Elon Musk gets OK to begin digging for Hyperloop project in Maryland
What about Elon Musk or John Carmack running Google? I would love it.
So how would this work in practice? I'm s73ver_@foo. What happens if instance foo becomes unworkable, and I need to leave (it gets overrun by spam or something). I want to move to instance bar. But, there's already a s73ver_@bar. What happens?
Pinged you on GitHub but you'll need to initiate the transfer to move the repo: https://help.github.com/articles/transferring-a-repository-o...
When people say technical ability they are often drawing a distinction between overall ability to engineer (which includes many technical and non-technical things) and ability in some super specific area (C++ template metaprogramming wizard).

It's a forest for the trees sort of thing. In my limited experience with former googlers and microsoft people, they came from environments that were so far removed from real customers and product feedback that their only measure of success was if they could impress their peers by using the very latest features of C++ move semantics, as opposed to architecting/building a scalable system that actually solved a customer problem.

Literally I know of a startup that basically failed because the ex-microsoft guy spent most of this time building C++ $WHATEVER to get better performance on our i/o bound app and the ex-googler spent most of his time reorganizing the repo. They never got around to delivering software that they could iterate on.

[edit]

Both of those places are big companies, if you feel the need to respond with how you work at company X and your team is great at getting things done, you really don't need to bother. We get it, companies with tends of thousands of employees probably have many different subcultures.
It would be great to have some buttons in C-v mode to "y, p, x" ... and maybe you could (ab)-use %/* while in visual mode to allow rotation or flipping?

Love it!
> I do care if my students are overworked. Burnt out students produce shitty science.

Good point and apologies for the slight. I suppose a better way of putting it is that faculty are often ignorant of their students' issues / difficulties due to their busy schedules.
Risky, not reckless.

Sometimes, teams just suck. You can waste your time trying to fix it or you can move on. If you have no skin in the game, I say you should move on.

For instance, I've been shopping around for a new job and had a CTO of a decent sized ~30 person engineering team told me during the interview that their standards for testing is "get it working" and "test on staging." If basic unit tests are a luxury around here, how do you expect to grow and become better devs over time?
> videos such as those that were produced by ISIS/ISIL

ISIS videos are what people are using to sell these policies. In reality, a lot of mainstream political speech in the US and EU will be censored by these policies. This is not an accident. Social media has succeeded too well in allowing normal plebians to spread ideas the ruling classes find distasteful.
I guess as close to realtime access to space without say flying there. I sometimes watch the ISS feed from space pretty neat.
Could you add "disjoint" to the title? It's so close to containing the gist of the problem. If anyone else goes from the title to the solution, it'll save some confusion.
Yep, ufw works well for relatively simple use cases. I've always written my rulesets by hand (since ipfwadm) -- even for ASAs and SSGs and so on -- and prefer to. When I started using Ansible, however, I started looking for an easier way and have since switched to using ufw on all Ansible-managed (RHEL/CentOS) publicly-accessible hosts.

I tried using firewalld (on RHEL/CentOS) since that's now the "official way" but I just had too many issues, said "f--k it", and gave up on it. Mostly I didn't like that it tried to be helpful and auto-create certain rules (that I didn't need nor want) but I also had issues with it not respecting the ordering of my rules. Creating a "raw" iptables ruleset (one that can be loaded with iptables-restore) gives me complete control over my firewall rules -- and that's what I want.
It is an American bank thing. When I use my American Visa card in the UK, I still get asked to sign. They end up not having a pen because locals never need to sign. I started using apple pay to avoid this. Contactless payment is much more popular in Europe.
Sorry, was referring to "defederation", as mentioned by the OP. It sounded like there was a mechanism for some kind of permabanning of the server from the federated network.
It should be the same as the General who commended a PFC for challenging him and a manger who acts up in this way should be displined.
I recently was at a seminar where the lady sitting next to me was a network analyst. Her laptop was running debian and she needed to install docker to be able to work along in the seminar, so she did the logical thing which was to go to docker.com and opened the "Get docker" menu. Under that menu, there are two main options, "Mac" and "Windows". She managed to get down to the "for servers" section and click "debian" at which point she was directed to "download docker from the docker store" at which point she was lost for a while. Then she managed to get to this document https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/... at which point I had to help her, because she didn't know which exact version of debian she was running and didn't know how to find out. I would say it was pretty much a catastrophe, as she spent about half an hour trying to get docker installed.

You ran "yum install docker-ce" you were lucky that you knew the name of the package. I didn't know the name on Fedora, and looking here https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/... didn't help one bit. Indeed, that page doesn't include a line with "yum" in it at all!
> Are we really still repeating this nonsense?

I get the sense that this "fact" was used BECAUSE it's "well-known". It serves the narrative purpose of showing that Google is fallible, rather than sinister (truth be damned).

The article begins by describing the CEO of one of the 10 largest companies in the world's office furniture. It was clear from the outset that this was not going to be an article terribly troubled by a sense of duty to present a completely neutral reading of the relevant facts.
You can run your own server.
No. To say that I'm not a proponent of free speech because I don't support those things is completely inane.

And for you to equate civil rights struggles with sending women rape threats is quite mind boggling.
> Apple aren't a monopoly

I'm not sure that's the case; Apple isn't as dominant in share of any intuitively-described market as, say, Google and search ads, but a more relevant test for monopoly is pricing power, and I wouldn't be surprised if they in fact have that for some of their products/services.
Yes, I tried to be careful in what I stated, but here's what I meant: "$" is the everyday currency symbol of far fewer people than "¥". "USD" is the everyday currency of only about as many people as "EUR"
If I was you, I would have exported these csv along with the header line to mongodb. Excel and other tools have a limit to the number of rows and columns they can display.
Now, this has worked for me because I eventually had to process the data and my go-to stack had mongodb. You can try that if you like, or:

You can go with pandas (python) to programmatically read the csv.

Advice: Avoid CSVs for huge amount of data.
I'm pretty sure the awkward photos are part of the gag.
Code in "Comparison.cs" on line 1307

// if we don't have frequencies, use the default (this should never happen, but here it is)
if (tblFreq == null || tblFreq.Rows.Count == 0)
{
a = (float)0.02;
b = (float)0.02;
}

is kind of fishy. Why not bomb out instead of failing silently for things that are never supposed to happen? Not saying this is inherently wrong - I'm certainly not capable of actually understanding the details of the analysis
It's not clear exactly which video gave the paradigm shift...can anyone enlighten me?
Yes, but that'd show up in the data. If there were complaints against them, and those happened to coincide with the cameras being off, that's a very easy thing to detect in the data.
> I think people get a skewed perception of the police force from a relatively small number of highly publicized incidents.

Or perhaps people arrive at their perceptions based on personal experience? Certainly my own experience with police has shaped my views far more than anything I've seen in the news.
...but my expectation is that fraudsters are less likely to go for it if they have to sign.

This won't work if they've worked retail and realized that most cashiers don't check (it isn't worth it) and that most folks scribble their signature so sloppily - or with a line - that it doesn't seem to make a difference anyway.
ACLU has written and refined very good rules for proper bodycam use that protects both citizen and police officer privacy.

The two are quite a bit different.

Slide feels more modern, presents images and videos more prominently and overall, it feels like you're consuming more content. It's also a bit buggier and I found using it to be more strenuous, just because you're going through more content.

RedReader has a much more conservative and simpler navigation scheme, feels more text-focused and more reliable. It's missing some features compared to Slide, for example a "gallery view" for image-focused subreddits or some filtering and customization features, but it also has its own strengths.

For me, RedReader's offline-viewing feature worked a lot better. It (pre-)caches posts while you're reading and then you can just transparently read on when you lose internet. Slide seemed to not cache as much and while it has a separate feature to download entire subreddits' posts at a set time, that never seemed to work reliably for me (again seemed to not cache that much).

Another relatively big detail is that in RedReader, you can vote by sliding a post or comment left/right. In Slide, you have to instead hit a button, which is much harder to do and takes you out of the reading flow.

Sliding is then again reserved in Slide for navigation. For example, you generally slide left to right to go back. That works well, too, makes for a fluid feel, but I find I have to often stop and think for half a second what my slide will do or how I have to slide to do what I want to do. This adds to the strenuous feel, but I can imagine that this becomes really intuitive, if you use the app for a while.

Personally, I actually had both installed most of the time and switched back and forth between them (which also creates problems, like filter lists & settings not being shared).

Most of the time, I spent in RedReader, but that was purely subjective. I liked the simplicity and reliability. I do think that more people would prefer Slide. It seems to follow the design that's currently popular with Reddit apps.

Mind that I've stopped using Reddit about two months ago (when they made up obvious bullshit to excuse not anymore open-sourcing the website code), so that's about how up-to-date I am on these two apps.
Yeah well done, when I first looked at the list of countries I figured they might add up to ~1B, but they didn't even come close!

It's easy to forget just how much bigger China is.

Probably also a factor, but that's also not representative and subject to perceptual biases.
Question for users of mastodon:

Given the flagship's stances on free speech (https://mastodon.social/about/more), if I am a user on the flagship instance (we'll call it A) and I want to follow an account on another server (let's call it B) that posts content that wouldn't be allowed on A, would my act of following that user on B pull the content to A? And would that content be removed? or does it only get removed if it is post to A in the first place?

My concern is that users on the flagship instance would only see a curated feed of the things they follow, even if following content on server that don't have such strict content policies.
They could just load the images and videos without the need for javascript. We know that they can do this, because they specifically made it show low-res versions for those without javascript. They went out of their way to handle this admittedly niche user base already, purposefully to make their experience worse.
How do C++ references not protect you from NULL ?

From the standard:

> A reference shall be initialized to refer to a valid object or function. [Note: in particular, a null reference cannot exist in a well-defined program, because the only way to create such a reference would be to bind it to the “object” obtained by dereferencing a null pointer, which causes undefined behavior. As described in 9.6, a reference cannot be bound directly to a bit-field. ]
i was going to mention this. +1
I disagree very strongly. The results of the Deepwater Horizon were terrible, indeed, but Transocean runs many deepwater oil rigs (in addition to many other O&G ventures) with a single (huge/terrible) accident.

Equifax has a single database to protect and they failed at it, I will also argue that a company like Equifax offers minimal legitimate value and what value they suggest to offer is really an anti-value and therefore are, perhaps, eligible for such an extreme sanction.
I agree but like everything with optimization and refactoring, the cost to move up towards a 100 offers less ROI in the end. I think if you're at 90 that's solid, no desire to be in the 100 club nor would I tell a client you need to be there.
Indeed. You would need one helluva Postgres workload to overload that. Not one in a million people genuinely have that requirement.
Introducing Redux Zero
Take a look at https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs which will let you do something like

import attr

@attr.s
class Key(object):
modifier = attr.ib()
key = attr.ib()
function = attr.ib()
argument = attr.ib()

keys = [
Key(MODKEY, XK_p, spawn, {'v': dmenucmd}),
Key(MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_Return, spawn, {'v': termcmd}),
# ...
]

which gets you the concise and readable syntax of C structs, while keeping these things as actual attributes as if they were classes (e.g., [key.modifier for key in keys] will work).

And you get designated initializers via Python's usual keyword-argument syntax, the ability to specify attr.ib(default=...), and a few other things.
Poaching is rarely a problem if the employee feels valued and doesn't feel like they're being ripped off by their employer. Just saying.
How was the case handled?
Did they find the gunman?
Was he charged?

I ask because, honestly, I don't think I care what they police say when they first walk up as long as they solve the crime, catch the perpetrator.

The problem we have nowadays is that we get to see "how the (justice system) sausage is made" a lot more than we used to. And it's disturbing. But those guys out there with uniforms on are the ones trying to survive every day and bring criminals to justice. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback.
If you know how to do that in C, you can call the same functions from Rust (you'll find them in libc crate or you'll need `bindgen` to convert a C header to Rust).

The Rust ecosystem is still young, but on the upside maintainers are active and keen to expand their crates, so there's a high chance they'll add the feature you need if you just ask.
Congrats! Is there a short summary about how your approach is different from existing stacks (like tensorflow, or nnvm)?

If the Supreme Court interprets the Second Amendment to apply to the upper appendages we call arms, that is a factual error, not just a different interpretation. It is possible for an interpretation, given the evidence, to be factually wrong in as much as anything can be factually wrong.
Life does not equal beautiful vistas. Cities are full of life, but to me, they are often the ugliest of landscapes. While I find plenty of aesthetically pleasing natural landscapes, even desolate ones.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Real estate developers pale in comparison to the sheer amount of land in the US. Hell, even just on the "wrong side of the tracks" in many very expensive cities there's often completely abandoned/disused land that's worth a tiny fraction of the land a half mile a way.

Once you get somewhere more rural/remote, the land is going to have even less value.
This just changes the arbitrariness from Twitter to someone else. The Mastodon admin having power is not decentralization, the user having it is. Might as well stick with Twitter, at least you can create a ruckus.

Given new solutions are developed to address the issues of centralization it gives one pause if basic issues around censoring, silencing and dis-empowering individuals has not been thought about.

Then Mastodon or anything else is pretending to be a solution but is actually just another actor cynically using 'decentralization' to jockey for influence and not really addressing the core issues of twitter.

And using Ruby which is known for not being user friendly for setup and installation is counterproductive to any goal of decentralization.

Exactly. I don't think there is any serious cognitive science who claims that the brain works EXACTLY like a computer. It doesn't and we have understood that for a long time.

But it obviously processes information, or we wouldn't be able to interact with the world, or understand any of our sensory data.

Has this author ever worked with neural networks? It is clear that NNs can store representations, and although they are not the same as data stored on a hard-drive, they are still representational.
There is an adage I came up with when working in the IT security consultancy field: 99% of IT security flaws are people, and 99% of that is complacency.
The example errors in this article seem to come from amici briefs (NASA v. Nelson) or from the justices' private research (the five other examples). If so, they have not been subject to any adverserial process or lower court scrutiny.
The Github page shows a nice overview and some examples: https://github.com/hanzhanggit/StackGAN. Interestingly it seems to struggle with the birds' legs (e.g. merging them with branches, blurring them or just not generating them). Is this is a problem with the size of the feature or the colors or ...? I know very little about this field but I find it fascinating.

I don’t know if you were here long enough to experience the range of promotion processes, but only the lowest levels of tech promotions are based on individual contributions and ability. To reach “senior” grade, the lowest career grade at Google, requires significant demonstration of leadership. To get above “senior” based on individual contribution alone is virtually impossible. But to rise higher based on leadership alone is quite doable.

I would say technical ability is the least important of the three dimensions of Google’s promotion process for SWEs.
I'm not sure about arresting, but, clawing back huge amounts of the money (particularly any bonuses/options/stock but perhaps not salary).

And, as far as fines, I think just providing a very simple path whereby they are deemed responsible for losses resulting from the breach is enough. Me having to personally sue them and personally prove their responsibility in a court is a very high bar. A class action is a much lower bar, but, will result in me getting significantly diminished compensation. Some process in-between that where their guilt is established beforehand and I merely need to prove what my damages are and I can collect, say, treble damages from Equifax would fix the Equifax problem in a more egalitarian way.
wait but wouldn't the states have to pay for those lawsuits if the video evidence showed the cop doing the thing? Ohh I guess the narrative is that the police is most often wrongfully accused of wrongdoing, costing the state millions, which the cameras could help to clear up. Fnord.
The man with two penises
This argument can be applied to anything, even black market industries. The commerce clause ruling allows congress to make a law about anything explicitly not forbidden in the Constitution or given as a power of a different branch. This was clearly not the writers intentions. It is a loophole of the sort that a judge wouldn't tolerate being used against them in their own courtroom.
This is a case where the Nuremberg defence is very useful. If you have explicit policies that are consistently followed, you take away most of the social cost and can even make breaking policy the more difficult choice.

The problems occur in dysfunctional organisations where senior management expect to be exempt from their own rules. Expecting the rules to be bent for your own convenience gives your subordinates tacit permission to bend the rules. Someone who has bent the rules for their boss is far more likely to bend the rules for their buddy. If you're asking people to do inconvenient things, you have to lead by example.
