> It feels like they treating us like children incapable of tying our own shoes or something

Well if the objective assessment of the evidence didn't reveal a wage gap based on gender, then maybe we could agree.

But it seems, left to their own devices, many companies perpetuate the wage gap.

So what this does is further increase the cost of doing already shady and illegal business by making a practice that's almost universally bad for workers anyways and made that illegal to.

These laws don't result in jail, they result in fines. So it's the government engaging in it's population-mandated practice of making illegal practices more expensive.
This shows the ultimate futility and failure of crypto currencies.

> If this is true one of Stackoverflow comments is quite chilling

MathOverflow?
Agreed. I actually think the SVD algorithm as it is implemented in most software packages is more complicated than the word2vec algorithm, which is actually quite simple.

Also, Glove (which is one of the newer word2vec alternatives you mentioned) works pretty similar to the approach in the blog post, but has some tweaks that make it perform better than this.
> To keep the line wrapping consistent with how the designer sees it in the application

From my perspective as a low-vision person who often uses magnification, this is an unwelcome invasion of the one-size-fits-all mindset from print design. Let my device reflow the text. Designers just have to embrace this newer, more dynamic medium.

Edit: Besides accessibility, what about the variety of screen sizes we have these days? This isn't the 90s.

Edit 2: To jamarante and others that think a canvas-based tool like this is a good idea, I recommend this article for a different approach to web design: https://www.chenhuijing.com/blog/a-better-web-design-process...

I don't like being negative, but, having given it a day's thought and read more of the comments, I firmly believe that what you're doing is a step backward for the Web. That doesn't mean that I think Web designers should write HTML and CSS by hand. Do give them better tools, but don't try to turn the Web into a new PDF.
Games can use all three of those very effectively. Agree they should be behind a permission prompt, though.

It persists because it's a real average.

And uh, it's not the case that the pay gap has been disproven in many industries.

I'm not sure what you mean by limit, could you elaborate?

Re AT&T - I don't see how that indicates private companies are good for getting basic research done in general.
Not every key generated with the recently discovered ROCA vulnerability was easily factored either. But there are lots of keys out there... And an important key might be one of the vulnerable ones.

Any kind of weakness like this is bad. Especially if more vulnerabilities like this exist it gets even worse.
The thing with neural nets is that once one gets over being impressed by their ability to do an impressive variety of things that previously weren't doable, and consider them as simply applications that have to stand with other applications, they look like ... the worst applications ever.

They're ... undocumented and have specified behavior (leading to serious, not-hypothetical problems like racial bias). Their maintenance is unspecified or nonexistent. They inherently have security holes in a multitude of fashions. Their performance isn't guaranteed and measured only against their own benchmarks, etc...

This kind of thing is much more of a problem when they have to be a system used by a large institution as just part of its operations (a loan evaluation program or a recidivism indicator) rather than a standard alone application (a program to play the game of go). But in the former capacity, a lot more work needs to be done.
> The planet isn't conscious and can't "treat us" as anything.

Well, we don't really know what consciousness really is, so it's hard to say that the Earth isn't conscious. After all, who would have thought a complex network of simple neurons arranged in a particular way would be conscious?
What did they mess up?
Can you point to where contenteditable is used? I was not able to see the attribute when inspecting the demo source.
> Word vectors are awesome but you don’t need a neural network – and definitely don’t need deep learning – to find them

Word2vec is not deep learning (the skip-gram algorithm is basically a one matrix multiplication followed by softmax, there isn't even place for activation function, why is this deep learning?), and it is simple and efficient. And most of all, there is no overhead using word2vec, just a difference between pre-trained vectors or trained ones.

I don't understand what this article tries to say.
It's weird how well-measured an "unmeasurable" value is...
DM has already done a bunch of work on 'deep models' of environments to plan over. Use them and you have 'model-predictive control' and planning, and this tree extension to policy gradients would work as well (probably). It could be pretty interesting to see what would happen if you tried that sort of hybrid on ALE.
Interesting article. Left my house in the middle of reading the article to go to Dollar General and get cookies. That Dollar General has been there my whole life, but only recently did we start going there regularly. It was mostly after they started selling some food, and esp. after they started selling milk and eggs at a loss. I was there 4 times in one day this weekend. We would never have done that a few years ago. They also went from one grimy store to three stores in the last five years in our small Midwestern town.
I see CF as a step backwards at this point. I'm sure they have learned their lesson but their response was absolutely terrible and that makes me wonder about their leadership. As long as that doesn't change there is a good chance that there will be a repeat at some point and so I'm not comfortable with placing that much trust in them.

Fortunately I don't need them, if you are in a position where a CDN is a must then that is a decision you're going to have to live with (or find another one than CF).
Do you mind me asking which industry you work in? I would have sent you an email but couldn't find your details in your profile
You received a lot of good general replies, but from one introvert to another: my time and space isn't respected at home living with others, libraries are suffocating in their own way and have more restrictions (protocols other than http/s generally not available, times open, more visitors explicitly looking for an outlet and desk space).

I regularly work out of coffee shops, for hours and hours at a time even, and unless you absolutely dread even the slightest interactions, "Hey is someone sitting there?", other patrons generally leave you to your devices figurative and literal. If you do summon the courage to talk to people, you get a nice mix of regular baristas and patrons as well as a revolving door of new faces to meet and exercise your social and networking skills.

The tradeoff for a few bucks a day was worth it to me. I can't afford a co-working space and while that would probably be better for long-term professional networking, you can't deny the breadth of people walking into any given Starbucks.
This happens also in germany and spain and europe in general.

Its just america that pays so damn much for developers, because of the competing capital. Price transparency is definitely not harming employees, and its also not harming companies in the long run.

Good point about the gyros and accelerometers. I'd think you could do decent lossless compression given that the frames should very similar. I suppose though that once you are doing sophisticated compression you aren't that far off from implementing the post processing we are talking about.

I guess the long and short of it is these camera companies aren't software people--except isn't Sony a big camera company? You'd think they'd be able to bridge the gap.
I think supporting permaculture is a big step we can all take. Have a look at Ben Falk's YouTube videos for a quick intro, or Sepp Holzer. We need to move towards a form of agriculture which does active good for the planet. It's possible to do.

Edit: Also, a simple step: leave parts of your lawn unmowed for a full year. This gives insects and certain endangered birds much needed habitat in what is otherwise a wasteland of suburbian lawns.
Any reason to use Scala native when Rust exists?
Those should never be exposed beyond your local network. Any access to them should be vetted and encrypted by something more heavyweight before it hits the WAN.
https://ckeditor5.github.io/, inspect the content editing div itself, it's there.

One thing I've realized playing with a ton of different editors is that contenteditable gives you one very important feature that you can't fake yourself: access to the browser's spell check and corrections. It's possible that CKEditor ignores everything else about contenteditable, but turns it on just for red squigglies.

The problem with this is that any time you add a subclass to Animal, you need to manually update AnyAnimal to handle it.

It’s possible to do this more generically, because you know the animal’s type in the AnyAnimal constructor and that’s sufficient to declare its subsequent behavior:

struct AnyAnimal: Animal {
let name: String
private let walker: () -> Void
private let eater: (Any) -> Void

init<T: Animal>(_ animal: T) {
name = animal.name
walker = { animal.walk() }
eater = { food in
guard let f = food as? T.FoodType else { return }
animal.eat(food: f)
}
}

func walk(){ walker() }

func eat(food: Any){ eater(food) }
}
It's not too burdensome to add a notebook and pen to your kit.

When I was last in school, I also used an iPad (with GoodReader, GoodNotes & Voice Dream, 'cuz each is better than the others at at least one thing I care about), but I only used it for reading and annotating books & papers. I agree that it's not a great option as a replacement for a notebook.
I remember it was classically famous for how it was much higher than expected.

So much so I thought it looked very fake in the movie, but the special effects people kinda shrugged and emperor new clothes it.

The pool size restrictions can be worked around too:

Put 999 Indian IDs in your pool and 1 from your target in the USA.

Then run your campaign targeting USA only.

There's other work around like this, but I think you get the idea.
>They claim they had a large team working on the project for 4-5 years full-time.

Can you cite that claim please? just curious :)
OK, but the probability of choosing a prime satisfying this hypothesis is infinitesimal. Unless there's some bias in the way primes are chosen for RSA keys?
I understand that the paper means that they didn't train it on expert input. The significance of the research is that this is a more general way to construct a game AI. The question I am posing is how far we have to go on that front.
There’s almost no chance you’ll pull 80+ kWh from a campsite jack in a night. Typically you’ll be provided 15amp @ 110v at best. That’s only ~2kWh.

Also, most camp sites charge ~$10/day for electricity. Depending on the electric rates, they likely won’t lose a dime covering your usage at that price.

The First Prototype Design Competition Held in Chengdu, China
Ask HN: Salary increase from Seattle to Bay Area
Software engineer contemplating a move from Seattle to Mountain View. I'd be coming in at the senior level to a company considered a "unicorn". When I do the math on the cost of living increase and what I currently make, the minimum salary that I need to make is 175K. Is this low, on target, or high for a Senior Engineer in the valley? Initial offer is in the mid-150K range.

I should note, I'd be leaving behind a job I'm not completely unhappy with, co-workers that I like, and friends and family, for what looks like a great job in a place where we don't know anyone.
> For example, I contribute much better in an audio conference or Slack (just text) meetings, than in a video conference or a face to face meeting. In the former case, I am more relaxed and am able to focus on the problem being discussed and in the latter case, not so much. This might be specific to certain personality types but is true for me for sure.

I work remote from my team and thus far I've found that being in person forces me to focus and contribute more, and that I tend to slack off on audio conferences.

Different strokes for different folks?

I got a boosted board at this beginning of this summer, and I've really enjoyed using it to get around. It's mostly for my commute, but I've definitely taken it out in the evenings and stuff too— indeed, my main complaint is that I haven't yet gotten proper lights for it, so I can't ride after dark.

"Essentially what the dollar stores are betting on in a large way is that we are going to have a permanent underclass in America"

I would phrase that differently.

"Essentially what the dollar stores are betting on in a large way is that we are going to see an increase in the underclass in America".

We've always had an underclass, it's just increasing at an unprecedented rate.

> Good luck talking to them about it; you'll be labelled a green wacko one step removed from eco-fanatics who firebomb SUV dealerships.

Yes, and? That's them projecting the weakness they actually do have inside them on you. To the degree you are free from weakness, their weakness will destroy them, so be the wall they splatter themselves against, be the water they drown in.

> your neighbors are going to think you're crazy if your yard is all monkey grass or vines or cacti.

If someone genuinely thinks a person who is otherwise acting perfectly normal is genuinely, clinically crazy because of some vines or weeds... there's a reason for that, too. If you end up with such neighbors, laugh your ass off and go about your day. Walk softly, carry a big stick, and let honesty be your biggest ruse. If you want to please everybody, you're going to be a hostage of the worst and then still die like all of us. So "cut the crap, fuck the rest."
It frustrates me that even though I am not in a HOA area, I cannot do this without getting letters from the city and fines. They will come mow my lawn for me and then charge me if I don't keep them mowed. Even my back yard which is almost 100% enclosed. I rent, otherwise I would build a wall right against my neighbors property so they wouldn't call the city on me for being able to see through a 5 foot gap into the back yard. I try to be considerate and keep the front and side clean but they even complained about there being too much wildlife back there (as if that was a bad thing). I usually have a whole bunny family living back there with birds and lots of bugs but eventually I have to mow it or have it mowed for me at my expense.
You are right the high end of the CS300 competes with the low end of the 737. I was thinking of the actual trade dispute Boeing filed which was over the sale of CS100 aircraft to Delta, which actually does not compete with the 737.
You should probably examine really closely why they do this.

My hypotheses are:

1. They are doing it to purposely be unproductive. It's like in school where kids would ask the smartest kids in the class to bring down the grading curve by telling them to relax or hang out more.

<3k LOC supports this theory, which is absurdly small for a team that's been around for a while.

2. They see you as a threat. This could be for the above reason, it could be because of your background. The hazing and insulting comments support this.

This might also go into a lot of things that you haven't mentioned. Like some people saw me as a threat when I was the only developer who didn't have to work at the office. It might also be that you're staying in later or coming in earlier, skip lunch, aren't going out on drinks with them, aren't engaging in some workplace ritual.

Hypotheses should be tested, then you can work on solving the problem.

I would recommend the Benjamin Franklin approach. Ben was ambitious, but he was bad at reading people early in life. He was screwed multiple times for standing his ground or proving that he was right.

He eventually learned to roll with the punches, to fit in even though he thought it was wrong and unproductive.

You probably want to quit later, but it might be a good exercise to find out what you're doing wrong so you don't face the same issue in the future.
Yeah, Diesel is tough; they're working on better docs which should help out quite a bit.

There's two problems as I see it.

#1- What if an attacker was able to modify how you pick your RSA keys? You could prove that hey, this RSA key is safe, and it's roots are prime, and I just generated it. But unbeknownst to you, your attacker is cracking your RSA key as soon as you start using it. The NSA is probably already trying to attack this way.

#2- What if this isn't an isolated case, but the first discovery in an entire class of prime numbers? What if there's a whole spectrum of 'strength' of every prime and we had no idea? We need to research this topic more to find out for sure.

I don't really see many factory goods made in Mexico on my day-to-day. Mostly, it's Chinese goods. Sure, Mexico produces machinery, etc. but remember that there is no VAT in Mexico when it's a firm buying the good, so the entire VAT thing becomes moot for most goods.

And the difference in costs wrt China is so large that even adding the 12% difference won't change things (12% = 17% VAT in China - 5.5% VAT where I live in the US).
No idea if you're still watching this thread.

I've got a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 card. It's a version with ISA and PnP (no jumpers), but I don't remember the exact model number offhand.

I selected SB16 in the configuration without trouble.

I also did some extra credit work: I diagnosed and fixed the memory error that I described, to get it running on my machine. There's a place in the code where it gets the number of kilobytes of free RAM. It compares it to the required memory, then uses a "jg" (signed comparison, jump if greater) to jump. I changed that instruction to "ja" (unsigned comparison, jump if above), and the game boots correctly now.

Of course, the easier answer was always "download the demo from archive.org and run it in Dosbox", but then you're missing out on part of the fun ;-)
