Since Wittgenstein, Umberto Eco, Roland Barthes? How will you improve your knowledge and understanding of concepts if you don't argue in order to find out the best way of expressing them? Common sense is not a substitute for knowledge. Blanket statements and short dismissals are not a way of furthering our understanding of inference engines and whether subjective experience is required for intelligence and how to quantify that subjective experience.
It is fairly straightforward, created a pastebin showing how it can be done, you can also make it check that it is implemented at compile time but the logic around that is a bit iffy:

No, I noticed it right away and I'm no photography expert. I suppose it's easy to control that in software, though, preferably before they actually enable the feature in Android 8.1.

I also don't know if Google actually consults with real photography experts when creating these machine learning techniques. Apple made a big deal out of doing that at the last event to create "beautiful photos". It's not enough to just "mathematically improve" something. It should look very pleasing to the human eye, too.

Perhaps if Google did that, too, it would have avoid issues such as this one, or the somewhat unrealistic look of its portrait mode blur in photos. It's hard to explain, but to me the Pixel 2 portrait shots look like the person doesn't "belong" in the environment. Like they have a linear-blur wallpaper behind them and they photograph themselves in front of it. Or almost like they are photoshopped into the image. I wouldn't say it's that bad. And a majority of people probably won't notice it immediately, but I still think it needs to be improved (perhaps, I don't know, by actually using a dual-camera setup like Apple and Samsung?).

I agree with your point. I also feel people think this is a panacea. The reality is this will just move the attack vector from phishing or key logging to an HID server feature in RAT software.

Neither is java a simple language, nor does Java code compile quickly, in my experience.

However the largest disadvantage of Java is Java programs generally consume more than 10x more memory than the same scale Go programs, and need 20x more time to fully to warm up.

I do admit Java is more consistent than Go from the syntax design view.
As a library user it's a pet peeve of mine. If I ever see a book in wrong place, I just put it back where it belongs. There's noting more infuriating than not finding a book and knowing it's somewhere in there.

With that volume, wouldn't a dedicated Mailgun IP have been worthwhile? You've got enough mail to gain reputation on it, and the flat fee + lower per-email charges could match or be cheaper than Postmark.

You're begging the question here. Apple's acquisition of PA Semi filled a void. You assume a similar void.
Performance shouldn't be a compelling reason to change the language for a project. If they have truly benchmarked, profiled, reworked hotspots using Cython and looked into major bottlenecks such as IO and Python still isn't performing up to scratch then fair enough.
Perhaps they just finished the book and didn't want to carry it about any more?

Fair point, re: Intel.

I will have to check out that tool, sounds like it could be useful.

I guess, though, this highlights part of why it feels so gimmicky. I, like a lot of people using MacBook Pros, spend about 60% of my time on my work laptop docked with external monitors, keyboard, and mouse. Since there are no external keyboards with a TouchBar available, I now have two very different experiences when I'm docked vs undocked.

I'm sure I could use something to create virtual function keys and get back the original functionality and have a roughly similar experience to when I'm using an external keyboard, but then I'm paying extra money for that hardware and losing tactile feedback.

Whenever I read about neutron stars, they are always too far away (like millions of light years), so I did a quick search and found one closest to earth about 250 to 1000 light years and apparently it is above the plane of the milky way galaxy.

I wish we could watch these neutron stars and black holes more closely, we know so little about the universe.
Why would it? Just because it's Metal-optimised doesn't mean it'll magically stop running OpenGL/whatever else. I'm pretty sure Unity, GameMaker, SDL et al will add a Metal-optimised backend pretty quickly too.
The date when it was discovered is irrelevant - no astronomer cares about that. You should think of it as a unique string associated with some data + coordinates.

The client, from my very limited testing, expects the url of the zsync file as an input. The zsync file can point to anywhere else for listing the canonical version.

So you'd zsync http://third-party/file.zsync and this file would contain the url for the main file.

I'm not sure, I've not managed to get it working on a simple file yet.

"Humans work well with ambiguity and context"

Not so sure about the "well" part there. I've encountered people who love to make guesses about the context (and others who actually wish you'd do the same). That coupled with ambiguity creates disasters varying from ordering the wrong lunch to broken relationships.

I'd rather have humans take less pride in being ambiguous and make attempts to be as precise as possible.
Insync is one option (you do have to pay though) that works much like Google's client; there are other command line options too.
Yeah, agreed. I screen captured the unprocessed image from the webpage (which has been jpeg'd and therefore lost lots of the shadow detail). I loaded it into a paint package and did a simple (and computationally cheap) histogram adjustment. IMO, the results were at least as good as theirs. And these are the results they cherry picked. Not impressive.

I guess most people won't load the image into a paint package to fix it, so their aim is just to automatically do a job nearly as good as a trivial change a human would make. Still, I was hoping for more.
I think the article is not that bad. I specially like the comparison of : well python was a bit faster to develop with, but much longer to optimize. Note they actually used Python long enough to actually spend quite some time to consider the move to go; this means that performance of Python were ranging from good enough to barely enough for a (hopefully) long period of time. Also note the scale of operations of that company, if Python hold for say 10% of that scale, then it's certainly good enough for me !

That basically confirms the strength and weakness of python : it's very good for prototyping and if performance issues arise (and that can be later than one think), it's tough to optimize.
In practice, they should distinguish between / (I meant this alternative to be ordered, because I care about something) versus | (no ordering required, because I know only one choice will ever be picked), and come up with a way to determine that a | generates an ambiguity.
What are those best interests?

In this case the Trump administration wanted to protect Boeing against Bombardier by denying access to a key market, making Bombardier's entire C-* project unprofitable. The outcome (so far) is that Airbus/Bombardier can still make the airplane and export to any country from either Canada or the US, whichever has the best trade conditions. This does not sound favourable for Boeing's export business.

AIUI this isn't an unusual outcome: A government wants to protect domestic business against imports, accidentally hurts its own exports and offends someone in the process. The domestic business may be its best interest but that's hardly obvious.
You're right that Go/Java have async style similar to Erlang. But the majority of production systems today that these languages run is some sort of web application. In this area, the Erlang VM holds its own pretty well, especially for websockets [1]. In that study Elixir's memory usage is higher, but total connections were almost identical to Go.

It'd be great if there were better benchmarks for common use cases of various languages. Spring on the Java side tends to be heavy on reflection usage, which is orders of magnitude slower than JIT'ed JVM methods. Benchmarks like the benchmark game don't capture this. Still despite that the Erlang VM performs very well on the benchmarks game compared to other dynamic/scripting languages. Often it's easily 5-10 times faster than Python or Ruby. Given the parents comment, I'd argue many programmers who enjoy developing with dynamic languages can do so with Elixir with comparable performance to Go/Java for high concurrency web applications.

Depends on how much money you spend. It's still not easy, but if you're in decent shape, spend the proper time acclimatizing, go during good weather, and pay for a boatload of sherpas to handle everything and guide you and only you, you'll probably survive. If you're in a group or only have one or two, the resources might not (probably won't) exist for them to do much if it happens where they're going to be severely taxed themselves... But 4 or 5 sherpas spending 100% of their time focused on keeping you (and themselves) alive can probably do it, and I'd call it a fairly controlled risk.

Now, whether or not you've really accomplished anything if you've had a team of people babysitting you to the top is another thing altogether.

"Look at communities today where a large percentage of people live on government aid."

pretty sure i live in one of them, so tell me what i see.

"People need a reason to exist and meaningful work to do."

how are they managing now? most people have a lot of meaningless work and i don't know anyone that can tell me the reason they exist beyond empty platitudes.

"Very few have the drive and discipline to become artists/inventors/philosophers/musicians/actors."

you only need some special drive for that stuff, (collectively called playing), to push forward with it while working a day-job.

"Plus the majority of those who do become artists are unlikely to create anything that the rest of society would value."

roughly all of them, really. at least that's how it is right now and i don't see why it would change.

k, let's do basic income, then see what needs improving ;)
>Apple made a big deal out of doing that at the last event to create "beautiful photos". It's not enough to just "mathematically improve" something.

There are many non-obvious issues with this as well. You're most likely thinking of, for example, an non-centered subject can create an interesting composition and algorithmically centering the subject would not create better looking photos.

However, in film's history, we've seen older technology briefly preferred for no other reason than momentum. An example off the top of my head is higher frame rate video does not have the "movie feel" that 24 fps film does. That doesn't mean 24 fps is ideal, its simply familiar.

GE has been in business for 125 years and is still going strong. Not unreasonable to expect the same for at least some tech companies.
They let them out because they believe they are no longer a threat. That's different than what people call their debt, in that it is just a portion of the total debt.

If not obvious, I don't agree with that sentiment. I think prisons should be about reform more than debt or punishment. Very few people pose a real risk and a significant number of them could be reformed, if studies are to be believed.
I guess we may see an upgrade in Surface Connect by next generation. Any chance, TB3 could be included in clipboard itself?
I'd say that simplest "production-ready" criterion is this: does it have an officially supported and stable release of a IntelliJ IDE (there is a slight Java-ecosystem bias, but I think it's only slight).

So the mainstream languages are...: C/C++, C#, F#, Go, Groovy, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Kotlin, Objective-C, PHP, Python, Ruby, Scala, SQL, Swift, VB.NET (source: https://www.jetbrains.com/products.html).

Sounds about right :)

Mastering Modular JavaScript
I also have a second gen 12" Macbook. It has by far the worst and most dangerous (!) keyboard I've ever used on a laptop. I loved the form factor and tried as hard I could for months (!) to find a way to type on those keys without it significantly hurting my hands but failed. I now also always use a physical mechanical external keyboard instead. The keyboard surprisingly turns out to probably be the biggest drawback of that computer (I didn't expect the keyboard of all things to be such a big problem on a mac).

I've been a loyal mac laptop user for over a decade, but definitely my next laptop purchase won't be a mac...
There's a sweeping exemption from the DPA for the purposes of "national security". Any minister can issue a certificate stating that a given activity is for the purposes of national security and therefore exempt & these certificates can be issued retrospectively.

> The fact he wrote this 65 years ago yet the labor force and population have grown in lockstep

Only the reporting has grown in lockstep. The metrics have changed to make this happen. Some of the real story can be seen in these graphs:

https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000

https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS12026620

(you'll have to change the dates to get the full picture. Works with a POST so I can't link to it. Note that unemployment essentially is labour force - jobs. Hence, the weakest members of the jobs force are counted double. Also, discouraged workers are discounted (and the rules for discouraged workers means they are essentially anyone unemployed for more than some months). The real unemployment rate, discounting double jobs and including discouraged workers is somewhere between 9 and 16%)

The short of it is that the job market froze, with a few bubbles in between, at around 1984-1987 or so, at an unemployment rate of around 8% or so and has been slowly but very steadily increasing since. Even the rate at which this is happening is increasing. The government, of course, has changed definitions again and again to show better numbers, but so far they don't go all out China on us (ie. the real data still appears to be published by the government, unlike in China where we know 15 million people were fired last year in several provinces due to protests and violence resulting from it, but this is not reported anywhere in government data)

Granted, that's still not quite the story of Kurt Vonnegut, but keep in mind that we're about 30 years into a phase in history where jobs grow slightly slower than population growth. This could be accelerating, or it could simply be that under Obama there was no real jobs recovery despite "extraordinary measures" by the Fed.
No, the tariffs should be pointed in the other direction.
It is however probably not efficient for a smaller economical power to set up tariffs like that.

But I think the problem is more related to China, India and other upcoming "tigers".

A good exemple of that is SMTP. This protocol is fundamentally broken and needs to be fixed. There is really no good reason to allow any server to send emails on behalf of any random domain. The vast majority of users are still unaware of this behavior. The fixes that have been developped so far (spf, dkim, etc) are merely lipstick on the pig, they are so optional (and rarely used and when used often broken), that you can’t safely block traffic based on that. IP reputation has its own shortfalls and will become impractical with IPv6. If we don’t come up with a successor now, how will it ever be fixed ever? Emails aren’t going away.
Google Pixel 2 Review
A lot of digitization and AI potential isn't really that advanced. Most of it is simply removing non-creativethink requiring tasks from the workspace. Those task take up a lot of time though, and that's why it's going to change the world.

I already talked about how nobody noticed that jobs were being lost to retirement, but that's really only part of it. Another important factor has been the size of workforce generations, which had been decreasing for the past decades, meaning that our overall unemployment rates didn't go up.

We're at the bottom of that curve though, and if you look at unemployment rates solely for young people, then you'll notice how they have exploded.
> I think that's it! Sheep are mostly used for wool, goats for milk and the odd lambchop.
