Don't worry, heroku can barely manage to deploy docker containers into their specialized stack (try it, it's fun and massively disappointing if you have a worker process). This won't affect your heroku apps because they'll basically never be able to upgrade their routing layer. Evidence: their routing layer is already horrendously broken and has been since 2012.
Nice looking app! What did you use for the charts?
See, when I read stuff from racist "scientists" like Charles Murray and people like Sam Harris who validate them who influence guys like James Damore, they never address hiring discrimination but yet use employment and income as a measure of success.
You've phrased the result of the UB in a way that disguises the benefit: your complaint is adding a special case, and for an arbitrary memcpy(x, y, n) call, the compiler would have to provide it isn't in this special case (i.e. n != 0) or else it couldn't assume x != nullptr && y != nullptr. The codegen benefit isn't when n == 0, but when n is unknown.

Being in the US without status is a civil violation, not a criminal offense.

The Supreme Court ruled in 2012 [1] that a removable alien being in the US is not a crime. They can be deported, sure, but it's not a crime and therefore shouldn't be locked up (except as a temporary measure before deportation). It's only a crime if you crossed illegally, but that's a fraction of the cases. Most "removable aliens" entered legally, but overstayed their visas.

> Now throw in the fact that if even one illegal immigrant commits one crime, that's one more crime committed than if there was no illegal immigrant.

Replace "illegal immigrant" with "jew", and you'll hopefully see my point. Keep in mind that undocumented immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than citizens. They lower the crime rate.

Right so I think we were agreeing that how database servers bake in the ML is a bit weird and not the way to go.

The "open ended coding library" is datavec here. Comparing them here is only really semi valid. The processes there are definitely brittle.
I really like the sound of this, and it's one of the reasons I've persisted with learning vim. But I have to admit, I have remapped a fair amount of stuff, so I'm not sure if it would apply to me.
Do those vim-mode plugins allow you to remap keys or load your vimrc?

That sounds unusually bad. I don't know in your specific case, but I see parents dropping young kids off as the same block as the school. Or even across the street if there are regular crossing guards which provides even more surface area.

I can only suggest this is the kind of thing that's generally fixable by a local community.
I'm not sure what the argument here is. That the US would be better off if Republicans and Democrats spoke mutually unintelligible languages? By what logic does it make sense to say "group A and group B are at odds; group A and group B speak the same language; therefore we disprove that speaking the same language will ever resolve anything"?
Yup that was exactly the one!

I’m thinking it would both make cities less crowded (less violence) and income and gainful employment are strongly correlated to positive mental states.

Interesting.

My support experience with the 6p was pretty good : when the battery became unusable they replaced the phone without asking too many questions (they just made sure I had followed all the basic steps to make sure that the problem was indeed hardware, even though I am a mobile engineer able to diagnose the device myself. I don't rely blame them for having to follow a script though).

Anecdotally my support experience with Apple has been atrocious :
-they refused to repair my mbp 2011 whereas it suffered from their well known design flaw in the GPU soldering and have a repair program for this model.

-they made me pay reparation fees for a mbp for which all the cooling system started malfunctioning while it was still in the warranty period.
And the world is a far better place for the ability of a portion of Muslims and Americans to communicate. What's your point?
Local sectarian conflicts are definitely a problem in lots of places, but a bigger problem in the US right now is that lots of folks never meet anyone outside their own culture. I'm not sure making it easier to communicate will help (lots of people don't even have passports...), but maybe it will, and I don't see how it could hurt.
We knew this going in. We decided to trade human rights and to empower an authoritarian government for cheap pants and blood-electronics. I’ve prayed just now, but I did so with a new iPad Pro 12.9” in my lap. I have no idea how to help.
> - How could CI/CD be set up? (Is read-only access possible to the repo? Would Keybase work on a Jenkins box? Could a deploy server verify signatures before deploying?

You could have a deploy/CI user as a "reader" in your team. But we don't yet support hooks or anything (as that implies running arbitrary code on endhosts without their knowledge), so it would have to pull the repo.

> Could one set up mirroring to GitHub? How would this work? (I could see the signing without encryption as a value-add)

You can of course continue to use Github as a regular remote, but you'd lose all the encryption and signing unfortunately.

> - What happens in the event of a force push? Could certain users destroy history?

We do currently allow force pushes. Being able to turn that off on a repo-by-repo basis is something we'll consider in the future, definitely.

> Could protected branches eventually be added, eg only certain users can push to master?

Yes, but again, as with any "server"-side feature, this is complicated by the fact that it has to run on the client itself, and thus isn't really strictly enforceable against modified clients.

As we get more experience with people using this, we will definitely be thinking about how to make it better by adding power features like these. Thanks for the feedback!

> Mexico is not South America

You're right of course, the N in NAFTA, what was I thinking. I mean to say South of the border I think.

> basically linear increase in Mexicans coming to the US started before NAFTA.

One of the goals of NAFTA was to decrease it. With the idea that skilled jobs would be provided locally. But that didn't happen. I found this study http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1870355016... looking at 20 years after NAFTA. 10 years ago in 2007 there was this article which I had saved in my bookmarks: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/18/weekinreview/18uchitelle.h... it also talks about the effects on jobs in Mexico and how many of the promises didn't materialize.

So I think Chomsky was pretty good at predicting what would happen.
*ACM, want to see how bad things are, read this thread....

To understand Smalltalk in general one neeeds to understand the impetus; and behind it is Alan Kay. What we do today isn’t really “computing” as envisioned and then created in the 70s. Lots of those terms used back then are used now, but the meaning has been transformed into something entirely different.

It’s unfortunate that most of the things we call “state of the art” are bastardized and horrible versions of those from the 60s and 70s. Yet here we are in 2017 and we can’t have the majority of “computer users” create an essay defending his/her views on climate change with an actual editable running model upon which a civil discussion could be based on. But hey, we will have an iPhone X, so who cares?

Smalltalk is like a gem, a remnant from a magical world that existed and went away - but still possible - if we just took a look way, way back as to where it all originated.

For the CS students out there, get your money’s worth and start asking where all this stuff we have now came from and more importantly, why.

Here’s a good start:

A Personal Computer for Children of All Ages:
https://www.mprove.de/diplom/gui/kay72.html
“The basic idea is to exploit the duality between functions and tables (or processes and memory). English has nouns which refer to "objects", and verbs which refer to "actors" and "relators". This is a Newtonian epistemology. Modern physics and philosophy tend towards the idea that both "objects" and "actors" are just different aspects of the notion of process. A process has state (a set of relations having only to do with it) which changes as time (defined as interactions with other objects) passes. Using this view "data" is a process which changes "slowly", "function" is a process which changes more rapidly. Each process has the logical attributes of a complete "micro" computer: they can have inputs, give back outputs, act as a memory on file system, perform computations, be interrupted, etc. Since a "computer" can simulate all other computers (modulo time and space), having the notion of a process in a language allows useful idea such as arrays, records, recursive procedures, etc., to be added to the the repertoire at any time.”
It is funny, this is the first thing I did but I found two big problems:

1. The data is delayed or it is pulling from one exchange.

2. The graph on stocks isn't too great.

3. Not all the coins are covered.

4. The news, it turns out, doesn't work too well for crypto. There is a huge community factor:

- There are publications.

- There are developers

- There are government developments.

So to capture all that, you need a richer set of sources to filter through.
Many years ago as a teenager I was opening my first bank account.

Mother's maiden name was one of the fields. This seemed intrinsically insecure. So I filled out 'banana' and made a mental note. The bank actually called home, I was not home, said the field hadn't been filled out, and requested the information from a family member.

I was stunned.

Hi,

There is a open source project here:

https://github.com/Herb-Sun/OKKLineSwift

but I had to fix a ton of issues to get it to work with multiple currencies at the same time.
The argument is that

>If Joe Sixpack and Mohammed can communicate with each other they won't sit idly by while the fear-mongers use the other to justify terrorism/enforced liberty importation

is easily disproven by the fact that this still happens all the time among people who speak the same language. Speaking a different language doesn't help communication obviously, but speaking the same language doesn't magically remove prejudice and hatred.
You can have team-based or private repos hosted by Keybase. Everything is encrypted and signed before it leaves your computer, and decrypted and verified when your computer downloads it. But your local checkout of that git repo is unencrypted. It's just a normal repo. So Github Desktop has full access to it, like it does for all files in your local filesystem.

@dragonwriter is right, because we're talking about infinities. There is some non-zero chance you'll flip a coin heads 10,000 times in a row. In an infinite amount of time, that series of events is guaranteed to happen at some point (Poincaré makes sure of that, although it might take billions or trillions of years).
You've defined a fair game [1], one which you're just as likely to win or lose, by the same amount each time. Clearly neither side of this game has an advantage over the other, for any given coin toss. But you expect that long term it will work in your favour?

[1] technically it's a martingale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(probability_theory...
I don't think many people realize it even now. This is nothing compared to what's coming I bet.
That’s not true at all. If you bet 100% of your bankroll then yes. But you’re not factoring in that you calculate what percentage of your bankroll to bet given certain odds.

If given 51% odds every time you will win considering you manage your bankroll well.

This is well known as “Kelly Criterion”
I've used "Voice Dream" for this for years. It's brilliant. iOS/Android text to speech app:

http://www.voicedream.com/reader/

It has so many voices available in the voice store, and I've had no trouble reading books with it. I'm constantly amazed by the quality of some of these voices when played at high speed... They take breaths, express emotion, everything. My only problem is they occasionally mispronounce brands, names & acronyms: Quite amusing to learn about "Sharr-E-poynt" instead of "SharePoint", "Amd" not "A.M.D", or use an incorrect pronunciation of a character in a book when talking about the book... Can't really see how WaveNet would fix that, but look forward to seeing these voices turn up in Voice Dream.
I think Taleb likes to think of himself as a scholar so smart that has destroyed mainstream scholarship and his contributions are not being recognized by the lesser scholars. But he's smart enough to recognize that he's just not that deep of a thinker or has anything particularly insightful to say (outside of some financial modeling topics perhaps) so he uses all that pedantic prose and name dropping to cover for it. He's certainly cashing on it so it's not like he's going to stop but I can't shake the feeling that he knows, is bitter and that shows in his writing.

On the document management end of things: that's exactly what the public/yourname/ subdirectory of KBFS is-- every document there gets signed when edited, then they're automatically verified (by the KBFS client) when someone tries to download them (either the original author, or another Keybase user).

There's no explicit signing process involved, but that's part of Keybase's value proposition: automatic and transparent public key cryptography.
Change to ""50,000 (carefully) randomly selected people in the US, for whom you have strong evidence that they won't lie about their gun ownership" and you're going to get nearer the truth. I guess that falls under "carefully", but it needs to be made explicit.

Basically, any study or poll on a controversial topic should be considered of little value until positively proven otherwise. If one point of view (or whatever) has been widely demonized (e.g., gun owners, Trump voters), you're almost certain to get garbage results (e.g., "Hillary Clinton has a 90% probability of winning the election").

Hmm I’d never thought about swearing as a social signifier of freedom. That it shows dominance and that you are “free to do as you like”. What I’d be interested in knowing is if people really respond to this psychologically?

My phone has an headphone jack but I don't use it more than twice a year.

I use bluetooth buds on my phones. tbh I am not entirely sold on having a wireless device so close to my brain either. It is way more convenient than having a cable though.

At the office, I just use full size headphones (the kind you can't run with) plugged into my laptop.
Google TTS supports both. Maps prefers the cloud one so that you're not at the mercy of whatever TTS your manufacturer has installed (Samsung uses their own, right?), but will fall back to the local one it there's no connectivity. I can't remember if the Google TTS implements that or if it's custom to Maps.
Mm, I see what you mean. It seems like voicetext.jp has more "correct" prosody, and seems to reproduce vocal fry correctly, I'm noticing that's missing from the WaveNet sample now. There's still some work to be done around filtering with voicetext, I hear pretty glaring artifacts between the units, whereas WaveNet doesn't produce any such artifacts.

There are some things I pretty much only get done during my commute, like reading more challenging literature. Fun books are great when I'm falling asleep in bed, but deeper books require me to set aside time when I'm not tired—which rarely happens except on trains.
There is also -Wlogical-op-parentheses, which rather condescendingly implies that you don't know the precedence of || vs &&. (The main use of parentheses is specifically to indicate precedence different from the usual, since otherwise they just add noise to the code and reduce clarity.) I half-expect -Warithmetic-op-parentheses or even -Wop-parentheses to show up in some future version of clang...

Unfortunately there's no corresponding -Wuseless-parentheses, which if present would truly make -Weverything a "damned if you do, damned if you don't".
How could they neglect wireless charging and the headphone jack?

looking at the comments, I'm beginning to think the flagging was appropriate

Flagging/downvoting the comments would be appropriate in that case; the article should stand on its own merit.
I’m not completely convinced that Taleb isn’t an elaborate hoax designed to win the Turing test.

Look, I don’t like being so harsh. But the guy gets really fundamental things really really wrong. He makes me angrier than Gladwell combined with the Freakonomics guys. Which is a lot.

There’s a genre of pop-statistics that is genuinely bad for people. And it all follows the same pattern. Science says x is true, but if you think about it, surprising y thing is true. Because I’m a special snowflake, and so are you.

It’s absolute garbage.

And I don’t even know that much about stats. I dropped out of a violin performance and music theory degree. I just read a few stats textbooks and had some good professional mentors because some of this is relevant to my work as a data engineer.

This is basic level stuff that’s going wrong. The guy is clueless about everything he writes. But I’ll give it to him that he’s a genius at marketing.

He publishes books and makes money off of them. I do not. So he wins that way. But if I ever write a book, it won’t be in the fiction section where his belongs.
