good idea for a compiler author to arbitrarily start throwing warnings for memcpy(a,b,0) at this late date, regardless of a and b. That ship has sailed, leaks and all.
Agreed! I can't wait to receive my development kit next year, and phone a few months after! I have but one regret: that I don't have more money to throw at this campaign.
While driving the headphones, sure - I'll believe that in certain cases with high-draw headphones. But from a daily power drain perspective, I find that very hard to believe. Bluetooth transmitting is going to be orders of magnitude higher draw than corded earbuds. And when you're not actively listening, standby is still digging Bluetooth further in the hole.
Taleb loses me at the end (Nicomachean ethics? come on), but I love his "take risks, but don't take stupid risks" stance. A stance which I first encountered in How to Legally Own Another Person[1].

The key takeaway is twofold, in my opinion:

- People underestimate tail risk in their day-to-day: Bob smokes and drinks daily and eats red meat and doesn't exercise at all. These are "small" events independent of each other, but the aggregate will probably lead to ruin (probably a heart attack in his mid-50s).

- People overestimate tail risk (due to a lack of courage[2]): Jill says she's "risk averse" and that she won't start a business because it might ruin her -- although in the grand scheme of things, 6 months of your life and a $10,000 investment are not ruin-inducing.

These tools never work well, usually a weak combination of scraping the html, JS tags and checking DNS entries. Siftery tried something similar with a bunch of VC raised and is equally bad.

Not the coworker, but I've been doing this for a couple years. If you're on iOS, the simplest option is Voice Dream Reader [1].

It can read .epub files directly, along with text files and webpages, and integrates with Dropbox, Pocket, Gutenberg, etc.

On Android, you can get Voice Dream Reader (though it has less features than on iOS) or @Voice Aloud Reader which is free [2].

The restrict keyword is supposed to enable optimizations, not to increase safety. You promise you won't access the memory location through different pointers and the compiler throws some precautions overboard.
Last I checked, this only makes sense on US keyboards. On most non-US keyboards, the backtick requires option/alt and isn't practical as a shortcut.
seems like the 100's of dollars people pay is not enough to keep the phone running for even 2 years.

Looks interesting. I'm weary of products actually launching. This is still pretty new so it'll be a while before we know if it comes out. I'd be interested in it though.
I think you raise a good point, which honestly begs the answer to a high-level unsolved problem: can you guarantee a 1-1 relationship between a person and an account online. Even better if that account can also be anonymous.

The implications to solving both could bring functional change to trolling and bot traffic in open forum sites.

I make the same analogy all the time, but I'm reminded of an old joke[1]:

A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop.

The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage.

"Hey, Doc, want to take a look at this?"

The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its' heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I make $39,675 a year and you get the really big bucks ($1,695,759) when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic.....

"Try doing it with the engine running."

I have an idea for a poker metric that measures your risk for entire tournament. Each time you face elimination, your percent chance of surviving is multiplied together. So let's say you finish a tournament and faced all in 3 times with these survival rates:

80% * 50% * 70% = 28%

Then you would have a maximum of 28% chance of reaching that point again.

We look for junior developers who are "coachable": we can teach them the skills they lack and they will learn quickly.

As a junior developer where I work, we aren't expecting you to know a lot coming in. But we do expect you to have a good attitude and to want to learn. We can teach you how to write software, but we can't teach you about work ethic.

We have one developer who started 10 years ago without a college degree. He's a team lead now.

In summary:
- You should want to learn from the senior developers
- You should have a positive attitude
- You should have a good work ethic (show up on time, help your coworkers, shouldn't act like any task is beneath your skill level)

It seems like this should have been noticed earlier. If you are working on authentication code, you should think about how it could be used by a malicious actor.

Fast API Prototyping with Webtask.io and Serverless
My main concern with vendor lock-in in hosting (not just cloud), is that it'll easily turn business problems into ops problems. Credit card suspended because of (possibly spurious) "suspicious activity"? Cloud account suspended for non-payment. Trouble with hosting company x invoicing? Same result. Spurious DMCA takedown filed? Maybe a TOS violation - account suspended. Etc...

It's not so much that most of these would be permanent - but it does add risk of downtime from the "not ops domain" to the ops domain.

And multiple providers isn't a universal fix - but it might mitigate some risk.
Maybe Galileo did not, but others have.

The gold standard is a model that explains that behavior, and experimental studies that work as the model predicts. The model that big ricks fall faster makes sense, but it isn't backed by experiences. Many studies have seemed to show something but in fact the authors just didn't realize they had to control for something important (sometimes an accident, sometimes outright scientific fraud)

I think that's pretty disingenuous. Humans are vulnerable to influence. In theory that is a feature more than a bug, but that's not super relevant to this point.

There are a number of steps that our country could take towards having elections that require or at least strongly encourage more informed voting. I think a solid first step would be stripping all party affiliations from the ballots. If you want to vote for only one party blindly, that's fine, but you are going to need to memorize the name of the Democrat running for the school board then.

Other/alternative steps include switching to STV or Ranked Choice voting, and anything that discourages a duopoly in political parties, such as mixed member proportional representation and perhaps even making the president an appointed position. Some of that is pretty out there though.
Opt-in mining as a form of micropayment for content might be interesting, though. But the key term there is opt-in.
